Introduction: Adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) represent a heterogeneous and growing population with high healthcare utilization. We sought to understand the association between insurance type, healthcare use, and outcomes among adults with CHD in Oregon.
Methods: The Oregon All Payers All Claims database from 2010 to 2017 was queried for adults aged 18-65 in 2014 with ICD-9 or 10 codes consistent with CHD; patient demographics, comorbidities, healthcare use, and disease severity were identified.
Background: Emergency department (ED) use is common among patients with Medicaid insurance during pregnancy. However, it is unknown how ED utilization differs among those with different types of Medicaid such as Emergency Medicaid, with which access to outpatient care is more restricted.
Objective: We sought to compare differences in ED use during between pregnant persons with Emergency Medicaid and Traditional Medicaid and pregnancy outcomes by ED utilization.

Background: Opioid naïve older adults may be at risk of overdose after receiving an initial opioid prescription.
Methods: This population-based cohort study from a linked dataset of patients in Oregon, linking all payer claims data to other administrative datasets, aimed to assess the prescription- and patient-level characteristics associated with increased odds of opioid overdose after an initial opioid prescription. Included patients were ≥65 years old and received an index pain-formulation opioid prescription between 2016 and 2019.

Background: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement Advanced (BPCIA) Model that covers 90-day care episodes after select orthopedic procedures including anatomic or reverse ball-and-socket total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA/rTSA). This study investigated whether patients undergoing TSA/rTSA for non-degenerative processes incur higher costs than patients undergoing arthroplasty for degenerative processes.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of all patients at a single academic medical center enrolled in the BPCIA model for TSA/rTSA from October 1, 2018, through December 31, 2022.

Objectives: To examine how risk of hospitalization among assisted living (AL) residents differs by dual enrollment in Medicare and Medicaid and by the percent of dually enrolled individuals in an AL community.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting And Participants: We used Medicare data from 2008 to 2018 and a national directory of licensed AL communities to identify Medicare beneficiaries with a change in their ZIP+4 code suggesting a new residence in an AL.
