The Canadian/American regional group of the International Clinical Epidemiology Network (INCLEN) invites SGIM members to join in an international network dedicated to improving health in low and middle-income countries and reducing health disparities in North America-not only because many goals and activities of the 2 organizations are compatible such as evidence-based medicine, mentoring, and training; but because collaboration between SGIM and INCLEN could strengthen both groups. With increasing brain drain from the developing world to the North, there is an ever-increasing need for academic contributions from the North to swing the balance toward brain gain for the South. SGIM members have the academic expertise to make an important contribution to global health. Participation and contribution from SGIM members is welcomed at the individual or organizational level. We invite you to explore possible partnership and collaboration.

Coding intensity variation in Medicare Advantage.
Health Aff Sch
January 2025
Department of Health Care Policy, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, United States.
Enrollment in Medicare Advantage (MA) plans rose to over 50% of eligible Medicare patients in 2023. Payments to MA plans incorporate risk scores that are largely based on patient diagnoses from the prior year, which incentivizes MA plans to code diagnoses more intensively. We estimated coding inflation rates for individual MA contracts using a method that allows for differential selection into contracts based on patient health.

Aim: Develop entrustable professional activities (EPA) to support implementation and assessment of clinical care for SGIM's SGWH Core Competencies.

Article Synopsis
- The HOPE Trial is a multicenter randomized trial aimed at reducing chronic pain and opioid use in patients on maintenance hemodialysis for end-stage kidney disease.
- Phase 1 involves randomly assigning participants to either Pain Coping Skills Training (PCST) or Usual Care, while Phase 2 offers buprenorphine to those on high doses of opioid medications.
- The trial tracks outcomes like pain interference, hospitalizations, and mortality over 36 weeks, ultimately seeking to improve management strategies for chronic pain in this patient population.
Article Synopsis
- Updated data on chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) are essential for preventing and controlling these conditions as part of achieving the UN's goal of reducing premature mortality from non-communicable diseases by 2030.
- From 1990 to 2019, global, regional, and national estimates were analyzed for various CRDs, including COPD and asthma, to assess their impact on mortality, disability, and overall prevalence.
- In 2019, CRDs resulted in 4 million deaths and 454.6 million cases worldwide, with conditions like COPD being the leading cause of death among CRDs, despite a decline in age-standardized rates for most diseases over the period analyzed.
