Comorbidity Among Adults With Epilepsy - United States, 2021-2022.

While it is known that epilepsy often co-occurs with psychiatric disorders, few studies have examined nonpsychiatric comorbidity. We analyzed 2021 and 2022 National Health Interview Survey Sample Adult data. Compared with adults with no epilepsy, the 1.

Arthritis Management: Patient-Reported Health Care Provider Screening, Counseling, and Recommendations for Physical Activity.

Introduction: Little is known about the recency, correlates, and content of health care provider (HCP) counseling about physical activity (PA) among adults with arthritis.

Methods: We analyzed data from the Porter Novelli FallStyles cross-sectional survey of noninstitutionalized US adults. Among adults with arthritis, we assessed the recency of HCP counseling about PA; counseling content, including PA assessment/screening and advice/counseling; and recommendations.

Hospital-level variation in cardiac rehabilitation metrics.

Background: To inform the delivery of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) care nationwide at the hospital level, we described hospital-level variation in CR metrics, overall and stratified by the hospital's tier of cardiac care provided.

Methods: This retrospective cohort analysis used Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) data (2018-2020), Parts A and B, and American Hospital Association (AHA) data (2018). We included beneficiaries with an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in 2018, aged ≥65 years, and continuously enrolled in a FFS plan.

History of COVID-19 and Overall Survival Among Medicare Beneficiaries Hospitalized with Acute Ischemic Stroke, Medicare Cohort 2020-2021.

Background: COVID-19 is associated with increased risk of Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS). The present study examined the impact of prior COVID-19 diagnoses on overall survival among older AIS patients.

Methods: We included 250,079 Medicare Fee-For-Service (FFS) beneficiaries aged ≥65 years with AIS hospitalizations from 04/01/2020 through 12/31/2021.

Acute stroke care coordination in the United States: Variation in state laws for Emergency Medical Services and hospitals.

Background: Lack of care coordination between Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and hospitals contributes to delay of acute stroke (AS) treatment. In the United States, states have adopted laws to improve the quality of EMS and hospital care; the degree to which these laws create regulatory incentives to promote care coordination between them is less well known. We examined state variation in attributes of laws that may influence AS care coordination between EMS and hospitals.

Nonuse of Contraception at Conception Due to Partner Objection and Pregnancy-Related Health Care Utilization, Postpartum Health, and Infant Birth Outcomes.

Reproductive coercion has been associated with adverse reproductive health experiences. This study examined the relationship between nonuse of contraception due to partner objection, one aspect of reproductive coercion, and selected pregnancy-related outcomes. We used 2016-2020 data from the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System in 22 jurisdictions to assess the prevalence of nonuse of contraception due to a partner objection by select characteristics among individuals with a recent live birth who reported an unintended pregnancy.

Abortion Surveillance - United States, 2022.

Problem/condition: CDC conducts abortion surveillance to document the number and characteristics of women obtaining legal induced abortions and the number of abortion-related deaths in the United States.

Period Covered: 2022.

Description Of System: Each year, CDC requests abortion data from the central health agencies for the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and New York City.

Pregnancy-Related Mortality Due to Cardiovascular Conditions: Maternal Mortality Review Committees in 32 U.S. States, 2017 to 2019.

Background: Cardiomyopathy (CM) and other cardiovascular conditions (OCVs) are among the most frequent causes of pregnancy-related death in the United States.

Objectives: The purpose of this paper was to report demographic and clinical characteristics, preventability, contributing factors, and Maternal Mortality Review Committee (MMRC) recommendations among pregnancy-related deaths with underlying causes of CM, OCVs, and the 2 combined (cardiovascular conditions, CV).

Methods: We analyzed pregnancy-related death data from MMRCs in 32 states, occurring during 2017 to 2019, with MMRC-determined underlying causes of CVs.

Utility of the 2019 EULAR/ACR SLE classification criteria for predicting mortality and hospitalisation: development and cross-validation of ominosity score.

Objective: The 2019 European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR)/American College of Rheumatology (ACR) systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) classification criteria score (≥20 points) has been associated with poor outcomes. We aimed to evaluate its utility as a predictor for mortality and hospitalisation and to derive and validate an ominosity score based on the SLE classification criteria set.

Methods: Incident patients with SLE in a population-based cohort were included.

Telemedicine Use Among Adults With and Without Diagnosed Prediabetes or Diabetes, National Health Interview Survey, United States, 2021 and 2022.

We analyzed 2021 and 2022 National Health Interview Survey data to describe the prevalence of past 12-month telemedicine use among US adults with no prediabetes or diabetes diagnosis, diagnosed prediabetes, and diagnosed diabetes. In 2021 and 2022, telemedicine use prevalence was 34.1% and 28.

Who Gets a Code for Obesity? Reliability, Use, and Implications of Combining International Classification of Diseases-Based Obesity Codes, 2014-2021.

Many studies rely on the International Classification of Diseases, 9th or 10th Revision, Clinical Modification codes to define obesity in electronic health records data. While prior studies found misclassification and low sensitivity of codes for pediatric obesity, it remains unclear whether this misclassification is random and what are the implications of combining different code types to define obesity. We assessed prevalence, sensitivity, and specificity of obesity codes among 7.

Patterns and Differences in Lung Cancer Treatment: United States, 2015-2020.

Background: Treatment for lung cancer can improve prognosis, but 5-year survival remains low at 26%. An examination of treatment using data with higher population coverage, and among a broader number of treatment modalities and individual characteristics, would provide greater insight into differences in lung cancer treatment.

Research Question: Among adults diagnosed with lung cancer, how does reported receipt of lung cancer treatment differ by sociodemographic characteristics?

Study Design And Methods: We used 2015-2020 National Program of Cancer Registry data covering 89% of the US population to describe first-course treatment among people aged ≥ 20 years and diagnosed with lung and bronchus cancer.
