Introduction: rearranged advanced NSCLC (aNSCLC) represents 4% of all NSCLCs, and multiple ALK-targeted therapies (ALK-inhibitors) are now available for use. Little is known about changes in treatment patterns, or how prognostic factors and sequence of therapy may impact overall survival in the real-world setting. We aim to describe initial and subsequent treatments used, survival outcomes, prognostic factors, and the impact of treatment on overall survival in the largest (N = 739) real-world cohort of patients with ALK+ aNSCLC reported in the literature.

Aims: International guidelines have recommended the use of echocardiography and natriuretic peptides (NP) testing in the diagnostic evaluation of heart failure (HF) for more than 10 years. However, real-world utilization of these diagnostic tests in the US is not known. We sought to assess contemporary trends in echocardiography and NP testing for diagnosing HF in the US.

Objective: Comparative effectiveness research can inform treatment decisions regarding the choice of biologics for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFis) and non-TNFis (nTNFis) in real-world patients with RA and past TNFi experience.
Methods: Comparative Effectiveness Registry to study Therapies for Arthritis and Inflammatory Conditions (CERTAIN) was nested within the United States Corrona registry.

Introduction: Laboratory test interferences can cause spurious test results and patient harm. Knowing the frequency of various interfering substances in patient populations likely to be tested with a particular laboratory assay may inform test development, test utilization and strategies to mitigate interference risk.
Methods: We developed REACTIR (Real Evidence to Assess Clinical Testing Interference Risk), an approach using real world data to assess the prevalence of various interfering substances in patients tested with a particular type of assay.

Introduction: Although clinical guidelines are broadly available, the relationship between adherence and outcomes is not well studied. This study aimed to assess the association between adherence to National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines and clinical outcomes for adult patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (aNSCLC).
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of adult patients with aNSCLC (stages IIIB, IIIC, and IV) from a de-identified real-world database.
