About The Study: The mortality gap between the U.S. and comparison countries widened in the last decade. Each year, nearly 20,000 deaths among youths ages 0 to 19 years would not have occurred had U.S. youths experienced the median mortality rates of 16 comparison countries. More than half of these deaths involved infants, reflecting disproportionately high U.S. infant mortality rates.

Its distribution will be solely digital and all content will be freely available for anyone to read.
About The Study: Health care affordability improved for low-income adults during the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in a narrowing of income-based disparities, while prescription medication affordability improved for all income groups. These findings suggest that the recent unwinding of COVID-19 pandemic–related safety-net policies may worsen health care affordability and widen existing income-based inequities.

About The Study: Single-payer financing based on the current federal income tax schedule and a payroll tax could substantially increase progressivity of household payments by income. Rate setting led to slight increases in payments by higher-income households, who financed higher payment rates in Medicare and Medicaid. Spending growth targets reduced payments slightly for all households.

About The Study: The results of this survey study indicated that 6 months into unwinding, 1 in 8 Medicaid beneficiaries reported exiting the program, with wide state variation. Roughly half who lost Medicaid coverage became uninsured. Among those moving to new coverage, many experienced coverage gaps. Adults exiting Medicaid reported more challenges accessing care than respondents who remained enrolled.

About The Study: In this cohort study of prescriptions filled at U.S. pharmacies, the Dobbs decision was associated with declines in oral contraceptives, particularly emergency contraceptives, in states enacting the most restrictive abortion policies. Given the important role of oral contraceptive pills and emergency contraceptives in preventing pregnancy and the need for abortion, efforts to improve access may be needed, especially in states where legal abortion is no longer an option.

Comparison of No-Test Telehealth and In-Person Medication Abortion

About The Study: This prospective, observational study found that medication abortion obtained following no-test telehealth screening and mailing of medications was associated with similar rates of complete abortion compared with in-person care with ultrasonography and met prespecified criteria for noninferiority, with a low prevalence of adverse events.
Quote from corresponding author Lauren J. Ralph, Ph.D., M.P.H.:
“This is a prospective, observational study comparing patients who received medication abortion care remotely and without ultrasound to those who went in person to a facility and got an ultrasound. Using data from patient surveys and their medical record, we found no differences in effectiveness of medication abortion by how they received the medications, and low prevalence of adverse events across all groups.
“No-test, telehealth medication abortion is as effective as in person care with ultrasound, and safe overall. This model of care should be offered as an option to all pregnant people seeking abortion.
“I hope that these findings are reassuring to both clinicians and patients that medication abortion using no-test, telehealth and mailing of medications is as effective as in person care with ultrasound. These models offer a safe, effective and urgently needed way to overcome logistical and geographic obstacles to accessing abortion today.
“Despite continued efforts to restrict access to medication abortion, for example by requiring in person dispensing of the medications, the research has consistently been clear that medication abortion with no-test eligibility assessment and mailing of medications is just as effective as in person care with ultrasound.”

Infant Deaths After Texas’ 2021 Ban on Abortion in Early Pregnancy

About The Study: This study found that Texas’ 2021 ban on abortion in early pregnancy was associated with unexpected increases in infant and neonatal deaths in Texas between 2021 and 2022. Congenital anomalies, which are the leading cause of infant death, also increased in Texas but not the rest of the U.S. Although replication and further analyses are needed to understand the mechanisms behind these findings, the results suggest that restrictive abortion policies may have important unintended consequences in terms of trauma to families and medical cost as a result of increases in infant mortality. These findings are particularly relevant given the recent Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization U.S. Supreme Court decision and subsequent rollbacks of reproductive rights in many U.S. states.

About The Study: In this cohort study of 10,634 participants, childhood risk factors were found to be associated both directly and indirectly to adult cardiovascular disease (CVD), with the largest direct effect seen for body mass index (BMI) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. These findings suggest that intervention for childhood risk factors, in particular BMI, is warranted to reduce incidence of adult CVD as it cannot be fully mitigated by risk factor management in adulthood.

About The Study: Although Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) hospital star rating was associated with postoperative mortality, serious complications, and readmissions, there was wide variation in surgical outcomes within each star rating group. These findings highlight the limitations of the CMS hospital star rating system as a measure of surgical quality and should be a call for continued improvement of publicly reported hospital grade measures.

Bottom Line: The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends that clinicians provide or refer children and adolescents 6 years or older with a high body mass index (BMI; at or above the 95th percentile for age and sex) to comprehensive, intensive behavioral interventions. Approximately 19.7% of children and adolescents ages 2 to 19 in the U.S. have a BMI at or above the 95th percentile for age and sex, based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention growth charts from 2000. The prevalence of high BMI increases with age and is higher among Hispanic/Latino, Native American/Alaska Native, and non-Hispanic Black children and adolescents and children from lower-income families. The USPSTF routinely makes recommendations about the effectiveness of preventive care services and this recommendation is consistent with its 2017 recommendation statement on screening for obesity in children and adolescents.

Germline CDH1 Variants and Lifetime Cancer Risk
JAMA
EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE: 4 A.M. ET, FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 2024
Media advisory: The full study is linked to this news release. This study is being presented at the International Gastric Cancer Linkage Consortium.

About The Study: Among families from North America with germline CDH1 P/LP variants, the cumulative risk of gastric cancer was 7% to 10%, which was lower than previously described, and the cumulative risk of breast cancer among female carriers was 37%, which was similar to prior estimates. These findings inform current management of individuals with germline CDH1 variants.
Quote from corresponding author Jeremy L. Davis, M.D.:
“We showed that the lifetime risk of cancer, specifically stomach cancer, in people born with CDH1 gene mutations is lower than we previously thought. This is very important to patients because for over 20 years we have recommended prophylactic stomach removal to eliminate the risk of hereditary gastric cancer. Complete stomach removal is a major operation, and life without a stomach has significant, long-lasting consequences.
“We believe these results will help many people save their stomachs. It is important to note that this research was made possible by a commitment to studying a rare disease and by sharing data across institutions.”

About The Study: The addition of dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, to standard care for critically ill patients and acute organ dysfunction did not improve clinical outcomes; however, confidence intervals were wide and could not exclude relevant benefits or harms for dapagliflozin.

About The Study: This repeated cross-sectional study found that past-year Papanicolaou testing rates were lower in 2022 than 2019, pointing to a need to increase access to screenings to prevent an uptick in cervical cancer incidence. Rural-vs-urban differences in 2022 indicate a need to specifically target rural females.

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: This cross-sectional study identified a post-pandemic pediatric respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) surge that resulted in markedly increased hospital volumes and advanced respiratory support needs in older children with fewer comorbidities than pre-pandemic seasons. These clinical trends may inform novel vaccine allocation to reduce the overall burden during future RSV seasons.
