Moving beyond mistrust: Centering institutional change by decentering the white analytical lens

Alyssa M. Newman

Summary: This article explores the discourse and debates surrounding medical mistrust, highlighting the limitations of focusing solely on historically exploited populations and overlooking the accountability of medical institutions. The shift towards examining institution trustworthiness is seen as narrowing the issue to specific communities, rather than addressing systemic issues within medical institutions and the healthcare system. The article suggests moving beyond the mistrust framework and white normativity to conduct a holistic analysis necessary for addressing racial health disparities.

Increased risk for COVID-19 breakthrough infection in fully vaccinated patients with substance use disorders in the United States between December 2020 and August 2021

Lindsey Wang et al.

Summary: The study found that individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs) have a significantly higher risk of breakthrough COVID-19 infection after vaccination compared to those without SUDs, particularly for patients with cocaine and cannabis use disorders. When controlling for lifetime comorbidities and adverse socioeconomic determinants of health, the risk for breakthrough infection in SUD patients is no longer significantly different from non-SUD individuals, except for those with cannabis use disorder who remain at increased risk.

Persons from racial and ethnic minority groups receiving medication for opioid use disorder experienced increased difficulty accessing harm reduction services during COVID-19

Robert Rosales et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated health disparities experienced by individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) from racial and ethnic minority groups, potentially due to disrupted access to harm reduction services. Research findings suggest that persons with OUD who self-identify as from racial/ethnic minority groups are more likely to experience disruptions in accessing harm reduction services, specifically in obtaining naloxone and sterile syringes, even after controlling for confounding variables. This highlights the need for targeted outreach strategies and policies to promote equitable access to essential harm reduction services.

Neighborhood disparities in COVID-19 outcomes in New York city over the first two waves of the outbreak

Xiaobo Zhong et al.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the association between neighborhood demographic and socioeconomic characteristics and COVID-19 incidence and mortality in New York City (NYC) during the first two waves of the outbreak. The results showed that neighborhoods severely impacted in the first wave were also more affected in the second wave. Higher percentages of seniors, males, Black and Hispanic populations, and large-size households were associated with higher incidence rates of COVID-19 in the first wave but not in the second wave. Neighborhoods with higher percentages of Black and Hispanic populations and lower insurance coverage had higher death rates and case fatality ratios in the first wave, and neighborhoods with higher percentages of Black and Asian populations had an elevated case fatality ratio in the second wave. Median household income was negatively associated with incidence rate and death rate per capita but not associated with case fatality ratio in both waves. Neighborhoods with more seniors had higher death rates and case fatality ratios in both waves.

Risk factors for COVID-19 among persons with substance use disorder (PWSUD) with hospital visits - United States, April 2020-December 2020

Amy R. Board et al.

Summary: This study identified risk factors associated with COVID-19 among persons with substance use disorder. It found that age, sex, race/ethnicity, geographic region, insurance type, comorbidities, and type of substance use disorder (SUD) were associated with COVID-19 diagnosis among this population. The study also highlighted the importance of integrating COVID-related care, care for other comorbidities, and SUD treatment for persons with substance use disorder.

Using a structural vulnerability framework to understand the impact of COVID-19 on the lives of Medicaid beneficiaries receiving substance use treatment in New York City

Jenny Zhen-Duan et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on low-income individuals with substance use disorder (SUD) in New York City. The findings suggest that COVID-19 exacerbated structural vulnerabilities among this population, but programmatic adaptations to SUD care during the pandemic helped mitigate past difficulties.

Comparison of Substance Use Disorder Diagnosis Rates From Electronic Health Record Data With Substance Use Disorder Prevalence Rates Reported in Surveys Across Sociodemographic Groups in the Veterans Health Administration

Emily C. Williams et al.

Summary: This survey study suggests that existing diagnostic procedures and tools are insufficient to capture SUD prevalence rates, particularly among younger patients and Hispanic and Latinx patients. Clinics and health systems should implement standardized SUD assessments to ensure the provision of equitable care and the optimal identification of underlying conditions for performance monitoring.

Disease-Specific Factors Associated with Readmissions or Mortality After Hospital Discharge in COVID-19 Patients: a Retrospective Cohort Study

Cheng-Wei Huang et al.

Summary: In a retrospective cohort study of COVID-19 patients, factors such as age, Elixhauser index, treatment with remdesivir, and symptom duration at discharge were found to be associated with adverse events post-discharge. Treatment with remdesivir was inversely associated with adverse events, while symptom duration <= 10 days was positively associated. There was a significant interaction between remdesivir and symptom duration, indicating their combined impact on clinical decision making at discharge.

Missing Data in Clinical Research: A Tutorial on Multiple Imputation

Peter C. Austin et al.

Summary: Missing data is common in clinical research, with approaches like complete-case analysis, mean-value imputation, and multiple imputation used to address it. Multiple imputation is a popular method where multiple plausible values are imputed for each subject with missing data, resulting in multiple completed data sets for statistical analysis.

Derivation of a Clinical Risk Score to Predict 14-Day Occurrence of Hypoxia, ICU Admission, and Death Among Patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019

David M. Levine et al.

Summary: This study aimed to develop a risk score to predict suitability for discharge from a monitored setting among early COVID-19 patients. The risk score, based on age, oxygen saturation, and albumin level, showed a sensitivity of 83% and specificity of 82% at a cut point of 30. The score's c-statistic was 0.8939 for the derivation cohort and 0.8685 for the validation cohort, indicating its predictive performance.

Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Rates of COVID-19-Associated Hospitalization, Intensive Care Unit Admission, and In-Hospital Death in the United States From March 2020 to February 2021

Anna M. Acosta et al.

Summary: The study found that American Indian or Alaska Native, Latino, Black, and Asian or Pacific Islander individuals in the US were more likely than White individuals to experience COVID-19-associated hospitalization, ICU admission, or in-hospital death. Equitable access to COVID-19 preventive measures, including vaccination, is necessary to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in severe COVID-19.

Variation in COVID-19 Mortality in the US by Race and Ethnicity and Educational Attainment

Justin M. Feldman et al.

Summary: Racial and ethnic inequities in COVID-19 mortality exist in the US, with significant disparities based on race, ethnicity, and educational attainment. If all groups had experienced the same mortality rates as college-educated non-Hispanic White individuals, there would have been a 48% reduction in COVID-19 deaths among adults aged 25 years or older.

Mental disorders and risk of COVID-19-related mortality, hospitalisation, and intensive care unit admission: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Benedetta Vai et al.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis found that pre-existing mental disorders, specifically psychotic and mood disorders, and exposure to antipsychotics and anxiolytics were associated with an increased risk of COVID-19 mortality. The study highlighted the need for targeted approaches to manage and prevent COVID-19 in at-risk patient groups identified in this study. Further research is needed to determine the underlying mechanisms of these associations.
