In this national study of primary care practice-level factors associated with telehealth adoption in 2022, we found that training and assisting patients with the use of telehealth, broadband expansion efforts, and a higher proportion of low-income patients were associated with higher practice-level telehealth use, suggesting both opportunities for telehealth expansion and potential populations with higher need for its use.

Gasper GM, Stuchlik PM, Stukel TA, Goodman DC

2025 Mar 24;doi: 10.1001/jamapediatrics.2024.7133

The effectiveness of neonatal intensive care in very ill newborns has led to rapid growth in US neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) capacity that is uncorrelated with regional perinatal risk. It is not known if there is an association between growth of regional capacity and newborn mortality.

The Association of Dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment With Outpatient Ambulatory Care Utilization in the Community.

Chen Y, James BD, Capuano AW, Banerjee M, Springer MV, Lange-Maia BS, Barnes LL, Bennett DA, Bynum JPW, Grodstein F

2025 Mar 22;doi: 10.1111/jgs.19446

Ambulatory care is critical in delivering interventions for dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), from basic services to novel therapeutics. Yet, little is known regarding how community-dwelling persons with dementia/MCI interact with clinicians in outpatient ambulatory settings. We assessed associations of dementia/MCI with outpatient ambulatory evaluation and management (E&M) visits.

Alternative Presentations of Overall and Statistical Uncertainty for Adults' Understanding of the Results of a Randomized Trial of a Public Health Intervention: Parallel Web-Based Randomized Trials.

Holst C, Woloshin S, Oxman AD, Rose C, Rosenbaum S, Munthe-Kaas HM

2025 Mar 18;11:e62828doi: 10.2196/62828

Well-designed public health messages can help people make informed choices, while poorly designed messages or persuasive messages can confuse, lead to poorly informed decisions, and diminish trust in health authorities and research. Communicating uncertainties to the public about the results of health research is challenging, necessitating research on effective ways to disseminate this important aspect of randomized trials.
