Mashup Score: 0Complex Cases: When Multiple Diagnoses Make Managing Pain Difficult - INvisible Project - 6 month(s) ago
Managing a chronic pain condition can be a full-time job. In addition to living with symptoms on a daily basis, individuals living with pain must find providers, understand health insurance, attend appointments, pick up prescriptions, make phone calls, pay bills, and more. But if managing pain and seeking health care is complicated and time-consuming for someone with a single diagnosis, what is it like for those living with multiple conditions?

Mashup Score: 0Medication Cost Concerns and Disparities in Patient-Reported Outcomes Among a Multiethnic Cohort of Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus - 6 month(s) ago
Objective Concerns about the affordability of medications are common in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but the relationship between medication cost concerns and health outcomes is poorly understood. We assessed the association of self-reported medication cost concerns and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in a multiethnic SLE cohort. Methods The California Lupus Epidemiology Study is a cohort of individuals with physician-confirmed SLE. Medication cost concerns were defined as having difficulties affording SLE medications, skipping doses, delaying refills, requesting lower-cost alternatives, purchasing medications outside the United States, or applying for patient assistance programs. Linear regression and mixed effects models assessed the cross-sectional and longitudinal association of medication cost concerns and PROs, respectively, adjusting for age, sex, race and ethnicity, income, principal insurance, immunomodulatory medications, and organ damage. Results Of 334 participants,

Mashup Score: 3Long-term Exposure to Walkable Residential Neighborhoods Reduces the Risk of Obesity-related Cancer in Women | ISEE | 2022 - 6 month(s) ago
Background and Aim Living in neighborhoods with higher levels of walkability has been associated with a reduced risk of obesity and higher levels of physical activity. Obesity has been linked to increased risk of 13 cancers in women. However, long-term prospective studies of neighborhood walkability (NW) and risk for obesity-related cancer are scarce. In this prospective study, we evaluated the association between average NW and risk of cancer. Methods In the New York University Women’s Health Study (NYUWHS), a prospective cohort with 14,274 women recruited between 1985 and 1991 in New York City and followed over nearly three decades, we geocoded residential addresses for each participant throughout follow-up. We calculated an average annual measure of neighborhood walkability across years of follow-up using data on population density and accessibility to destinations associated with geocoded residential addresses. We employed Cox proportional hazards models to assess the association b

Mashup Score: 0Disparities in diabetes prevalence and management by race and ethnicity in the USA: defining a path forward - 6 month(s) ago
Type 2 diabetes disparities in the USA persist in both the prevalence of disease and diabetes-related complications. We conducted a literature review related to diabetes prevention, management, and complications across racial and ethnic groups in the USA. The objective of this review is to summarise the current understanding of diabetes disparities by examining differences between and within racial and ethnic groups and among young people (aged <18 years). We also examine the pathophysiology of diabetes as it relates to race and ethnic differences.

Mashup Score: 0
Increases in colorectal cancer screening are linked to the declining incidence of the disease over the past 3 decades. These favorable trends, however, are not observed in marginalized racial and ethnic populations with disproportionately lower rates of screening, higher disease incidence, and increased mortality, despite advances in health technology and policy. This review describes the differences in screening uptake and test selection among racial and ethnic groups, discusses known obstacles and facilitators that impact screening, and highlights existing frameworks developed to achieve health equity in colorectal cancer screening.
