About The Study: This cross-sectional study of electronic health record (EHR) data found that female surgeons spent more time documenting patient encounters, wrote longer notes, and spent more time in the EHR system compared with male surgeons. These findings have important implications for understanding the differential burdens faced by female surgeons, including potential contributions to burnout and payment disparities.

About The Study: Between 2009 and 2022, U.S. adolescents reported declines in medical use and nonmedical use of prescription medications, concurring with other research. This study expands these findings by showing declines in peer-to-peer and multiple sources of diversion and increased perceived difficulty of obtaining prescription medications for nonmedical use. These changes may be partially attributed to prescribing guideline changes and COVID-related school closures, which limited social interaction with peers.

About The Study: The findings of this study suggest that sexual and gender minority adults in the U.S. have a disproportionate prevalence of epilepsy. The reasons for this disparity are likely complex and may be associated with biological and psychosocial determinants of health unique to this population; as such, these individuals are in need of protected access to medical care.

About The Study: In this randomized study, individuals who received a cash benefit had significantly fewer emergency department visits, including those related to behavioral health and substance use, fewer admissions to the hospital from the emergency department, and increased use of outpatient subspecialty care. Study results suggest that policies that seek to alleviate poverty by providing income support may have important benefits for health and access to care.

About The Study: Oral corticosteroid use of more than 90 days per year among individuals with atopic dermatitis was associated with a small increased risk of composite adverse outcomes in this large population-based case-control study. Future investigations are warranted to confirm this potential risk of adverse events (AEs) associated with long-term use of oral corticosteroids for patients with exacerbations of atopic dermatitis, and health care professionals should thoroughly weigh the benefits associated with oral corticosteroids against the observed small risk of AEs, while continuously monitoring for AEs.

About The Study: In this population-level study of National Center for Health Statistics databases, neonatal, early neonatal, and infant mortality rates did not increase during the initial COVID-19 pandemic period. However, associations were observed between the pandemic period social distancing measures and higher rates of neonatal and early neonatal mortality, as well as preterm birth rate with a lag period, suggesting the importance of monitoring infant health outcomes following pandemic-related population behavior changes.

About The Study: This study showed that a nudge intervention in the electronic health record (EHR) significantly decreased low-value axillary surgery in older women with early-stage, clinically node-negative, HR+/HER2− breast cancer. This user-friendly and easily implementable EHR-based intervention could be a beneficial approach for decreasing low-value care in other practice settings or patient populations.

Endometriosis Typology and Ovarian Cancer Risk

About The Study: Ovarian cancer risk was markedly increased among women with ovarian endometriomas and/or deep infiltrating endometriosis. This population may benefit from counseling regarding ovarian cancer risk and prevention and could be an important population for targeted screening and prevention studies.

 

Quote from corresponding author Karen C. Schliep, Ph.D.:

Please note: An earlier version of this quote had the incorrect number of cases per number of women. This figure has been corrected and is per 10,000 women.

 

“Our study, among nearly a half million women followed over 20 years, found that endometriosis was linked with a 4-fold higher risk of ovarian cancer overall. This association jumped to a 19-fold higher risk when looking specifically at ovarian endometriomas or deep infiltrating endometriosis and type I ovarian cancer including endometrioid, clear cell, mucinous, and low-grade serous cancer.

“Given the rarity of ovarian cancer the excess risk was relatively small, with 10–20 additional cases per 10,000 women. Nevertheless, women with endometriosis, notably the more severe subtypes, may be an important population for targeted cancer screening and prevention studies.

“Precision medicine is more than just genetics. Clinical features, including a woman’s history of endometriosis and type of endometriosis, may inform ovarian cancer risk prediction models.”

About The Study: Follow-up of youth with pre-symptomatic type 1 diabetes demonstrated that the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with an accelerated progression to clinical disease and that this acceleration was confined to those with COVID-19. Further studies are required to determine whether COVID-19 also accelerates progression to type 1 diabetes in adults and whether vaccination and monitoring for COVID-19 symptoms should be considered for individuals with pre-symptomatic type 1 diabetes.

About The Study: In this cross-sectional study, the expression of several stress-related genes in prostate tumors was higher among men residing in disadvantaged neighborhoods. This study is one of the first to suggest associations of neighborhood disadvantage with prostate tumor RNA expression. Additional research is needed in larger studies to replicate findings and further investigate interrelationships of neighborhood factors, tumor biology, and aggressive prostate cancer to inform interventions to reduce disparities.

When deciding to use HMT for breast cancer in women age 65 years or more, clinicians should consider age, self-identified race, and HMT type in treatment decisions.

About The Study: In this cross-sectional study of U.S. children, nicotine absorption was much lower in children who were exposed to secondhand vapor versus secondhand smoke, but higher than in those exposed to neither. These findings suggest that switching from smoking to vaping indoors may substantially reduce, but not eliminate, children’s secondhand exposure to nicotine and other noxious substances.

About The Study: Substance use treatment facilities reported significant gaps in provision of effective treatments for opioid use disorder (OUD). More than one-third of facilities did not offer medications for OUD (MOUD) and less than half offered multiple MOUD types, limiting MOUD treatment options for patients and clinicians.

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 cohort study of individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D), the increase in spending upon reaching age 65 (when most people enroll in Medicare) was associated with patient coinsurance in the coverage gap and catastrophic coverage phases of Medicare Part D. The increased patient cost burden at age 65 and a modest reduction in overall T2D drug utilization suggest that as people with T2D age into Medicare, there is potentially an increase in nonadherence and diabetes complications.

About The Study: In this large cohort study of singleton full term births in Canada, prenatal ambient PM2.5 exposure was associated with an increased risk of cerebral palsy in offspring. Further studies are needed to explore this association and its potential biological pathways, which could advance the identification of environmental risk factors of cerebral palsy in early life.

About The Study: Survey respondents reported substantial acceptability of hospital-at-home care, which did not vary across sociodemographics, health insurance coverage, health status, prior hospitalizations, or telehealth use. Approximately half of respondents agreed that hospital-at-home care was effective, safe, and convenient. Most indicated capacity to perform many caregiver tasks.
