Long-term health benefit and economic return of time in range (TIR) improvement in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
Diabetes Obes Metab
January 2025
Department of Pharmaceutical Outcomes and Policy, College of Pharmacy, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA.
Objective: Time in range (TIR) is an important metric to measure variability of blood glucose levels. The aim is to quantify the long-term health benefits and economic return associated with improved TIR for individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Method: A Markov model with three states (T2D, T2D with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and death) estimated 20-year medical costs, quality-adjusted life-years (QALY) gained and CVD risk under four TIR scenarios: >85%, 71%-85%, 51%-70% and ≤50%.
Risk factors for serious postoperative complications following gastrectomy in super-elderly patients ≥85-years-old with gastric cancer: A National Clinical Database study in Japan.
Ann Gastroenterol Surg

The Japanese Society of Gastroenterological Surgery Tokyo Japan.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the safety and feasibility of gastrectomy in patients aged 85 and older with gastric cancer.
- It analyzed data from over 10,000 patients who underwent distal or total gastrectomy to identify risks for serious postoperative complications.
- Key risk factors included physical health indicators like body mass index, daily living activities, and past medical history, highlighting the need for careful assessment beyond just tumor characteristics.
[Integration of physician assistants into primary care: Acceptance and concerns among general practitioners].

December 2024
Institut für Allgemeinmedizin, Medizinische Fakultät, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Essen, Deutschland. Electronic address:
Background: Strategies to counteract the impending and in some places already existing shortage of general practitioners (GPs) are being discussed in Germany. One approach could be to establish interprofessional teams in GP practices by integrating physician assistants (PAs).
Question: Can GPs imagine employing a PA in their practice and if so, under what conditions?
Methods: In March/April 2023, about 5,000 GPs in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), who work in a region with a care level of < 100 %, and about 1,000 GPs from Saxony-Anhalt were asked to take part in an online-based survey.
Revisiting cost-effectiveness of folic acid supplementation in primary stroke prevention in China: considering vitamin B12 deficiency masking issue.
BMC Public Health
December 2024
School of Public Health, LKS Faculty of Medicine, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR, China.
Objectives: To identify the cost-effectiveness of four policy options related to folic acid supplements after considering the side effects of masking vitamin B12 (B12) deficiency in primary stroke prevention for hypertensive patients in China.
Study Design: A cost-effectiveness analysis.
Methods: Four policies were considered: Policy A, Do nothing to address folate status in hypertensive patients at risk for stroke; Policy B, Folate supplementation without pre-screening for vitamin B12 deficiency; Policy C, Folate supplementation with pre-screening all patients for B12 deficiency and add B12 supplements if B12 is deficient; and Policy D, Folate supplementation only for those whose folate is deficient, pre-screen all patients for both B12 and folate deficiencies and add B12 supplements if B12 is deficient.
Abortion care preferences and trade-offs when traveling out-of-state for facility-based services: findings from a discrete choice experiment.
BMC Health Serv Res
December 2024
Resound Research for Reproductive Health, Austin, TX, USA.
Background: Pregnant people living in states that banned abortion after the US Supreme Court's decision overturning Roe v Wade (Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization -Dobbs decision) may evaluate multiple factors when deciding where to obtain facility-based abortion care in another state. We examine Texans' stated preferences for out-of-state facility-based abortion care and quantify the trade-offs they would make when choosing between out-of-state facilities following a 2022 abortion ban.
Methods: In August 2022, we surveyed Texans ≥ 16 years old seeking abortion at in-state facilities or who were searching online for information about accessing abortion care.
