Weight change may vary by antiseizure medication. A new study led by HPHCI found Topiramate was linked to weight loss at 6 and 12 months, whether continued or just started, while other ASMs were linked to greater weight gain—offering key insights for patients and clinicians.

A new study led by HPHCI found that generic versions of high-risk medications took 25% longer to be approved when a REMS program was in place. The findings highlight the importance of designing policies that are safe and ensure timely affordable treatment for patients.

New research by HPHCI and colleagues examined weight differences across hypertensive medications and found small changes, with lisinopril linked to weight loss and metoprolol and propranolol to modest weight gain. Clinicians are encouraged to consider this when prescribing.

Nearly all US public schools restrict cell phone use, with elementary schools having the strictest bans and high schools and schools in low- and medium-poverty neighborhoods having less strict policies.

Maternal health care in the U.S. is in crisis, especially within Medicaid, which covers over 40% of births. A new study led by HPHCI, BMC, and BUSPH explore this question and found that both primary care and health systems led models improve care, but in different ways.

What do cell phone bans in U.S. public schools look like?
A new study by HPHCI's Hao Yu and colleagues assessed this question. Researchers surveyed K–12 principals nationwide and found most schools limit phone use, but policies vary by grade and neighborhood.

In a recent thought piece, HPHCIs Chanu Rhee and Michael Klompas explore whether current sepsis definitions are too broad—leading to aggressive treatment for patients who may not need it. They suggest refining definitions to better target those who need urgent, intensive care.

Treating sepsis quickly with antibiotics is critical—but does the order in which they’re given make a difference?
HPHCI’s researchers explored this question and found that giving β-lactams before vancomycin was associated with lower mortality in patients with sepsis.
