Researchers analyzed 2 cohorts of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to characterize who is most at risk for developing hypercapnia and who could most benefit from at-home noninvasive inhalation therapy.

The specialization program will teach fundamentals and offer real-world examples of value-based care through an online program.

While diagnostic algorithms have evolved in the last decade, there remains an urgent need for innovative therapeutic options to treat systemic sclerosis with pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Cutting-edge genetic tools diagnosed 83% of Irish patients with polycystic kidney disease (PKD), identified 36 novel variants, and discovered that seemingly unrelated individuals with the same variant likely inherited it from a common ancestor.

Nanotherapies have the potential to overcome the blood-brain barrier and the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier, representing a possible treatment opportunity for rare diseases.

Break Through Cancer, a collaborative research effort between 5 top US academic cancer centers, aims to pursue solutions to some of the most difficult challenges in cancer research.

Multicancer early detection technology could help reduce cancer mortality compared to the current strategy of single-cancer screening tests.

Older adults are often at greater risk for adverse events from treatments, but they can also be excluded from randomized controlled trials (RCTs), making it difficult to know if findings are generalizable to this population.

This episode of Managed Care Cast is a preview of an interview with Michael E. Chernew, PhD, and A. Mark Fendrick, MD, the co-editors-in-chief of The American Journal of Managed Care®, which appears in the December issue of the journal.

In the real world, the persistence rate with secukinumab to treat psoriatic arthritis was higher than with ustekinumab.

Results of the artificial intelligence (AI) model were consistent no matter which immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy patients received, suggesting that some biomarkers are not necessarily specific to the checkpoint target.

The mortality risk differs for the 3 endothelin receptor antagonists approved to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in elderly patients; however, a direct comparison in a controlled trial is still needed to confirm results.

Understanding these genetic variants discovered through sequencing efforts is key to further progress in clinical genetics.

With the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, new research is quickly being released as more and more is learned. However, the flood of new research needs to be balanced with appropriate review before action is taken.

Newer therapies have led to a boost in the number of patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM) who are prescribed triplet regimens. As that shift has occurred, death rates appear to have dropped.

The use of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations in assessing chronic kidney disease (CKD) for Black patients may lead to underdiagnosis and undertreatment, according to a nephrologist speaking at Kidney Week.

2020 is the 25th anniversary of The American Journal of Managed Care® and the October’s issue of the journal features an interview with Dr Kavita Patel, a nonresident fellow at the Brookings Institution and a primary care physician.

Air pollution was found to be significantly associated with an increased risk of hospital admissions for several neurological disorders, including Parkinson disease, Alzheimer disease, and other dementias.

Attendees at the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) Nexus 2020 meeting will hear a keynote from a surgeon who has become more visible over the past year and a half discussing what he says are “structural problems” behind the cost of US health care.
