A Comparison of the Performance of Six Surrogacy Models, Including Weighted Linear Regression, Meta-regression, and Bivariate Meta-Analysis.

Objectives: Several trial-level surrogate methods have been proposed in the literature. However, often only one method is presented in practice. By plotting trial-level associations between surrogate and final outcomes with prediction intervals and by presenting results from cross-validation procedures, this research demonstrates the value of comparing a range of model predictions.

Development and Validation of a Simplified Financial Toxicity Screening Tool for Use in Clinical Practice.

Purpose: Cancer-related financial toxicity occurs frequently and is a key driver of inequities in access to care and disparities in treatment outcomes. Current practices to screen for financial toxicity are inconsistent because of the lack of a validated and clinically integrated screening tool. This analysis aimed to create and assess an abbreviated version of the validated Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity (COST) tool, a measure of financial toxicity used for research purposes, which could easily be added into often-lengthy clinical screening workflows.

Closing Pediatric Asthma Care Gaps Through School-Based Telehealth: A Quality Improvement Initiative.

Background: Uncontrolled pediatric asthma leads to poorer outcomes; school-based telehealth (SBTH) is an opportunity to intervene.

Local Problem: The connection rate to primary care after SBTH visits for asthma exacerbations was below organizational goals. Additionally, there was a gap in assessing SBTH's role in providing access to rescue medication.
