Comprehensive versus consultative rehabilitation services postacute stroke: outcomes differ.
The researchers compared outcomes of veteran patients provided with comprehensive rehabilitation with those provided with consultative rehabilitation services after acute stroke using propensity scores. They found that comprehensive rehabilitation services are associated with greater recovery of physical and cognitive independence, improved home discharge likelihood, and improved 1 yr. survival.

Differentially private distributed logistic regression using private and public data.
The purpose of this study was to develop hybrid data mining models using both public and private data sets in a differentially private and distributed manner to achieve improved utility of the disclosed data. The researchers concluded that the logistic regression models built with their new algorithm based on both private and public datasets demonstrate better utility than models that trained on private or public datasets alone without sacrificing the rigorous privacy guarantee.

Second-line agents for glycemic control for type 2 diabetes: are newer agents better?
The researchers aimed to assess the benefits and harms of four commonly used antihyperglycemia treatment regimens considering clinical effectiveness, quality of life, and cost. According to the model used by the researchers, all regimens resulted in similar life years and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) regardless of glycemic control goal, but the regimen with sulfonylurea incurred significantly lower cost per QALY.
