AI Article Synopsis
- Many people in the U.S. with chronic hepatitis C (HCV) don't know they have it or aren't receiving care.
- A program was developed specifically for Alaska Native patients to improve management of HCV.
- This program utilized a computerized registry and statewide liver clinics, achieving an impressive 86% linkage to care, significantly higher than the national estimate of about 25%.
Article Abstract
Most persons with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in the United States are undiagnosed or linked to care. We describe a program for the management of Alaska Native patients infection utilizing a computerized registry and statewide liver clinics resulting in higher linkage to care (86%) than national estimates (~25%).

Alzheimers Dement

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, NJ, USA.
Background: Characterizing changes in cognitive function during the last years of life is vital for providing appropriate care, supporting quality of life, and planning for future demands on our medical and social resources. The aim of this project was to construct a cognitive function trajectory file spanning the last five years of life to better understand common patterns of cognitive aging.
Method: The analytic cohort included 2019 Medicare decedents, aged 50 or older at death, with five years of continuous enrollment before death (n = 1,952,408).

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, NJ, USA.
Background: Dramatically varying estimates of survival time following an initial diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias have been reported across different studies. The prevalence of dementia increases with age while survival time decreases with increasing age at diagnosis. This study aimed to investigate how survival time after a diagnosis of dementia varies by sex, race/ethnicity, and age at time of diagnosis.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research, Portland, OR, USA.
Background: Some evidence suggests the effect of APOE genotype on dementia risk may vary by race/ethnicity and genetic ancestral background. We evaluated APOE genotype and associated dementia risk by genetic ancestry, with a focus on expanding research among participants with non-European ancestry.
Method: The Kaiser Permanente Research Bank (KPRB), one of the largest biobanks in the US, enrolled members of an integrated health system, collected genotyping and health surveys and link to electronic health records (EHR).
Background: Prior research has established a relationship between hearing loss (HL) and cognitive decline. However, this association remains unclear in the American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) population. Given the high prevalence of subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and HL in the AI/AN population, exploring this relationship is crucial.
