Vital Signs: Use of Recommended Health Care Measures to Prevent Selected Complications of Sickle Cell Anemia in Children and Adolescents - Selected U.S. States, 2019
CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE: Despite increases since 2014, TCD screening and hydroxyurea use remain low among children and adolescents with SCA. Health care providers should implement quality care strategies within their clinics and partner with patients, families, and community-based organizations to address barriers to delivering and receiving recommended care.PMID:36173745 | DOI:10.15585/mmwr.mm7139e1

E-191 Influence of socioeconomic factors on the development of post-stroke depression in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage survivors
ConclusionThe overall risk of developing a new depression disorder after aSAH was 16% in this retrospective study. The female sex was close to 4 times and substance use were six and half time more likely to develop new depressive symptoms; therefore, these risk factors should be considered when screening patients for depression after aSAH.Disclosures D.

Alcohol-Related Deaths Have Soared During the COVID-19 Pandemic
The pandemic and its attendant anxiety, boredom, and loneliness have not been good for people who struggle with alcohol use. According to a new study published in JAMA Network Open, alcohol-related deaths among U.S adults ages 25 and up increased 25% in 2020, and 22% in 2021, compared to average annual deaths from 2012 to 2019. Led by Dr. Yee Hui Yeo, an internal medicine physician at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, the study relied on a massive database maintained by the U.S. Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention (CDC) that registers nearly all deaths in the U.S. and their causes. From 2012 to 2019, a...

Medicare Bundled Payment Policy on Anemia Care, Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events, and Mortality among Adults Undergoing Hemodialysis
CONCLUSIONS: The Medicare reimbursement policy and Food and Drug Administration-recommended erythropoietin-stimulating agent dosing changes were associated with lower erythropoietin-stimulating agent use and lower hemoglobin levels. These changes in anemia care were associated with lower risks of major adverse cardiovascular event, stroke, mortality, and heart failure but higher risk of acute myocardial infarction among adults receiving hemodialysis.PMID:35589388 | DOI:10.2215/CJN.14361121

Why Acupuncture Is Going Mainstream in Medicine
When the opioid addiction crisis began to surge in the U.S. about a decade ago, Dr. Medhat Mikhael spent a lot of time talking to his patients about other ways to heal pain besides opioids, from other types of medications to alternative treatments. As a pain management specialist at MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, Calif., he didn’t anticipate leaving behind the short-term use of opioids altogether, since they work so well for post-surgical pain. But he wanted to recommend a remedy that was safer and still effective. That turned out to be acupuncture. “Like any treatment, acupuncture...

Rate and Predictors of Acute Care Encounters in the First Month After Stroke
Hospital readmission has become an important quality metric, especially after the Affordable Care Act mandated a reduction in payments to hospitals with readmission rates higher than expected.1 The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) defines 30-day stroke readmission as a hospital-specific readmission for any cause, except for certain planned readmissions, within 30 days after the date of discharge of the index admission.2 This definition does not take in account patients who are readmitted to other hospitals.

“It's not something that's really been brought up”: Opportunities and challenges for ongoing advance care planning discussions among individuals living with mechanical circulatory support
Advance care planning (ACP) among individuals living with a mechanical circulatory support (MCS) device is complex as the trajectory is typified by recurring life-threatening complications with a limited three-year survival rate of 57%.1 Additionally, 89.2% of MCS patients report experiencing complications such as gastrointestinal bleeding, stroke, and sepsis.2 –4 Against this background, in 2013, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Joint Commission required MCS teams to include palliative care consultations to enhance ACP communication early in the trajectory, specifically during the evaluation for MCS surgery.
