Purpose: Teclistamab is initiated with a step-up dosing (SUD) schedule to mitigate the risk of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). Early teclistamab users commonly received SUD in a hospital setting. This study aimed to evaluate safety and health care resource utilization (HRU) in real-world patients with multiple myeloma who initiated teclistamab SUD in an outpatient setting.

We also evaluate the comparative effectiveness of sotrovimab versus no treatment in preventing severe clinical outcomes.
Methods: This observational retrospective cohort study analyzed Mayo Clinic electronic health records.
Background: Early diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension (PH) is critical for effective treatment and management. We aimed to develop and externally validate an artificial intelligence algorithm that could serve as a PH screening tool, based on analysis of a standard 12-lead ECG.
Methods: The PH Early Detection Algorithm (PH-EDA) is a convolutional neural network developed using retrospective ECG voltage-time data, with patients classified as "PH-likely" or "PH-unlikely" (controls) based on right heart catheterisation or echocardiography.
Background: As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination campaign unfolds, it is important to continuously assess the real-world safety of Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-authorized vaccines. Curation of large-scale electronic health records (EHRs) enables near-real-time safety evaluations that were not previously possible.
Methods: In this retrospective study, we deployed deep neural networks over a large EHR system to automatically curate the adverse effects mentioned by physicians in over 1.
