State Medicaid programs have implemented initiatives to expand treatment coverage for opioid use disorder (OUD); however, some still require prior authorizations (PAs) filling buprenorphine prescriptions.To evaluate the changes in OUD among enrollees states that completely removed PA requirements.This retrospective cross-sectional study analyzed immediate and trend on during 2013 2020 associated with removal of requirements using a controlled interrupted time series analysis account...
Importance Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) or its receptor (anti-CGRP mAbs) offer effective migraine-specific preventive treatment. However, concerns exist about their potential cardiovascular risks due to CGRP blockade. Objective To compare the incidence of disease (CVD) between Medicare beneficiaries with migraine who initiated anti-CGRP-mAbs vs onabotulinumtoxinA in US. Design, Setting, and Participants This retrospective, sequential cohort...
Increasing gabapentinoid use has raised concerns of misuse and abuse in the United States (US). Little is known about characteristics general clinical practice over time. This cross-sectional study used data from National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey. We examined trends patient prescriber diagnoses associated with US ambulatory care visits involving gabapentinoids for adult 2003 to 2016. Using multivariable logistic regression, we estimated adjusted proportion gabapentinoid-involved among...
Little is known about economic and productivity loss by severity of asthma. We investigate health-care utilization, direct medical costs, indirect costs due to from asthma severity.We conducted a cross-sectional analysis the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey database (2010-2017) patients with aged ≥12 years categorized them into mild, moderate, severe groups based on symptom control medications. Study outcomes included asthma-related absenteeism. used zero-inflated Poisson regression models...
Little is known about opioid and gabapentinoid (OPI-GABA) use duration dose patterns' associations with adverse outcome risks. We examined between OPI-GABA trajectories subsequent drug overdose.
Rural clinical schools and regionally based medical have a major role in expanding the rural workforce. The aim of this cohort study was to compare location practice graduates from University Tasmania School Medicine's larger cities Hobart Launceston (UTAS SoM), with those who spent at least 1 year Clinical smaller regional city Burnie RCS) Australia. Specifically, quantify proportion worked an Australian or remote location, towns within Tasmania.The 2014 locations all UTAS SoM RCS between...
We examined trends in management of headache disorders United States (US) emergency department (ED) visits. conducted a cross-sectional study using 2007−2018 National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey data. included adult patient visits (≥18 years) with primary ED discharge diagnosis headache. classified medications by pharmacological group: opioids, butalbital, ergot alkaloids/triptans, acetaminophen/nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antiemetics, diphenhydramine,...

Little information is known about the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and patient's preference values by severity asthma. We evaluated HRQOL health utility impairment associated with asthma using SF-12 SF-6D.We conducted a cross-sectional analysis 2010-2016 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey database patients aged ≥18 years categorized them into mild, moderate, severe Study outcomes included physical component summary (PCS) mental (MCS) for measuring SF-6D utility. regression models...
Health system data incompletely capture the social risk factors for drug overdose. This study aimed to improve accuracy of a machine-learning algorithm predict opioid overdose by integrating human services and criminal justice with health claims determinants risk. prognostic included Medicaid beneficiaries (n = 237,259) in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania enrolled between 2015 2018, randomly divided into training, testing, validation samples. We measured 290 potential predictors (239 derived...
Objective: The effects of all-oral direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and liver-related all-cause mortality were assessed among Medicaid beneficiaries with hepatitis C virus (HCV). Subjects: This cohort study used 2013–2019 Arizona data from HCV aged 18–64 years. Methods: Risks HCC compared between patients or without DAA treatment, stratified by liver disease severity, using inverse probability treatment weighted multivariable Cox proportional hazards...
One-third of opioid (OPI) overdose deaths involve concurrent benzodiazepine (BZD) use. Little is known about and use (OPI-BZD) most associated with risk. We aimed to examine associations between OPI-BZD dose duration trajectories, subsequent OPI or BZD in US Medicare.Retrospective cohort study.US Medicare.Using a 5% national Medicare data sample (2013-16) fee-for-service beneficiaries without cancer initiating prescriptions, we identified 37 879 (age ≥ 65 = 59.3%, female 71.9%, white 87.6%,...
