Prevalence and characteristics of medication sharing behavior in a pediatric Medicaid population with asthma
Few studies have examined sharing or borrowing of nonaddicting prescription medications,1–7 and no study has looked at this behavior in patients with asthma. We hypothesized that medication sharing or borrowing would be common in families with children with asthma and be associated with worsened asthma control. We undertook this investigation to describe features surrounding this behavior and examine its effect on adverse asthma outcomes.

Factors Associated with Intention to Receive Influenza and Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Acellular Pertussis (Tdap) Vaccines during Pregnancy: A Focus on Vaccine Hesitancy and Perceptions of Disease Severity and Vaccine Safety
This study has some important limitations. Since data were collected by self-report and not verified with medical records or vaccine registry data, there is potential for recall bias. Any recall bias which may have been introduced is assumed to have been non-differential with respect to characteristics likely to be associated with intention to receive antenatal influenza and/or Tdap vaccines. Additionally, while we excluded women who indicated having received an influenza and/or Tdap vaccine before completing her baseline survey, some women enrolled from intervention arm practices could have been exposed to the vaccine pro...

What does Medicare pay rhinologists? An analysis of Medicare payment data
ConclusionThe wide availability of Medicare payment information makes it important for physicians to understand how their individual data compares to that of their colleagues. Medicare payments to rhinologists were comparable to otolaryngologists as a whole. Charges for services commonly performed by rhinologists vary widely. Academic rhinologists submitted fewer claims than their private colleagues, but overall charges and payments were comparable between the 2 groups.
