Article Abstract

Objectives: Superior labrum anterior posterior (SLAP) tears can cause shoulder pain, disability, instability, and humeral head translation. YouTube has become an increasingly popular source of medical information, but little is currently known in terms of quality control of the uploaded content. The purpose of this study was to assess the quality of YouTube videos related to the diagnosis and treatment of Superior Labrum Anterior Posterior (SLAP) tears.

Methods: YouTube was queried in August 2021 using the two predetermined keywords: 'SLAP tear' and 'superior labral tear.' The first 50 videos were analyzed by two independent reviewers and scored using 3 scoring systems: Global Quality Scale (GQS), the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), and the Shoulder-Specific Score (SSS) to determine video accuracy and reliability. Title, number of views, video duration, video source, content type, views/day, number of likes, number of dislikes, days since upload, like ratio (Like × 100/ [Like + Dislike]) and Video Power Index (VPI) (Like ratio × View ratio/100) were all recorded and analyzed.

Results: The scores of most videos were low, with a mean JAMA score of 2.5 (1-4, SD 0.73), a mean GQS of 2.66 (0.5-4.5, SD 0.99) and a mean SSS of 7.13 (0-18, SD 4.39). There were significantly higher mean scores for JAMA, GQS, and SSS in the academic and independent physician categories, with a mean JAMA score of 3.11, GQS score of 3.39, and SSS score of 11 for academic sources and a mean JAMA score of 2.83, GQS score of 3.23, and SSS score of 9.23 for independent physician sources. JAMA score was significantly and positively correlated with video duration (r = 0.405, p = 0.006). Views, likes, dislikes, publication dates, and VPI were not significantly correlated with any scoring scale.

Conclusion: YouTube videos on the diagnosis and management of SLAP tears have low overall quality and reliability scores. Independent physician and academic institution sources received higher mean scores for JAMA, GQS, and SSS. Video quality was not correlated with number of views.

Coding intensity variation in Medicare Advantage.

Health Aff Sch

January 2025

Department of Health Care Policy, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, United States.

Enrollment in Medicare Advantage (MA) plans rose to over 50% of eligible Medicare patients in 2023. Payments to MA plans incorporate risk scores that are largely based on patient diagnoses from the prior year, which incentivizes MA plans to code diagnoses more intensively. We estimated coding inflation rates for individual MA contracts using a method that allows for differential selection into contracts based on patient health.

Importance: Hurricanes are associated with a wide range of adverse health effects in the general population and are increasing in frequency and severity due to global climate change. Due to prior military exposures and distinct sociodemographic characteristics, US veterans may be more vulnerable than the general population to negative health effects of hurricanes.

Objective: To evaluate whether acute care mental health visits among US veterans were associated with exposure to hurricanes.

Anthropometric Trajectories in Children Prior to Development of Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

JAMA Netw Open

January 2025

Center for Molecular Prediction of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Department of Clinical Medicine, Aalborg University, Copenhagen, Denmark.

Importance: Poor nutrition and growth in childhood have short-term and long-term consequences, so understanding the timing of the onset of an impaired nutritional status is crucial for diagnosing and treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) at its earliest stage.

Objective: To assess anthropometric trajectories before a pediatric diagnosis of IBD and growth recovery after diagnosis.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This population-based cohort study included children born in Denmark from January 1, 1997, through December 31, 2015, with weight and length or height measurements at birth and at least 1 length or height and weight measurement at school age based on the Danish Medical Birth Register and the Danish National Child Health Register.

Importance: Opioid use disorder (OUD) impacts millions of people worldwide. Prior studies investigating its underpinning neural mechanisms have not often considered how brain signals evolve over time, so it remains unclear whether brain dynamics are altered in OUD and have subsequent behavioral implications.

Objective: To characterize brain dynamic alterations and their association with cognitive control in individuals with OUD.

Importance: Older adults often require specialized health care expertise, but the effects of geriatrics-focused models of primary care have not been fully evaluated.

Objective: To compare the effects of geriatrics-focused primary care vs traditional primary care for older patients in the Veterans Affairs (VA) health care system.

Design, Setting, And Participants: In this cohort study, geriatrics-focused primary care and traditional primary care patient dyads matched on variables associated with geriatrics-focused primary care entry and outcomes were enrolled from VA medical centers with operational geriatrics-focused primary care clinics serving 500 or more patients annually in fiscal year 2016.
