Induction Versus Escalation in Multiple Sclerosis: A 10-Year Real World Study. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

Article Abstract

In this independent, multicenter, post-marketing study, we directly compare induction immunosuppression versus escalation strategies on the risk of reaching the disability milestone of Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) ≥ 6.0 over 10 years in previously untreated patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. We collected data of patients who started interferon beta (escalation) versus mitoxantrone or cyclophosphamide (induction) as initial treatment. Main eligibility criteria included an EDSS score ≤ 4.0 at treatment start and either ≥ 2 relapses or 1 disabling relapse with evidence of ≥ 1 gadolinium-enhancing lesion at magnetic resonance imaging scan in the pre-treatment year. Since patients were not randomized to treatment group, we performed a propensity score (PS)-based matching procedure to select individuals with homogeneous baseline characteristics. Comparisons were then conducted using Cox models stratified by matched pairs. Overall, 75 and 738 patients started with induction and escalation, respectively. Patients in the induction group were older and more disabled than those in the escalation group (p < 0.05). The PS-matching procedure retained 75 patients per group. In the re-sampled population, a lower proportion of patients reached the outcome after induction (21/75, 28.0%) than escalation (29/75, 38.7%) (hazard ratio = 0.48; p = 0.024). Considering the whole sample, serious adverse events occurred more frequently after induction (8/75, 10.7%) than escalation (18/738, 2.4%) (odds ratio = 3.36, p = 0.015). These findings suggest that, in patients with poor prognostic factors, induction was more effective than escalation in reducing the risk of reaching the disability milestone, albeit with a worse safety profile. Future studies are warranted to explore if newer induction agents may provide a more advantageous long-lasting risk:benefit profile.

Background: Early biologic intervention after diagnosis has shown improved clinical and endoscopic outcomes in patients with Crohn's disease (CD), while very little is known about the effectiveness of early versus late administration of Ustekinumab (UST).

Objectives: We aimed to compare early versus late UST use in managing CD and identify potential predictors associated with clinical and endoscopic outcomes.

Design: This was a retrospective observational study.

Introduction: The clinical benefits of fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol (FF/UMEC/VI) have been demonstrated in clinical trials. There is limited evidence regarding the effectiveness and economic outcomes associated with FF/UMEC/VI use in US clinical practice. This real-world study assessed asthma-related exacerbations, healthcare resource utilization (HRU), and healthcare costs among a Medicare Advantage-insured population before and after initiation of FF/UMEC/VI in patients with asthma previously treated with an inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting β-agonist (ICS/LABA).

Background: The Surprise Question (SQ) - Would you be surprised if this patient died within the next 6 months? - is a validated tool for mortality prediction. The Mount Sinai Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) incorporated the SQ into a novel EHR workflow to identify patients who would benefit from early initiation of Palliative Care (PC).

Methods: Implementation of the SQ proceeded in two steps.

BACKGROUND In several studies, the presence of Howell-Jolly body-like inclusions within neutrophils has been observed in cases of HIV infection, SARS-CoV-2 infection, post-transplant immunosuppression, and during chemotherapy or antiviral therapy. The phenomenon of neutrophils exhibiting Howell-Jolly body-like inclusions on peripheral blood smears can be attributable to viral infections or the pharmacological effects of medications. CASE REPORT A 14-year-old male patient who had received a diagnosis of lymphoblastic leukemia a year ago underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and was readmitted due to a recurrence of gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).

The housed environment for dairy cattle is of critical importance to their health, wellbeing, and productivity. Lack of space is an important factor for housing quality assessment due to links with increased likelihood of disease. A recently published randomized controlled trial identified that greater living space provision increased lying time, milk volume production, and also increased time to conception.
