Maggie Maybe“From 2006 to 2020, the prevalence of ADHD medication use in Sweden increased from less than 1% to nearly 3%. During this time, ADHD drug usage consistently correlated with lower risks of self-harm, unintentional injury, traffic crashes, and crime in a cohort of more than 247 000 people aged 4 to 64 years.”<a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2836811" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2836811</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ADHD</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/jama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#jama</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/Adderall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Adderall</a> for the win

Maggie MaybeCoding for Climate:“When a physician is aware that there’s a heat wave, they’re more likely to code for heat-related illness, like acute heat stroke”, said Ashley Ward, PhD, director of the Heat Policy Innovation Hub at Duke University. But, she noted, “it is not those short-term extreme heat events that actually result in the greatest health outcomes. It’s the everyday chronic exposure throughout heat season’ that exacerbates other conditions.”“If more physicians included ICD-10 codes for heat, including chronic exposure, experts say policymakers would have a clearer picture of its health effects, ideally leading to initiatives that protect patients from its harms. Coding for heat-related illness is just one part of a larger push to better document social determinants of health. But difficulty in determining the role of heat in a patient’s condition, a lack of physician familiarity with the codes, and balancing thoroughness and efficiency during clinical encounters all present challenges.” <a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2836808" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2836808</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/HeatWave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HeatWave</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/HeatStroke" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HeatStroke</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ClimateConsequenes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClimateConsequenes</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ICD10" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ICD10</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/jama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#jama</a>

Maggie Maybe“The study followed about 700 women from pregnancy to midlife, and those who resided in a highly disadvantaged neighborhood within 10 years of perimenopause experienced early natural onset menopause, with socioeconomic status and household characteristics having the largest effect on long-term trajectories. Earlier menopause is linked to higher risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, and mortality, with odds increasing about 2% to 3% with a 1-year decrease in menopause age. The lack of access to social and economic resources that may contribute to early menopause requires intervention to address related health outcomes, the authors stated.” <a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2835496" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2835496</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/perimenopause" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#perimenopause</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/menopause" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#menopause</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/JAMA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JAMA</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/study" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#study</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/SocialMurder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SocialMurder</a>

Maggie MaybeHousing First actually solves the problem of homelessness, and like the one doctor commenting says, it’s a lot easier to achieve sobriety when someone has safe & secure shelter. From the link:“ Of the interventions that have been tested and implemented, helping people into stable housing without precondition of sobriety, otherwise known as the Housing First model, is a compassionate way to decrease homelessness, reduce health care use, and possibly improve health outcomes. Although the Housing First model previously received broad bipartisan support, the Trump administration appears ready to abandon this approach. Doing so would have grave consequences for the health of the US.”There are paragraphs and paragraphs talking about the cost savings of housing people, how it saves lives because homelessness causes people to die 30 years before their peers would, and that substance misuse or abuse decreased drastically after housing vets with substance abuse issues.<a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2836034" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2836034</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/JAMA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JAMA</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/HousingFirst" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HousingFirst</a>

Maggie Maybe“Question  Is SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or severity associated with acceleration in changes in cognitive function among older adults after accounting for important prepandemic confounders, including genetic risk for cognitive decline? Findings  In this cohort study of 3525 participants, cognitive function decreased more rapidly among participants hospitalized for a SARS-CoV-2 infection when compared with participants not infected with SARS-CoV-2. These findings were evident after robust multivariable adjustment for confounders.

Maggie Maybe“A landmark within-patient study in Sweden found that ADHD medication was associated with a 41% reduction in criminal convictions in women and a 32% reduction in men. In the US, MarketScan insurance data demonstrated that adolescents and adults had a 31% lower risk of substance-related emergency events in women and a 35% lower risk in men during months on ADHD medication. Similarly, Chang and colleagues reported a 42% lower rate of motor vehicle crashes in women and a 38% lower rate in men in medicated months. This real-world benefit extends even further. A meta-analysis by Boland et al demonstrated protective effects similar to those found by Li and colleagues, showing 25% to 35% within-group improvement during the active treatment period and nearly 50% improvement between treated and never-treated groups across mood disorders, substance use disorders, accidents, crime, injuries, and educational outcomes.”<a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/2835663" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/2835663</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ADHD</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/JAMA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JAMA</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/study" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#study</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/SUD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SUD</a>

Findings  In this cohort study, 517 individuals were enrolled; top needs were rent and utility support, and service utilization mirrored these needs. Overall, the mean (SD) cost per member per month was $2225 ($1586). Meaning  The findings of this study of a pilot program highlight a critical need for housing supports among Medicaid members and offer lessons for design and implementation of similar programs, including a key insight on the necessity of cross-sector collaboration between health care and housing organizations. <a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2834358" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2834358</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/HousingAssiatance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HousingAssiatance</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/medicaid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#medicaid</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/JAMA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JAMA</a>
