Abstract

This study aimed to close an evidence gap concerning the relative efficacy of finerenone versus SGLT2is in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Canagliflozin was selected as a proxy for the SGLT2i class. Patient-level data of two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of finerenone (FIDELIO-DKD and FIGARO-DKD) were used alongside aggregated data from CREDENCE, an RCT of canagliflozin. To account for meaningful between-study heterogeneity between each finerenone trial and CREDENCE, a matching-adjusted indirect comparison of a range of efficacy outcomes was undertaken for each finerenone study versus CREDENCE. These results were meta-analyzed, enabling the estimation of the relative effects of finerenone against canagliflozin. For the cardiorenal composite endpoint, the hazard ratio (HR) comparing finerenone to canagliflozin was 1.07 (95% CI: 0.83 to 1.36). The corresponding HRs for all-cause mortality, end-stage kidney disease and cardiovascular death were 0.99 (95% CI: 0.73 to 1.34), 1.03 (95% CI: 0.68 to 1.55) and 0.94 (95% CI: 0.64 to 1.37), respectively. The absence of statistically significant differences was consistent throughout the main analysis and a range of sensitivity analyses. Based on this study, using a large sample of data and adjusted for meaningful differences between the baseline characteristics of the included RCTs, there was no statistically significant evidence indicating a difference in the efficacy of finerenone compared to canagliflozin in the treatment of CKD in patients with T2D.

5. Business and the Future of Education. Sequoia Action Brief #1.

Author

Sequoia Inst., San Jose, Sacramento, CA. and Hawkins, Robert B.

Abstract

Many entry level employees do not have the skills to become productive members of the work force. The nationwide decline in educational performance is documented by functional illiteracy among 13 percent of white 17-year-olds, and 42 percent of black 17-year-olds; a decline in the national average scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT); and increasing school dropout rates. High technology, a service-oriented society, the integration of immigrants, and global competition offer new challenges to the ability of American education to produce a competent work force. At fault is the overregulated and uncontrolled education system. Consumers are denied a direct impact on basic education policies, and policy control within the system is split between the state and various local governments and agencies. The conditions for true accountability and effectiveness can only be created at the local level, with the exception of matters of funding equalization and academic goals that should be established and supported by state legislatures and universities. The business community can help achieve local control by defining exactly what schools should accomplish to prepare high school graduates to enter the world of work and by offering support for the return of authority over the educational process to local communities.

Abstract

Objective: To assess the relationship between recent changes in Medicaid eligibility and preconception insurance coverage, pregnancy intention, health care use, and risk factors for poor birth outcomes among first-time parents. Data Source: This study used individual-level data from the national Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (2006-2017), which surveys individuals who recently gave birth in the United States on their experiences before, during, and after pregnancy. Study Design: Outcomes included preconception insurance status, pregnancy intention, stress from bills, early prenatal care, and diagnoses of high blood pressure and diabetes. Outcomes were regressed on an index measuring Medicaid generosity, which captures the fraction of female-identifying individuals who would be eligible for Medicaid based on state income eligibility thresholds, in each state and year. Data Collection/Extraction Methods: The sample included all individuals aged 20-44 with a first live birth in 2009-2017. Principal Findings: Among all first-time parents, a 10-percentage point (ppt) increase in Medicaid generosity was associated with a 0.7 ppt increase (P = 0.017) in any insurance coverage and a 1.5 ppt increase (P < 0.001) in Medicaid coverage in the month before pregnancy. We also observed significant increases in insurance coverage and early prenatal care and declines in stress from bills and unintended pregnancies among individuals with a high-school degree or less. Conclusions: Increasing Medicaid generosity for childless adults has the potential to improve insurance coverage in the critical period before pregnancy and help improve maternal outcomes among first-time parents. KEYWORDS maternal and perinatal care and outcomes, Medicaid, patient protection and affordable care act, preconception care, pregnancy, unplanned, prenatal care, state health policies, 1 | INTRODUCTION The United States continues to lag behind all other high-income countries in rates of maternal morbidity and mortality.

Abstract

Background Standard of care (SoC) for transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (TDT) requires lifelong, regular blood transfusions as well as chelation to reduce iron accumulation. Objective This study investigates the cost-effectiveness of betibeglogene autotemcel (‘beti-cel’; LentiGlobin for β-thalassemia) one-time, gene addition therapy compared to lifelong SoC for TDT. Study design Microsimulation model simulated the lifetime course of TDT based on a causal sequence in which transfusion requirements determine tissue iron levels, which in turn determine risk of iron overload complications that increase mortality. Clinical trial data informed beti-cel clinical parameters; effects of SoC on iron levels came from real-world studies; iron overload complication rates and mortality were based on published literature. Setting USA; commercial payer perspective Participants TDT patients age 2–50 Interventions Beti-cel is compared to SoC. Main outcome measure Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) utilizing quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) Results The model predicts beti-cel adds 3.8 discounted life years (LYs) or 6.9 QALYs versus SoC. Discounted lifetime costs were $2.28 M for beti-cel ($572,107 if excluding beti-cel cost) and $2.04 M for SoC, with a resulting ICER of $34,833 per QALY gained. Conclusion Beti-cel is cost-effective for TDT patients compared to SoC. This is due to longer survival and cost offset of lifelong SoC.

Abstract

Background Bariatric surgery can influence the presentation, diagnosis, and management of gastrointestinal cancers. Oesophago-Gastric (OG) malignancies in patients who have had a prior bariatric procedure have not been fully characterised. Objective To characterise OG malignancies after bariatric procedures. Setting University Hospital, United Kingdom. Methods We performed a retrospective, multi-centre observational study of patients with OG malignancies after bariatric surgery to characterise this condition. Results This study includes 170 patients from 75 centres in 25 countries who underwent bariatric procedures between 1985 and 2020. At the time of the bariatric procedure, the mean age was 50.2 ± 10 years and the mean weight 128.8 ± 28.9 kg. Females comprised 57.3% (n=98) of the population. Most (n=64) patients underwent a Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) followed by Adjustable Gastric Band (AGB) (n = 46) and Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) (n = 43). Time to cancer diagnosis after bariatric surgery was 9.5 ± 7.4 years and mean weight at diagnosis was 87.4 ± 21.9 kg. The time lag was 5.9 ± 4.1 years after SG compared to 9.4 ± 7.1 years after RYGB and 10.5 ± 5.7 years after AGB. One-third of patients presented with metastatic disease. The majority of tumours were adenocarcinoma (82.9%). Approximately 1 in 5 patients underwent palliative treatment from the outset. Time from diagnosis to mortality was under one year for most patients who died over the intervening period. Conclusions The OGMOS (Oesophago-Gastric Malignancies after Obesity/ Bariatric Surgery) study presents the largest series to date of patients developing OG malignancies after bariatric surgery and attempts to characterise this condition.

Abstract

Chest drains are placed after surgery to enable lung re-expansion. However, there remains little guidance on optimal placement. This study aims to identify the ideal size and position for chest drain insertion with regards to post-operative outcomes.383 patients undergoing lobectomy in 1-year had their chest drain size and x-ray position noted (1 (apical), 2 (mid-zone) or 3 (basal)). Primary outcome was residual air space on immediate post-operative x-ray. Secondary outcomes were length of drain in situ (72 versus ≥72 h), persisting pleural effusion, surgical emphysema, post-operative pneumonia (POP), and length of hospital stay (5 versus ≥5 days). Fisher's exact analysis for the primary outcome and binary logistic regression analysis for all outcomes were used. Results presented as odds ratios (OR±95%CI).Univariate analysis for residual air space showed increased risk in area 2 (OR = 1.61, p = 0.041) and 3 (OR = 2.59, p = 0.0043) compared with area 1. Multivariate analysis for residual air space showed increased risk in area 2 (OR = 2.39, p 0.001) and 3 (OR = 2.86, p 0.001) compared with area 1. Drain size had no impact on residual air space in univariate or multivariate analysis. Multivariate analysis showed area 2 drains remained in situ for72 h (OR = 1.49, p = 0.017), had persisting effusions (OR = 2.03, p = 0.004) and POP (OR = 2.10, p = 0.023) compared with area 1. This risk is magnified further for drains in area 3. Drains ≥28F had reduced risk of surgical emphysema (OR = 0.23, p = 0.027) in multivariate analysis.A ≥28F, apical chest drain reduces the risk of post-operative complications, allowing early removal and discharge.
