About The Study: This systematic review and meta-analysis of 46 studies including 29,000 children and adolescents indicates that, on average, screen time increased by 52%, or 84 min/day (1.4 hours/day), during the pandemic. Compared with a pre-pandemic baseline value of 2.7 hours/day, this increase corresponds to a daily average of 4.1 hours/day of screen time across all children and adolescents during the pandemic. Screen time increases were highest for individuals ages 12 to 18 and for handheld devices and personal computers. Practitioners and pandemic recovery initiatives should focus on fostering healthy device habits, including moderating use, monitoring content, prioritizing device-free time, and using screens for creativity or connection.

About The Study: There was a significant COVID-19 pandemic-related increase in both inpatient and outpatient volume of adolescent and young adult patients with eating disorders (EDs) at geographically diverse academic adolescent medicine programs, particularly in the first year of the pandemic. Given inadequate ED care availability prior to the pandemic, the increased post-pandemic demand will likely outstrip available resources. Results highlight the need to address ED workforce and program capacity issues as well as improve ED prevention strategies.

About The Study: In this survey study of 151,000 students in grades 6 to 12, age at initiation of e-cigarette use decreased and intensity of use and addiction increased between 2014 and 2021. By 2019, more e-cigarette users were using their first tobacco product within 5 minutes of waking than users of cigarettes and all other tobacco products combined. These findings suggest that clinicians need to be ready to address youth addiction to these new highly addictive nicotine products during many clinical encounters, and stronger regulation is needed, including comprehensive bans on the sale of flavored tobacco products.

About The Study: Researchers found in this analysis of nationally representative health record data that emergency department (ED) deaths accounted for 11.3% of total deaths from 2010 to 2019, and 33.2% of all decedents nationally visited the ED within one month of their death. These deaths were more common during or after ED visits by patients who were older and those with more comorbidities. These findings suggest emergency medicine practitioners must be able to identify patients for whom end-of-life care is necessary or preferred and have the resources necessary to delivery this care.

About The Study: This study compared the proportions of racial and ethnic groups in 221 phase 1 clinical trials of drugs for metastatic cancer from 2000 to 2018 with population-based cancer registry data and found worsening disparities over time in the accrual of patients from racial and ethnic minority groups. These findings may represent widening inequalities in access to trial sites and worsening systemic biases. More efforts are needed to diversify phase 1 cancer drug trials to improve equity in access to new treatments and to ensure that safety and efficacy findings from early drug trials are generalizable across populations.

About The Study: In this analysis of the top 1,000 generics in Colorado’s all-payer claims database in 2019, researchers identified 45 high-cost products that had lower-cost therapeutic alternatives of same clinical value. Overall, high-cost generics were 15.6 times more expensive than their therapeutic alternatives (median values). If the lower-cost alternatives had been used, total spending would have been reduced by 88%. Substitution of high-cost generics may provide a simple pathway to offer the same therapeutic benefit at lower cost to patients and insurers.

About The Study: The results of this cross-sectional study suggest that between 2015 and 2019 an estimated 1 in 8 total deaths among U.S. adults ages 20 to 64 were attributable to excessive alcohol use, including 1 in 5 deaths among adults ages 20 to 49. The number of premature deaths could be reduced with increased implementation of evidenced-based, population-level alcohol policies, such as increasing alcohol taxes or regulating alcohol outlet density.

About The Study: Among a sample of abortion facilities, the 2021 Texas law banning abortion in early pregnancy (SB 8) was significantly associated with a decrease in the documented total of facility-based abortions in Texas and obtained by Texas residents in surrounding states in the first month after implementation compared with the previous month. Over the 6 months following SB 8 implementation, the percentage of out-of-state abortions among Texas residents obtained at 12 or more weeks of gestation significantly increased.

USPSTF Recommendation Statement on Hormone Therapy for Prevention of Postmenopausal Conditions
JAMA
EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE: 11 A.M. (ET), TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2022
Media advisory: To contact the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, email the Media Coordinator at Newsroom@USPSTF.net or call 301-951-9203. The full report and related articles are linked to this news release.

Bottom Line: The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends against the use of combined estrogen and progestin for the primary prevention of chronic conditions in postmenopausal persons and against the use of estrogen alone for the primary prevention of chronic conditions in postmenopausal persons who have had a hysterectomy. This recommendation applies to asymptomatic, postmenopausal persons who are considering hormone therapy for the primary prevention of chronic medical conditions. The prevalence and incidence of most chronic diseases (such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, osteoporosis, and fracture) increase with age, and U.S. persons who reach menopause are expected on average to live more than another 30 years. However, the excess risk for chronic conditions that can be attributed to menopause alone is uncertain. The USPSTF routinely makes recommendations about the effectiveness of preventive care services and this recommendation is consistent with its 2017 statement on hormone therapy for the primary prevention of chronic conditions in postmenopausal women.

About The Study: The findings of this study of survey data including 590,000 adults suggest that barriers to timely medical care in the U.S. increased for all population groups from 1999 to 2018, with associated increases in disparities among race and ethnicity groups. Interventions beyond those currently implemented are needed to improve access to medical care and to eliminate disparities among race and ethnicity groups.

About The Study: Researchers found in this study of 150,000 patients wide variation in hospital markup for head and neck cancer surgery, with a 4-fold increase in charges relative to costs in 25% of hospitals. The highest markups were found in for-profit hospitals in moderately concentrated and concentrated markets. These data suggest that greater transparency is needed to address disparities in hospital pricing.

About The Study: In this 6-month randomized clinical trial that included 150 adults, a low-carbohydrate diet intervention led to larger reductions in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) than usual diet among adults with elevated untreated HbA1c, though the study was unable to evaluate its effects independently of weight loss. This diet, if sustained, might be a useful dietary approach for preventing and treating type 2 diabetes, but more research is needed.

About The Study: The findings of this study that included 43,000 veterans suggest that Black veterans hospitalized with COVID-19 were less likely to be treated with evidence-based COVID-19 treatments, including systemic steroids, remdesivir, and immunomodulatory drugs. Differences in care were partially explained by within- and between-hospital differences and underscore the need for a comprehension approach to minimize racial variation in COVID-19 care.

About The Study: Researchers found in this study of 31,000 medical school graduates a significant disparity in publication rates across sex and race and ethnicity, with women and Black and Hispanic students reporting lower publication rates compared with men and white students. These findings suggest that inequities in the physician-scientist workforce began early in training, as exposure to research and research productivity are critical for a successful career as a physician-scientist.

About The Study: Using a comprehensive neuropsychological test battery, researchers found in this nationally representative cross-sectional study of nearly 3,500 individuals age 65 and older that 10% were classified as having dementia and 22% as having mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The results indicated a disproportionate burden of dementia among older Black adults, of MCI among older Hispanic adults, and of both among people with lower educational attainment.

About The Study: The results of this survey study suggest that rural hospitals, critical access hospitals, and safety-net hospitals are not doing more and, in some cases, are engaging in fewer strategies to address the social determinants of health of their vulnerable populations, especially regarding community partnerships. This finding may be attributable to limited financial resources, workforce constraints, limited community resources and institutional partnerships, and lack of incentives.

About The Study: Among outpatients with mild to moderate COVID-19, treatment with ivermectin, compared with placebo, did not significantly improve time to recovery in this trial that enrolled more than 1,500 participants in the United States. A lack of treatment effect was also seen for secondary clinical outcomes including hospitalization, death, or acute care visits. These findings do not support the use of ivermectin in patients with mild to moderate COVID-19.

About The Study: This study of emergency department visits made annually from 2006 through 2019 found a significant increase in sexual assault emergency department visits, outpacing the growth of law enforcement reporting. Concurrently, there was a significant decrease in admission rates for sexual assault. These data can inform policies and the programming needed to support this vulnerable population.
