    Abstract Background: Whether patients' reports of gaps in care coordination reflect clinically significant problems is unclear.
    Objective: To determine any association between patient-reported gaps in care coordination and patient-reported preventable adverse outcomes.
    Design and participants: We administered a cross-sectional survey on experiences with healthcare to participants in the national Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study who were ≥ 65 years old. Of the 15,817 participants in REGARDS at the time of our survey (August 2017-November 2018), 11,138 completed the survey. We restricted the sample to participants who reported ≥ 2 ambulatory visits and ≥ 2 ambulatory providers in the past year (N = 7568).
    Main measures: We considered 7 gaps in ambulatory care coordination, elicited with previously validated questions. We considered 4 outcomes: (1) a test that was repeated because the doctor did not have the result of the first test, (2) a drug-drug interaction that occurred due to multiple prescribers, (3) an emergency department visit that could have been prevented by better communication among providers, and (4) a hospital admission that could have been prevented by better communication among providers. We used logistic regression to determine the association between ≥ 1 gap in care coordination and ≥ 1 preventable outcome, adjusting for potential confounders.
    Key results: The average age of the sample was 77.0 years; 55% were female, and 34% were African-American. More than one-third of participants (38.1%) reported ≥ 1 gap in care coordination and nearly one-tenth (9.8%) reported ≥ 1 preventable outcome. Having ≥ 1 gap in care coordination was associated with an increased odds of ≥ 1 preventable outcome (adjusted odds ratio 1.55; 95% confidence interval 1.33, 1.81).
    Conclusions: Participants' reports of gaps in care coordination were associated with an increased odds of preventable adverse outcomes. Future interventions should leverage patients' observations to detect and resolve gaps in care coordination.

    Abstract Background: Research on the quality and cost of care traditionally focuses on individual physicians or medical groups. Social network theory suggests that the care a patient receives also depends on the network of physicians with whom a patient's physician is connected.
    Objectives: The objectives of the study are: (1) identify physician networks; (2) determine whether the rate of ambulatory care-sensitive hospital admissions (ACSAs) varies across networks--even different networks at the same hospital; and (3) determine the relationship between ACSA rates and network characteristics.
    Research design: We identified networks by applying network detection algorithms to Medicare 2008 claims for 987,000 beneficiaries in 5 states. We estimated a fixed-effects model to determine the relationship between networks and ACSAs and a multivariable model to determine the relationship between network characteristics and ACSAs.
    Results: We identified 417 networks. Mean size: 129 physicians; range, 26-963. In the fixed-effects model, ACSA rates varied significantly across networks: there was a 46% difference in rates between networks at the 25th and 75th performance percentiles. At 95% of hospitals with admissions from 2 networks, the networks had significantly different ACSA rates; the mean difference was 36% of the mean ACSA rate. Networks with a higher percentage of primary-care physicians and networks in which patients received care from a larger number of physicians had higher ACSA rates.
    Conclusions: Physician networks have a relationship with ACSAs that is independent of the physicians in the network. Physician networks could be an important focus for understanding variations in medical care and for intervening to improve care.

    Abstract Objectives: To use natural language processing (NLP) of text from electronic medical records (EMRs) to identify failed communication attempts between home health nurses and physicians, to identify predictors of communication failure, and to assess the association between communication failure and hospital readmission.
    Design: Retrospective cohort study.
    Setting: Visiting Nurse Service of New York (VNSNY), the nation's largest freestanding home health agency.
    Participants: Medicare beneficiaries with congestive heart failure who received home health care from VNSNY after hospital discharge in 2008-09 (N = 5,698).
    Measurements: Patient-level measures of communication failure and risk-adjusted 30-day all-cause readmission.
    Results: Identification of failed communication attempts using NLP had high external validity (kappa = 0.850, P < .001). A mean of 8% of communication attempts failed per episode of home care; failure rates were higher for black patients and lower for patients from higher median income ZIP codes. The association between communication failure and readmission was not significant with adjustment for patient, nurse, physician, and hospital factors.
    Conclusion: NLP of EMRs can be used to identify failed communication attempts between home health nurses and physicians, but other variables mostly explained the association between communication failure and readmission. Communication failures may contribute to readmissions in more-serious clinical situations, an association that this study may have been underpowered to detect.

    Abstract Venetoclax (Ven) is a selective small-molecule inhibitor of BCL-2 that exhibits antitumoral activity against MM cells with t(11;14) translocation. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of Ven and dexamethasone (VenDex) combination in patients with t(11;14) positive relapsed/refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM). This open-label, multicenter study had two distinct phases (phase one [P1], phase two [P2]). Patients in both phases received VenDex (oral Ven 800 mg/day + oral Dex 40 mg [20 mg for patients ≥75 years] on days 1, 8, and 15, per 21-day cycle). The primary objective of the P1 VenDex cohort was to assess safety and pharmacokinetics. Phase two further evaluated efficacy with objective response rate (ORR) and very good partial response or better. Correlative studies explored baseline BCL2 (BCL-2) and BCL2L1 (BCL-X
