Using gold-standard measurements and data from the Gen3G cohort, a prospective pre-birth cohort from Quebec, Canada, a new study senior-authored by Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute's Marie-France Hivert identified metabolite modules associated with adiposity and body fat distribution in childhood.

About us
The Department of Population Medicine (DPM) in the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute is a research and teaching collaboration between Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and Harvard Medical School. The Department was created in 1992 to focus on research and education as they relate to the care of large defined populations, including individuals who do not seek out care. As the nation's first medical school appointing department based in a health plan, we are strategically positioned to improve population health and health care delivery locally, nationally, and internationally. We’re distinctive for our scope, expertise, and collaborations. Our mission and activities are highly consonant with the National Academy of Medicine’s advocacy for a national Learning Health System – one that incorporates evidence-based practices into routine care, captures new knowledge as part of the ongoing delivery of care, and then applies new knowledge in a timely manner. The Department is housed in the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute, a limited liability corporation of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care. We are one of 15 Harvard Medical School affiliates. In 2021, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care combined with Tufts Health Plan, creating Point32Health. The Institute is also part of Point32Health and now partners with both health plans. Dr. Richard Platt is both Department Chair and President of the HPHC Institute.

New evidence comparing weight gain under eight different first-line #antidepressants finds that bupropion users are 15-20% less likely to gain a clinically significant amount of weight than users of sertraline, the most common medication. The study, published in Annals of Internal Medicine and led by Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute's Joshua Petimar, was recently covered by CNN.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and hypertensive disorders of #pregnancy (HDP), can lead to multiple pregnancy and delivery complications. Are sexual minority individuals at greater risk for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy compared to heterosexual individuals? In one of the few studies to quantify sexual orientation disparities in GDM and HDP, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute's Payal Chakraborty and team sought to estimate disparities of these disorders by sexual orientation.

#ICYMI - Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute's Sanjat Kanjilal presented as part of this informative webinar. Check it out, on-demand, below!
🎥On-demand | S. Aureus webinar In case you missed ISAC's recent webinar on "Antibiotic susceptibility patterns used for epidemiologic surveillance of S. aureus" you can watch it again on-demand. Thank you to the excellent speakers and to the ISAC MRSA Working Group for organising the webinar. It was very successful with over 500 registrants from over 100 countries. There have been recent studies in the US and Spain showing emerging resistance in MSSA to macrolides and to tetracyclines. ST398 S. aureus strains, initially identified as “livestock associated MRSA” are a fascinating example. Studies of clinical S. aureus strains have in some cases included molecular epidemiology suggesting that ST398 S. aureus strains may be responsible for a change in the relative prevalence of strains causing clinically significant disease. Other studies have examined national or transnational emergence of various increasingly common strains of MRSA and MSSA, using susceptibility patterns to track strain emergence or change over time. Listen to this webinar and hear from three experts in the field on these topics.

The evidence supporting medical product safety during pregnancy is often inadequate, while the ethical imperative to gather this information is great. A team of #SentinelInitiative researchers suggests that the Sentinel System, anational medical product surveillance system that includes administrative claims and electronic health record databases from large national and regional health insurers, provides a solution to fills this critical gap.

💡 Though flossing is considered an integral part of a daily oral hygiene routine, a new study co-authored by Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute's Izzuddin Aris found that the practice among U.S. adults has shown only a slight increase from 2009 to 2020. Read more in #JADAJournals:
This month in JADA, one study finds the prevalence of daily flossing among U.S. adults increased only slightly from 2009 to 2020, suggesting messaging to encourage adults to floss daily has been ineffective. https://lnkd.in/gX4J8D8W #JADAJournals Izzuddin Aris Harvard School of Dental Medicine Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute

Online now: a collaborative effort between researchers from Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention takes a closer look at how PCORnet and similar networks can fill in gaps for existing national surveillance infrastructure. The team, which includes Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute's Kshema Nagavedu, MPH; Soowoo Back, MPH, Christine Draper, Casie Horgan, Juliane Reynolds, and co-senior author Jason Block say that #EHR have an important role for public health surveillance both for chronic and infectious diseases, providing comprehensive information available soon after data collection. They suggest that strategic funding and financing models need to be developed, and federal, state, and local support could help establish EHRs as an important sustainable mechanism for surveillance.
