We examine economic convergence among euro area countries on multiple dimensions. While there was nominal of inflation and interest rates, real per capita income levels has not occurred the original members since advent common currency. Income stagnated in early years currency reversed wake global crisis. New members, contrast, have seen convergence. Business cycles became more synchronized, but amplitude those diverged. Financial showed a similar pattern: sychronizing over time, with...
Abstract Intricate links between aquatic animals and their environment expose them to chemical pathogenic hazards, which can disrupt seafood supply. Here we outline a risk schema for assessing potential impacts of microbial hazards on discrete subsectors aquaculture—and control measures that may protect As national governments develop strategies achieve volumetric expansion in production from aquaculture meet increasing demand, propose an urgent need simultaneous focus controlling those...
Previous randomized controlled trials have demonstrated benefit from remote symptom monitoring (RSM) with electronic patient-reported outcomes. However, the racial diversity of enrolled patients was low and did not reflect real-world proportions for individuals cancer.
Abstract Background Patients with cancer living in rural areas have inferior outcomes; however, studies examining this association use varying definitions of “rural,” complicating comparisons and limiting the utility results for policy makers future researchers. Methods Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results data (2000-2016) were used to assess risk mortality from any cause across 4 rurality: Urban Influence codes (UIC), National Center Health Statistics (NCHS), Rural-Urban continuum...
PURPOSE Estimation of the independent effect rurality on cancer mortality requires causal inference methodology and consideration area-level socioeconomic status rural designations. METHODS Using SEER data, we identified key incident cancers diagnosed between 2000 2016 at age ≥20 years (N = 3,788,273), examining a 20% random sample (n 757,655). Standardized competing risk survival models estimated association residence, defined by Rural-Urban Continuum Codes, cancer-specific all-cause...
It has long been assumed that academic oncology practices are disadvantaged in value-based payment programs, due to patient complexity and research costs. This assumption not tested. The Oncology Care Model (OCM) was a Medicare alternative model, which sought curb costs while improving care. We assessed the impact of clinical trial (CT) participation on two outcomes: 1. cost 2. practice performance among three participating NCI designated cancer centers using random effects meta-analysis....
Remote symptom monitoring (RSM) using electronic patient-reported outcomes enables patients with cancer to communicate symptoms between in-person visits. A better understanding of key RSM implementation is crucial optimize efficiency and guide efforts. This analysis evaluated the association severity alerts time response by health care team.This secondary included women stage I-IV breast who received at a large academic medical center in Southeastern United States (October 2020-September...
Abstract Background Symptoms in patients with advanced cancer are often inadequately captured during encounters the healthcare team. Emerging evidence demonstrates that weekly electronic home-based patient-reported symptom monitoring automated alerts to clinicians reduces utilization, improves health-related quality of life, and lengthens survival. However, oncology practices have lagged adopting remote into routine practice, where specific patient populations may unique barriers. One...
Many patient population groups are not proportionally represented in clinical trials, including patients of color, at age extremes, or with comorbidities. It is therefore unclear how treatment outcomes may differ for these compared those who well-represented trials.This retrospective cohort study included women diagnosed stage I-III breast cancer between 2005 and 2015 the national CancerLinQ Discovery electronic medical record-based data set. Patients comorbidities concurrent were considered...
Abstract Background Despite Medicare coverage, financial hardship is a prevalent issue among those diagnosed with cancer at age 65 years and older, particularly belonging to racial or ethnic minority group. Sociodemographic, clinical, area‐level factors may mediate this relationship; however, no studies have assessed the extent which these contribute racial/ethnic disparities in hardship. Methods Surveys assessing were completed by 721 White (84%) Black (16%) patients (aged older) who breast...
Multiple treatment options exist for patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). However, limited information is available on the impact of prior duration and class survival outcome novel therapies, such as cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HR+ HER2-) MBC.This study used a nationwide, de-identified electronic health record-derived database to identify women HR+ HER2- MBC who received at least one...

Abstract BACKGROUND: Rural areas experience 7-12% higher risk of obesity-related cancer mortality compared to their urban counterparts. Complex interactions between social and structural factors in rural areas, combined with limited access healthy foods lower income, warrant further study understand drivers this disparity. Methods: County-level rates age-adjusted per 100,000 (2009-2020 were obtained from the Centers for Disease Control Prevention’s Wide-Ranging ONline Data Epidemiologic...
328 Background: Disparities in pain management for Black patients with cancer are well-documented, but less is known about other symptom clusters like gastrointestinal (GI), respiratory, and urinary symptoms. This study assessed racial disparities electronically reported among White enrolled a Remote Symptom Monitoring (RSM) program. Methods: Patients at the University of Alabama Birmingham (UAB) Mitchell Cancer Institute (MCI) symptoms weekly using Patient Reported Outcomes version Common...
138 Background: Black patients with cancer report higher pain intensity for both consistent and breakthrough pain. Remote symptom monitoring (RSM) using electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) allows to communicate symptoms between visits. This study evaluated whether there were racial disparities in severity reporting among White utilizing RSM ePROs. Methods: retrospective analyzed data from 1453 undergoing treatment who utilized an platform the completion of weekly PRO-CTCAEs surveys...
250 Background: Electronic patient reported outcomes (ePROs) enable patients to report symptoms from treatment in real time using their mobile device. This analysis sought better understand the trajectory of via remote symptom monitoring (RSM) during for with lung cancer. Methods: We approached cancer initiating at Mitchell Cancer Institute (MCI) between March 2022-October 2023 participate an RSM program. Patients were eligible if they (chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy) first...
349 Background: Financial burden among older cancer survivors (65y+) is understudied, particularly with regard to how comorbidities may affect financial and healthcare utilization despite Medicare eligibility. We assessed the relationship between hardship (FH), utilization, survivors. Methods: The University of Alabama at Birmingham tumor registry was used identify patients diagnosed ≥65y lymphoma, breast, colorectal, prostate, or lung types received curative-intent treatment from 2000 2019....
377 Background: Previous randomized controlled trials have demonstrated benefits to patients from remote symptom monitoring (RSM) with electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) including healthcare utilization. However, less is known about the impact of RSM in diverse, real-world populations. Methods: This cross-sectional analysis a hybrid, type 2 implementation-effectiveness trial evaluated on utilization amongst cancer receiving chemotherapy, immunotherapy, monoclonal antibody, or...
