Article Abstract
Purpose: Transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) people may have been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, yet little is known about vaccination status in this population. This multicenter cohort study of insured adults examined the rates of COVID-19 vaccine initiation and completion in TGD persons compared to matched cisgender persons.
Methods: A cohort of TGD persons and matched cisgender persons enrolled in Kaiser Permanente health plans in Northern and Southern California between 12/1/2020 and 7/31/2021 were analyzed. COVID-19 vaccination initiation and completion rates were compared across groups using Cox regression models.
Results: Among transmasculine persons, the HR (95 % CI) estimates for COVID-19 vaccination initiation and completion were, respectively, 1.35 (1.30-1.40) and 1.78 (1.71-1.85) compared with cisgender women and 1.34 (1.29-1.40) and 1.81 (1.73-1.88) compared with cisgender men. Among transfeminine persons, the corresponding HRs (95 % CIs) for vaccination initiation and completion were 1.35 (1.30-1.40) and 1.78 (1.71-1.85) compared with cisgender women and 1.34 (1.29-1.40) and 1.81 (1.73-1.88) compared with cisgender men.
Conclusion: Findings from this cohort of insured adults demonstrated that TGD persons initiated and completed COVID-19 vaccination at higher rates compared to matched cisgender persons. Further work is needed to understand vaccination rates and determinants in the broader TGD populations.

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion vs Anticoagulants in Dialysis With Atrial Fibrillation.

Importance: Patients with kidney failure (KF) receiving long-term dialysis have increased incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF). Patients with KF and AF have increased risk of stroke, death, and bleeding compared with age-matched cohorts. In KF, the use of oral anticoagulants (OACs) increases hemorrhage risk, offsetting potential benefits and making left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) a potentially promising solution for risk reduction in AF.

Cancer, with its inherent heterogeneity, is commonly categorized into distinct subtypes based on unique traits, cellular origins, and molecular markers specific to each type. However, current studies primarily rely on complete multi-omics datasets for predicting cancer subtypes, often overlooking predictive performance in cases where some omics data may be missing and neglecting implicit relationships across multiple layers of omics data integration. This paper introduces Multi-Layer Matrix Factorization (MLMF), a novel approach for cancer subtyping that employs multi-omics data clustering.

Purpose: Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent cancer among women and the second leading cause of central nervous system (CNS) metastases. While the epidemiology of CNS metastases from BC has been well described, little is known about the treatment patterns and outcomes of young women < 40 years of age with BC that is metastatic to the CNS.
Methods: In this retrospective analysis, we identified patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) to the CNS who were treated at the Sunnybrook Odette Cancer Center, Toronto, Canada between 2008 and 2018.

Introduction: This study examines the characteristics of adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who were not initially treated with an antihyperglycemic agent (AHA).
Methods: The analyses used Optum de-identified Market Clarity data from January 2013 through September 2023. The US study included nonpregnant adults with T2D who were continuously insured from 1 year prior through 5 years post diagnosis and did not fill a prescription for an AHA in the year after their initial T2D diagnosis.

Introduction: Medication history taking at hospital admission is still prone to errors. Despite numerous quality improvement initiatives, new strategies to improve medication history taking are still sought and evaluated. Unfortunately, the gold standard research methodology for evaluation is resource-intensive, as it requires each patient to complete two medication history interviews.
