The Effect of Season of Birth on Atopic Dermatitis and Food Allergy
Food allergy (FA) and atopic dermatitis (AD) are more common among children born in fall, with a meta-analysis finding a significant odds ratio (OR) of 1.16 comparing fall to spring birth.2 However, studies have been performed in ethnically homogenous populations in Asia and Europe, with mixed results. To our knowledge, the association of AD with season of birth has not been replicated in the U.S. We used nationwide Medicaid claims data to examine the effect of season of birth on FA and AD, examining whether any effect continued throughout childhood and whether it differed by race.

‘This Is Really Life or Death.’ For People With Disabilities, Coronavirus Is Making It Harder Than Ever to Receive Care
Jeiri Flores is normally a busy, upbeat 29-year-old. But amid the COVID-19 pandemic, her go-to thought has been dark. “If I get this,” she thinks, “I’m gonna die.” This is not an unfounded fear. Flores has cerebral palsy, uses a wheelchair and needs assistance with everyday tasks, including making food and getting dressed.

Factors associated with clinical care for food allergy among Medicaid enrolled U.S. children
Although racial and ethnic disparities in the use of food allergy (FA)-related services have been documented, little is known about access to services among children in the Medicaid program. The purpose of this study is to measure the utilization of FA-related services and identify factors associated with appropriate care among Medicaid-enrolled U.S. children with FA.

A Qualitative Exploration of Food Allergy Management among a Medicaid-Insured Population
Previous quantitative studies suggest that food allergy (FA) management outcomes are suboptimal among low-income pediatric populations. However, no qualitative studies to date have attempted to comprehensively characterize barriers to optimal FA management within these communities. Therefore, this study aims to (a) identify barriers to providing proper FA management and acute care to Medicaid-insured FA children in Chicago and (b) understand the impact of these barriers on affected families.

Medicaid Expansion, Health Insurance Coverage, and Cost Barriers to Care Among Low-Income Adults with Asthma: The Adult Asthma Call-Back Survey
In 2014, 26 states and Puerto Rico expanded Medicaid eligibility to include more low-income adults ( “Medicaid expansion jurisdictions”, or MEJ); asthma-related impacts are unknown. We investigated health insurance coverage (HIC) and cost barriers to care (CBTC) before and after 2014 among low-income adults with asthma (LIAA), comparing MEJ to non-MEJ.

Economic implications of localization strategies for cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea
ConclusionThis work advocates HRCT as first ‐line modality to localize CSF rhinorrhea from a cost perspective. Although algorithms beginning with MRC were on average $35 more expensive than those starting with CTC, associated risks of CTC were not modeled and may play a role in decision making.
