الوصف: Background: Although effective antihypertensive medications have existed for decades, only about half of the hypertensive individuals are considered to have controlled blood pressure. Limited research studies have investigated gender disparity in the utilization and effectiveness of antihypertensive medications treatment. To examine the gender difference in antihypertensive medications’ use and the effect of using antihypertensive medication treatment on blood pressure control among the U.S. adult with hypertension. Methods: Analysis of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from (1999-2012) including individuals≥18 years old with hypertension. Study variables included gender, age, race/ethnicity, obesity, smoking, comorbidities, treatment medication type, and continuity of care. We used multivariate logistic regression in STATA V14. The data is presented as adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: Of the 15719 participants, 52% were female. 49% of the antihypertensive medication users had their blood pressure under control (95% CI). In the adjusted logistic regression analysis, use of antihypertensive medications was found to be 12% greater in females as compared to males (OR=1.12; CI=1.02-1.22; P

الوصف: OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Asthma is a life-long, chronic lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways. Its effects on quality of life in children can be exacerbated. The goal of this study was to investigate the link between asthma, family structure and demographics and how it impacts quality of life in children. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We analyzed data from a cross sectional study of the 2016-2017 National Survey of Children’s Health, NSCH, to assess the relationship between determinants of health variables and the outcome variable of parent’s report of child’s perceived health status (quality of life). The study population was children under the age of 18. Data were analyzed using descriptive, bivariate analysis using Chi square, and multiple logistic regression of quality of life and family structure adjusting for confounding variables. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The study included 5,687 children. Significant predictors of asthmatic children’s quality of life were severity of asthma, self-perceived mental/physical health status of adults, neighborhood safety for children (p

الوصف: OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Diabetes is a prevalent chronic illness that imposes health-related burdens including nephropathy, retinopathy and sleep disorders. The goal of this study was to examine the relation between both sleep disorders and sleep duration and diabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD) and retinopathy. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2016 related to diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy, sleep disorders and duration, demographics, and risk factors among diabetics. The subjects were adults with diabetes type 2. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to look at the relationship between diabetic complications (CKD and retinopathy) and sleep disorders and sleep duration adjusting for demographics and risk factors. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Of the 4087 diabetics, 45% had CKD, 19% had retinopathy, and 15% had sleep disorders. CKD and retinopathy were not associated with sleep disorders (p>0.05) but CKD was associated with sleep duration (Adjusted odds ration = 1.014, 95% confidence interval = 1.001-1.027, p60 years, Non-Hispanic Black, hypertension, low education level, and living under 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (P

الوصف: OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: The aim of the study is to examine the relation between dental fluorosis, serum and water levels of fluoride and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) among children. A link between dental fluorosis, fluoride level and CKD can be an indicator of the blind danger of fluoride toxicity that poses a great threat to the human health. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Dental fluorosis, serum and water levels of fluoride and CKD were examined in children 6-19 years old, using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey1999-2012 and 2013-2016. We used multiple logistic regression to adjust for the confounders (demographics, insurance, dental visit, and co-morbidity) to assess the relation between dental fluorosis, serum and water levels of fluoride and CKD. STATA 14.0 was used to analyze the data (sample design and weight). P < 0.05 is statistically significant. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The prevalence of CKD was 13.9% and dental fluorosis was 34.3%. In the multivariate model, plasma fluoride level was independently associated with CKD (Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) = 1.68, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) = 1.06-2.68, p = 0.029) but not with dental fluorosis (AOR = 1.4, 95% CI = 0.87-2.2, p = 0.17) or water fluoride level (AOR = 0.91, 95% CI = 0.59-1.396, p = 0.659). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Results indicated that serum fluoride level is independently associated with CKD but dental fluorosis and water fluoride level were not related to CKD. Increase awareness and screening for fluorosis in children are needed for early detection and prevention of organ damage. Prospective studies related to fluorosis and tissue damage are needed.

الوصف: Self-inflicted harm (SIH) has a substantial lifetime prevalence, it is associated with tremendous costs, and its rate is increasing on a national scale. To examine the characteristics of those admitted for SIH in the US and to investigate the factors that potentially modify the methods used for SIH. This was a retrospective analysis of admitted cases of SIH including suicide attempts between 2007 and 2012 using the National Trauma Data Bank. We included a total of 204,633 cases admitted for SIH. Our participants were 75.1% males. Those aged 15–24 (21%), 25–34 (22%), 35–44 (19%), 45–54 (19%), and 55–64 (10%) years comprised the largest age groups among our cases—70.8%, 11.5%, 11.1%, and 6.6% were, respectively, Caucasians, Hispanics, Blacks, and Asian/Others. Analyses of the SIH methods revealed that Blacks were less likely to self-poison [Odds Ratio (OR): 0.78] compared to Whites, whereas individuals with psychiatric disorders or substance abuse carried 2.5 and 2.0-fold higher risk, respectively. Blacks were also less likely to use anoxic methods (OR: 0.69), whereas patients with psychiatric disorders or substance abuse carried 1.5-fold higher risk. Being Black, Hispanic, and Asian (OR: 0.58, 0.55, and 0.55, respectively) as well as having psychiatric disorders (OR: 0.80) were associated with lower risks of using firearms, whereas its risk was increased with increasing age. Blacks (OR: 0.77) were less likely to cut or pierce in contrast to Hispanics (OR: 1.4), Asians/Others (OR: 1.29), and those with psychiatric disorders (2.5-fold higher risk) or drug abuse (2-fold higher risk). Blacks (OR: 1.11), Hispanics (OR: 1.13), and Asians/Others (OR: 1.57) were more likely to jump from high places, whereas those with substance abuse were less likely (OR: 0.77). Among patients admitted for SIH, males, those aged 15–64 years, and Whites comprised the largest sex, age, and racial/ethnic groups, respectively. We also found that several factors including race/ethnicity, gender, age, and having concurrent psychiatric or drug ...

الوصف: There is high HIV prevalence and low rates of viral suppression for men who have sex with men (MSM) in South Africa, with few MSM-centered interventions to address these outcomes along the HIV treatment cascade. Participatory interventions may support community building among HIV-positive MSM through which they can share approaches of self-advocacy that are contextually grounded. We conducted a pilot study to assess the use of role-plays in influencing social isolation while also updating our understanding of MSM healthcare experiences in Mpumalanga, South Africa. The study was conducted with 21 MSM leaders who were HIV-positive. There were three groups of seven participants each who created and performed role-plays based on their healthcare experiences, with a focus group discussion (FGD) conducted afterward. Audio-recordings were transcribed, translated, and analyzed using a constant comparison approach. We found that MSM described role-play as cathartic and a future HIV care educational tool for other MSM, and that they outlined points of self-advocacy during HIV care in clinics. Our study suggests that future research should utilize role-play so to integrate contextual factors influencing HIV treatment, especially in high HIV prevalence settings.
