The ageing of people living with cystic fibrosis: what to expect now?

The prognosis of people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) has improved dramatically with the introduction of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators (CFTRm). The ageing of the cystic fibrosis (CF) population is changing the disease landscape with the emergence of different needs and increasing comorbidities related to both age and long-term exposure to multiple treatments including CFTRm. Although the number of pwCF eligible for this treatment is expected to increase, major disparities in care and outcomes still exist in this population. Moreover, the long-term impact of the use of CFTRm is still partly unknown due to the current short follow-up and experience with their use, thus generating some uncertainties. The future spread and initiation of these drugs at an earlier stage of the disease is expected to reduce the systemic burden of systemic inflammation and its consequences on health. However, the prolonged life expectancy is accompanied by an increasing burden of age-related comorbidities, especially in the context of chronic disease. The clinical manifestations of the comorbidities directly or indirectly associated with CFTR dysfunction are changing, along with the disease dynamics and outcomes. Current protocols used to monitor slow disease progression will need continuous updates, including the composition of the multidisciplinary team for CF care, with a greater focus on the needs of the adult population.

How Early Career Family Medicine Women Physicians Negotiate Their First Job After Residency

Background:

Nested within a growing body of evidence of a gender pay gap in medicine are more alarming recent findings from family medicine: a gender pay gap of 16% can be detected at a very early career stage. This article explores qualitative evidence of women’s experiences negotiating for their first job out of residency to ascertain women’s engagement with and approach to the negotiation process.

Methods:

We recruited family physicians who graduated residency in 2019 and responded to the American Board of Family Medicine 2022 graduate survey. We developed a semistructured interview guide following a modified life history approach to uncover women’s experiences through the transitory stages from residency to workforce. A qualitative researcher used Zoom to interview 19 geographically and racially diverse early career women physicians. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using NVivo software following an Inductive Content Analysis approach.

Results:

Three main themes emerged from the data. First, salary was found to be nonnegotiable, exemplified by participants’ inability to change initial salary offers. Second, the role of peer support throughout residency and early career was crucial to uncovering and rectifying salary inequity. Third, a pay expectation gap was identified among women from minority and low-income households.

Conclusion:

To rectify the gender pay gap in medicine, a systems-level approach is required. This can be achieved through various levels of interventions: societally expanding the use of and removing the stigma around parental leave, recognizing the importance of contributions not currently valued by productivity-based payment models, examining assumptions about leadership; and institutionally moving away from fee-for-service systems, encouraging flexible schedules, increasing salary transparency, and improving advancement transparency.

Downstream Effects of Market Changes on Inhalers: Impacts on Individuals With Chronic Lung Disease

COPD and asthma are two of the most common chronic lung diseases, affecting over 545 million people globally and 34 million in the United States. Annual health care costs related to chronic lung disease are estimated at €380 billion in the European Union, and $24–$50 billion in the United States averaging to $4,000 in out-of-pocket costs per person in the U.S. A full-text literature search was conducted for English publications between January 1, 2005–March 18, 2024. It returned over 5,000 publications that were further narrowed using key search words, resulting in 172 peer-reviewed articles. Using their experience and subject expertise, the authors further narrowed the peer-reviewed articles to 55 that were in their opinion relevant. Also, 38 recently published industry reports and news articles specific to downstream effects of inhaler market changes and the future impact were included. The literature suggests that individuals with chronic lung disease face increased challenges with access to inhaled medication due to rising medication costs, discontinuation of branded medications, introduction of generic medications not covered by insurance, exclusionary preferred drug list tactics that force health care providers into non-medical switching of medication or devices, and ongoing medication shortages. Providers experience ongoing hurdles in prescribing appropriate inhaled medications for individuals with chronic lung disease, including increased time and costs spent on administrative tasks due to inhaler denials, a loss of patient trust, and limits on their ability to prescribe appropriate inhaled medication for individuals with chronic lung disease.
