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. 

Authors: Elizabeth M. Viglianti, M.D., M.P.H., M.Sc., of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, is the corresponding author.

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. Extension of the currently recommended 10-year screening intervals may be warranted, especially for female and younger participants without gastrointestinal symptoms.

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.

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.

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. 

Authors: Frank B. Hu, M.D., Ph.D., of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, is the corresponding author.

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.

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.

About The Study: In this study of 4,100 multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) hospitalizations in 2021, MIS-C was more common and severe than previously reported, with more racial disparities in outcomes than were seen in patients with COVID-19. The findings of this study suggest that relying on mean outcomes for MIS-C from past studies can be misleading, since outcomes and disparities varied widely with the number of multiorgan dysfunctions.

About The Study: In this study of 3,525 Swedish university students, procrastination was associated with worse subsequent mental health (depression, anxiety and stress symptom levels), having disabling pain in the upper extremities, unhealthy lifestyle behaviors (poor sleep quality and physical inactivity), and worse levels of psychosocial health factors (higher loneliness and more economic difficulties). Considering that procrastination is prevalent among university students, these findings may be of importance to enhance the understanding of students’ health.

About The Study: There were significant increases in the use of palliative care for recently hospitalized veterans whose primary care team had additional social work staffing, according to the results of this study involving 43,200 veterans in the Department of Veterans Affairs health system. These findings suggest that social workers may increase access to and/or use of palliative care. Future work should assess the mechanism for this association and whether the increase in palliative care is associated with other health or health care outcomes.

About The Study: The results of this study of 169 sixth- and seventh-grade students suggest that social media checking behaviors in early adolescence may be associated with changes in the brain’s sensitivity to social rewards and punishments. Further research examining long-term associations between social media use, adolescent neural development, and psychological adjustment is needed to understand the effects of a ubiquitous influence on development for today’s adolescents.

About The Study: In this large population-based study, patients with cancer had greater risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and worse outcomes than patients without cancer, and the risk was highest for patients with hematologic cancer and any patients with cancer receiving active treatment. Triple vaccination was associated with lower risk of poor outcomes.

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 15,000 nursing homes suggest that before the Omicron variant wave, increasing staff vaccination rates was associated with lower incidence of COVID-19 cases and deaths among residents and staff in U.S. nursing homes. However, as newer, more infectious and transmissible variants of the virus emerged, the original 2-dose regimen of the COVID-19 vaccine as recommended in December 2020 was no longer associated with lower rates of adverse COVID-19 outcomes in nursing homes. Policy makers may want to consider longer-term policy options to increase the uptake of booster doses among staff in nursing homes. 

Authors: Soham Sinha, M.S., of the University of Chicago, is the corresponding author.

JAMA Health Forum

EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE: 11 A.M. (ET), THURSDAY, DECEMBER 29, 2022

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

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: The annual number of ransomware attacks on health care delivery organizations more than doubled from 2016 to 2021, exposing the personal health information of nearly 42 million patients, according to the results of this study of 374 ransomware attacks. During the study period, ransomware attacks exposed larger quantities of personal health information and grew more likely to affect large organizations with multiple facilities. Current monitoring/reporting efforts provide limited information and could be expanded to potentially yield a more complete view of how this growing form of cybercrime affects the delivery of health care. 

Authors: Hannah T. Neprash, Ph.D., of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, is the corresponding author.

About The Study: In this study of 578 mental health apps, findings indicate that the current app marketplaces primarily offered basic features such as psychoeducation, goal tracking, and mindfulness but fewer innovative features such as biofeedback or specialized therapies. Privacy challenges remained common, and app popularity metrics provided little help in identifying apps with more privacy.

About The Study: Compared with expected sales, quarterly cigarette sales per capita were lower in eight states and Washington, D.C., higher in 22 states, and unchanged in 20 states during the COVID-19 pandemic according to this analysis. The differential changes in cigarette sales across states may reflect state-level variation in the COVID-19 pandemic response and tobacco control policy environment.

About The Study: The findings of this study suggest that pediatric mental health emergency department visits and revisits are increasing. Markers of disease severity and health care access were associated with revisits. Directing hospital and community interventions toward identified high-risk patients is needed to help mitigate recurrent mental health emergency department use and improve mental health care delivery. 

Authors: Anna M. Cushing, M.D., of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, is the corresponding author.
