New research: Stroke risk and too much sleep; genes that make the body salt-sensitive
(Pollock Communications) High blood pressure, or hypertension, affects one-third of -- or 70 million -- US adults, and the healthcare costs associated with treating the disease are approximately $46 billion. From May 15 - 19, 2015, members of the medical community will gather at the 30th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Society of Hypertension in NYC to discuss more than 200 new studies, state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and new treatments for hypertension.

Abstract 339: Hospitalization Rates and Healthcare Costs Among Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation Patients Who Were Naive Users of Novel Oral Anticoagulants Session Title: Poster Session III
Conclusions: This early assessment shows that among anticoagulant naïve NVAF patients, treatment with apixaban was associated with a lower rate of all-cause hospitalization, as well as lower overall costs compared to other NOACs. Further evaluation is needed to provide additional detail on potential drivers of utilization differences.

Are healthcare costs from obesity associated with body mass index, comorbidity or depression? Cohort study using electronic health records
The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between body mass index (BMI) and healthcare costs in relation to obesity‐related comorbidity and depression. A population‐based cohort study was undertaken in the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD). A stratified random sample was taken of participants registered with general practices in England in 2008 and 2013. Person time was classified by BMI category and morbidity status using first diagnosis of diabetes (T2DM), coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke or malignant neoplasms. Participants were classified annually as depressed or not depressed. Cos...
