About The Study: In this study of 1,981 women who reported a positive SARS-CoV-2 test, pre-infection healthy lifestyle was associated with a substantially lower risk of post–COVID-19 condition (PCC), informally known as long COVID. Future research should investigate whether lifestyle interventions may reduce risk of developing PCC or mitigate symptoms among individuals with PCC or possibly other post-infection syndromes.

About The Study: In this study of 57,460 pertussis (also known as whooping cough) cases in the United States, following maternal tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine introduction, a sustained decrease in pertussis incidence was observed among infants younger than 2 months, narrowing the incidence gap with infants ages 6 months to less than 12 months. These findings suggest that maternal Tdap vaccination is associated with a reduction in pertussis burden in the target age group (younger than 2 months) and that further increases in coverage may be associated with additional reductions in infant disease. 

Authors: Tami H. Skoff, M.S., of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, is the corresponding author.

About The Study: Among top-selling U.S. prescription drugs in 2020, a rating of lower added benefit and higher total drug sales were associated with a higher proportion of manufacturer total promotional spending allocated to direct-to-consumer advertising. Further research is needed to understand the implications of these findings.

About The Study: In this case-control study with 164,000 participants, the CoronaVac and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines were generally estimated to be effective against severe outcomes due to SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infection, but protection among older individuals was more likely to wane six months after the second dose. Hence, a booster dose is recommended for older patients to restore immunity.

About JAMA Network Open: JAMA Network Open is an online-only open access general medical journal from the JAMA Network.

About The Study: Among U.S. children and teenagers, from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2022, COVID-19 ranked eighth among all causes of deaths, fifth in disease-related causes of deaths (excluding unintentional injuries, assault, and suicide), and first in deaths caused by infectious or respiratory diseases. Various factors, including underreporting and not accounting for COVID-19’s role as a contributing cause of death from other diseases, mean that these estimates may understate the true mortality burden of COVID-19. 

Authors: Seth Flaxman, Ph.D., of the University of Oxford in Oxford, United Kingdom, is the corresponding author.

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 including 1.8 million Medicare beneficiaries suggest that characteristics of a patient’s neighborhood and the hospital where they received treatment were both associated with risk of death after commonly performed inpatient surgical procedures. The associations of these factors on mortality may be additive. Efforts and investments to address variation in postoperative mortality should include both hospital quality improvement as well as addressing drivers of neighborhood deprivation.

About The Study: An electronic medical record diabetes screening program in an urban emergency department identified a substantial number of patients with undiagnosed prediabetes and type 2 diabetes or undermanaged disease, particularly racial and ethnic minority individuals and low-income patients. Questions remain including whether this approach could be useful in emergency departments in similar urban settings or rural communities and whether targeting outreach to those with higher hemoglobin A1c levels will be more cost-effective.

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: 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.

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.  

Authors: Xuesong Han, Ph.D., of the American Cancer Society in Atlanta, is the corresponding author.

About The Study: The results of this study showed that most children, adolescents and young adults in the continental United States had adequate access to pediatric cancer care in 2021, although disparities existed among racial and ethnic groups and residents in rural areas, areas with high deprivation levels, and some Southern and Midwestern states. Reducing these disparities may require innovative approaches, such as expanding the capabilities of local facilities and creating partnerships with adult oncology centers and primary care physicians. 

Authors: Xiaohui Liu, Ph.D., of the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, is the corresponding author.
