Life expectancy in the US may now vary by more than 2 decades based on demographic differences, according to a new systematic analysis. The largest gap between highest and lowest life expectancies was 12.6 years in 2000. It reached 13.9 years in 2010 and 15.8 years by 2019 before climbing to 20.4 years after the first 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic—with the largest life expectancy difference being between Asian individuals and American Indian or Alaska Native people in the West.

The global mortality of patients with asthma is a significant concern. The analysis of the burden of asthma can help formulate public health policies, allocate resources, and prevent asthma.

Objectives
To determine the prevalence of hospital discharge communication problems with older adults, compare them across countries and determine factors associated with those problems.

Design
Secondary analysis of cross-sectional survey data.

Setting
2021 Commonwealth Fund International Health Policy (IHP) Survey of Older Adults conducted across 11 high-income countries, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK and the USA.

Participants
4501 respondents aged 60 and older in the USA and 65 and older in all other included countries who were hospitalised at least once in the past 2 years before the survey and answered discharge communication-related questions.

Primary outcome measure
Our primary outcome measure is poor discharge communication (PDC), a composite variable of three IHP questions related to written information, doctor follow-up and medicines discussed.

Results
Overall PDC rate was 19.2% (864/4501), although rates varied by nation. PDC was highest in Norway (31.5%) and lowest in the USA (7.5%). Gender, education, income and the presence of at least one chronic disease were not statistically associated with PDC.

Conclusions
Given the high rate of PDC observed, hospital discharge teams and leadership should carefully examine communication during the hospital discharge process to ensure minimisation of care gaps, particularly regarding medication, since this was the most reported problem.

Objective
This study examined economic inequality in coverage of selected maternal and child healthcare (MCH) indicators in India and its states over the last 15 years.

Design
The study analysed last three rounds of the National Family Health Survey data, conducted during 2005–2006, 2015–2016 and 2019–2021. Bivariate analyses, ratio of richest to poorest, slope index of inequality (SII) and multivariate binary logistic regression analyses were used to examine the coverage as well as inequalities in the outcome indicators for India and its states and at district level.

Primary outcomes
The outcome variables analysed in the study were full antenatal care, institutional delivery, postnatal care of mothers within 48 hours of delivery, and full immunisation among children.

Participants
Women aged 15–49 who had given a birth in the last 5 years before the surveys were unit of analysis for the maternal healthcare indicators, and children aged 12–23 months were unit of the analysis for childhood immunisation.

Results
Over the last 15 years, coverage of the MCH indicators has increased in India and across socioeconomic segment of the population, and the absolute increase was higher among the worse-off segments than the better-off. This led to decline in the inequality in coverage of all the MCH indicators. For instance, the value of SII for institutional births decreased from 0.76 in 2005–2006 to 0.45 in 2015–2016 and further to 0.37 in 2019–2021. Although inequality has decreased, geographic disparities persist across states and districts.

Conclusion
Though substantial improvement was observed, coverage of MCH indicators increased and the economic inequality declined; certain geographies are still characterised with the low coverage and persistent high inequality. This suggests that adding a spatial perspective to the inequality research and targeted strategies is essential for achieving universal access to reproductive healthcare services by 2030 in India.

La disfunzionalità dell’adipe si riflette sui tessuti arteriosi, cardiaci e renali e queste interconnessioni rappresentano una sfida importante per il Ssn, ma anche un’opportunità per migliorare la presa in cura dei pazienti con patologie complesse

The global burden of MBC significantly increased from 1990 to 2021, with notable geographic disparities. Efforts aimed at MBC prevention and control strategies should take into account the inequities in its global distribution.
