XIS: A daily spatiotemporal machine-learning model for environmental exposures in the contiguous United States Open
These Parquet files contain the outputs used for many analyses and plots in the linked papers. For temperature and humidity, the full sets of observations for cross-validation aren't included because we used restricted-use MADIS data. Note…
Inclusion of Older Adults in Consumer-Directed Heat Safety Materials: A Content Analysis of U.S. State Websites Open
The increasing frequency and duration of extreme heat events places our growing older adult population at heightened risk for adverse, heat-related outcomes. While states provide the public with important heat safety messaging through webs…

Associations of Early Life Ambient PM <sub>2.5</sub> Exposure With Asthma Risk in a Cohort of Preterm Infants With Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia Open
Objective To examine whether exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) during the first year after neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) discharge is associated with asthma by age 5 among infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Me…

Air pollution, temperature, and HbA1c levels among children in Mexico City, Mexico Open
Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), a strong indicator of diabetes, is affected by air pollution and temperature exposures. However, studies examining the association between HbA1c, temperature, fine particulate matter (PM2.5), and nitrogen dioxi…

The association between long-term exposure to PM2.5 constituents and diabetes incidence and blood glucose levels among World Trade Center Health Program general responders Open
Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is associated with cardiometabolic risk among World Trade Center Health Program general responders, but current studies focus mainly on PM2.5 mass. We studied the associations between annual sour…

Tree canopy cover and injurious pedestrian falls: a location-based case-control study Open
Despite about half a million injurious pedestrian falls occurring annually in the United States, prevention of pedestrian falls is under studied. Sidewalk damage from street trees is a known risk for falls; however, tree canopy cover might…
Feasibility and Safety of Liberal Fluid Fasting in an Orthogeriatric Department: A Prospective Before-and-After Cohort Study Open
Background: The rationale for strict fluid fasting for pediatric and adult patients has been questioned recently. Point-of-care tools for the evaluation of gastric content have evolved over time, often using gastric ultrasound. Usually, th…

Newborn mitochondrial DNA copy number is associated with changes to DNA methylation that persist into childhood and are associated with cognitive development Open
In newborns, mtDNA-CN was associated with DNAm in mitochondria-related genes and throughout the genome, several of which remained associated in childhood, were associated with child memory scales, and were replicated in a US-based cohort. …
View article: Exposure to daily mean and maximum 1-hour PM2.5 concentrations and pediatric respiratory mortality in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area
Exposure to daily mean and maximum 1-hour PM2.5 concentrations and pediatric respiratory mortality in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area Open
Background: Few studies have evaluated the association between short-term PM 2.5 exposure and children’s respiratory mortality. This study examines the relationship between daily mean and maximum 1-hour PM 2.5 exposures and age-specific pe…
View article: Disparities in the association of ambient air pollution with childhood asthma incidence in the ECHO consortium: A US-wide multi-cohort study
Disparities in the association of ambient air pollution with childhood asthma incidence in the ECHO consortium: A US-wide multi-cohort study Open
Background: Characterization of US sociodemographic disparities in air pollution respiratory effects has often been limited by lack of participant diversity, geography, exposure characterization, and small sample size. Methods: We included…
View article: Temperature Exposure and Acute Cardiovascular Disease Risk in New York City: Case Time Series
Temperature Exposure and Acute Cardiovascular Disease Risk in New York City: Case Time Series Open
Background Numerous studies investigated the associations between myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke, and temperature exposure, but the results vary widely, particularly in dense metropolitan areas. Methods We included all patient…
View article: World Trade Center (WTC) Exposures and Cardiometabolic Risk Among WTC Health Program General Responders
World Trade Center (WTC) Exposures and Cardiometabolic Risk Among WTC Health Program General Responders Open
Objectives. To assess the association between World Trade Center (WTC) exposures, cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs), and trajectories of glucose and systolic blood pressure (SBP) among WTC Health Program general responders (WTHPGR). Methods.…

Impact of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection on perioperative cardiac, pulmonary and neurocognitive complications in older patients: Study protocol for an observative case control study Open
Background Postoperative delirium is considered a serious complication in older patients. Older patients often suffer from several concomitant diseases. The reduced physical condition can increase the risk of cardiac, pulmonary and neuroco…
Summertime temperatures, social disadvantage, and energy rationing: Patterns of energy insecurity from population-level historical electricity data in New York State Open
Rising temperatures and energy costs have intensified energy insecurity among vulnerable populations. This study examines patterns of energy insecurity and rationing in New York State using aggregated historical electricity data (2016–2020…
XIS-PM2.5: A daily spatiotemporal machine-learning model for PM2.5 in the contiguous United States Open
Air-pollution monitoring is sparse across most of the United States, so geostatistical models are important for reconstructing concentrations of fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5) for use in health studies. We present XGBoost-IDW Synth…

Windows of Susceptibility to Air Pollution During and Surrounding Pregnancy in Relation to Longitudinal Maternal Measures of Adiposity and Lipid Profiles Open
Pregnancy is a critical window for long-term metabolic programming of fetal effects stemming from airborne particulate matter ≤2.5μm (PM 2.5 ) exposure. Yet, little is known about long-term metabolic effects of PM 2.5 exposure during and s…
