Investigating the Salience of Clinical Meaningfulness and Clinically Meaningful Outcomes in Metastatic Breast Cancer Care Delivery.

Purpose: As metastatic breast cancer (mBC) treatment evolves, there is a need to understand how clinical meaningfulness, or a meaningful change in a patient's daily life, and clinically meaningful outcomes inform patient-centered care. Partnering with key stakeholders ensures patient-centered research incorporates the knowledge and expertise of advisors with lived experience. We describe a multistakeholder engagement approach to examine how people living with mBC (PLWmBC), caregivers, and health care providers interpret clinical meaningfulness and clinically meaningful outcomes and their influence on mBC treatment decision making and care.

Implementation of Community Health Worker Support for Tobacco Cessation: A Mixed-Methods Study.

Objective: Adults with serious mental illness have high rates of tobacco use disorder and underuse pharmacotherapy for tobacco cessation. In a previous randomized controlled trial, participants receiving community health worker (CHW) support and education for their primary care providers (PCPs) had higher tobacco abstinence rates at 2 years, partly because of increased initiation of tobacco-cessation pharmacotherapy. The authors aimed to determine the association between CHW-participant engagement and tobacco abstinence outcomes.

Implementation of Community Health Worker Support for Tobacco Cessation: A Mixed-Methods Study.

Objective: Adults with serious mental illness have high tobacco use disorder rates and underutilization of first-line tobacco cessation pharmacotherapy. In a randomized trial, participants offered community health worker (CHW) support and primary care provider (PCP) education had higher tobacco abstinence rates at two years, partly through increased tobacco cessation pharmacotherapy initiation. This study determined the association between participant-CHW engagement and tobacco abstinence outcomes.

Multiple Biologics for Multiple T2 Diseases: A Pharmacoepidemiological Algorithm for Sorting Out Patients by Indication.

Background: Several biologics (Bx) and targeted synthetic drugs (TSD) exist to treat T2 diseases, including chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), severe asthma (SA), chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) or atopic dermatitis (AD).

Objective: To identify patients treated with Bx/TSD from a dynamic dispensing database using an algorithm-based methodology.

Methods: We used the LRx database (Lifelink Treatment dynamics, IQVIA) which covers nearly 45% of the French retail pharmacies.
