About The Study: Results from this study highlight a lower genetic detection rate for Black patients than for white patients with inherited retinal diseases. This supports a concern that the current development of inherited retinal disease therapeutics is highly dependent on the ability to identify the genetic cause of disease.

Differences in Drug Shortages in the US and Canada

About The Study: Drug-related reports of supply chain issues were 40% less likely to result in meaningful drug shortages in Canada compared with the U.S. These findings highlight the need for international cooperation between countries to curb the effects of drug shortages and improve resiliency of the supply chain for drugs.

 

Quote from corresponding author Katie J. Suda, PharmD, MS:

“Our U.S. drug supply chain is linked globally – shortages in one country can happen in another country – presenting an opportunity to compare and contrast how different countries are affected. When we compared the U.S. to Canada for drugs with the same supply chain issues, Canada was 40% less likely to experience national drug shortages than the U.S.

“The U.S. can learn from other countries’ pharmaceutical policy to mitigate the impact of shortages on access to essential medications. We also need to cooperate locally and globally to strengthen our pharmaceutical supply chain and regionally to recognize the interconnectedness of supply chains essential for North American health security.”

About The Study: This study found that testosterone prescription data through prescription drug monitoring programs was accessible to law enforcement without basic safeguards (such as a warrant or subpoena) in nearly half of states. The ease of access to this sensitive medical information raises privacy, care quality, and civil liberties concerns, especially amid the proliferation of gender-affirming care bans.

About The Study: In this cohort study, the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) had strong psychometric properties in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation, including reliability, responsiveness, and validity. These data support use of the KCCQ in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation as a measure of their symptoms, function, and quality of life and also for assessing the impact of interventions, such as transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention, in rigorously controlled trials.

About The Study: The PROTECTED transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) trial could not show that the use of cerebral embolic protection (CEP) had a significant effect on the incidence of periprocedural stroke during TAVR. Although there was no significant interaction by geographic region, this exploratory post hoc analysis suggests a trend toward greater stroke reduction in the U.S. cohort but not in the outside the U.S. cohort. These findings are hypothesis generating, and further research is needed to determine if regional differences in patient characteristics or procedural practices affect CEP efficacy.

About The Study: This cohort study found that postacute infection syndrome is not unique to COVID-19; it can also occur in people with other severe lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs). However, compared with other LRTIs, COVID-19 appeared to impose an extra burden of neurological, cognitive, and fatigue symptoms. These findings highlight the similarities and differences between post–COVID-19 condition and postacute infection syndrome triggered by other pathogens, which will inform tailored clinical management and offer mechanistic insights into these previously overlooked syndromes.

About The Study: These interim findings demonstrate the feasibility of targeted interpretation of a predefined set of genes from genome sequencing in a population of different racial and ethnic groups. DNA sequencing offers an additional method to improve screening for conditions already included in newborn screening and to add those that cannot be readily screened because there is no biomarker currently detectable in dried blood spots. Additional studies are required to understand if these findings are generalizable to populations of different racial and ethnic groups and whether introduction of sequencing leads to changes in management and improved health outcomes.

 

Quote from corresponding author, Wendy K. Chung, MD, PhD:

“The GUARDIAN study represents a significant advancement in newborn health by demonstrating the feasibility of improving and expanding newborn screening to include hundreds of rare genetic disorders. This expansion enables earlier detection and treatment and promotes health equity.

“Notably, 72% of parents approached enrolled in the study. Among the 120 true positive results, 92% received a confirmed diagnosis for conditions not included in standard newborn screening, allowing for rapid, sometimes life-saving, treatment initiation and significantly reducing the time required for patients to receive a diagnosis.”

About The Study: In this cohort study, non-Hispanic Black race was associated with increased odds of not receiving guideline-concordant care (GCC) and less timely treatment initiation. Non-Hispanic Black race was associated with increased all-cause mortality, which was reduced after adjusting for GCC and clinical and sociodemographic factors. These findings suggest that optimizing timely receipt of GCC may represent a modifiable pathway to improving inferior survival outcomes among older non-Hispanic Black patients with breast cancer.

GLP-1 Receptor Agonist and SGLT2 Inhibitor Prescribing in People With Type 1 Diabetes

Posted by Jim Michalski

JAMA

EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE: 11 A.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2024

Media advisory: The full study is linked to this news release.

About The Study: Prescribing for both glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in a type 1 diabetes (T1D) population identified in a database increased between 2010 and 2023. Differences in characteristics of the overall T1D population and those newly prescribed the medications are often associated with elevated cardiorenal risk profiles, suggesting use of these newer treatments was intended to address additional medical needs. Concerns about euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis led to the removal of SGLT2 inhibitors for T1D in Europe, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved their use in T1D.

 

Quote from corresponding author Hui Shao, MD, PhD:

“Despite concerns that GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors may cause serious adverse events such as ketoacidosis, the use of these medications in type 1 diabetes (T1D) has sharply increased over the past decade. This increase is likely to continue due to their significant benefits in weight management and cardiorenal protection observed in individuals with type 2 diabetes and the general obese population.

 

“Urgent studies are needed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GLP-1RAs and SGLT2 inhibitors in the T1D population. Before such evidence becomes available, caution should be used when prescribing these treatments to individuals with T1D.”

About JAMA Network Open: JAMA Network Open is an online-only open access general medical journal from the JAMA Network. On weekdays, the journal publishes peer-reviewed clinical research and commentary in more than 40 medical and health subject areas. Every article is free online from the day of publication. 

 

About The Study: In this population-based cohort study including 392,000 mothers and 649,000 offspring, offspring from mothers with an eating disorder history or pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) outside normal weight were at higher risk of psychiatric disorders. The results differed somewhat between the 2 exposures with regard to which offspring diagnoses had associations, and effect sizes were typically larger for maternal eating disorders vs BMI. These findings suggest a need to consider these 2 exposures clinically to help prevent offspring mental illness.

About The Study: Infant mortality was higher than expected, overall and among those with congenital anomalies, for several months after the Dobbs decision in the U.S. No post-Dobbs months (i.e., no months after June 2022) showed lower than expected infant mortality. These findings are consistent with the increase in infant mortality found in Texas following the state’s abortion ban.

About The Study: The current patchwork of strategies to help patients manage high prescription drug costs highlights the structural and policy challenges within the U.S. prescription drug market that impede affordable access for some patients. While these strategies provide tangible solutions for clinicians to help patients access medically appropriate but costly medications, they do not address the root causes of high drug prices.

Effect of Electric Fans on Body Core Temperature in Older Adults Exposed to Extreme Indoor Heat

About The Study: Electric fan use did not lower peak core temperature in older adults exposed to extreme indoor heat. Reductions in end-exposure core temperature and heart rate were observed, but they were small and of questionable clinical importance. Neither exceeded previous suggestions for clinical significance. Consistent with recent modeling, these data do not support fans as an efficacious standalone cooling intervention for older adults in hot indoor environments (>33-35 °C).
