Background: Cardiac Computed Tomography (CCT) is increasingly used to provide 2D, 3D and 4D information in patients with congenital heart disease of all ages. Historically, negotiated rates for professional and technical fees associated with cardiac imaging were confidential, with variability in professional, technical and global charges, reimbursement and cost to patients for the same current procedural terminology (CPT) code at different institutions. Billing transparency is a key component of both the CARE act passed in 2020 and the Health Care PRICE Transparency Act 2.

Socioeconomic characteristics and relapse-free and overall survival from childhood cancer - a nationwide study based on data from the Danish Childhood Cancer Registry.

Cancer Survivorship, Danish Cancer Institute, Copenhagen, Denmark; Department of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Copenhagen, Denmark; Department of Clinical Oncology & Palliative Care, Zealand University Hospital, Naestved, Denmark.

Background And Purpose: Over the past decades, childhood cancer survival has increased substantially in Europe, including Denmark. However, families with fewer social resources may have benefitted less from these improvements. In this nationwide register-based study, we assessed associations between parental socioeconomic position (SEP) and 5-year relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in childhood cancer patients.

Quantitative approaches to structural intersectionality research: Conceptual and methodologic considerations.

There has been a recent influx in the development of novel measures of structural forms of discrimination, including structural racism, xenophobia, sexism, heterosexism, and cisgenderism. These systems of power and oppression are inherently interdependent and mutually constitutive, yet a paucity of research has investigated their joint impacts; this gap is likely reflective of the limited guidance that exists regarding how to effectively combine multiple measures of structural discrimination to examine their joint impacts on population health and health inequities. In this commentary, we seek to redress this by describing conceptual and methodologic considerations for population health researchers interested in conducting quantitative structural intersectionality research - an intersectionality-informed research approach focused on examining how systems of power and oppression intersect to shape population health and health inequities.

Objective: This ancillary study's purpose is to describe the relationship between dose of treatment and body mass index (BMI) outcomes in a tele-behavioral health program delivered in the IDeA States Pediatric Clinical Trials Network to children and their families living in rural communities.

Methods: Participants randomized to the intervention were able to receive 26 contact hours (15 hr of group sessions and 11 hr of individual sessions) of material focused on nutrition, physical activity, and behavioral caregiver training delivered via interactive televideo. Dose of the intervention received by child/caregiver dyads (n = 52) from rural areas was measured as contact hours.
