... States with FPA have more access to primary care, and these gains tend to be concentrated in underserved rural areas (Graves et al., 2016;McMichael, 2018;Timmons et al., 2021). FPA lowers the likelihood that a county contains a HPSA, and patients are less likely to be located more than 30 miles from a primary care provider (McMichael, 2018;Neff et al., 2018). It also increases the frequency of patient visits and improves outcomes through improved access to care (Traczynski & Udaolva, 2018). ...

... However, there is no consensus among the guidelines on other possible indications, such as VTE despite anticoagulation, patients with recent VTE who must have anticoagulation held for surgery, and IVC placement for primary prevention in high-risk patients [5]. Moreover, as more filters have been placed, complications such as subsequent DVT, worsening post-thrombotic syndrome, as well as migration, perforation, and thrombosis of an IVC filter have been recognized [6]. Overall, there are unanswered questions regarding their efficacy for non-standard indications and more widely recognized complications. ...

... A total of 41 studies presented data on incident users [43,[48][49][50][51][52][54][55][56]62,[65][66][67]70,71,74,[83][84][85]97,101,[104][105][106][107]114,118,119,[123][124][125][126]128,129,133,150,153,154,161,165,167]. A total of 30 studies reported the number/proportion of adherent patients treated with biguanides [41,57,59,65,70,71,76,84,85,87,97,99,100,114,118,119,123,128,130,133,136,142,143,146,149,153,159,161,171,172], 23 with insulin secretagogues [41,43,52,59,65,66,70,71,76,84,97,99,123,128,133,136,142,146,149,159,165,171,172], 13 TZDs [41,59,65,66,70,71,84,123,133,142,143,149,159], 19 with DPP-4i [41,[50][51][52][65][66][67]84,99,101,121,123,125,126,137,142,143,149,159], 8 with SGLT-2i [43,[48][49][50]123,124,142,157], and 7 with α-glucosidase inhibitors [41,84,99,123,142,149,159]. All the studies (156) were included in the subgroup analysis by age and gender, 78 in the analysis by therapeutic regimen complexity [29-31,33,34,37,39,41,42,44,45,50,57,58,63,70,72,82,85-87,91,94,99-101,103-105, 107,114,115,117,123,128,129,133,142,146,151,156,160,163-165,167-169,178,181,182], 47 in the analysis by follow-up period for incident users [43,[48][49][50][51][52][54][55][56][65][66][67]71,74,[83][84][85]97,101,[104][105][106][107]114,119,[123][124][125][126]128,129,133,150,154,161,165,167,173], and 16 studies were included in the analysis measuring the association between good adherence and blood glucose control [40,41,88,98,102,105,109,116,120,131,140,149,152,173,174,180]. ...

... The patients were also monitored for a certain period of time following the procedure. When the patients were evaluated with HDFS after the endoscopic procedure, the median (range) score was 12 (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). According to the HDFS taking cut-off value as 12 points, 44 (22.9%) of the patients had a low risk for and 148 (77.1%) had a high-risk for a fall (Table 2). ...

... In contrast, insufficient nurse staffing has a negative impact on workrelated stress, job satisfaction, desire to change careers, and instances of infection exposure [6]. Ensuring a sufficient number of nurses has a positive effect on hospital financial performance by increasing profitability and reducing expenditures, such as nurse turnover and associated costs [7,8]. ...
