Introduction: Facing the profound health impacts and economic challenges posed by the high maternal mortality ratio worldwide, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has shown its potential to enhance diagnostic efficiency, reduce healthcare costs and improve health outcomes. However, concerns regarding the explicit and implicit costs as well as actual clinical outcomes of POCUS also exist. This systematic review protocol aims to synthesise existing evidence regarding the costs and cost-effectiveness of POCUS in obstetric care to provide a clearer understanding of its economic and clinical impact, ultimately guaranteeing global maternal and neonatal health and supporting the vision of the 2030 sustainable development goals.

Objective: Little is known about the longitudinal progression of cost-related medication non-adherence (CRN) among the high-need, high-cost diabetes population. We aim to document the longitudinal aspect of CRN among Medicare diabetes patients at high risk of hospitalization and the role of Medicare-Medicaid dual eligibility in CRN.
Research Design And Methods: 617 Medicare diabetes patients at high risk of hospitalization were followed up at 3-month intervals for a total of 16 surveys.
