Purpose: To evaluate the precision of bag-in-the-lens intraocular lens (BIL IOL) power calculation in different age groups of pediatric cataract patients.
Settings: Department of Ophthalmology, Justus-Liebig-University Giessen, University Hospital Giessen and Marburg GmbH, Campus Giessen, Giessen, Germany.
Design: Retrospective nonrandomized consecutive case series.
Methods: Pediatric patients diagnosed with cataract and operated with BIL IOL implantation were divided into 4 age groups: Group 1 (0 to 3 months), Group 2 (>3 months, <12 months), Group 3 (12 to 36 months), and Group 4 (>36 months to 17 years). BIL IOL power was calculated with the SRK/T formula. The prediction error (PE) was defined as the absolute difference between the preoperative selected target and postoperative achieved refraction. The impact of age at the time of surgery, axial length (AL), keratometry, and corneal astigmatism on PE was analyzed.
Results: The study comprised 87 eyes of 56 pediatric patients. The mean and median PEs for the entire group were 1.79 diopters (D) and 1.23 D, respectively. The mean PE in each age group was: 3.43 D in Group 1, 2.14 D in Group 2, 1.60 D in Group 3, and 1.33 D in Group 4. The mean PE in eyes with ALs shorter than 20 mm was 2.67 D, and 1.44 D in eyes with an AL of 20 mm or longer. The mean PE in eyes with corneal radii less than 7.3 mm was 2.45 D, and 1.66 D in eyes with corneal radii of 7.3 mm or more. In the age and AL subgroups, the PE differences were statistically significant (P < .05).
Conclusions: The PE was larger in the youngest study group, and it decreased gradually with age and in eyes with ALs shorter than 20 mm. The PE has to be considered during BIL IOL power calculation in children.

Sex Differences in Long COVID.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Cleveland, Ohio.
Importance: A substantial number of individuals worldwide experience long COVID, or post-COVID condition. Other postviral and autoimmune conditions have a female predominance, but whether the same is true for long COVID, especially within different subgroups, is uncertain.
Objective: To evaluate sex differences in the risk of developing long COVID among adults with SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Medicaid Spending in Coordination-Only Dual-Eligible Special Needs Plans.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Department of Population Health Sciences, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, North Carolina.
Importance: More than 4 million Medicare beneficiaries have enrolled in dual-eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs), and coordination-only D-SNPs are common. Little is known about the impact of coordination-only D-SNPs on Medicaid-covered services and spending, including long-term services and supports, which are financed primarily by Medicaid.
Objective: To evaluate changes in Medicaid fee-for-service (FFS) spending before and after new enrollment in coordination-only D-SNPs vs new enrollment in non-D-SNP Medicare Advantage (MA) plans among community-living beneficiaries enrolled in both Medicare and North Carolina Medicaid.
External Validation of the Walter Index for Posthospitalization Mortality Prediction in Older Adults.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Division of Geriatrics, School of Medicine, University of California San Francisco.
Importance: The Walter Index is a widely used prognostic tool for assessing 12-month mortality risk among hospitalized older adults. Developed in the US in 2001, its accuracy in contemporary non-US contexts is unclear.
Objective: To evaluate the external validity of the Walter Index in predicting posthospitalization mortality risk in Brazilian older adult inpatients.
Cerebral Microbleeds and Amyloid Pathology Estimates From the Amyloid Biomarker Study.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Alzheimer Center Limburg, Department of Psychiatry and Neuropsychology, School for Mental Health and Neuroscience, Maastricht University, Maastricht, the Netherlands.
Importance: Baseline cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) and APOE ε4 allele copy number are important risk factors for amyloid-related imaging abnormalities in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD) receiving therapies to lower amyloid-β plaque levels.
Objective: To provide prevalence estimates of any, no more than 4, or fewer than 2 CMBs in association with amyloid status, APOE ε4 copy number, and age.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This cross-sectional study used data included in the Amyloid Biomarker Study data pooling initiative (January 1, 2012, to the present [data collection is ongoing]).
