“…A quite notable aspect of this discrepancy is malignant neoplasms, which are the leading cause of death among Indian Americans in the United States [5], and the second leading cause of death in California after cardiovascular disease [6]. This is perplexing considering that the incidence of cancers in Indian Americans is comparable to non-Asian-born populations [7] but is lower than non-Hispanic white populations [8]. When considering mortality rates, malignant neoplasm-related fatalities in non-Hispanic white populations have been steadily decreasing while Indian-American fatalities have not [8].…”

“…This is perplexing considering that the incidence of cancers in Indian Americans is comparable to non-Asian-born populations [7] but is lower than non-Hispanic white populations [8]. When considering mortality rates, malignant neoplasm-related fatalities in non-Hispanic white populations have been steadily decreasing while Indian-American fatalities have not [8]. Despite having a lower genetic risk for some cancers [9], discrepancies in mortality rates suggest disparities associated with management or screening efficacy may exist that are not being addressed.…”

Background: Studies have shown lower rates of cancer screening and high mortality rates among all Asian Americans than among non-Hispanic White populations. However, most of these studies often confound diverse Asian American subgroups with limited data on cancer screening for Indian Americans, with this group being particularly interesting because of their counterintuitive socioeconomic status. For this reason, the objective of this study is to evaluate knowledge of the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) cancer screening guidelines and compliance among South Indian Americans residing in Southern California. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study gathering community responses through an electronic survey. The survey reports knowledge of USPSTF screening guidelines and participant compliance rates. Rates were further compared to non-Hispanic White populations from official sources. Results: South Indian Americans residing in California had lower rates of compliance for colorectal, lung, and breast cancer screening when compared to that of non-Hispanic White populations in the same region, with the exception of cervical cancer screening rates. Conclusion: Understanding the cultural characteristics of special populations, such as Indian Americans, can help communities adhere to more effective screening practices that can improve outcomes.

“…The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that at least five million deaths occur annually from trauma, with 90% of these mortality happening in emerging nations (Perez et al, 2022;Rikken et al, 2022). In 2018, Indonesia ranked fifth in the world for the number of traffic-related deaths resulting from trauma, with 31,282 victims (Hulwah et al, 2021).…”

Indonesia's economic growth increases work and transportation accidents. In 2018, Riskesdas reported 10.1% injury prevalence in Papua Province, compared to 9.2% nationally. To reduce trauma-related disability and death, an ideal trauma assessment system needs to assess trauma severity, predict patient prognosis, and improve reaction time and decision-making. The combined trauma scoring system was established to solve the shortcomings of the anatomical and physiological scoring systems This study aims compared TRISS and ASCOT's trauma patient mortality prediction accuracy. The study's design is an observational, retrospective, analytic investigation. Systematic sampling yielded 269 trauma patient reports. Statistical evaluation utilizing the Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) and Area Under the Curve (AUC) diagnostic tests. The results indicated that the accuracy of TRISS in predicting mortality in trauma patients had an AUC value of 0.90 (strong), p=0.000, 92% sensitivity and 76% specificity, with a sensitivity of 92% and a specificity of 76%. The AUC value for ASCOT's ability to predict mortality in trauma patients is 0.93 (very strong), p=0.000, with 96% sensitivity and 82% specificity. ASCOT predicts mortality in trauma patients more accurately than TRISS.
