Low-Value Diagnostic Imaging in Children with Medicaid

Jennifer R. Marin et al.

Summary: A retrospective study in pediatric Medicaid beneficiaries in Pennsylvania estimated rates and settings of low-value imaging and associated expenditures. Findings showed that more than 1 in 20 encounters included low-value imaging, mostly in non-pediatric EDs, with bronchiolitis, head trauma, and headache being the most common conditions. Interventions are needed to decrease the future performance of these low-value services.

Trends in Low-Value Health Service Use and Spending in the US Medicare Fee-for-Service Program, 2014-2018

John N. Mafi et al.

Summary: This cross-sectional study found that among individuals with fee-for-service Medicare receiving any of 32 measured services, low-value care use and spending decreased marginally from 2014 to 2018, despite a national education campaign in collaboration with clinician specialty societies and increased attention on low-value care. While most use of low-value care came from 3 services, 1 of these was opioid prescriptions, which increased over time despite the harms associated with their use.

Identifying Conditions With High Prevalence, Cost, and Variation in Cost in US Children's Hospitals

Peter J. Gill et al.

Summary: This study identified high-priority pediatric conditions for comparative effectiveness research in hospital pediatrics based on prevalence, cost, and variation in cost using data from US children's hospitals. Major depressive disorder, scoliosis, acute appendicitis with peritonitis, asthma, and dehydration were found to have high prevalence, costs, and variation in cost ranks. These results could guide future research to improve care and outcomes for hospitalized children.
