Methodological issues (e.g., ignoring missing data, irrelevant outcomes, flawed subgroup analyses) often limit the value of health research. One reason is that health researchers cannot easily find relevant methods guidance. To improve the findability of methods guidance, we initiated the development of the Library of Guidance for Health Scientists (LIGHTS, https://lights.science/). LIGHTS is a new open access database to effectively support health researchers, statisticians, methods consultants, methods developers, ethics boards, peer reviewers, journal editors, funding bodies, and others who are searching for optimal methods guidance in clinical research.

The routine data of all statutorily insured persons according to the Data Transparency Regulation (DaTraV data) represent a promising data source for the recurrent and timely surveillance of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Germany. Thereby, it has become apparent that there is a high demand for reference evaluations that enable quick and regularly repeatable analyses on important NCDs. Against this background, ReFern-01 was initiated, a joint project of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) and the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM). In collaboration with experts from the field of secondary data analysis and healthcare research, reference evaluations for estimating prevalence, incidence, and mortality for important public health-relevant diseases were developed. First, 11 central NCDs were selected by means of an online survey, and initial case definitions were created in conjunction with a literature review. These were then discussed and agreed upon in a virtual workshop. The created reference evaluations (analysis scripts) allow a standardized estimation of the mentioned epidemiological figures, which are comparable over time and regionally. In addition to providing the results, the scripts will be available at the BfArM for further analysis. Provided that remote access to the analysis of the DaTraV data is available in the future, the results of the ReFern project can strengthen the surveillance of NCDs and support public health actors, for example, in the planning and implementation of health promotion and prevention measures at the federal, state, county, and local levels., (© 2024.

The availability of administrative data and official statistics data for (basic) research becomes increasingly a determinant for the competitiveness of a country's research capabilities. This is particular true for the social sciences including economics as well as health research and could provide an important contribution for evidencebased politics and public administration. In Austria, the greatest challenges are the unclear and uneven legal situation and political resistance against a more open and better structured access to registry and statistical data for science. From an international perspective, the accessibility of administrative data is self-evident and state of the art in many European countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Public health research has increasingly focused on migration as a determinant of health. Responsible research in this area requires an anti-discriminatory approach in its conduct, reporting and dissemination. A discrimination-sensitive use of language is a central element. Guidelines in this regard do not yet exist for the field of public health in German-speaking countries., Methods: Within the framework of the project Improving Health Monitoring in Migrant Populations (IMIRA) at the Robert Koch Institute, a guideline on anti-discriminatory language in research on migration and health was developed. It consists of a manual and an overview of relevant terms and concepts. The needs, content and form of the guideline were developed in an action research process with project staff from the IMIRA project., Results: The manual shows the following five basic principles for anti-discriminatory language use: (1) avoid generalisations, (2) formulate in a discrimination-sensitive way, (3) use self-designations and external designations, (4) recognise that terms are subject to constant change and (5) openly communicate one's own uncertainties. The overview, which is available online as a "living document", contains terms and concepts that are frequently used in association with the topic of migration., Conclusion: The guideline is intended to support researchers in using language in an anti-discriminatory way. This goes hand in hand with a reflection on one's own language use and strengthens responsible research on the topic of migration and health., (© 2022. The Author(s).)

Background: Needlestick injuries are one of the most common and also the mostly lightly taken incidents in the public health system. It is estimated that approximately one million needlestick injuries occur in Europe each year. For those affected needlestick injuries are dangerous and should be taken seriously due to blood-borne infections, such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Methods: In an interdisciplinary cooperation a treatment concept for needlestick injuries was prospectively evaluated over a period of 18 months and an algorithm for the procedure of accident insurance consultants was established. Results: In the investigation time period there was a very high prevalence of infections in the index patients; one in five of the index patients was found to have at least one blood-borne infection. An HIV postexposure prophylaxis (HIV-PEP) was indicated in four personnel and a transfer of hepatitis C virus occurred in one of the medical personnel. Furthermore, in two cases the first diagnosis of active hepatitis B and hepatitis C infections was made in index patients. Conclusions: A complete and watertight collation of needlestick injuries is an essential prerequisite to identify risk-associated activities and to guarantee optimal treatment of injured persons. The management of treatment following needlestick injuries necessitates a high interdiscjplinary competence of accident insurance consultants in extra-disciplinary fields. The close cooperation of various medical disciplines using the Frankfurt model for needlestick injuries can ensure an effective treatment of affected employees. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents a social history of medicine and health research related to gender specific inequality since the 1970s, and shows how these areas conceptualized gender in the areas of medicalization, the medical market place, and the patient's heath history. It also shows how gender specific attributions and social class have changed since 1750. Finally, it is the author's view that there are other factors which should be considered, and he proposes instead that there should be more empirical research on how socio-cultural factors and gender specific health behaviors are connected with healthy life-styles.

In health system research it is essential to consider the knowledge, the motivations, and the behavior of the people concerned. Studying health-seeking behavior provides an important insight into the beliefs, values, and attitudes related to illness and health. Little is known about health- seeking behavior in nomadic pastoralist communities. Based on a one year field study with FulBe pastoralists in Chad, the article describes the determinants of the complex process of health-seeking behavior and its links with user satisfaction. Strategies for interventions should also provide health education to enable users to understand the functioning and the underlying rationale of biomedical treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It mentions about the realignment of health care towards a digital and systematically learning health system. It mentions about collecting electronic patient file for more targeted research, prevention, diagnostics and therapy.

The thorough external examination of a corpse and the correct completion of the death certificate are medical duties with far-reaching consequences. Data obtained from the death certificates are the basis for mortality statistics and for scientific research. They can be helpful in uncovering criminal offences or for the surveillance of medical facilities. For many years the deficiencies of external post-mortem examinations and death certificates have been discussed in professional journals.The important task of analysing all death certificates is performed by the local health authorities. This is the only opportunity for quality control and, if necessary, the doctors who issued the death certificate must be asked for corrections. This also improves the quality of the mortality statistics and contributes to the administration of justice.Additionally, important information for routine duties of the public health authorities can be obtained from the death certificates concerning the monitoring of narcotics, the supervision of medical facilities and the adherence to notification requirements for infectious diseases. Furthermore, death certificates contain relevant data for selected medical research projects.The high information content of death certificates is widely unknown and should be used by the health authorities comprehensively and systematically. Enough qualified staff needs to be allocated to further secure the important task of quality control of death certificates.

The article discusses the factors that determine how physically active a person is. According to a study by Australian professor Adrian E. Bauman, levels of physical activity vary by country, wherein countries with higher gross national product showed higher levels of physical activity. Other factors found to be influencing physical activity include health, gender and level of education.

Einleitung: Die Relevanz von Prävention zur Förderung der Arbeitsfähigkeit älterer Arbeitnehmer sowie zum Erhalt der Selbstständigkeit und Teilhabe im Alter ist erkannt. Die Erforschung wirksamer Interventionen steht in Deutschland bislang jedoch noch am Anfang. Dabei liegen die Ziele der Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung im Alter in der Vermeidung von Erkrankungen und Funktionseinbußen, Erhaltung der Unabhängigkeit und Selbstständigkeit, Erhaltung der aktiven Lebensgestaltung, Vermeidung von psychischen Erkrankungen aufgrund von Überforderung und Aufrechterhaltung eines angemessenen Systems der Unterstützung. Maßnahmen zur Erreichung dieser Ziele werden u.a. von Projekten im Förderschwerpunkt Präventionsforschung des Bundesministeriums für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) durchgeführt und evaluiert.
