Division of Esophageal and Thoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, Sidney Kimmel Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Background: As value-based care models continue to gain emphasis, along with the need for improved profiling across the continuum of lung cancer care, a better understanding of geographic variation in utilization of services surrounding episodes of care is needed.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing lung cancer resection from 2017 to 2019, we examined geographic variation in utilization of services surrounding episodes of lung cancer resection. We utilized hierarchical logistic regression models to determine risk-adjusted utilization of services.

Department of Health Promotion and Health Behavior, Institute of Public Health, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Gondar, Gondar, Ethiopia.
Background: Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), remains a global health crisis, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, where high human immune virus (HIV) prevalence exacerbates the problem. The co-infection of TB and HIV creates a deadly combination, increasing susceptibility and complicating disease progression and treatment. Ethiopia, classified as a high-burden country, faces significant challenges despite efforts to reduce co-infection rates.

January 2025
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, School of Medicine, Stanford University, 401 Quarry Road, Stanford, CA, 94305, USA.
Background: Intermittent hypoxia, a consequence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), may contribute to an increased risk of cognitive decline. However, the association between SDB and cognition remains highly variable.
Methods: Fifty-two community-dwelling healthy older adults (28 women) were recruited.
Increased respiratory syncytial virus-associated hospitalizations and ambulatory visits in very preterm infants in the first year of life following discontinuation of access to palivizumab.
Am J Perinatol
January 2025
Pediatrics, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada.
Background: From 2002 to 2023, palivizumab was the only intervention to reduce RSV-associated hospitalizations in high-risk infants in Canada, but advances in RSV prevention are drastically changing this landscape. Eligibility criteria for this monoclonal antibody for preterm infants varied over time across each of 10 Canadian provinces and 3 territories. The national professional pediatric association (Canadian Paediatric Society) revised its eligibility recommendations in 2015, removing access for preterm infants 30 to 32 weeks gestation (WG).
