Top scientists and physicians from the ABC Science Collaborative outline how a more focused COVID-19 “test-to-stay” protocol can keep kids in school without overwhelming the system.

A survey of 2,638 Duke Health patients who had total replacement of knee, hip, or shoulder joints in 2014-20 found that approximately one-third experienced high-impact or bothersome chronic pain fo

The ABC Science Collaborative’s latest study published in Pediatrics includes data from 20 school districts during summer 2021, when the Delta variant became the dominant strain of SARS-CoV-2 in th

The trial, which was terminated early due to slow enrollment and low number of events, did not conclusively show whether different modes of a common treatment for prostate cancer were associated wi

Research conducted remotely presents a number of benefits to clinical research—along with unique challenges.

Despite a surge in community cases in winter 2020, within-school transmission remained low, with most transmission within high schools occurring in school-sponsored sports. New data analyzed and published by the DCRI-led ABC Science Collaborative sheds new light on school safety during a COVID-19 surge and reinforces the message that masking is an effective strategy to mitigate within-school transmission.

DCRI Executive Director Adrian Hernandez, MD, MHS, and co-authors recently published a commentary in the New England Journal of Medicine advocating for new ways to incentivize health care systems t

Top scientists and physicians from the ABC Science Collaborative have shared insights from North Carolina schools, coupled with a science-based blueprint for all schools to resume full, in-person instruction safely. A new report issued today by the DCRI-led ABC Science Collaborative shows that North Carolina schools were highly successful in preventing the transmission of COVID-19 within school buildings and offers science-based learnings for the nation’s schools to limit COVID-19 spread.

A large pragmatic study in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) found that antimicrobial therapy did not have a statistically significant effect on respiratory hospitalization or death compared with usual care alone.

The late-breaking clinical trial found no difference between the intervention group and the control group when examining an audit and feedback initiative that was hypothesized to improve heart failure care. An effort to improve the quality of heart failure care focused on audit and feedback did not significantly improve either the outcomes of patients with heart failure or the quality of care they received, according to late-breaking clinical trial results presented today at the American College of Cardiology’s 70th annual Scientific Session & Expo.
