Article Synopsis
- Observational studies indicated that nontrauma centers were less likely to transfer insured injured patients to high-level trauma centers, leading to the investigation of insurance impact on transfer rates.
- The Affordable Care Act's dependent coverage provision, which allowed young adults to stay on their parents' insurance until 26, was utilized to explore changes in interhospital transfer rates.
- An analysis of data from the National Trauma Data Bank revealed no significant difference in transfer rates between younger and older patients before and after implementation of the dependent coverage provision, despite an increase in private insurance coverage among the younger cohort.
Background: Achieving a minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in patient-reported outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is common, yet up to 20% patient dissatisfaction persists. Unmet expectations may explain post-TKA dissatisfaction. No prior studies have quantified patient expectations using the same patient-reported outcome metric as used for MCID to allow direct comparison.

We sought to quantify the extent to which age-based heuristics drive decision-making.
Methods: We identified all Medicare beneficiaries from 2017-2018 with femoral neck fractures who underwent THA or HA.
Background: The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic led to frequent schedule changes, abbreviated seasons, and disrupted training at all levels of organized sports.
Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to investigate the epidemiology of sports-related injuries at a single National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I institution during the 2020 COVID lockdown season when compared with pre-COVID seasons. It was hypothesized that there would be an increase in the overall injury rate and an increase in the number of days missed because of injury during the 2020 season when compared with the previous seasons.
Background: Long-distance running is a popular form of cardiovascular exercise with many well-described health benefits, from improving heart health to the management of obesity, diabetes, and mental illness. The impact of long-distance running on joint health in recreational runners, however, remains inconclusive.
Hypothesis: The prevalence of osteoarthritis in runners is not associated with an athlete's running-related history, including the number of marathons completed, cumulative years of running, average weekly mileage, and average running pace.
