ExpandAmong adults who have had a documented substance overdose, those who started on a GLP-1 had a 39% lower risk of a repeat overdose within three years of their overdose compared to patients who were never prescribed a GLP-1. Patients who started and later discontinued a GLP-1 still had a 20% lower risk than patients who never used a GLP-1.

ExpandAmong adult patients living in states that have legalized sports betting, the quarterly rate of diagnosed gambling disorder rose from 3.0 per 100,000 patients in Q1 2018 to 4.8 per 100,000 in Q1 2026, around a 61% increase.
ExpandBased on colorectal cancer detection rates among more than 3 million screening-eligible adults, our model estimates that at age 40 approximately 111 cancers would be detected per 100,000 screenings, compared with 159 per 100,000 screenings at age 45, the current recommended starting age. Based on the model, this equates to nearly 44% more 40-year-olds needing to be screened to detect one colorectal cancer (CRC) case compared to the number of 45-year-olds who would need to be screened.

ExpandMale patients aged 10 to 15 who had an ED visit for a motor vehicle crash (MVC) were as much as four times as likely to experience a subsequent firearm injury compared with those whose ED visit was for a fall, in some parts of the United States.
ExpandThe risks of myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke, and hemorrhagic stroke are increased for patients with high or low average systolic blood pressure (BP). The risks are greater at very low systolic BP than at very high systolic BP.
