Article Synopsis
- This study focused on the use of oral anticoagulants (OACs) like apixaban and warfarin for preventing recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) after hospital discharge, using data from July 2016 to December 2022.
- Of the 19,303 patients examined, around 70% continued their anticoagulant therapy after leaving the hospital, but over half either switched medications or stopped taking them within six months.
- The study found lower rates of discontinuation and recurrent VTE among patients using apixaban compared to those using warfarin, suggesting apixaban may be more effective for long-term management.
Objective: Meningococcal serogroup B (MenB) vaccination is recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) for adolescents and young adults 16-23-years-old under shared clinical decision-making (SCDM). However, MenB vaccination coverage in this population remains low in the United States (US). We investigated the awareness, attitudes, and practices regarding MenB disease and vaccination among parents of 16-18-year-old older adolescents and among 19-23-year-old young adults.
