Cardiovascular Disease Risk Among Older Asian, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islanders Lung Cancer Survivors.

Background: There may be heterogeneity in lung cancer-related outcomes for individuals who are Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islanders (ANHPI).

Objectives: The aims of this study were to investigate possible disparities in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk between ANHPI and Non-Hispanic White (NHW) lung cancer survivors and evaluate potential CVD risk factors.

Methods: A total of 3920 ANHPI and 11,760 NHW lung cancer patients aged 66 years and older were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-Medicare registry from 1999 to 2017.

Incident cardiovascular disease risk among older Asian, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander liver cancer survivors.

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a significant global health concern, particularly among Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (ANHPI) communities that face unique health challenges. Liver cancer disproportionately affects ANHPI populations and has intricate associations with CVD risks due to shared pathophysiological mechanisms and metabolic disturbances. However, the specific CVD risk profile of ANHPI liver cancer patients remains poorly understood.

Quality and Performance Measurement in Primary Diabetes Care: A Qualitative Study in Urban China.

Background: Quality measurements in primary healthcare (PHC) have become an essential component for improving diabetes outcomes in many high-income countries. However, little is known about their implementation within the Chinese health-system context and how they are perceived by patients, physicians, and policy-makers. We examined stakeholders' perceptions of quality and performance measurements for primary diabetes care in Shanghai, China, and analyzed facilitators and barriers to implementation.
