Objectives. To characterize the association between social needs prevalence and no-show proportion variation in these associations among specific needs. Methods. In this study, we used results from a 10-item screener conducted across 19 primary care practices large urban health system Bronx County, New York, April 2018 July 2019. We estimated unmet 2-year history of missed appointments 41 637 patients by using negative binomial regression models. Results. The overall appointment was 26.6%....
Dronedarone and sotalol are antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) recommended in similar populations per atrial fibrillation (AF) guidelines; however, comparative safety data limited. The goal of this study was to assess the dronedarone vs for treatment AF AAD-naive patients. This a prespecified noninterventional meta-analysis 4 retrospective observational cohort studies from databases (Optum Clinformatics Data Mart, Merative MarketScan, Veterans Health Administration Electronic Record, Swedish...
Introduction/Objectives: Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to major health complications, and significantly contributes diabetes-related morbidity, mortality, healthcare costs. Few studies have examined the relationship between unmet social needs control among predominantly Black Hispanic patient populations. Methods: In a large urban hospital system in Bronx, NY, 5846 unique patients with seen at primary care visit April 2018 December 2019 completed screener. Measures included (categorized as...
To compare outcomes in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) suboptimally controlled basal insulin who initiated treatment iGlarLixi or premixed insulin.This retrospective real-world analysis was conducted using data from (age ≥ 18 years) T2D the US Optum Clinformatics database had previously received and newly insulin. Cohorts were propensity-score matched on baseline characteristics a greedy nearest neighbour-matching algorithm, assessed at 12 months. Subgroup analyses performed for those aged...
Objectives There has been renewed focus on health systems integrating social care to improve outcomes with relatively less related research focusing ‘real-world’ practice. This study describes a system’s experience from 2018 2020, following the successful pilot in 2017, scale needs screening of patients within large urban primary ambulatory network. Setting Academic medical centre an network 18 practices located county New York City (USA). Participants retrospective, cross-sectional used...
Background When type 2 diabetes is suboptimally controlled with basal insulin, prandial insulin injections are commonly added (i.e., a basal-bolus regimen), which can increase treatment burden and hypoglycemia risk. The once-daily injectable iGlarLixi an alternative treatment. Methods This retrospective analysis of the U.S. Optum Clinformatics database compared outcomes in adults (≥18 years age) who previously received were newly initiated on or therapy. Cohorts propensity score–matched 1:1...
Objective. To examine the value of optical spectral transmission (OST) in detecting joint inflammation patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to evaluate whether OST correlates certain patient characteristics. Methods. measurements were performed metacarpophalangeal, proximal intraphalangeal, wrist joints 168 RA 114 controls. difference between 2 groups was statistically examined subsequently controlled for effect possible confounding factors. Diagnostic performance tested by...
To date, there is little information on the sustainability of family planning (FP) service quality after completion a donor-funded program. This paper examines Nigerian Urban Reproductive Health Initiative (NURHI) program FP services in two cities: Ilorin, where ended March 2015 and Kaduna continued. Data come from three time periods: 2011, before implementation; 2014, near Phase 1 completion; 2017, two-years post 1. In we undertook facility audit provider surveys all public sector...
Abstract Background Optical spectral transmission (OST) is a modern diagnostic modality, able to assess the blood-specific absorption of light transmitted through tissue, promising quantification inflammation in finger and wrist joints patients with arthritis. To date, there are no adequate data regarding value OST evaluation inflammatory activity changes, during arthritis follow-up. Objectives this study were therefore examine performance assessing response anti-inflammatory therapy active...
To develop and validate a composite rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity index using optical spectral transmission (OST) scores obtained with the HandScan, replacing tender swollen joint counts.RA patients from single center routinely undergoing HandScan measurements at least 1 concurrent OST score Disease Activity Score in 28 joints (DAS28) were included. Data extracted medical records. Linear regression analyses DAS28 as outcome performed to create (DAS-OST). score, erythrocyte...
This study compared the prevalence of chronic pediatric health conditions for youth in public housing with not using clinical electronic record (EHR) and data. Youth (ages 2-17 years) a large urban system were identified categorized into two types-public (n = 10 770) 84 883) by age (young childhood, middle young adolescence). The some was higher but varied age. Disparities among more common early adolescence: asthma (26.4 vs 18.6; P < .001); obesity (28.5 24.6; depression/anxiety (19.2 17.3;...
We have read with great interest the letter of Verhoeven, et al, 1 referring to our recent publication on diagnostic value optical spectral transmission (OST) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). 2 In work we had described for first time, knowledge, that OST values could be influenced not only by disease-associated factors (i.e., inflammatory activity) but also patient-associated characteristics, such as sex, BMI, and age. Moreover, showed patients RA higher than controls was associated clinical,...
<h3>Background</h3> Valid assessment of disease activity leads to improvement long-term outcomes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (1). Clinical tools such as the Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28) are partially subjective and do not always depict real inflammatory burden. Ultrasound (US) Hand-MRI important diagnostic modalities which can nevertheless be time consuming (US, MRI), expensive (MRI) or usually performed unilaterally (MRI). Thus, further needed. Optical spectral...
Background: Valid assessment of disease activity leads to outcome improvement in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (1). Optical spectral transmission (OST) is a modern diagnostic tool able assess the blood-specific absorption light transmitted through tissue, promising quantification inflammation finger and wrist joints RA (commercial device: HandScan - Hemics, The Netherlands) (2). Objectives: To our knowledge, there are no data regarding value OST evaluation inflammatory changes...
