A national analysis of pediatric trauma care utilization and outcomes in the United States.
The goal of this study was to provide the first national description of the proportion of injured children treated at pediatric trauma centers, and to clarify the presumed benefit of pediatric trauma center verification by comparing injury mortality across hospital types. The study used data from the 2006 Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Kids Inpatient Database combined with national trauma center inventories. The results of the study may provide evidence that treatment of injured children at verified pediatric trauma centers may improve outcomes.

Association of neighborhood socioeconomic context with participation in cardiac rehabilitation.
This study investigated the association of neighborhood socioeconomic context with Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) participation in the Southern Community Cohort Study- a prospective cohort study of 84 569 adults in the southeastern United States from 2002 to 2009, 52 117 of whom have Medicare or Medicaid claims. The study found that lower neighborhood socioeconomic context was associated with decreased CR participation independent of individual socioeconomic status. These data invite research on interventions to increase CR access in deprived communities.

Factors associated with epinephrine administration for anaphylaxis in children before arrival to the emergency department.
Researchers evaluated factors associated with anaphylaxis management before arrival at the emergency department (ED) or urgent care center (UCC). Reactions occurring at home were less likely to be treated with epinephrine compared with reactions occurring at school. The odds of receiving epinephrine before arrival at the ED or UCC were significantly lower with a 2-organ system or 3-organ system presentation compared with 1-organ system involvement.

Sex differences in lipid profiles and treatment utilization among young adults with acute myocardial infarction: results from the VIRGO study.
This study characterized sex differences in lipid profiles and treatment utilization among young adults with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Young women with AMI had slightly favorable lipid and lipoprotein profiles compared with men, suggesting that difference in lipid and lipoprotein may not be a major contributor to sex differences in outcomes after AMI.
