Purpose: Sexual health is a highly prevalent concern after breast cancer treatment; however, it remains largely unaddressed. This study evaluates the sexual health concerns of breast cancer survivors, experiences seeking information and treatment for sexual health concerns after cancer diagnosis, and the role of social media.
Methods: The Women's Insight in Sexual Health after Breast Cancer (WISH-BREAST) study was an online, anonymous survey-based analysis of breast cancer survivors' experience with sexual health concerns.
Background: Neighborhood advantage/disadvantage is a social determinant of health. We aimed to examine the distribution and associations between child chronic health conditions and four commonly used indices.
Methods: Children with outpatient visits and valid addresses (n = 115,738) were included and outcomes were categorized as having no chronic disease (N-CD), non-complex chronic disease (NC-CD), and complex chronic disease (C-CD).
Objective: To evaluate pregnancy outcomes and breastfeeding (BF) practices for female surgeons and identify modifiable factors improve outcomes.
Methods: A survey was distributed to practicing surgeons, including general surgery, urology, otolaryngology, orthopedics, general surgery, plastic surgery, vascular surgery, and other surgical specialties. Survey questions regarding demographics, career stage, maternity leave, pregnancy/delivery, perinatal complications, BF goals, and barriers to meeting those goals were asked.

Objective: To describe and identify factors associated with mental health (MH) readmission rates for youth ages 5 to 17 years discharged between January 2019 and November 2019.
Method: This retrospective, cross-sectional analysis using the 2019 Nationwide Readmissions Database identified hospitalizations for patients with a primary diagnosis of an MH condition using the Clinical Classification Software groupings, which are based on codes. Various patient characteristics including comorbidities were included in univariate and multivariate analysis to study their association with psychiatric readmission.
Childhood health disparities by race have been found. Neighborhood disadvantage, which may result from racism, may impact outcomes. The aim of the study is to describe the distribution of mental health (MH) and developmental disabilities (DD) diagnosis across Child Opportunity Index (COI) levels by race/ethnicity.

We aimed to assess the polysomnographic (PSG) outcomes of revision adenoidectomy in children with recurrent/residual adenoidal hypertrophy and OSA.
Methods: This was a single-center retrospective study that included children with sleep studies that confirmed OSA and known history of adenotonsillectomy who were diagnosed with adenoidal hypertrophy and subsequently underwent revision adenoidectomy.
Objective: To describe network structure and alignment across organizations in healthcare, public health, and social services sectors that serve pregnant and parenting women with substance use disorder (SUD) in an urban and a rural community.
Data Sources And Study Settings: Two community networks, one urban and one rural with each including a residential substance use treatment program, in Kentucky during 2021.
Study Design: Social network analysis measured system collaboration and cross-sector alignment between healthcare, public health, and social services organizations, applying the Framework for Aligning Sectors.
Background: Endotracheal intubation is a common procedure associated with adverse events, including severe desaturation. Many patients receive noninvasive respiratory support to reduce the need for intubation. There are minimal data about the association between noninvasive respiratory support and the risk of a severe desaturation event during intubation.

Methods: This was a single-center retrospective study that included children with sleep study-confirmed OSA and a known history of adenotonsillectomy who underwent STN-XR to evaluate for recurrent/residual adenoid tissue hypertrophy.
Objective: Kentucky ranks among the highest in the nation for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) prevalence in children aged 4 to 17 years. In 2011, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) released a clinical practice guideline based on the DSM-IV. A guideline revision based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fifth Edition (DSM-5) was released in October 2019.

Background: The factors influencing parents' willingness to enroll their children in biobanks are poorly understood. This study sought to assess parents' willingness to enroll their children, and their perceived benefits, concerns, and information needs under different consent and data-sharing scenarios, and to identify factors associated with willingness.
Methods: This large, experimental survey of patients at the 11 eMERGE Network sites used a disproportionate stratified sampling scheme to enrich the sample with historically underrepresented groups.
