About The Study: In this study of 4,400 Medicare patients, self-reported loneliness was associated with an increased risk of death at 30 days after non-elective surgery. The findings suggest that loneliness may be an important social determinant of postoperative outcomes, particularly for non-elective care.

About The Study: This cross-sectional study suggested the presence of at least one post–COVID-19 symptom in 59.7% of hospitalized patients and 67.5% of non-hospitalized patients two years after infection. Small differences in symptoms at onset of COVID-19 were identified between hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients. Post–COVID-19 symptoms were similar between hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients; however, lack of inclusion of uninfected controls limits the ability to assess the association of SARS-CoV-2 infection with overall and specific post–COVID-19 symptoms two years after acute infection. Future studies should include uninfected control populations.

About The Study: In this study of two community-based cohort studies in midlife (n = 497) and late life (n = 970), racial and ethnic disparities in small vessel cerebrovascular disease were apparent in midlife. In Latinx and white adults, brain aging was more pronounced in late life than midlife, whereas Black adults showed an accelerated pattern of brain aging beginning in midlife. Race and ethnicity disparities in aging and Alzheimer disease and related dementias may be due partially to social forces that accelerate brain aging, especially in Black middle-age adults.

USPSTF Recommendation Statement on Screening for Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Adults
JAMA
EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE: 11 A.M. (ET), TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 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.
Embed this link to provide your readers free access to the full-text article This link will be live at the embargo time and all USPSTF articles remain free indefinitely https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/10.1001/jama.2022.20304?guestAccessKey=d0ba33ac-596a-46dd-9d58-c5ab6e0fa679&utm_source=For_The_Media&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ftm_links&utm_content=tfl&utm_term=111522
Bottom Line: The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to make a recommendation about screening for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in the general adult population. This statement applies to asymptomatic adults and adults with unrecognized symptoms of OSA. Current prevalence of OSA in the United States is not well established. In 2007-2010 the estimated prevalence of at least mild OSA plus symptoms of daytime sleepiness among adults ages 30 to 70 was 14% for men and 5% for women, and the estimated prevalence of moderate to severe OSA was 13% for men and 6% for women. Adverse health outcomes associated with untreated OSA include cardiovascular disease and cerebrovascular events, type 2 diabetes, cognitive impairment, decreased quality of life, and motor vehicle crashes. Severe OSA is associated with increased all-cause mortality. The USPSTF routinely makes recommendations about the effectiveness of preventive care services and this statement is consistent with its 2017 recommendation on screening for OSA.

About The Study: The findings of this study of 4.8 million children with otitis media (infection of the middle ear) and commercial insurance suggest that those who were socially disadvantaged were less likely to receive treatment and more likely to experience complications for undertreated otitis media. As otitis media is a modifiable risk factor for hearing loss, efforts need to be made to ensure equitable access to treatment for all children.

About The Study: This analysis found that racial and ethnic disparities in buprenorphine treatment duration increased between 2006 and 2020, particularly during more recent years. Buprenorphine is used to treat opioid use disorder and reduce overdose risk. Duration of buprenorphine treatment is a measure of quality of care; longer retention is associated with superior clinical outcomes.

About The Study: In this pooled analysis involving firearm laws and firearm-related deaths from 2000 to 2019 in the 48 contiguous states, a permit requirement for purchasing all firearms had an interstate association with decreased total firearm-related deaths and homicide, whereas the prohibition of firearm possession for individuals who have committed a violent misdemeanor had an interstate association with decreased firearm suicide. These findings suggest that synergic legislative action to implement firearm laws in proximate states may help prevent firearm-related deaths.

About The Study: In this case-control study of individuals age 13 or older without a prior eating disorder diagnosis, researchers found that an outpatient electrolyte abnormality was associated with an over 2-fold higher odds of a subsequent eating disorder diagnosis. The median time from the earliest electrolyte abnormality to eating disorder diagnosis exceeded one year. These results suggest that otherwise unexplained outpatient electrolyte abnormalities may serve to identify individuals who should be screened for an underlying eating disorder.

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 JAMA Network Open: JAMA Network Open is the new 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: 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.

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.
