Organizational factors may contribute to the risk of infection. The objective is to evaluate the association of unit occupancy, nursing overtime ratios, and nursing provision ratios with the risk of NI among very preterm infants in the NICU.  </p> Mon, 16 Jan 2023 20:31:10 +0000 Marissa Fazio 4652499 at /epi-biostat-occh Bloodstream infections in children hospitalized for influenza, 2010-2020 /epi-biostat-occh/article/mscph-public-health-day-2023-infectious-diseases-including-covid/bloodstream-infections-children-hospitalized-influenza-2010-2020 <h2>Abstract</h2> <p><b>Background </b>Influenza virus infection is a substantial cause of severe illness, hospitalization, and mortality in children. Infection by influenza can also predispose the host to bacterial infection, including bloodstream infections, which are associated with more severe illness than influenza infection alone. The purpose of this work is to describe the clinical course of children hospitalized for influenza whose illness is complicated by bloodstream infection.</p> Mon, 16 Jan 2023 21:54:02 +0000 Jacqueline Modler 4652578 at /epi-biostat-occh Enhancing Our Understanding of the Role of the Environment in the Spread and Development of Antimicrobial Resistance /epi-biostat-occh/article/mscph-public-health-day-2023-infectious-diseases-including-covid/enhancing-our-understanding-role-environment-spread-and-development-antimicrobial-resistance <h2>Abstract</h2> Tue, 17 Jan 2023 20:22:47 +0000 Vanessa Nichols 4653485 at /epi-biostat-occh Bridging the Gap from Exposure to Burden of Illness: An Analysis of Human Factors for Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae Colonization /epi-biostat-occh/article/mscph-public-health-day-2023-infectious-diseases-including-covid/bridging-gap-exposure-burden-illness-analysis-human-factors-extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase <h2>Abstract</h2> Tue, 17 Jan 2023 21:39:19 +0000 Claire Semelhago 4653539 at /epi-biostat-occh The Accuracy of Dose Reports Generated by Digital Adherence Technologies for Tuberculosis: A Systematic Review /epi-biostat-occh/article/mscph-public-health-day-2023-infectious-diseases-including-covid/accuracy-dose-reports-generated-digital-adherence-technologies-tuberculosis-systematic-review <h2>Abstract</h2> <p><b>Background: </b>Digital adherence technologies (DATs), such as phone-based technologies, and digital pillboxes, can potentially provide more patient-centric approaches for supporting tuberculosis (TB) medication adherence and improving outcomes. My project focused on the diagnostic accuracy of dose reporting generated by DATs for TB treatment support.</p> Wed, 18 Jan 2023 20:05:27 +0000 Miranda Zary 4654475 at /epi-biostat-occh In the Wake of COVID-19: Updating the Recommendations for the Control of Respiratory Infection Outbreaks in Long-Term Care Homes, 2018 /epi-biostat-occh/article/mscph-public-health-day-2023-infectious-diseases-including-covid/wake-covid-19-updating-recommendations-control-respiratory-infection-outbreaks-long-term-care-homes <h2>Abstract</h2> Wed, 18 Jan 2023 20:08:06 +0000 Ruhan Zhang 4654476 at /epi-biostat-occh Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP), Demographic and Socio-Economic Determinants of Dengue Seropositivity Among Children: A Cross-Sectional Study /epi-biostat-occh/article/mscph-public-health-day-2023-infectious-diseases-including-covid/knowledge-attitude-and-practice-kap-demographic-and-socio-economic-determinants-dengue <h2>Abstract</h2> <p><strong>Background</strong>  </p> Wed, 18 Jan 2023 20:10:33 +0000 Yang Zhang 4654477 at /epi-biostat-occh
