Hospital ‐ and county‐level characteristics explain geographic variability in prices of cancer‐related procedures: Implications for policy and interventions
ConclusionsPrices for cancer-related healthcare procedures varied substantially, with considerable heterogeneity associated with county location as well as county-level social determinants of health (e.g., health insurance coverage). Interventions and policy changes are needed to alleviate the financial burden of cancer care among patients, including geographic variation in prices for cancer-related procedures.

The Carolina hysterectomy cohort (CHC): a novel case series of reproductive-aged hysterectomy patients across 10 hospitals in the US south
CONCLUSION: This novel study design, a large EMR-based case series of hysterectomies linked to physician licensing data and manually abstracted data from unstructured clinical notes, enabled identification and characterization of a diverse reproductive-aged patient population more comprehensively than claims data would allow. In subsequent phases of this research, the CHC will leverage these rich clinical data to investigate multilevel drivers of hysterectomy in an ethnoracially, economically, and clinically diverse series of hysterectomy patients.PMID:38114962 | DOI:10.1186/s12905-023-02837-8 (Source: Pain Physician)

Rural-urban Disparities in the Continuum of Thyroid Cancer Care: Analysis of 92,794 cases
CONCLUSION: Compared to their urban counterparts, rural and frontier patients with thyroid cancer present with later-stage disease and experience higher disease-specific mortality. They also are more often lost to follow-up, which presents an opportunity for targeted outreach to reduce the observed disparities in outcomes.PMID:38115602 | DOI:10.1089/thy.2023.0357 (Source: Thyroid : official journal of the American Thyroid Association)
