Article Abstract

The twin pandemics of COVID-19 and structural racism brought into focus health disparities and disproportionate impacts of disease on communities of color. Health equity has subsequently emerged as a priority. Recognizing that the future of health care will be informed by advanced information technologies including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and algorithmic applications, the authors argue that to advance towards states of improved health equity, health information professionals need to engage in and encourage the conduct of research at the intersections of health equity, health disparities, and computational biomedical knowledge (CBK) applications. Recommendations are provided with a means to engage in this mobilization effort.

Background: Disparities in posttransplant outcomes persist and worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic, disproportionately affecting individuals with social risk factors. This study examined the total and residual (ie, direct) associations between individual- and neighborhood-level income and posttransplant outcomes among deceased donor kidney transplant (DDKT) and living donor kidney transplant recipients transplanted in the United States in 2020.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study linked Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network data with estimated individual annual income from LexisNexis and neighborhood median annual household income from the American Community Survey.

Health disparities in neurology.

Department of Neurology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, USA.

Health disparities are preventable differences in health between different populations, and they are endemic throughout medicine owing to social, economic and environmental disadvantages. Neurology is no exception, and health disparities for systematically marginalized groups are present in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and outcomes of all neurological disorders. The aetiology of these disparities is complex and multifactorial, reflecting the interplay of structural, institutional and individual-level factors.

The global rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a profound threat to human, animal and environmental health. Although antimicrobials have revolutionized modern medicine, their overuse and misuse have accelerated AMR, necessitating urgent, multisectoral action. Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS), a set of coordinated strategies that promote responsible antimicrobial use, has emerged as a key intervention in managing AMR.
