About The Study: This study examined the association of the 2021 expanded child tax credit (CTC) advance payments with child abuse and neglect and found immediate reductions in child abuse and neglect-related emergency department visits in the days following disbursement of the CTC payments. These results are important for discussions of making the temporary expansion of the CTC permanent and are applicable to income support policies more broadly.

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 using accelerometer data from 81,000 UK Biobank participants, those with higher physical activity levels had lower risks of hospitalization across a broad range of health conditions. These findings suggest that aiming to increase moderate to vigorous physical activity by 20 minutes per day may be a useful nonpharmaceutical intervention to reduce health care burdens and improve quality of life.

About The Study: The results of this study of 14,000 youths ages 5 to 18 suggest that implementation of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 was associated with reduced body mass index (BMI) among youths. The findings suggest that school meal programs represent a key opportunity for interventions to combat the childhood obesity epidemic given the high rates of program participation and the proportion of total calories consumed through school-based meals.

USPSTF Recommendation Statement on Serologic Screening for Genital Herpes Infection

Posted February 9, 2023 by Jim Michalski

JAMA

EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE: 11 A.M. (ET), TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2023

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 routine serologic screening for genital herpes simplex virus infection in asymptomatic adolescents and adults, including pregnant persons. Genital herpes is a common sexually transmitted infection caused by two related viruses, herpes simplex type 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex type 2 (HSV-2). Infection is lifelong; currently, there is no cure for HSV infection. Antiviral medications may provide clinical benefits to symptomatic persons. The USPSTF routinely makes recommendations about the effectiveness of preventive care services and this statement is consistent with its 2016 recommendation.

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: In this study of paid medical malpractice claims for all U.S. physicians at the time of the study, a single prior paid claim was associated with substantial, long-lived higher future claim risk, independent of whether a physician was practicing in a high- or low-risk specialty, or whether a state publicly disclosed paid claims. Timely, noncoercive intervention, including education, has the potential to reduce future claims.

Authors: David A. Hyman, J.D., M.D., of the Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C., is the corresponding author.

About The Study: In this systematic review and meta-analysis of 52 studies with more than 1.7 million patients conducted in different health care and income settings, antimicrobial stewardship programs appeared to be effective in reducing antibiotic consumption in both hospital and nonhospital settings. Impact assessment of antimicrobial stewardship programs in resource-limited settings remains scarce; further research is needed on how to best achieve reductions in antibiotic use in low- and middle-income countries.

About The Study: Results of this study suggest that the percentage of female residents in surgical specialties has improved over the last 18 years, and the percentage of underrepresented in medicine residents has remained relatively unchanged. Risk for attrition and unintended attrition was significantly elevated for female and underrepresented in medicine residents, specifically Black/African Americans. These results highlight current racial and sex disparities in resident attrition and demonstrate the importance of developing strategies to recruit, retain, and support residents.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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 results of this study suggest that a deep learning model able to distinguish colon carcinoma and acute diverticulitis in computed tomography (CT) images as a support system may significantly improve the diagnostic performance of radiologists, which may improve patient care. As an artificial intelligence support system, the model significantly improved the sensitivity and specificity and reduced the number of false-negative and false-positive findings.
