Cost-effectiveness of Telephone-Delivered Education and Behavioral Skills Intervention for African American Adults with Diabetes
CONCLUSION: The combined intervention ICER for HbA1c is comparable to other education programs and the ICER to reduce the probability of complications falls below previously recommended long-term cut-off of $100,000, suggesting cost-effectiveness in an African American population.PMID:33883862 | PMC:PMC8054865 | DOI:10.18865/ed.31.2.217

Imaging test may predict patients most at risk of some heart complications from COVID-19
(Johns Hopkins Medicine) Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine have shown that a type of echocardiogram, a common test to evaluate whether a person's heart is pumping properly, may be useful in predicting which patients with COVID-19 are most at risk of developing atrial fibrillation -- an irregular heartbeat that can increase a person's risk for heart failure and stroke, among other heart issues.

POSA199 Risk of Cardiovascular Events after Streptococcus Pneumoniae Infections: Life Study
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a common cause of diseases such as community-acquired pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis across all age groups. In Japan, routine pneumococcal vaccinations are carried out for children aged ≤5 years and older persons aged ≥65 years due to their higher risk of infection. Acute S. pneumoniae infections are reported to elevate the risk of subsequent cardiovascular events such as coronary heart disease, heart failure, arrhythmia, and stroke. In order to generate evidence for the develo pment of optimal vaccination strategies, this study analyzed the effects of S.

EE352 Projecting the Incidence and Costs of Major Cardiorenal Complications of Type 2 Diabetes with Widespread GLP-1 RA and SGLT2I Use
Whether glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) or sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are cost-effective when considering solely their cardiorenal benefits is unknown. We projected the incidence and costs of hospitalisation for myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and heart failure (HF), and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) among people with type 2 diabetes under scenarios of widespread use of these drugs, from an Australian healthcare perspective.

Use of hospital services by patients with chronic conditions in sub-Saharan Africa: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Among patients seeking hospital care in sub-Saharan Africa, multimorbidity remains poorly described despite high burdens of individual chronic diseases. Prospective public health studies of multimorbidity burden are needed to generate integrated and context-specific health system interventions that act to maximize patient survival and well-being.PMID:37638357 | PMC:PMC10452942 | DOI:10.2471/BLT.22.289597
