We examined the reach, engagement effectiveness lifestyle change programs (LCP) modelled after Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) a multistate, real-world setting. Methods Longitudinal, non-randomized study comparing in-person LCP large multistate sample delivered over 1 year. Sample included at-risk adults ( n = 26,743) referred to 9) 11) CDC-recognized from multi-state registry (California,...
The FDA approves many devices on the basis of similarity to precursors, possibly encouraging development slightly improved, higher-cost devices. A modeling approach can illuminate interplay among efficacy and durability, patient characteristics, costs, outcomes.
Bridging non-communicable disease burden research to clinical care: A rising tide or a tidal wave?To the Editor: There is an increased focus on diseases (NCDs) in low-and middle-income countries.

Abstract Objective: We examined the use of comprehensive and targeted polymerase chain reaction (PCR) Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) among immunocompetent patients with without CDI risk factors across different outpatient settings. A priori, we expected higher to be associated testing reflect providers incorporating pretest in their choice test assay. Design: Retrospective analysis adult from clinic, emergency room, non-medically acute inpatient Setting: tertiary academic medical...
