To assess the relationship between glycemic control, pre-eclampsia, and gestational hypertension in women with type 1 diabetes.Pregnancy outcome (pre-eclampsia or hypertension) was assessed prospectively 749 from randomized controlled Diabetes Pre-eclampsia Intervention Trial (DAPIT). HbA(1c) (A1C) values were available up to 6 months before pregnancy (n = 542), at first antenatal visit (median 9 weeks) 721), 26 weeks' gestation 592), 34 519) categorized as optimal (<6.1%: referent), good...

Despite increasing importance ultrasound, there is a shortage sonographers United States that has never been specifically quantified. This study examines recent trends exams, sonography graduates, open sonographer positions, and wages. Methods retrospective uses public databases surveys including Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS), Bureau Labor Statistics (BLS), Integrated Postsecondary...

Study Design. Scoping review. Objective. The objective of this study was to conduct a scoping review exploring the extent which preference sensitivity has been studied in treatment decisions for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS), utilizing shared decision-making (SDM) as proxy. Background. Preference-sensitive care involves situations where multiple options exist with significant tradeoffs cost, outcome, recovery time, and quality life. LSS gained research focus preference-sensitive scenario....
Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are among most costly in the U.S, with a significant portion of CVD patients unable to afford care. Use health savings accounts (HSA) increase financial for medical expenditures is controversial. While HSA have shown not decrease expenditures, impact on remains unknown. Methods: This cross-sectional study used data from Medical Expenditure Panel Survey 2014-19 and included aged 18-64 who reported having at least one (i.e., hypertension, angina,...
Background: Hypertension (HTN) is an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease that disproportionately affects adults in low-resource communities. We examined hypertension prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control—the HTN control cascade—in neighborhoods Chicago, Illinois. Methods: Using data from Keep Your Heart Healthy, a Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine student-led community health program, we evaluated convenience sample who completed three blood pressure (BP)...

Introduction: Socioeconomic factors impact access to healthcare and patient care, particularly for patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Understanding the differences in utilization financial burden among CVD is essential developing targeted interventions policies improve care reduce of CVD.

Introduction: American Heart Association’s (AHA) Life’s Essential 8 (LE8) is a framework for quantifying cardiovascular health (CVH). Prior studies have focused on individuals without clinical disease (CVD). We sought to examine recent trends in LE8 scores among older adults with prevalent CVD. Methods: included non-institutionalized US (ages 65+) from NHANES (2013-18). Overall (range 0-100; higher = better CVH) were calculated all participants or CVD, using methods recommended by the AHA....
