Article Abstract

Introduction: The clinical course of LBP is complex and chronicity is more frequent than once thought. Moreover, insufficient evidence was found in support of any specific approach at the level of the general population.

Research Question: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of providing a back care package through the primary healthcare system in decreasing the rate of CLBP in the community.

Material And Methods: Clusters were primary healthcare units with the covered population as participants. The intervention package comprised both exercise and educational content in the form of booklets. Data regarding LBP were collected at baseline, 3 and 9-month follow-ups. The LBP prevalence and the incidence of CLBP in the intervention group compared to the control group were analyzed using logistic regression through GEE.

Results: Eleven clusters were randomized including 3521 enrolled subjects. At 9 months, the intervention group showed a statistically significant decrease in both the prevalence and the incidence of CLBP, compared to the control group (OR ​= ​0.44; 95% CI ​= ​0.30-0.65; P ​< ​0.001 and OR ​= ​0.48; 95% CI ​= ​0.31-0.74; P ​< ​0.001, respectively).

Discussion And Conclusion: The population-based intervention was effective in reducing the LBP prevalence and CLBP incidence. Our results suggest that preventing CLBP through a primary healthcare package including exercise and educational content is achievable.

Importance: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with or without prostate biopsy, has become the standard of care for diagnosing clinically significant prostate cancer. Resource capacity limits widespread adoption. Biparametric MRI, which omits the gadolinium contrast sequence, is a shorter and cheaper alternative offering time-saving capacity gains for health systems globally.

Concomitant Comedications and Survival With First-Line Pembrolizumab in Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer.

JAMA Netw Open

September 2025

Oncostat U1018, Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale (INSERM), Ligue Contre le Cancer, Paris-Saclay University, Villejuif, France.

Importance: Antibiotics, steroids, and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are suspected to decrease the efficacy of immunotherapy.

Objective: To explore the association of comedications with overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Design, Setting, And Participants: This nationwide retrospective cohort study used target trial emulations of patients newly diagnosed with NSCLC from January 2015 to December 2022, identified from the French national health care database.

Importance: Research in behavioral economics has demonstrated that people have irrational biases, which make them susceptible to decisional shortcuts, or heuristics. The extent to which physicians consciously might use nudges to exploit these heuristics and thereby influence their patients' decision-making is unclear. In addition, ethical questions about the conscious use of nudges in medicine persist, yet little is known about how physicians experience and perceive their use.

Race, Ethnicity, Insurance Payer, and Pediatric Cardiac Arrest Survival.

JAMA Netw Open

September 2025

Division of Critical Care Medicine, Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Importance: Lower survival rates among Black adults relative to White adults after in-hospital cardiac arrest are well-described, but these findings have not been consistently replicated in pediatric studies.

Objective: To use a large, national, population-based inpatient database to evaluate the associations between in-hospital mortality in children receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and patient race or ethnicity, patient insurance status, and the treating hospital's proportion of Black and publicly insured patients.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective population-based cohort study used the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Kids' Inpatient Database (1997-2019 triennial versions).

Background: Ovarian cancer remains the most lethal gynecological cancer, with fewer than 50% of patients surviving more than five years after diagnosis. This study aimed to analyze the global epidemiological trends of ovarian cancer from 1990 to 2021 and also project its prevalence to 2050, providing insights into these evolving patterns and helping health policymakers use healthcare resources more effectively.

Methods: This study comprehensively analyzes the original data related to ovarian cancer from the GBD 2021 database, employing a variety of methods including descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, age-period-cohort (APC) analysis, decomposition analysis, predictive analysis, frontier analysis, and health inequality analysis.
