Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the benefits of increasing lung cancer screening rates for high-risk individuals and its effects on health disparities, using a model based on data from 2017-2019.
- - Findings revealed that compliance with screening guidelines was higher among low-income and less-educated groups, while increasing screening to 100% could yield a cost-effective benefit of $64,654 per quality-adjusted life-year and $182.1 billion in total economic value for the U.S.
- - The analysis highlighted that up to 32.2% of this economic value comes from reductions in health disparities, suggesting that policymakers and clinicians might overlook important benefits when they don't factor in these disparities in their decisions.
Background: Children with musculoskeletal infection in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) prevalent communities are often treated with oral clindamycin. Current guidelines recommend approximately 40 mg/kg/d for MRSA infections. This study investigates the clinical practice of using 30 mg/kg/d of clindamycin as an alternative for outpatient dosing.
