Agricultural researchers are increasingly encouraged to engage with stakeholders to improve the usefulness of their projects, but iterative research on the design and assessment of stakeholder engagement is scarce. The USDA Long-Term Agroecosystem Research (LTAR) Network recognizes the importance of effective engagement in increasing the utility of information and technologies for future agriculture. Diverse stakeholders and researchers at the Kellogg Biological Station (KBS) LTAR site co-designed the KBS LTAR Aspirational Cropping System Experiment, a process that provides a testing ground and interdisciplinary collaborations to develop theory-driven assessment protocols for continuous stakeholder engagement.

The aim was to characterize the costs of care for patients with cirrhosis and compare them to other chronic diseases such as heart failure (HF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), for which the public health burden is better recognized.
Approach: Patients enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans from a large national insurer between 2011-2020 with cirrhosis, HF, and COPD were identified by ICD-9/-10 codes.
Evaluation of Peer Review of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Operator Performance.
Circ Cardiovasc Qual Outcomes
January 2025
Background: Case-based peer review of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is used by many hospitals for quality improvement and to make decisions regarding physician competency. However, there are no studies testing the reliability or validity of peer review for PCI performance evaluation.
Methods: We recruited interventional cardiologists from 12 Veterans Affairs Health System facilities throughout the United States to provide PCI cases for review.
Article Synopsis
- - Cirrhosis affects 2 to 5 million Americans, with most patients experiencing compensated cirrhosis, yet many can develop serious complications that severely shorten life expectancy.
- - Identifying high-risk patients with compensated cirrhosis is crucial for improving their care and directing them to specialty treatment, as not all patients receive this level of care.
- - This pilot study identified 209 differentially expressed proteoforms in the plasma of cirrhosis patients at various stages, highlighting potential biomarkers that could help in early diagnosis and risk assessment.
Background & Aims: Cirrhosis-related inpatient hospitalizations have increased dramatically over the past decade. We used a longitudinal dataset capturing a large metropolitan area in the United States from 2011 to 2021 to evaluate contemporary hospitalization rates and risk factors among frail patients with cirrhosis.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective, longitudinal cohort study using the Chicago Area Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Network (CAPriCORN) database, an electronic health record repository that aggregates de-duplicated data across 7 health care systems in the Chicago metropolitan area, from 2011 to 2021.
