We introduce a new framework for forecasting age-sex-country-cause-specific mortality rates that incorporates considerably more information, and thus has the potential to forecast much better, than any existing approach. Mortality forecasts are used in a wide variety of academic fields, and for global and national health policy making, medical and pharmaceutical research, and social security and retirement planning. As it turns out, the tools we developed in pursuit of this goal also have broader statistical implications, in addition to their use for forecasting mortality or other variables with similar statistical properties. First, our methods make it possible to include different explanatory variables in a time series regression for each cross-section, while still borrowing strength from one regression to improve the estimation of all. Second, we show that many existing Bayesian (hierarchi cal and spatial) models with explanatory variables use prior densities that incorrectly formalize prior knowledge. Many demographers and public health researchers have fortuitously avoided this problem so prevalent in other fields by using prior knowledge only as an ex post check on empirical results, but this approach excludes considerable information from their models. We show how to incorporate this demographic knowledge into a model in a statistically appropriate way. Finally, we develop a set of tools useful for developing models with Bayesian priors in the presence of partial prior ignorance. This approach also provides many of the attractive features claimed by the empirical Bayes approach, but fully within the standard Bayesian theory of inference.

Population mortality forecasts are widely used for allocating public health expenditures, setting research priorities, and evaluating the viability of public pensions, private pensions, and health care financing systems. In part because existing methods seem to forecast worse when based on more information, most forecasts are still based on simple linear extrapolations that ignore known biological risk factors and other prior information. We adapt a Bayesian hierarchical forecasting model capable of including more known health and demographic information than has previously been possible. This leads to the first age- and sex-specific forecasts of American mortality that simultaneously incorporate, in a formal statistical model, the effects of the recent rapid increase in obesity, the steady decline in tobacco consumption, and the well known patterns of smooth mortality age profiles and time trends. Formally including new information in forecasts can matter a great deal. For example, we estimate an increase in male life expectancy at birth from 76.2 years in 2010 to 79.9 years in 2030, which is 1.8 years greater than the U.S. Social Security Administration projection and 1.5 years more than U.S. Census projection. For females, we estimate more modest gains in life expectancy at birth over the next twenty years from 80.5 years to 81.9 years, which is virtually identical to the Social Security Administration projection and 2.0 years less than U.S. Census projections. We show that these patterns are also likely to greatly affect the aging American population structure. We offer an easy-to-use approach so that researchers can include other sources of information and potentially improve on our forecasts too. Website See also: Mortality Studies

Background Establishing and maintaining relationships and ways of connecting and being with others is an important component of health and wellbeing. Harnessing the relational within caring, supportive, educational, or carceral settings as a systems response has been referred to as relational practice. Practitioners, people with lived experience, academics and policy makers, do not yet share a well-defined common understanding of relational practice. Consequently, there is potential for interdisciplinary and interagency miscommunication, as well as the risk of policy and practice being increasingly disconnected. Comprehensive reviews are needed to support the development of a coherent shared understanding of relational practice. MethodThis study uses a scoping review design providing a scope and synthesis of extant literature relating to relational practice focussing on organisational and systemic practice. The review aimed to map how relational practice is used, defined and understood across health, criminal justice, education and social work, noting any impacts and benefits reported. Searches were conducted on 8 bibliographic databases on 27 October 2021. English language articles were included that involve/discuss practice and/or intervention/s that prioritise interpersonal relationships in service provision, in both external (organisational contexts) and internal (how this is received by workers and service users) aspects. Results A total of 8010 relevant articles were identified, of which 158 met the eligibility criteria and were included in the synthesis. Most were opinion-based or theoretical argument papers (n = 61, 38.60%), with 6 (3.80%) critical or narrative reviews. A further 27 (17.09%) were categorised as case studies, focussing on explaining relational practice being used in an organisation or a specific intervention and its components, rather than conducting an evaluation or examination of the effectiveness of the service, with only 11 including any empirical data. Of the included empirical studies, 45 were qualitative, 6 were quantitative, and 9 mixed methods studies. There were differences in the use of terminology and definitions of relational practice within and across sectors. Conclusion Although there may be implicit knowledge of what relational practice is the research field lacks coherent and comprehensive models. Despite definitional ambiguities, a number of benefits are attributed to relational practices. Systematic review registration PROSPERO CRD42021295958

Legionella growth in healthcare building water systems can result in legionellosis, making water management programs (WMPs) important for patient safety. However, knowledge is limited on Legionella prevalence in healthcare buildings. A dataset of quarterly water testing in Veterans Health Administration (VHA) healthcare buildings was used to examine national environmental Legionella prevalence from 2015 to 2018. Bayesian hierarchical logistic regression modeling assessed factors influencing Legionella positivity. The master dataset included 201,146 water samples from 814 buildings at 168 VHA campuses. Overall Legionella positivity over the 4 years decreased from 7.2 to 5.1%, with the odds of a Legionella-positive sample being 0.94 (0.90–0.97) times the odds of a positive sample in the previous quarter for the 16 quarters of the 4 year period. Positivity varied considerably more at the medical center campus level compared to regional levels or to the building level where controls are typically applied. We found higher odds of Legionella detection in older buildings (OR 0.92 [0.86–0.98] for each more recent decade of construction), in taller buildings (OR 1.20 [1.13–1.27] for each additional floor), in hot water samples (O.R. 1.21 [1.16–1.27]), and in samples with lower residual biocide concentrations. This comprehensive healthcare building review showed reduced Legionella detection in the VHA healthcare system over time. Insights into factors associated with Legionella positivity provide information for healthcare systems implementing WMPs and for organizations setting standards and regulations.

IntroductionPalliative care (PC) is an emerging concept in the Middle East, with Qatar lacking formalized home-based services until the 2021 Doha declaration. This qualitative study addresses a gap in the literature by exploring home healthcare service (HHCS) staff perceptions, attitudes, and challenges in delivering PC in Qatar’s home setting, aiming to inform service development and enhance end-of-life care accessibility.MethodsUsing Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 purposively sampled HHCS staff from various disciplines (e.g., physicians, nurses, pharmacists). Interviews, lasting approximately 30 min each, were audio-recorded via Microsoft Teams, transcribed, and analyzed with QualCoder software to identify codes, sub-themes, and major themes.ResultsFour key themes emerged: (1) patient-centered care and comfort, emphasizing pain-free management, quality of life, and respecting patient/family wishes; (2) challenges and barriers, including narcotic drug access, community acceptance, and cultural/religious considerations; (3) communication and supportive services, highlighting clear channels and psychosocial/spiritual support; and (4) training and resources, stressing staff education, emotional support, and policy revisions.DiscussionFindings reveal unique Qatar-specific obstacles, such as regulatory restrictions on narcotics and cultural norms affecting death at home, while offering opportunities to improve training, policies, and awareness. These insights are crucial for integrating culturally sensitive PC into home-based systems, potentially reducing hospital burdens and aligning with global aging trends.

Anniston, Alabama was home to a major polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) production facility from 1929 until 1971. The Anniston Community Health Survey I and II (ACHS-I 2005–2007, ACHS-II 2013–2014) were conducted to explore the effects of PCB exposures. In this report we examined associations between PCB exposure and DNA methylation in whole blood using EPIC arrays (ACHS-I, n = 518; ACHS-II, n = 299). For both cohorts, 35 PCBs were measured in serum. We modelled methylation versus PCB wet-weight concentrations for: the sum of 35 PCBs, mono-ortho substituted PCBs, di-ortho substituted PCBs, tri/tetra-ortho substituted PCBs, oestrogenic PCBs, and antiestrogenic PCBs. Using robust multivariable linear regression, we adjusted for age, race, sex, smoking, total lipids, and six blood cell-type percentages. We carried out a two-stage analysis; discovery in ACHS-I followed by replication in ACHS-II. In ACHS-I, we identified 28 associations (17 unique CpGs) at p ≤ 6.70E-08 and 369 associations (286 unique CpGs) at FDR p ≤ 5.00E-02. A large proportion of the genes have been observed to interact with PCBs or dioxins in model studies. Among the 28 genome-wide significant CpG/PCB associations, 14 displayed replicated directional effects in ACHS-II; however, only one in ACHS-II was statistically significant at p ≤ 1.70E-04. While we identified many novel CpGs significantly associated with PCB exposures in ACHS-I, the differential methylation was modest and the effect was attenuated seven years later in ACHS-II, suggesting a lack of persistence of the associations between PCB exposures and altered DNA methylation in blood cells.
