    Abstract Evidence on the healthcare utilization associated with comorbidity in people with dementia is lacking in Chinese societies. This study aimed to quantify healthcare utilization associated with comorbidity that is common in people living with dementia. We conducted a cohort study using population-based data from Hong Kong public hospitals. Individuals aged 35+ with a dementia diagnosis between 2010 and 2019 were included. Among 88,151 participants, people with at least two comorbidities accounted for 81.2%. Estimates from negative binomial regressions showed that compared to those with one or no comorbid condition other than dementia, adjusted rate ratios of hospitalizations among individuals with six or seven and eight or more conditions were 1.97 [98.75% CI, 1.89-2.05] and 2.74 [2.63-2.86], respectively; adjusted rate ratios of Accident and Emergency department visits among individuals with six or seven and eight or more conditions were 1.53 [1.44-1.63] and 1.92 [1.80-2.05], respectively. Comorbid chronic kidney diseases were associated with the highest adjusted rate ratios of hospitalizations (1.81 [1.74-1.89]), whereas comorbid chronic ulcer of the skin was associated with the highest adjusted rate ratios of Accident and Emergency department visits (1.73 [1.61-1.85]). Healthcare utilization for individuals with dementia differed substantially by both the number of comorbid chronic conditions and the presence of some specific comorbid conditions. These findings further highlight the importance of taking account of multiple long-term conditions in tailoring the care approach and developing healthcare plans for people with dementia.

    Abstract Background: Though the laryngeal cancer only has 1% of the total cancer cases and related deaths, it is a type of head and neck cancers with the highest prevalence. This study aims to investigate the epidemiological trend of laryngeal cancer with updated data on the global distribution of the disease burden.
    Materials and methods: The incidence and mortality rate of laryngeal cancer was extracted from GLOBOCAN (2020), Cancer Incidence in Five Continents series I-X, WHO mortality database , the Nordic Cancer Registries , and the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program. The Global Health data exchanges for the prevalence of its associated risk factors. A Joinpoint regression analysis was used to calculate Average Annual Percentage Change (AAPC).
    Results: The age-standardised rate (ASR) of laryngeal cancer incidence and mortality were 2.0 and 1.0 per 100 000 worldwide. The Caribbean (ASR=4.0) and Central and Eastern Europe (ASR=3.6) had the highest incidence and mortality rate. Incidence and risk factors associated with laryngeal cancer included tobacco usage, alcohol consumption, poor diet, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and lipid disorders. There was an overall decreasing trend in incidence, especially for males, but an increasing incidence was observed in female populations and younger subjects.
    Conclusions: As overall global trends of laryngeal cancer have been decreasing, especially for the male population, this could possibly be attributed to reduced tobacco use and alcohol consumption. Decrease in mortality may be due to improved diagnostic methods and accessibility to treatment, yet disparity in trend remains potentially because of differences in the level of access to surgical care. Disparities in temporal trends across countries may require further research and exploration to determine other underlying factors influencing this.

    Abstract Objectives: We examined if the WHO International Health Regulations (IHR) capacities were associated with better COVID-19 pandemic control.
    Design: Observational study.
    Setting: Population-based study of 114 countries.
    Participants: General population.
    Main outcome measures: For each country, we extracted: (1) the maximum rate of COVID-19 incidence increase per 100,000 population over any 5-day moving average period since the first 100 confirmed cases; (2) the maximum 14-day cumulative incidence rate since the first case; (3) the incidence and mortality within 30 days since the first case and first COVID-19-related death, respectively. We retrieved the 13 country-specific International Health Regulations capacities and constructed linear regression models to examine whether these capacities were associated with COVID-19 incidence and mortality, controlling for the Human Development Index, Gross Domestic Product, the population density, the Global Health Security index, prior exposure to SARS/MERS and Stringency Index.
    Results: Countries with higher International Health Regulations score were significantly more likely to have lower incidence (β coefficient -24, 95% CI -35 to -13) and mortality (β coefficient -1.7, 95% CI -2.5 to -1.0) per 100,000 population within 30 days since the first COVID-19 diagnosis. A similar association was found for the other incidence outcomes. Analysis using different regression models controlling for various confounders showed a similarly significant association.
    Conclusions: The International Health Regulations score was significantly associated with reduction in rate of incidence and mortality of COVID-19. These findings inform design of pandemic control strategies, and validated the International Health Regulations capacities as important metrics for countries that warrant evaluation and improvement of their health security capabilities.
