About The Study: This cross-sectional study found that considerable variation in price markup exists across hospitals and that high-markup hospitals demonstrated both lower quality and value of care. These findings underscore that high-markup hospitals represent a key initial target for national policy efforts targeting pricing regulation, transparency, and quality improvement.

About The Study: In this binational study of older adults with diabetes, nearly 6 in 10 U.S. adults and 3 in 10 Japanese adults discontinued glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) within 12 months of initiating injectable semaglutide. Patients with established cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease had higher discontinuation rates in both countries, which is troublesome given the substantial clinical benefit these high-risk individuals would be expected to derive from GLP-1RA therapy.

About The Study: In this repeated cross-sectional study of 149,000 children in a large central Ohio primary care network during the 20 months after outbreak onset, all measures of measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) coverage remained well below the 93% herd immunity threshold. These persistent, population-wide immunity gaps suggest the need for sustained, equity-focused public health strategies to maintain measles elimination.

About The Study: From 2020 to 2025, prior authorization for glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) became near universal and out-of-pocket costs rose substantially in 2025, as plans increasingly required coinsurance. Although the rise in prior authorization may reflect efforts to curtail off-label GLP-1RA use, recent increases in out-of-pocket costs likely resulted from broader shifts to coinsurance affecting many high-cost drugs.

About The Study: An estimated 3 of 4 U.S. children relied on publicly subsidized insurance (Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program [CHIP], or Marketplace) or experienced a period without any insurance by their 18th birthday in the post-Affordable Care Act (ACA), pre-pandemic policy environment. Substantial state heterogeneity in childhood un-insurance underscores the critical role of Medicaid policies.

About The Study: The findings of this cohort study suggest that poverty and social disadvantage, characterized by low educational level and household income among both women and men, were associated with lower fecundability (defined as the per-month probability of conceiving) and increased risks of subfertility (defined as a time to pregnancy or the duration of actively pursuing pregnancy of more than 12 months or use of assisted reproductive technology) but not with miscarriage risk. Further studies are needed to identify the underlying and explanatory mechanisms associated with fertility outcomes and the potential for novel public health strategies for couples desiring pregnancy.

About The Study: In this decision analytical modeling study of COVID-19 burden in the U.S. in 2024 to 2025, ensemble projections suggested that although vaccinating high-risk groups had substantial benefits in reducing disease burden, maintaining the vaccine recommendation for all individuals had the potential to save thousands more lives. Despite divergence of projections from observed disease trends in 2024 to 2025—possibly driven by variant emergence patterns and immune escape—averted COVID-19 burden due to vaccination was robust across immune escape scenarios, emphasizing the substantial benefit of broader vaccine availability for all individuals.

About The Study: Across racial and ethnic groups, prenatal depression diagnosis and moderate to severe depression symptoms varied by maternal nativity in this cross-sectional study. The observed advantage among non–U.S.-born individuals across other maternal and neonatal outcomes may not uniformly apply to prenatal mental health conditions when race and ethnicity are considered. Future research should explore sociocultural factors that may influence this association.

About The Study: In men with suspected prostate cancer, provided image quality is adequate, an abbreviated biparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, with or without targeted biopsy, could become the new standard of care for prostate cancer diagnosis. With approximately 4 million prostate MRIs performed globally annually, adopting biparametric MRI could substantially increase scanner throughput and reduce costs worldwide.

About The Study: In a large sample of U.S. children born between 1959 and 1966, higher blood pressure (BP) at age 7 was associated with greater risk of premature cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. These findings build upon prior research that linked childhood systolic BP with fatal CVD in young adulthood, but that sample had a follow-up duration through a mean age of only 46 years. This study extends that work with follow-up into the mid-50s and demonstrated consistency in the magnitude of the associations within siblings, which mitigates concerns regarding unmeasured confounding due to shared family or lifestyle characteristics.

Nonregistration, Discontinuation, and Nonpublication of Randomized Trials
About The Study: Findings from this systematic review indicated that nonregistration, premature discontinuation due to poor recruitment, and nonpublication of randomized clinical trial (RCT) results remained major challenges, especially for non–industry-sponsored trials. To mitigate these challenges, requirements enforced by funders and ethics committees also taking into account legal obligations should be considered and empirically evaluated.

About The Study: In participants with moderate to severe generalized anxiety disorder, a single dose of MM120 (lysergide D-tartrate) produced a dose-dependent reduction in anxiety. Lysergide, or lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), is a semisynthetic psychedelic drug. An oral pharmaceutical formulation of LSD is MM120. These results support the dose-dependent efficacy of MM120 and inform the dose selection for phase 3 pivotal trials.

About The Study: In this secondary analysis of the AZALEA-TIMI 71 randomized clinical trial, abelacimab consistently reduced the risk of bleeding relative to rivaroxaban irrespective of kidney function. These findings suggest that abelacimab may offer a particularly favorable safety profile among those with chronic kidney disease; however, larger studies are necessary to characterize the efficacy of abelacimab for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation.

About The Study: In this individual participant data meta-analysis of 4 randomized clinical trials (RCTs), and an overall meta-analysis of 8 RCTs of patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis at low to intermediate risk, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was associated with a reduction in the 1-year incidence of all-cause death or any stroke. These findings emphasize TAVI as alternative option in patients at low to intermediate risk. Long-term follow-up is warranted to evaluate sustainability of these findings.

About The Study: In this prespecified analysis of the DANFLU-2 trial, the risk of incident myocarditis or pericarditis was lower among individuals randomized to high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine vs standard-dose- inactivated influenza vaccine. Despite sporadic reports of myocarditis and pericarditis associated with influenza vaccination, the consistency of our results with vs without inclusion of events occurring immediately after vaccination negates a dose-response association and a causal link.

About The Study: This cohort study found that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) prescriptions were associated with a lower risk of uveitis compared with controls. These findings suggest potential anti-inflammatory benefits beyond glycemic control, warranting further investigation into their role in ocular inflammatory diseases.

About The Study: In this retrospective cohort study, modest amounts of medical debt in collections persisted for years after cancer diagnosis. Total debt in collections was present at higher amounts for certain cancer subpopulations. The persistence of adverse financial outcomes after cancer diagnosis, despite high rates of insurance coverage in Massachusetts, warrants further research and consideration of broader systemic reforms.
