Comparison of quality metrics in an education-centered medical home with local and national benchmarks
Med Educ Online. 2022 Dec;27(1):2073806. doi: 10.1080/10872981.2022.2073806.ABSTRACTThe Education-Centered Medical Home (ECMH) is a longitudinal clerkship where students provide care to patients at one clinic site for the entirety of medical school. Studies have demonstrated that ECMHs have higher completion rates of preventative measures than traditional student-run free clinics (SRFCs). However, data comparing ECMHs with licensed primary care provider clinics are limited. We performed a prospective chart review that examined vaccination and cancer screening rates of patients in an ECMH and those seen by primary care phys...

Assessment of medical undergraduates relation to pneumococcal conjugate vaccine use
Conclusions: During the study, it was revealed that students’ awareness and positive relation to PCV had significantly increased. However, despite the availability of clinical recommendations, the current level of knowledge in preventive vaccination cannot be considered as satisfactory. We believe that pneumonia preventive methods should be studied in more detail in medical universities.

Dermatologic care for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons face important health issues relevant to dermatologists. Men who have sex with men (MSM) are at higher risk of certain infectious diseases, including HIV, syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections, and invasive meningococcal disease, and might be at higher risk of non-infectious conditions, including skin cancer. Recommendations for preventive health care, including screening for HIV and other STDs, sexual health-related vaccinations, and HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis, differ for MSM compared with non-MSM.

The assessment of physicians knowledge of community-acquired pneumonia basics: KNOCAP study
Conclusions: The results gained in the survey revealed the insufficient level of physicians’ knowledge in management of patients with CAP. On the one hand, a number of issues need to be considered more carefully, on the other hand, educational activities have to be conducted among physicians of medical and preventive treatment facilities.

Trends in antimicrobial susceptibility patterns in King Fahad Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Conclusion: Streptococcus pneumoniae susceptibility to penicillin significantly improved over time, which might be because of the introduction of the pneumococcal vaccine. Conversely, the upward trend in resistant gram-negative organisms is worrisome and warrants the implementation of antimicrobial stewardship programs. PMID: 30834420 [PubMed - in process]

Hospital incidence, in-hospital mortality and medical costs of pneumococcal disease in Spain (2008-2017): a retrospective multicentre study.
CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of pneumococcal pneumonia and meningitis decreased over the study period after the introduction of vaccination in Spain. The advanced age of patients and presence of chronic comorbid conditions that are associated to in-hospital mortality must be taken into account when improving care protocols and upcoming vaccination plans.

The Incidence of Pediatric Invasive Bacterial Diseases in Nippon Medical School Chiba Hokusoh Hospital before and after the Introduction of Conjugate Vaccines.
Abstract The introduction of the Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine and the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) has led to dramatic reductions in cases of invasive H. influenzae disease and invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). After the introduction of the PCV7 and the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13), the number of children with IPD markedly decreased in our hospital. However, since 2015, three children with IPD have been admitted to our hospital. We analyzed the serotype, multilocus sequence type, and antimicrobial susceptibility of Streptococcus pneumoniae strains isolated in...

Primary Care Professionals' Attitudes Towards Vaccination Recommendation for Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease
CONCLUSIONS: There is room for improvement of vaccination recommendations by PCPs. Promoting continuing education and use of clinical tools may help support PCP immunization practices for patients with IBD.PMID:35779060 | DOI:10.1093/ibd/izac129

Cost-effectiveness of continuing pneumococcal conjugate vaccination at age 65 in the context of indirect effects from the childhood immunization program.
CONCLUSION: Indirect effects from the childhood PCV13 program have dramatically increased the cost per QALY of continuing to recommend PCV13 at age 65 after only a few years. PMID: 31889609 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

SHM 2022 Awards of Excellence and Junior Investigator Award
This study was the largest prospective investigation of pediatric pneumonia hospitalizations ever conducted in the U.S., and fundamentally altered how we think about pneumonia etiology in the era of highly effective pneumococcal vaccines. Currently, his research team is focused on the conduct of two National Institutes of Health-funded pragmatic randomized trials testing the effectiveness of predictive analytics and clinical decision support to optimize antibiotic utilization and inform disease-severity assessments in childhood pneumonia. In total, Dr. Williams has authored more than 100 peer-reviewed publications in top-t...

Does social deprivation correlate with meningococcal MenACWY, Hib/MenC and 4CMenB/Meningococcal Group B vaccine uptake in Northern Ireland?
CONCLUSIONS: Within the last two decades, incidence of meningococcal disease has been on the decline. The introduction of meningococcal vaccines has contributed to this decrease and uptake of such vaccines should remain a public health priority to maintain the decline in meningococcal disease. Identifying contributing factors to low vaccine uptake, such as, the association between local deprivation and uptake of meningococcal vaccines, should be of public health importance and acknowledged by local governments and policy makers in their efforts to enhance vaccine uptake, both infant and teenage vaccination. There is a clea...
