Recent updates to the clinical practice guidelines of the American Heart Association (AHA) and US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), now recommend against the use of aspirin for primary prevention in older adults due to the associated bleeding risks. Moreover, it is estimated that 25-40% of older adults continue routine aspirin consumption without evidence-based clinical indications. Using the emergency department as a platform to evaluate patients' perspectives on discontinuing aspirin in scenarios where the risks or potential drawbacks surpass the benefits. This assessment takes into account the patient's care objectives, existing functionality, life expectancy, values, and preferences.

The purpose of this research study is to understand if convalescent plasma is a potential therapy and to understand the immune response to COVID-19 infection. Understanding the immune system's response after infection will help to inform vaccine design and the potential role of antibodies as therapeutics in the setting of COVID-19 infection and disease.
Patient-specific information needed to inform decisions and actions (e.g., additional vaccinations, special considerations when sick) about care for adolescents with IBD is often not available at the point of care and decision making. We believe tailored self-management guidance, available to patients and community providers in a plain-language, tabular format, can improve care quality and completion of evidence-based health actions.
The research seek to understand if there are barriers to obtaining confirmatory tests once a child is identified by newborn screening as being at risk for cystic fibrosis.
