To estimate the costs and outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) recipients based on the use of mobile cardiac outpatient telemetry (MCOT) monitoring. A retrospective database study was conducted to estimate costs, contribution margins (CMs), pacemaker insertions and other outcomes for patients undergoing TAVR procedures with MCOT monitoring post-procedure versus non-MCOT monitoring. A total of 4164 patients were identified (283 MCOT monitoring and 3881 non-MCOT monitoring).

Background: Hypoglycemia prognostic models contingent on prospective, self-reported survey data offer a powerful avenue for determining real-world event susceptibility and interventional targets.
Objective: This protocol describes the design and implementation of the 1-year iNPHORM (Investigating Novel Predictions of Hypoglycemia Occurrence Using Real-world Models) study, which aims to measure real-world self-reported severe and nonsevere hypoglycemia incidence (daytime and nocturnal) in American adults with type 1 or 2 diabetes mellitus prescribed insulin and/or secretagogues, and develop and internally validate prognostic models for severe, nonsevere daytime, and nonsevere nocturnal hypoglycemia. As a secondary objective, iNPHORM aims to quantify the effects of different antihyperglycemics on hypoglycemia rates.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on the glycaemic management of Americans with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, focusing on self-reported experiences among insulin users and secretagogue takers, regardless of infection status.
- Data were collected from a cross-sectional survey involving 667 participants aged 18-90, revealing significant challenges in managing diabetes during the pandemic, including difficulties affording housing and maintaining adequate food resources, which contributed to therapeutic non-adherence and reduced monitoring.
- Results indicated that nearly 25% of respondents had poor glycaemic control (A1c values ≥8.1%), with increased rates of hypoglycaemia and notable struggles in accessing
Article Synopsis
- The study explored the early experiences of nusinersen, a treatment for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), from both patient and caregiver perspectives, using a comprehensive online survey.* ! -
- Respondents generally expressed satisfaction, particularly with improvements in energy and motor function, though concerns were raised about treatment administration and insurance approval issues.* ! -
- The findings highlighted ongoing challenges in accessing treatment and the need for more therapeutic options, as significant unmet needs for SMA patients persist despite advancements.* !
Background: Social media have been increasingly adopted by health agencies to disseminate information, interact with the public, and understand public opinion. Among them, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is one of the first US government health agencies to adopt social media during health emergencies and crisis. It had been active on Twitter during the 2016 Zika epidemic that caused 5168 domestic noncongenital cases in the United States.
