About The Study: A symptom-based screening tool was able to identify children at high risk of asthma as early as age 3. These findings suggest that this tool could be incorporated as a routine screening tool in primary care settings to trigger timely treatment initiatives and promote active disease monitoring.

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: In this study of 1,270 youths, those who attended a high-performing public charter high school reported substantially lower rates of substance use disorder and delinquent behaviors through age 21. Attendance at such a school was also associated with substantially better physical health and lower obesity or overweight rates among male participants but substantially worse physical health outcomes among female participants. This study used the random school admissions lottery system of high-performing public charter high schools in low-income neighborhoods of Los Angeles to examine the health outcomes of students who applied to at least one of five of these high schools. Participants attended 147 different high schools and were randomly selected from those who won the admissions lottery (intervention group) and those who were placed on a waiting list (control group).

About The Study: This secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial found that positive patient beliefs about the likely success of antibiotics for appendicitis were associated with a lower risk of appendectomy and with resolution of signs and symptoms by 30 days. The mechanisms that underlie this observed association between patients’ beliefs and outcomes for appendicitis remain to be determined.

About The Study: The results of this nationally representative study including 594,000 persons in England suggest that there was an increased risk of suicide associated with dementia in patients diagnosed before the age of 65, those with a recent dementia diagnosis (within 3 months), and those with existing diagnoses of psychiatric comorbidities. In particular, there was an association between increased suicide risk in patients who were diagnosed younger than 65 years in the 3-month post-diagnostic period. Diagnostic and management services for dementia, in both primary and secondary care settings, should target suicide risk assessment to the identified high-risk groups.

About The Study: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy was not associated with increased risks of peripartum adverse outcomes, including preterm birth, small size for gestational age, cesarean delivery, and postpartum hemorrhage. COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy was associated with lower risks of neonatal intensive care unit admission, intrauterine fetal death, and maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection. Therefore, COVID-19 vaccination should be encouraged for pregnant individuals.

About The Study: Researchers found that hospital occupancy greater than 85% was associated with increased emergency department (ED) boarding beyond the 4-hour standard. Boarding refers to holding admitted patients in the ED, often in hallways, while awaiting an inpatient bed. Throughout 2020 and 2021, ED boarding increased even when hospital occupancy did not increase above January 2020 levels.

About JAMA Health Forum: JAMA Health Forum has transitioned from an information channel to 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: This analysis found that the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with shifts in the focus of payments from pharmaceutical and medical device companies to physicians and teaching hospitals for research and an immediate and sustained decline in payments for marketing. Research payments were stable during the pandemic despite widespread clinical trial suspensions, which may reflect clinical trial adaptations, including virtual study visits and remote outcome measurement.

About The Study: In this cross-sectional study of 60 new therapeutic agents approved by the Food and Drug Administration from 2009 to 2018, there was no association between estimated research and development investments and treatment costs based on list prices at the launch of the product or based on net prices a year after launch. Findings of this study suggest drug companies should make further data available if they want to use this argument to justify high prices.
Authors: Olivier J. Wouters, Ph.D., of the London School of Economics and Political Science, is the corresponding author.

USPSTF Reaffirms Recommendation of Screening for Syphilis Infection in Nonpregnant Adolescents, Adults
JAMA
EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE: 11 A.M. (ET), TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 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.2022.15322?guestAccessKey=b66e8baa-faf1-4430-8427-de671a5a189a&utm_source=For_The_Media&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ftm_links&utm_content=tfl&utm_term=092722
Bottom Line: The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) reaffirms its 2016 recommendation of screening for syphilis in persons who are at increased risk for infection. This recommendation applies to asymptomatic, nonpregnant adolescents and adults who have ever been sexually active. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection that can progress through different stages and cause serious health problems if left untreated. Reported cases of primary and secondary syphilis in the U.S. increased from a record low of 2.1 cases per 100,000 population in 2000 and 2001 to 11.9 cases per 100,000 population in 2019. Men account for the majority of cases, and rates among women nearly tripled from 2015 to 2019. The USPSTF routinely makes recommendations about the effectiveness of preventive care services.

About The Study: In 348 California hospitals, hospital financial performance was highly variable during the COVID-19 pandemic. Losses were reduced by COVID-19 relief funding and strong equities market performance starting in the second quarter of 2020. Non–safety net hospitals maintained positive operating margins throughout the pandemic, while safety-net hospitals experienced large losses. Between the first quarter of 2020 and the second quarter of 2021, California safety-net hospitals’ net operating losses were more than $3.2 billion.

About The Study: In this cross-sectional study, 1,970 adults living in Flint, Michigan, during the water crisis were surveyed about their crisis experiences, their psychological symptoms five years later, and their access to and use of mental health services in the intervening years. More than one-fifth met criteria for presumptive past-year depression, nearly one-quarter for past-year presumptive posttraumatic stress disorder, and more than one-tenth for both disorders five years after the onset of the water crisis. Only 34.8% were ever offered mental health services to assist with water-crisis-related psychiatric symptoms, and most (79.3%) who were offered services utilized them.

About The Study: The findings of this study suggests that federal prosecutors have exercised far less than their full capacity under the Park doctrine to sanction problematic corporate behavior that threatens patients and the public health. The objective of the doctrine is to protect patients from the harms of an unsafe or fraudulent medical marketplace by targeting the executives who run the drug or medical device companies that make revenues on these products while violating federal law, rather than have that risk borne by patients or impersonal corporate entities.
