Background: Physician control over their clinical work is hypothesized to be associated with both burnout and career intentions. Objective: To assess the association of perceived work control with burnout and career intentions. Design: A multi-institution study. Setting: Cross-sectional survey. Participants: A sample of U.S. physicians between November 2022 and December 2023. Measurements: A novel multicomponent measure of work control, Mini-Z single-item burnout measure, intent to reduce clinical hours (ITR), and intent to leave the current practice. Results: Among respondents, 61.4% (1318 of 2144) reported adequate control over patient load, 60.6% (1301 of 2144) adequate control over membership of their clinical team, and 61.3% (1434 of 2339) adequate control over workload. Adequate control over hiring of staff and clinical schedule were reported by 49.0% (772 of 1574) and 74.6% (1175 of 1574), respectively. Most respondents (58.3% [692 of 1186]) reported that they had sufficient aut

Background: There is a paucity of data on treatment of osteoporosis in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). Objective: To assess the risk for emergently treated hypocalcemia with denosumab by stage of CKD and presence of CKD–mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). Design: Target trial emulation. Setting: Medicare fee-for-service data with prescription drug coverage, 2012 to 2020. Participants: Female patients aged 65 years or older initiating denosumab, oral bisphosphonates, or intravenous (IV) bisphosphonates for osteoporosis. Measurements: Hospital and emergency department admissions (that is, emergent care) for hypocalcemia were assessed in the first 12 treatment weeks. Inverse probability of treatment weighted cumulative incidence and weighted risk differences (RDs) were calculated. Results: A total of 361 453 patients treated with denosumab, 829 044 treated with oral bisphosphonates, and 160 413 treated with IV bisphosphonates were identified. Risk for emergently trea

Background: Days spent obtaining health care outside the home can represent not only access to needed care but also substantial time, effort, and cost, especially for older adults and their care partners. Yet, these “health care contact days” have not been characterized. Objective: To assess composition of, variation and patterns in, and factors associated with contact days among older adults. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Nationally representative 2019 Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey data linked to claims. Participants: Community-dwelling adults aged 65 years and older in traditional Medicare. Measurements: Ambulatory contact days (days with a primary care or specialty care office visit, test, imaging, procedure, or treatment) and total contact days (ambulatory days plus institutional days in a hospital, emergency department, skilled-nursing facility, or hospice facility); multivariable mixed-effects Poisson regression to identify patient factors associated with contact
