"Preliminary Evaluation of a Novel Point of Care Diagnostic Device for Sports-Related Concussion," Yueming Wu 1 2, Erin L Abner 2, Caitlin Conley 3, M Kyle Smoot 3, Robert Hosey 3, Kim Kaiser 3, Mark A Lovell 1 2
Abstract: Visinin-like protein 1 (VILIP-1) is a neuron-specific calcium sensor protein rapidly released into blood after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and may be a suitable biomarker for identification of sports-related concussion (SRC). The objective of the study is to test if quantification of a specific post-translationally modified (ubiquitinated) form of VILIP-1 (ubVILIP-1) from a fingerstick blood sample using a point of care (POC) lateral flow device (LFD) can be used to rapidly identify athletes with SRC.
"Trends in ICD-10-CM-Coded Administrative Datasets for Injury Surveillance and Research," Julia F Costich 1, Dana B Quesinberry 1, Lara K Daniels 1, Ashley Bush 1
Abstract: Accurate injury surveillance depends on data quality in administrative datasets created for billing and reimbursement. Significant effort has been devoted to testing the ability of candidate injury case definitions to identify injury cases accurately in these datasets. We used interviews with experienced coders, informed by a review of the current literature, to identify three clinical coding trends that may affect the consistency of surveillance data: "clinical documentation improvement or clinical documentation integrity" (CDI), coding by treating clinicians, and certain electronic health record features.
"Association of Sex and Race With Incident Peripheral Artery Disease Among Veterans With Normal Ankle-Brachial Indices," Meredith Duncan (BST) is second author.
Abstract: Reported risk of incident peripheral artery disease (PAD) by sex and race varies significantly and has not been reported in national cohorts among individuals free of baseline PAD. To evaluate the association of sex and race, as well as prevalent cardiovascular risk factors, with limb outcomes in a national cohort of people with normal baseline ankle-brachial indices (ABIs).
"Neighborhood distribution of availability of newer tobacco products: A US four-site study, 2021," Susan Westneat (EEH) is a co-author.
Abstract: Audits of tobacco retailers can identify marketing patterns as newer tobacco products are introduced in the US. Our study examined store and neighborhood correlates of availability of nicotine pouches and disposable e-cigarettes in four US sites.
