Context: Approximately 11% of cancer survivors smoke postdiagnosis.
Objectives: Understanding the relationship between smoking and perceived cancer-related symptoms may inform tobacco treatment interventions for this population.
Methods: From 2017 to 2021, 740 adults in 9 ECOG-ACRIN trials provided baseline data.

J Am Med Inform Assoc
February 2025
Objectives: To quantify utilization and impact on documentation time of a large language model-powered ambient artificial intelligence (AI) scribe.
Materials And Methods: This prospective quality improvement study was conducted at a large academic medical center with 45 physicians from 8 ambulatory disciplines over 3 months. Utilization and documentation times were derived from electronic health record (EHR) use measures.
Objective: This study evaluates the pilot implementation of ambient AI scribe technology to assess physician perspectives on usability and the impact on physician burden and burnout.
Materials And Methods: This prospective quality improvement study was conducted at Stanford Health Care with 48 physicians over a 3-month period. Outcome measures included burden, burnout, usability, and perceived time savings.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores how U.S. physicians' control over their clinical work impacts burnout and their career intentions.
- It found that poor control over factors like patient load, team composition, and workload is linked to higher burnout and intentions to reduce work hours or leave their jobs.
- The researchers note that while their findings highlight important relationships, the cross-sectional design limits the ability to determine cause and effect.
