Authors repurposed COVID-19 dashboard data on to describe several possible U.S. hospital bed occupancy scenarios arising from an aging U.S. population over the next decade, while varying hospitalization rates and staffed hospital bed supply.

Some studies found that patients treated by female physicians may experience better outcomes, as well as lower health care costs than those treated by male physicians. Physician-patient sex concordance may also contribute to better patient outcomes.

Authors evaluate the associations between county-level social spending and individual-level health care utilization among low-income Medicare beneficiaries, aged ≥65 years, from 2016 to 2018.

Evidence is limited as to whether outcomes differ between patients with tricuspid regurgitation (TR) treated with tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) versus surgical tricuspid valve repair. Authors aimed to compare outcomes between these two approaches.

This study included Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries aged 65–99 years treated with percutaneous microaxial ventricular assist devices (pVAD) for cardiogenic shock (CS) from 2016 to 2020 and examined the associations between patient outcomes and two exposure variables: hospitals’ procedure volumes of pVAD and patient-hospital distances.

A recent analysis of health insurance effects in the U.S. reveals that while average health improvements are inconsistent, certain subgroups experience significant benefits.

Authors investigate health insurance-generated improvements in cardiovascular risk factors (blood pressure and hemoglobin levels) for identifiable subpopulations and use machine learning to identify characteristics of people predicted to benefit most.

Demographic information and pharyngeal images were collected from patients who visited 64 primary care clinics in Japan for influenza-like symptoms. Authors trained a deep learning-based classification model to predict reported sex on 20,319 images from 51 clinics.

Little is known as to whether the effects of a physician’s sex on patients' clinical outcomes vary by patient sex. Authors examine whether the association between a physician's sex and hospital outcomes varied between female and male patients hospitalized with medical conditions.
