About The Study: Among predominantly low-income individuals in the southeastern United States, rurality was associated with an increased risk of heart failure among women and Black men, which persisted after adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors and socioeconomic status. This inequity points to a need for additional emphasis on primary prevention of heart failure among rural populations.

About The Study: The results of this study indicated that clinical outcomes were similar among patients with opioid use disorder who were treated by clinicians with high and low telemedicine use during the COVID-19 pandemic, suggesting that telemedicine is a comparable alternative to in-person opioid use disorder care. There was no evidence that telemedicine was associated with increased access to or improved quality of opioid use disorder treatment. 

Authors: Michael L. Barnett, M.D., M.S., of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, is the corresponding author.

About The Study: Family history was perceived as the greatest risk factor for breast cancer in this study of women ages 40 to 76. In interviews, few women perceived breast density as a risk factor, and one-third thought that they could not take any actions to reduce their breast cancer risk. Comprehensive education about breast cancer risks and prevention strategies is needed.

About The Study: In this systematic review and meta-analysis including 17 studies with 10.9 million vaccinated and 2.6 million unvaccinated children ages 5 to 11, mRNA COVID-19 vaccination was associated with lower risks of SARS-CoV-2 infections, severe COVID-19–related illnesses, and hospitalizations due to COVID-19. While vaccination, compared with placebo, was associated with higher incidences of adverse events, the overall frequency of severe adverse events was low.  

Authors: Jun Yasuhara, M.D., of Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, and Toshiki Kuno, M.D., Ph.D., of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, are the corresponding authors.

About The Study: The findings of this study that included more than 42,000 patients in a large health system suggest that adherence to CDC mRNA monovalent COVID-19 booster dose recommendations among immunocompromised individuals was low. Given the increased risk for severe COVID-19 in this vulnerable population and the well-established additional protection afforded by booster doses, targeted and tailored efforts to ensure that immunocompromised individuals remain up to date with COVID-19 booster dose recommendations are warranted.

About The Study: In this study of individuals diagnosed with cancer from 43 states during the past 2 decades, researchers found that suicide risks decreased but remained higher compared with the general population. Geographic, racial and ethnic, socioeconomic, and clinical characteristics, some of which are modifiable, contributed to the elevated risks. Timely symptom management and targeted psychosocial interventions are warranted for suicide prevention in individuals diagnosed with cancer.

About The Study: Among a U.S. national cohort of internal medicine residents, 1 in 4 women vs 1 in 31 men experienced sexual harassment. Most residents understood the process for formally reporting, yet few reported, and even fewer reported to their residency leadership. Less than half were satisfied with the outcome. These findings highlight the need for meaningful action on reports of sexual harassment and mistreatment to create a safer workplace for residents.

About The Study: The results of this study suggest that advanced colorectal neoplasm prevalence at screening colonoscopies conducted 10 or more years after a negative screening colonoscopy is low.

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: The findings of this study of 4,768 patients with cancer suggest that race and ethnicity and area-level social determinants of health were associated with delayed or discontinued cancer treatment and longer delays to the restart of drug-based therapies following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Such treatment delays could exacerbate persistent cancer survival inequities in the United States. 

Authors: Adana A. M. Llanos, Ph.D., M.P.H., of the Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York, is the corresponding author.

EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE: 11 A.M. (ET), FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 2023

About JAMA Health Forum: JAMA Health Forum is an international, peer-reviewed, online, open access journal that addresses health policy and strategies affecting medicine, health and health care. The journal publishes original research, evidence-based reports and opinion about national and global health policy; innovative approaches to health care delivery; and health care economics, access, quality, safety, equity and reform. Its distribution will be solely digital and all content will be freely available for anyone to read.

 

About The Study: Following cannabis legalization in Canada, provinces that permitted edible cannabis sales experienced much larger increases in hospitalizations for unintentional pediatric poisonings than the province that prohibited cannabis edibles in this analysis including Canada’s four most populous provinces. In provinces with legal edibles, approximately one-third of pediatric hospitalizations for poisonings were due to cannabis. These findings suggest that restricting the sale of legal commercial edibles may be key to preventing pediatric poisonings after recreational cannabis legalization. 

Authors: Daniel T. Myran, M.D., M.P.H., of the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, is the corresponding author.

About The Study: The incidence of suicide among patients undergoing cancer operations was significantly higher compared with the general U.S. population in this study of 1.8 million patients. Patients who were male, white, and divorced or single had the greatest risk of suicide. These findings suggest the need to implement suicide screening among patients undergoing cancer surgery, especially patients whose demographic and tumor characteristics are associated with the highest risk. 

Authors: Chi-Fu Jeffrey Yang, M.D., of Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, is the corresponding author.

About The Study: Among outpatients with mild to moderate COVID-19, treatment with 50 mg of fluvoxamine twice daily for 10 days, compared with placebo, did not improve time to sustained recovery in this randomized clinical trial that included 1,288 adults. These findings do not support the use of fluvoxamine at this dose and duration in patients with mild to moderate COVID-19.

About The Study: Greater adherence to several healthy eating patterns was associated with a lower risk of death in this study including 75,000 women and 44,000 men with up to 36 years of follow-up. These associations were consistent in different racial and ethnic groups, including Hispanic, non-Hispanic Black, and non-Hispanic white individuals. These findings support the recommendations of Dietary Guidelines for Americans that multiple healthy eating patterns can be adapted to individual food traditions and preferences.

About The Study: In this survey study of 1,661 adults with chronic pain in states with medical cannabis laws, 3 in 10 persons reported using cannabis to manage their pain. Most persons who used cannabis as a treatment for chronic pain reported substituting cannabis in place of other pain medications including prescription opioids. The high degree of substitution of cannabis with both opioid and nonopioid treatment emphasizes the importance of research to clarify the effectiveness and potential adverse consequences of cannabis for chronic pain.

Posted by Jim Michalski

JAMA Oncology

EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE: 11 A.M. (ET), THURSDAY, JANUARY 5, 2023

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

Embed this link to provide your readers free access to the full-text article This link will be live at the embargo time https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaoncology/fullarticle/10.1001/jamaoncol.2022.6278?guestAccessKey=a621554c-d2a3-4f1a-88cf-1e17713d89f6&utm_source=For_The_Media&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ftm_links&utm_content=tfl&utm_term=010523

 

About The Study: Implementation of a restrictive opioid prescription protocol specifying an opioid supply of three or fewer days was feasible and no compromises in patient recovery were detected in this study of 4,000 surgical patients in a large tertiary cancer center. The change led to a significant reduction in opioids dispensed postoperatively and was associated with significantly decreased conversion to chronic opioid use in postsurgical patients. 

Authors: Emese Zsiros, M.D., Ph.D., of the Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo, New York, is the corresponding author.
