Venous thromboembolism mortality and trends in older US adults, 2011-2019

Katherine Giorgio, Rob F. Walker, Richard F. MacLehose, Diego Adrianzen-Herrera, Wendy Wang, Alvaro Alonso, Neil A. Zakai, Pamela L. Lutsey

Summary: The study evaluated contemporary post-VTE mortality risk profiles and trends in the United States, finding that the all-cause mortality risk following incident VTE has slightly decreased in the last decade, but racial and socio-economic disparities persist. The study also identified higher risks among non-White beneficiaries and those with low socio-economic status, as well as higher risks for cancer-related VTE events. Understanding mortality patterns among demographic subgroups and in cancer-associated events is important for targeted efforts to improve VTE management.

Current trends in US general surgery practice consolidation

Scott T. Anderson, Jacob B. Hammond, Jacob S. Hogan, Jordan R. Pollock, Varun Jain, James A. Madura

Summary: This study evaluates current trends in consolidation of general surgery practices using data from the CMS Physician Compare database. The results show that while the number of practicing general surgeons has slightly increased, there has been a significant decline in the number of unique general surgery practices. The study also found that smaller practices have decreased, while larger practices have grown. The consolidation trend is significant at both the individual surgeon and unique practice levels, with the Midwest region showing the highest degree of consolidation.

Trends in Post-Acute Care in US Nursing Homes: 2001-2017

Rachel M. Werner, Zachary Templeton, Nate Apathy, Meghan M. Skira, R. Tamara Konetzka

Summary: Recent trends show that post-acute care has become increasingly concentrated in a subset of nursing homes over the past two decades, with for-profit, chain-affiliated facilities being more likely to provide such care. These facilities with higher specialization levels have seen a significant increase in Medicare admissions per bed, while also showing a tendency to serve a less diverse population in terms of race and Medicaid enrollment.

Association of erythropoietin resistance and fibroblast growth factor 23 in dialysis patients: Results from the Japanese Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study

Tomoko Usui, Junhui Zhao, Douglas S. Fuller, Norio Hanafusa, Takeshi Hasegawa, Hiroshi Fujino, Takanobu Nomura, Jarcy Zee, Eric Young, Bruce M. Robinson, Masaomi Nangaku

Summary: In this study of 1044 haemodialysis patients, higher levels of FGF23 were associated with younger age, higher levels of various serum markers, and increased risks of ESA-hypo. The relationship between FGF23 and anaemia, particularly the elevated risks of ESA-hypo at low FGF23 levels, requires further confirmation in larger clinical studies.
