Mashup Score: 4Comparison of Hospital Mortality and Readmission Rates by Physician and Patient Sex | Annals of Internal Medicine - 6 hour(s) ago
Background: Little is known as to whether the effects of physician sex on patients’ clinical outcomes vary by patient sex. Objective: To examine whether the association between physician sex and hospital outcomes varied between female and male patients hospitalized with medical conditions. Design: Retrospective observational study. Setting: Medicare claims data. Patients: 20% random sample of Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries hospitalized with medical conditions during 2016 to 2019 and treated by hospitalists. Measurements: The primary outcomes were patients’ 30-day mortality and readmission rates, adjusted for patient and physician characteristics and hospital-level averages of exposures (effectively comparing physicians within the same hospital). Results: Of 458 108 female and 318 819 male patients, 142 465 (31.1%) and 97 500 (30.6%) were treated by female physicians, respectively. Both female and male patients had a lower patient mortality when treated by female physicians; how

Mashup Score: 2Are open access fees a good use of tax payers money? - 8 hour(s) ago
Abstract. Butler et al. (2023) reported that five large commercial publishers (Elsevier, Sage, Springer-Nature, Taylor & Francis and Wiley) received $1.06 billion in publication fees between 2015 and 2018. Another three publishers were mentioned (Frontiers, MDPI and PLOS), but were not analyzed. The revenue was underestimated and the number of open access (OA) articles increased over the period of study. The five publishers analyzed charged (on average) $1,989 for gold OA articles and $2,905 for hybrid articles.Peer Review. https://www.webofscience.com/api/gateway/wos/peer-review/10.1162/qss_c_00305

Mashup Score: 0
Background Blurred work–non-work boundaries can have negative effects on mental health, including sleep. Objectives In a randomised control trial, we aimed to assess the effectiveness of an online recovery training programme designed to improve symptoms of insomnia in a working population exposed to blurred boundaries. Methods 128 participants with severe insomnia symptoms (Insomnia Severity Index ≥15) and working under blurred work and non-work conditions (segmentation supplies <2.25) were randomly assigned to either the recovery intervention or a waitlist control group (WLC). The primary outcome was insomnia severity, assessed at baseline, after 2 months (T2) and 6 months (T3). Findings A greater reduction in insomnia was observed in the intervention compared with the WLC group at both T2 ( d =1.51; 95% CI=1.12 o 1.91) and T3 ( d =1.63; 95% CI=1.23 to 2.03]. This was shown by Bayesian analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), whereby the ANCOVA model yielded the highest Bayes factor ( BF 10=3
