The Effect of Extending the Window to Disenroll From Medicare Advantage Among Post-Acute Users.
Med Care Res Rev
January 2025
Department of Health Policy, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, TN, USA.
Post-acute care users in Medicare Advantage (MA) plans may seek coverage changes if facing issues with plan benefits. In 2019, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services extended the deadline to disenroll from an MA plan from February 14 to March 31 and, for the first time, permitted beneficiaries to switch to a different MA plan instead of traditional Medicare. Using 2016-2019 Medicare administrative data, we implemented a difference-in-differences approach to evaluate the impact of this policy on disenrollment from a plan within 1 month of initiating skilled nursing facility or home health services.

F1000Res
January 2025
German Center for Mental Health (DZPG), partner site München/Augsburg, Munich, Germany.
Background: Muscarinic receptor agonism and positive allosteric modulation is a promising mechanism of action for treating psychosis, not present in most D2R-blocking antipsychotics. Xanomeline, an M1/M4-preferring agonist, has shown efficacy in late-stage clinical trials, with more compounds being investigated. Therefore, we aim to synthesize evidence on the preclinical efficacy of muscarinic receptor agonists and positive allosteric modulators in animal models of psychosis to provide unique insights and evidence-based information to guide drug development.

Purpose: The purpose of this quality improvement project was to determine whether hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) could be prevented by implementing an educational tool kit for patient care technicians (PCTs).
Participants And Setting: Data were collected from 24 PCTs and 43 patients in a 26-bed inpatient adult acute care unit at an academic medical center in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States.
Approach: Outcome data were collected over an 8-week period from September to November 2021.
The community optometry workforce in Scotland: supporting sustainable eye care delivery.
Eye (Lond)
January 2025
Centre for Sustainable Delivery, Planned Care Team, NHS Golden Jubilee, Clydebank, UK.
Background: In early 2024, NHS Scotland published community optometrist workforce and activity data at a national level for the first time in the UK. These data are now over two years old, and anecdotal reports suggest changes amongst optometrists' work-patterns post-pandemic. To identify if that data continues to be reflective of the community optometrist workforce, the aim of this paper is to provide equivalent data for 2022 and 2023.

Department of Cardiology, Copenhagen University Hospital - Rigshospitalet, Inge Lehmanns Vej 7, 2100, Copenhagen, Denmark. Electronic address:
Background: Screening for atrial fibrillation is rising and may worsen or improve quality of life.
Methods: We assessed quality of life (EQ-5D-5L) data in 6,004 participants with stroke risk factors randomised to usual care (n=4,503) or implantable loop recorder with anticoagulation upon detection of atrial fibrillation (n=1,501). Five domains (mobility, selfcare, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression) each scored from one to five were calculated into individual index scores (worst=-0.
