About The Study: In this study of 720 patients with thoracic cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic, patients who were Black, had Medicaid, or were from a zip code with a high risk of cancer mortality had increased odds of unsuccessful telemedicine visits compared with their counterparts and unsuccessful telemedicinevisits were associated with worse clinical outcomes. These findings suggest that more work is needed to improve telemedicine access for disadvantaged patients.

About The Study: In this multi-institutional, cross-sectional study that included 885 residents, results suggest that surgical trainees perceived to be white were, on average, granted similar amounts of autonomy as trainees perceived to be African American or Black or Hispanic or Latinx. However, some gaps in autonomy emerged in the second year, when operative autonomy increases faster for trainees perceived to be white. By the end of residency, differences were no longer significant.

About The Study: This study of more than 350,000 adults in the United States did not find any significant difference in mortality rates between “weekend warriors” (those who performed the recommended levels of weekly physical activity in one to two sessions) and regularly active participants. Compared with those who were physically inactive, active participants (both “weekend warrior” and regularly active) had lower all-cause and cause-specific mortality rates.

EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE: 11 A.M. (ET), TUESDAY, JUNE 21, 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 beta carotene or vitamin E supplements for the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) or cancer and concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to make a recommendation about the use of multivitamin and single- or paired-nutrient supplements (other than beta carotene and vitamin E) for the prevention of CVD or cancer. According to National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data, 52% of surveyed adults reported using at least one dietary supplement in the prior 30 days and 31% reported using a multivitamin-mineral supplement. Inflammation and oxidative stress have been shown to have a role in both CVD and cancer, and dietary supplements may have anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects. This has served as a rationale for proposing dietary supplements as a means to prevent both CVD and cancer. The USPSTF routinely makes recommendations about the effectiveness of preventive care services, and this recommendation replaces and is consistent with its 2014 statement.

About The Study: Cases of Kawasaki disease (KD) fell in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic and remained low during the period of masking and school closure, findings that suggest that social behavior is associated with exposure to the agent(s) that trigger KD and are consistent with a respiratory portal of entry for the agent(s). Kawasaki disease is an illness of unknown cause that involves inflammation of the blood vessels and primarily affects young children.

About The Study: Researchers found that unemployment-related health insurance coverage loss during the COVID-19 pandemic was substantially higher in states that had yet to expand Medicaid, whereas expanded eligibility allowed Medicaid to potentially buffer households from periods without health insurance coverage owing to unanticipated job loss.

About The Study: In this telephone survey study of more than 1.4 million respondents in the U.S., the occurrence of clinically significant anxiety and depression increased only modestly overall in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, less than suggested by online surveys. However, this modest increase could mask more substantial increases in key population segments (such as first responders) and might have become larger in 2021 and 2022.
