Article Synopsis
- Hyperkinetic biliary dyskinesia (HBD) is a condition characterized by a gallbladder ejection fraction (EF) of ≥80% that is often overlooked and has unclear symptoms and management strategies.
- In a study of 1,997 patients who underwent HIDA scans, 36.6% were found to have HBD, but only a small percentage were reported as hyperkinetic, and most patients who had surgery experienced symptom improvement.
- Referral for cholecystectomy often comes from primary care physicians, with the majority of procedures being elective and minimally invasive; however, patients not showing improvement after surgery frequently had chronic gastrointestinal issues.
Objectives: To assess access to abortion pills offered by clinics providing state-funded family planning services in California.
Methods: We attempted to make two scripted calls to a 20% random sample of family planning clinics in California, stratified by county, as "secret shoppers" in 2020 and 2021.
Results: Clinic staff responded to 407 calls.
