Medicare Coverage Increases Odds of In-Hospital Mortality but Lack of Insurance Increases Odds of Poor Functional Outcome by Modified Rankin Score (mRS) (P2.138)
CONCLUSIONS:Medicare patients have greater odds of in-hospital mortality compared to uninsured, private, and VA patients, though uninsured patients had the highest odds of poor functional outcome on discharge. Further studies are needed to determine whether coverage is a stronger predictor of admission or in-hospital variables to determine if the observed outcome differences are more associated with variance in admission or in-hospital care.Disclosure: Dr. Friedant has nothing to disclose.

As some hail new antibody treatment for Alzheimer ’s, safety and benefit questions persist
In a packed San Francisco conference room with a celebratory atmosphere, upbeat company representatives and scientists yesterday presented detailed clinical trial data on the first Alzheimer’s treatment shown to clearly, albeit modestly, slow the disease’s normal cognitive decline. The antibody therapy has buoyed a field marked by decades of failures. Now, it appears to be on the cusp of being greenlit by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Yet other researchers warn of potential risks, including brain swelling and brain hemorrhages that were linked to the recently disclosed deaths of two trial participants wh...

Characteristics of Accredited Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound Laboratories in the United States
CONCLUSIONSThe results suggest that there are significant differences between IAC applicant laboratories and laboratories represented by Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) claims data. In addition, accurate study reporting, physician training, and ongoing quality improvement activities may not be optimized in laboratories applying for accreditation. With the information learned from this study, educational strategies by professional organizations, including the IAC, can be tailored to help improve TCD practice.
