2021 Alzheimer's disease facts and figures
This article describes the public health impact of Alzheimer's disease (AD), including incidence and prevalence, mortality and morbidity, use and costs of care, and the overall impact on caregivers and society. The Special Report discusses the challenges of providing equitable health care for people with dementia in the United States. An estimated 6.2 million Americans age 65 and older are living with Alzheimer's dementia today. This number could grow to 13.8 million by 2060 barring the development of medical breakthroughs to prevent, slow or cure AD.

Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Outcomes among Medicaid and Privately Insured Patients with Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the most common inherited hemoglobin disorder affecting approximately 100,000 people in the United States (U.S.), a majority of whom are Black/African American, with an incidence rate of 1 in every 365 births.1 SCD is a chronic health condition associated with acute painful vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC), acute chest syndrome (ACS), stroke, chronic organ damage and culminates in a life expectancy that is less than half that of the general American population.2-4

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the most common inherited hemoglobin disorder, affecting approximately 100,000 people in the United States, a majority of whom are Black/African American, with an incidence rate of 1 in every 365 births [1]. SCD is a chronic health condition associated with acute painful vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC), acute chest syndrome (ACS), stroke, and chronic organ damage and culminates in a life expectancy that is less than one-half that of the general American population [2 –4].

COVID-19 Exposed the Faults in America ’s Elder Care System. This Is Our Best Shot to Fix Them
For the American public, one of the first signs of the COVID-19 pandemic to come was a tragedy at a nursing home near Seattle. On Feb. 29, 2020, officials from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Washington State announced the U.S. had its first outbreak of the novel coronavirus. Three people in the area had tested positive the day before; two of them were associated with Life Care Center of Kirkland, and officials expected more to follow soon. When asked what steps the nursing home could take to control the spread, Dr. Jeff Duchin, health officer for Seattle and King County, said he was working w...

Adverse Cardiovascular Events Following Severe Maternal Morbidity
Am J Epidemiol. 2021 Aug 3:kwab208. doi: 10.1093/aje/kwab208. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSevere maternal morbidity (SMM) affects 50,000 women annually in the US, but its consequences are not well understood. We aimed to estimate the association between SMM and risk of adverse cardiovascular events during the 2 years postpartum. We analyzed 137,140 deliveries covered by Pennsylvania Medicaid, 2016-2018, weighted with inverse probability of censoring weights to account for nonrandom loss to follow-up. SMM was defined as any of the CDC list of diagnoses and procedures and/or intensive care unit admission occurring at any p...

Expansion of Transcarotid Artery Revascularization to Standard Risk Patients for Treatment of Carotid Artery Stenosis
Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) is currently reimbursed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for treatment of medically and anatomically high-risk patients. TCAR has been found to be associated with equivalent stroke/death outcomes compared with carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for high-risk patients. However, the safety profile of TCAR in standard-risk patients is currently not well-defined and has limited its expansion of use in this patient population.
