Article Synopsis
- Income-based disparities in hip fracture treatment and outcomes were examined across six high-income countries, revealing that lower-income individuals generally faced worse health outcomes.

- Overall, high-income patients experienced shorter hospital stays, lower readmission rates, and quicker surgery times, highlighting the significant impact of income on healthcare quality and access for older adults with hip fractures.
Introduction: Adagrasib is an upcoming anticancer treatment for KRAS G12C-mutated non-small-cell lung carcinoma, colorectal cancer and potentially other solid tumors harboring this mutation. It is generally well-tolerated and reports of neurological adverse events so far have been limited.
Case Presentation: We present to our best knowledge the first case of a 70-year-old woman who was admitted with polyradiculitis as a treatment-related complication of adagrasib.
