A Predictive Model for Identifying Low Medication Adherence Among Patients with Cirrhosis.
This study aims to identify the novel risk predictors of low medication adherence of cirrhosis patients in a large cohort and construct an applicable predictive model to provide clinicians with a simple and precise personalized prediction tool. ⋯ This study identified predictive factors regarding low medication adherence among patients with cirrhosis, and a predictive nomogram was constructed. This model could help clinicians identify patients with a high risk of low medication adherence and intervention measures can be taken in time.

Treatment Patterns, Healthcare Resource Utilization, and Direct Costs Among Patients Initiating Concomitant Use of a Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide Monoclonal Antibody (CGRP mAb) and Novel Acute Medication in the United States.
To describe treatment patterns, all-cause and migraine-related healthcare resource utilization (HCRU), and direct costs among people with migraine treated with concomitant calcitonin gene-related peptide monoclonal antibody (CGRP mAb) and novel acute migraine medications (ubrogepant, rimegepant, lasmiditan) in the United States (US). ⋯ In this study, observed treatment patterns with the indexed CGRP mAb were consistent with prior reports. Concomitant treatment with CGRP mAb and novel acute migraine medications led to reductions in some outcomes of HCRU and direct costs, however, increases were also observed. Treatment utilization, reductions in HCRU and cost savings identified in this study in favor of concomitant CGRP mAb and novel acute medications may help clinicians and other healthcare decision makers assessing appropriate therapeutic options for migraine management.

Comparison of SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination Skepticism, Reasons, and Concerns Between Mass Vaccination Centers and General Practices in Germany 2021.
The reluctance to be vaccinated against COVID-19 has significantly curbed vaccine uptake. Unlike mass vaccination centers, general practitioners (GPs) might be able to address some of the patients' concerns through their long-term doctor-patient relationship. This study compared vaccination reasons, concerns and skepticism about vaccination, and perceived importance of the vaccine and its hypothetical value between vaccination centers and GP practices. ⋯ Our results indicate opportunities for framing future vaccination campaigns that include vaccination centers. Additionally, a rapid GP involvement in future mass vaccinations might be crucial for overcoming attitudinal barriers and achieving higher vaccine uptake.

The Relationship Between Social Capital and Hypertension Among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients: The Moderating Effect of Depressive Symptoms.
This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between social capital (SC) and hypertension among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, considering the moderation effects of depressive symptoms. ⋯ Depressive symptoms may be one crucial moderator of the relationship between SC and hypertension in a representative sample of Chinese diabetes patients. The findings indicate that improving SC and mental health may help manage hypertension among T2DM patients.

Validation of the Slovakian Version of the "Post‑acute (Long) COVID‑19 Quality of Life Instrument" and Pilot Study.
The aim of our study was to validate a Slovakian translation of the PAC‑19QoL instrument among Slovakian patients with post COVID-19 syndrome. ⋯ The Slovakian version of the instrument is valid, reliable and can be a suitable tool for research and daily clinical practice among patients with post COVID-19 syndrome.
