Ischemic Stroke Subtypes: Socio-demographic Factors, Risk Factors, and Outcomes in Southern Sri Lanka
CONCLUSION: The comparative risk of different IS subtypes depends on different risk factors. The findings of this study demonstrate that sub-categories within each stroke subtype may behave independently with regard to risk factors and outcomes, thus warranting the need for individual assessment.PMID:34720554 | PMC:PMC8545479 | DOI:10.18865/ed.31.4.509

The Burden of Hypertension and Diabetes in an Emergency Department in Northern Tanzania.
Conclusions: The burden of hypertension and diabetes in a Tanzanian ED is high, and the ED may serve as an opportune location for case identification and linkage-to-care interventions. Given the large proportion of Africans with undiagnosed hypertension and diabetes, an ED-based screening program would likely identify many new cases of these diseases. The high burden of hypertension- and diabetes-related hospitalizations highlights the urgent need for improvements in primary preventative care in Tanzania. PMID: 31641323 [PubMed - in process]

Social and Medical Determinants of Cardiometabolic Health: The Big Picture.
Authors: Puckrein GA, Egan BM, Howard G Abstract Cardiometabolic diseases, including diabetes and heart disease, account for >12 million years of life lost annually among Black adults in the United States. Health disparities are geographically localized, with ~80% of health disparities occurring within ~6000 (16%) of all 38,000 US ZIP codes. Socio-economic status (SES), behavioral and environmental factors (social determinants) account for ~80% of variance in health outcomes and cluster geographically. Neighborhood SES is inversely associated with prevalent diabetes and hypertension, and Blacks are four times mo...
