Article Abstract
The exit from active substance use presents barriers to achieving and maintaining health, especially as individuals lack the economic resources to afford healthcare access. Treatment settings that strengthen resources may support stability in recovery and influence health. Analyzing a sample of recovery home residents over two years (N = 494), the current study assessed individually held resources (e.g., wages, employment) and the average economic conditions of a resident's house (e.g., house employment rate) to understand their association with self-reported health status. Employment status, but not wages or transportation access, was associated with reported health scores. The average employment rate of a recovery home was also positively correlated with the health of its residents. Results indicate the need to address employment and other economic issues which plague recovering individuals. Community aftercare settings may offer such a pathway through affordable housing, employment opportunities, and supportive relationships.

Anemia and iron deficiency in post-kidney transplantation: an unsolved challenge.
Clin Kidney J

Prof Department of Advanced Medical and Surgical Sciences, University of Campania 'Luigi Vanvitelli', Naples, Italy.
Anemia and iron deficiency (ID) are common and significant complications in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) that can affect their health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and outcomes. Current anemia guidelines equate the post-transplant situation with the anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in non-transplanted persons, not acknowledging relevant differences ranging from pathophysiology to clinical manifestation. Nephrologists caring for these patients tend to pay less attention to post-transplant anemia (PTA) and ID than in non-transplanted persons with CKD.

Background: This study examines trends in delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol-9-carboxylic acid (THC-COOH) positivity rates in pre-employment urine drug screenings at a single university-based hospital occupational medicine clinic from 2017 to 2022, following California's recreational cannabis legalization in 2016, with sales beginning officially on January 1, 2018.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of 21,546 de-identified urine drug screenings from 2017 to 2022 was conducted. Initial screening used instant urine drug immunoassays (50 ng/mL cutoff for THC-COOH), followed by confirmatory gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (15 ng/mL cutoff).
Net present value cost analysis for treating retinitis pigmentosa.
J Med Econ

Janssen Scientific Affairs, LLC, Titusville, New Jersey.
Objectives: To provide insights into the financial burden and opportunity cost of vision loss from retinitis pigmentosa (RP) in the US by using net present value (NPV) of direct medical and nonmedical costs.
Methods: Assumptions, including economic (discount rate, median income, cost-of-living, Social Security and Medicare taxes, public insurance/supplemental benefits, nutrition assistance, and prescription drug assistance), medical (federal National Health Expenditure tables, a recent retrospective claims analysis, and Optum Health claims database) and demographic (mortality rate, increase in mortality due to visual impairment, progression of blindness, probability of survival, retirement rate, rate of disability, and RP diagnosis probability) were made to develop a NPV model. Scenario analyses were performed on benefits and costs arising from patients with RP, if vision could be preserved via novel gene therapies.
