Background: There is no consensus for using statins for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), because no randomized controlled trial has exclusively investigated statins in this population.
Objectives: In this study, the authors sought to evaluate the long-term risks and benefits of statins for primary prevention in adults with T1DM.
Methods: We performed a sequential target trial emulation comparing statin initiation vs noninitiation using UK primary care data from the IQVIA Medical Research Data database.

Background: Managing bronchiectasis exacerbations is a priority for patients/parents/caregivers of children with bronchiectasis, yet evidence-based strategies among the pediatric population remain limited.
Research Question: Does the use of a personalized, written bronchiectasis action management plan (BAMP), compared to standard care, reduce non-scheduled doctor visits among children/adolescents with chronic suppurative lung disease (CSLD)/bronchiectasis?
Study Design And Methods: Our multicenter, double-blind, superiority, randomized controlled trial enrolled children from three Australian respiratory departments between June 2018 and December 2020. Children/adolescents aged <19 years with CSLD/bronchiectasis were randomized to receive a personalized BAMP (intervention) or standard care (controls).

Background: Chronically ill are advised to receive annual vaccinations against Covid-19 and seasonal influenza. Furthermore, chronically ill show an increased prevalence of comorbid common mental disorders (CMDs), like depression, anxiety, and somatoform disorders. With vaccination rates remaining insufficient among these vulnerable patients, prior research assumes an association between CMDs and vaccination readiness.

Purpose: Expanding high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine coverage in resource-constrained settings is critical to bridging the cervical cancer gap and achieving the global action plan for elimination. Mobile health (mHealth) technology via short message services (SMS) has the potential to improve HPV vaccination uptake. The mHealth-HPVac study evaluated the effectiveness of mHealth interventions in increasing HPV vaccine uptake among mothers of unvaccinated girls aged 9-14 years in Lagos, Nigeria.

As family communication is significantly related to individuals' health decision-making, it is crucial to tap into the power of this relationship for public health initiatives. The COVID-19 pandemic provided a ripe context in which to explore whether vaccination messaging could be tailored in such a way as to target specific family communication climates to encourage vaccine promotion among family members. Specifically, our study ( = 1,276) designed pro-vaccination messaging tailored based on two types of family communication styles.
