Heat warnings, mortality, and hospital admissions among older adults in the United States
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that heat alerts are not associated with lower risk of mortality but may be associated with higher rates of hospitalization for fluid and electrolyte disorders and heat stroke, potentially suggesting that heat alerts lead more individuals to seek or access care.PMID:34461376 | DOI:10.1016/j.envint.2021.106834

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.

The IMPact of UntReated NOn-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation on Short-TErm clinical and economic outcomes in the US Medicare population: the IMPROVE-AF model
CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that increased overall OAC use has a positive clinical benefit on the annual number of ischemic stroke events and deaths avoided in the Medicare population, while maintaining a modest increase in the overall BI to the Medicare system.PMID:34415229 | DOI:10.1080/13696998.2021.1970954
