Purpose: Oral adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) reduces the risk of cancer recurrence and death for women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer. Because of adverse symptoms and socioecologic barriers, AET adherence rates are low. We conducted post hoc analyses of a randomized trial of a remote symptom and adherence monitoring app to evaluate characteristics associated with higher app use, satisfaction, and how app use was associated with AET adherence.

There is a noticeable gap in research regarding symptom management for patient-caregiver dyads, particularly using technology-based tools.
Objective: This study aimed to describe the needs and perceptions of patient-caregiver dyads regarding a technology-based tool to manage their multiple symptoms.
Ontology extension by online clustering with large language model agents.

October 2024
Article Synopsis
- An ontology is a framework that organizes concepts and relationships in a specific area, crucial for understanding in fields like computational linguistics and knowledge representation.
- This paper introduces a method to automatically expand an existing ontology using streaming data without needing extensive labeled data or specialized knowledge, particularly in the medical domain.
- The method utilizes Large Language Models for tasks like identifying medical symptoms from online patient discussions and classifying these symptoms into the ontology, demonstrating effective real-time integration and minimal reliance on human input.
African American patient populations are disproportionately diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) compared to non-Hispanic white adults. Research suggests a link between OSA and anxiety. However, OSA and anxiety symptoms may present differently across minority groups.

Objective: Examine the association between primary care visit modality with timeliness and follow-up in-person healthcare, including variation by visits with the patient's own PCP versus another PCP.
Design And Participants: Cohort study including primary care visits in a large, integrated delivery system in 2022.
