Epidemiology of Pediatric Critical Illness in a Population-Based Birth Cohort in Olmsted County, MN.

ABSTRACT: Investigations of pediatric critical illness typically focus on inpatient cohorts drawn from wide referral areas and diverse healthcare systems. Cohorts amenable to investigating the full spectrum of critical illness as it develops within a community have yet to be studied in the United States. Our objective was to provide the first epidemiologic report of the incidence and presentation of pediatric critical illness within a U.S. population-based birth cohort.Retrospective cohort study.A geographically defined community (Olmsted, MN) with medical record linkage across all health systems. All ICU services are provided within a single children's hospital.A birth cohort of children (n =9,441) born 2003-2007 in Olmsted County, MN.During the study period, there were a total of 15,277 ICU admissions to Mayo Clinic Children's Hospital. A total of 577 birth cohort children accounted for 824 of these admissions during the 61,770 person-years of follow-up accumulated. Incidence of first-time ICU admission was 9.3 admits per 1,000 person-years. Admission rates were highest in the first year of life and then declined steadily. Respiratory problems were among the most common reasons for admission at any age and diagnoses reflect changes in health risk factors as children grow and develop over time. After 1 year old, a majority of children admitted have preexisting chronic comorbidities and/or prior ICU stays. In-hospital mortality occurred exclusively in children admitted prior to 5 days of age (n = 4). Seven children died after hospital discharge.This is the first report characterizing critical illness within a population-based birth cohort of U.S. children. The results demonstrate the changing incidence, presentation, and healthcare requirements associated with critical illness across the developmental spectrum as a population of children ages.

Project description:BackgroundAdrenal tumours are commonly encountered in clinical practice, but epidemiological data mainly originate from referral centres. We aimed to determine incidence, prevalence, and rates of malignancy and hormone excess in patients with adrenal tumours in a standardised geographically well defined population.MethodsIn this retrospective population-based cohort study we assessed the standardised incidence rate of adrenal tumours in all patients with tumours who lived in Olmsted County, MN, USA, from Jan 1, 1995, to Dec 31, 2017. The Rochester Epidemiology Project infrastructure, which links medical records across all health-care providers for the entire population of Olmsted County since 1966, was used to allow researchers to identify individuals with specific diagnoses, surgical interventions, and other procedures, and to locate their medical records, which were then used in the analysis. Incidence rates and prevalence were standardised for age and sex according to the 2010 US Population.FindingsAn adrenal tumour was diagnosed in 1287 patients (median age 62 years; 713 (55·4%) were women; and 13 (1·0%) were children). Standardised incidence rates increased from 4·4 (95% CI 0·3-8·6) per 100 000 person-years in 1995 to 47·8 (36·9-58·7) in 2017, mainly because of the incidental discovery of adenomas less than 40 mm in diameter in patients older than 40 years. Prevalence of adrenal tumours in 2017 was 532 per 100 000 inhabitants, ranging from 13 per 100 000 in children (aged <18 years) to 1900 per 100 000 in patients older than 65 years. 111 (8·6%) of 1287 patients were diagnosed with malignancy (96 [7·5%] of whom has metastases), 14 (1·1%) with phaeochromocytoma, and 53 (4·1%) with overt steroid hormone excess. Malignancy was more common in children (62%) versus those older than 18 years (8%; p<0·0001), tumours discovered during cancer-staging or follow-up (43% vs 3% for incidentalomas; p<0·0001), tumours more than 40 mm in diameter (34% vs 6% for tumours <20 mm; p<0·0001), tumours with unenhanced CT attenuation of 30 Hounsfield units or more (20% vs 1% for <20 Hounsfield units; p<·0001), and bilateral masses (16% vs 7% for unilateral, p=0·0004).InterpretationAdrenal tumour standardised incidence rates increased 10 times from 1995 to 2017. Population-based data revealed lower rates of malignancy, phaeochromocytoma, and overt steroid hormone excess than previously reported.FundingNational Institutes of Health.

Project description:PurposeThe Olmsted County hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) cohort is a population-based retrospective study designed to compare the incidence of HDP on a per-pregnancy and per-woman basis and to identify associations between HDP with ageing-related diseases, as well as accumulation of multimorbidity.ParticipantsUsing the Rochester Epidemiology Project (REP) medical records-linkage system, a cohort was collected consisting of women who gave birth in Olmsted County between 1976 and 1982. After exclusions, a per-pregnancy cohort of 7544 women with 9862 pregnancies between 1976 and 1982 was identified, and their delivery information was manually reviewed. A subset of these women comprised the per-woman cohort of 4322 pregnancies from 1839 women with delivery information available throughout the entirety of their childbearing years, along with decades of follow-up data available for research via the REP.Findings to dateBy constructing both per-pregnancy and per-woman cohorts, we reported a doubling of HDP incidence rates when assessed on a per-woman basis compared with rates observed on a per-pregnancy basis. Moreover, in addition to finding that women with a history of HDP developed specific diseases at higher rates and at early ages, we also discovered that a history of HDP is associated with accelerated ageing, through accumulation of multimorbidity.Future plansIn addition to these outcomes described above, many other potential outcomes of interest for studies of HDP can be ascertained from accessing the electronic health records (EHR) and billing systems available through the REP. These data can include all International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-9 and ICD-10 and Current Procedural Terminology coded diagnoses and procedures, healthcare utilisation, including office visits, hospitalisations and emergency room visits, and full text of the EHR that is available for chart abstraction or for natural language processing of the clinical notes.

Project description:BackgroundTarsal coalitions are an important reason for foot pain in children. Early estimates placed the prevalence at up to 2%, while more recent data suggest that it is as high as 11% to 13%. To our knowledge, there have been no population-based studies to determine the true incidence of symptomatic tarsal coalitions in a pediatric population.MethodsA population-based database was used to identify all new diagnoses of symptomatic tarsal coalitions in children 18 years old or younger between 1966 and 2018. Patient records were reviewed for clinical data, and comparisons were made between the types and characteristics of the coalitions identified to determine differences in the affected populations. The annual age-specific, sex-specific, and type-specific incidence rates were estimated.ResultsDuring the study period, 58 patients with a total of 79 symptomatic tarsal coalitions were identified (annual incidence = 3.5 per 100,000 children). There were 43 calcaneonavicular (CN) coalitions (annual incidence = 1.9 per 100,000 children), 27 talocalcaneal (TC) coalitions (annual incidence = 1.2 per 100,000 children), as well as 9 other coalitions (7 talonavicular, 1 naviculocuboid, and 1 naviculocuneiform) (annual incidence = 0.4 per 100,000 children). The overall incidence peaked between the ages of 10 and 14 years for both boys and girls (8.1 per 100,000 and 7.4 per 100,000 children, respectively). Statistical differences were identified between the types of tarsal coalitions. TC coalitions present at an older age relative to CN and other coalitions (mean,13.9, 12.7, and 11.4 years, respectively; p = 0.02). While CN and TC coalitions were similar in composition (23% and 30%, respectively, were osseous as opposed to fibrocartilaginous), other coalitions were more likely to be osseous (78%) (p = 0.0035). Other coalitions were also less likely to require surgery than CN and TC coalitions (11%, 74%, and 56%, respectively; p = 0.0015).ConclusionsThis population-based study demonstrates differences in the clinical presentation of tarsal coalitions and provides an estimate of the true incidence of symptomatic tarsal coalitions in a pediatric population.

Project description:Background & aimsIsolated autosomal-dominant polycystic liver disease (ADPLD) is generally considered a rare disease. However, the frequency of truncating mutations to ADPLD genes in large, population sequencing databases is 1:496. With the increasing use of abdominal imaging, incidental detection of hepatic cysts and ADPLD has become more frequent. The present study was performed to ascertain the incidence and point prevalence of ADPLD in Olmsted County, MN, USA, and how these are impacted by the increasing utilisation of abdominal imaging.MethodsThe Rochester Epidemiology Project and radiology databases of Mayo Clinic and Olmsted Medical Center were searched to identify all subjects meeting diagnostic criteria for definite, likely, or possible ADPLD. Annual incidence rates were calculated using incident cases during 1980-2016 as numerator, and age- and sex-specific estimates of the population of Olmsted County as denominator. Point prevalence was calculated using prevalence cases as numerator, and age- and sex-specific estimates of the population of Olmsted County on 1 January 2010 as denominator.ResultsThe incidence rate and point prevalence of combined definite and likely ADPLD were 1.01 per 100,000 person-years and 9.5 per 100,000 population, respectively. Only 15 of 35 definite and likely incident ADPLD cases had received a diagnostic code, and only 8 had clinically significant hepatomegaly. The incidence rates were much higher when adding possible cases, mainly identified through radiology databases, particularly in recent years and in older patients because of the increased utilisation of imaging studies.ConclusionsClinically significant isolated ADPLD is a rare disease with a prevalence <1:10,000 population. The overall prevalence of ADPLD, however, to a large extent not clinically significant, is likely much higher and closer to the reported genetic prevalence.Lay summaryIsolated autosomal-dominant polycystic liver disease (ADPLD) is generally considered a rare disease. However, we demonstrate that it is a relatively common disease, which is rarely (<1:10,000 population) clinically significant.
