Heard from @AHRQNews that the entire grants staff has been let go. They are unable to issue funds for grants already funded, let alone fund new grants. This will make Americans poorer and sicker. Why? A brief thread about just some recent AHRQ-funded research:

Can someone please explain this: A life has value at conception, but not when it's nine years old and sitting in a classroom? 😢

Lose a couple of million workers to early retirement here, lose a couple of million would-be immigrants there -- all of a sudden you're talking real numbers. A look at how America's tight jobs market today is a prelude to "perpetual labour shortage". economist.com/united-states/…

Staffing shortages in America are a glimpse into its future

Even as the pandemic ebbs, the pool of potential workers may be permanently smaller than once assumed

A lot of chatter about hospitalization "with" versus "for" COVID, implying current hospitalization wave isn't "real." NY state is going to start trying to report the distinction; UK already does. Some thoughts, with exemplar data. /1

Took a Twitter break for several months to help get @NIH #RecoverCOVID up and running to study #LongCovid (AKA #PASC). Thrilled to report @UTHealthSA @UHHospitals have enrolled our first 7 participants! Congrats to them and cast of 1000s working night and day to kick it off. /1

What's important to our Division? Mentorship! That's why we love putting on Hospitalist Career Mentorship panels for our @nyulangone residents. Shoutout to our diverse and inspiring panel of leaders! Take-home message: say "YES" and do important work that you love. 🙂

Sign of the times: 7 year old daughter was asked to make category lists. For drinks she said (in order): negroni, milk, juice, wine, coffee, tea...

Particularly great work by @HayleyBelli. Full RCT to start soon!

Now officially in print @JournalGIM, @devin_mann @SaulBlecker et al use behavioral econ-inspired nudges to reduce overtreatment for older pts with diabetes. 5 percentage point increase in adherence in pilot, though still <25%: more work to be done! link.springer.com/article/10…

Misleading tweet/ headline! ⬇️ in hospitalisation doesn't necessarily lead to ⬆️ in mortality Also this trend could suggest prior overuse of hospitalization or improved self-management. #COVID19

Seconded (as lead author). The drop in hospitalizations is likely due to a bunch of factors and may even reflect improved lifestyle

No. I am senior author. We do not show that "lockdowns lead to deaths." We show that non-covid volume dropped dramatically at peak, but likely because people were terrified to come in. And, updated data show some non-covid disease now actually lower. xitter.cf/leorahorwitzmd/status/…

Paper out today on non-COVID admissions in the time of COVID @JAMAInternalMed. Admittedly, this was more interesting in July, when it was accepted, so here is special bonus content to update it. @SaulBlecker @jones_prof @ajadmon @PetrilliMD @Francois1Fritz jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

Hospitalizations for Chronic Disease and Acute Conditions in the Time of COVID-19

This study examines the frequency of hospitalization for all non–COVID-19-related conditions in a health system at the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic.
