Importance Research has demonstrated an association between the COVID-19 pandemic and increased alcohol-related liver disease hospitalizations deaths. However, trends in complications more broadly are unclear, especially among subgroups disproportionately affected by alcohol use. Objective To assess people with high-acuity admitted to emergency department, observation unit, or hospital during pandemic, focusing on demographic differences. Design, Setting, Participants This longitudinal interrupted time series cohort study analyzed US national insurance claims data using Optum’s deidentified Clinformatics Data Mart database from March 2017 September 2021, before after 2020 onset.

In recent years, there has been a global trend of aging, which resulted in significant changes to the burden gastritis and duodenitis (GD). Using disease (GBD) database spanning 1990 2019, we evaluated temporal trends age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR), death (ASDR), disability-adjusted life years (AS-DALYs) for GD using estimated annual percentage (EAPC). Additionally, examined across various strata, including social demographic index (SDI), age, sex. Finally, risk factors linked mortality GD, utilizing Pearson correlation analysis. were 31 million patients globally, notable increase 12 from 1990, while ASIR, ASDR, AS-DALYs all showed decrease. Correlation analysis negative relationship between ASIR SDI. Factors like hand hygiene vitamin A deficiency had positive correlations with ASDR 2019. Over past thirty increased alongside population aging. Future efforts should focus on exploring prevention special attention elderly low SDI regions.

Abstract Reinforcement learning studies propose that decision-making is guided by a tradeoff between computationally cheaper model-free (habitual) control and costly model-based (goal-directed) control. Greater typically used under highly rewarding conditions to minimize risk maximize gain. Although prior have shown impairments in sensitivity reward value individuals with frequent alcohol use, it unclear how these arbitrate based on the magnitude of incentives. In this study, 81 (47 Alcohol Users 34 Non-Users) performed modified 2-step task where stakes were sometimes high, other times they low. Maximum posteriori fitting dual-system reinforcement-learning model was assess degree control, utility for low- high-stakes trials separately. As expected, Non-Users showed significantly higher compared lower conditions, whereas no such difference two observed Users. Additionally, both groups less risk-averse conditions. However, condition. Lastly, greater associated risk-sensitive approach Taken together, results suggest may impaired metacontrol, making them flexible varying monetary rewards more prone risky decision-making, especially when are high.

Importance Evidence-based, patient-centered treatment for alcohol use disorder (AUD) can include pharmacotherapy with naltrexone, acamprosate, or disulfiram; however, these medications are rarely used. Medicaid managed care plans (MCPs) manage health services nearly 80% of enrollees and the largest payer addiction services. Little is known about MCP policies AUD medications. Objectives To describe MCPs’ coverage management disulfiram examine associations plan characteristics state medication coverage. Design, Setting, Participants In this cross-sectional study, a content analysis was performed 2021 insurance benefit data 241 comprehensive MCPs in states using care, as well secondary sources. Data were analyzed from May to August 2024. Main Outcomes Measures MCP-reported utilization requirements (eg, prior authorization, quantity limit requirements) disulfiram, oral injectable naltrexone together each separately. Independent variables included (profit status, market share) policy environment which embedded (Section 1115 substance waiver, state-defined preferred drug list).
