As more information about virus transmission, symptoms, and comorbidities were reported over time, recommendations for reducing the spread of the virus within communities was provided by leading health organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).Methods: -Criteria were developed to identify health plan members most at risk for virus complications. Once members were identified, a health plan representative contacted each member to inquire about member needs, questions, and provide them with resources. Members were then tracked for COVID-19 testing results and vaccination status.Results: -Overall, 50,000+ members received an outreach call (during 8-month timeframe), and 26,000 calls were tracked for member outcomes. Over 50% of the outreach calls were answered by the health plan member. Of the members who were called, 1186 (4.4%) tested positive for COVID-19. Health plan members that could not be reached represented 55% of the positive cases. A chi-square test of the two populations (reached vs unable to reach) showed a significant difference in COVID-19 positive test results (N = 26,663, X2(1) = 16.33, P<0.01).Conclusions: -Community outreach was related to lower rates of COVID-19. Community connection is important, especially in tumultuous times, and proactive outreach to the community provides an opportunity for information sharing and community bonding.","PeriodicalId":39345,"journal":{"name":"Journal of insurance medicine (New York, N.Y.)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9330730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There were 268,593 deaths observed in this study population, after an average follow-up time of 10.9 years. Results were stratified by sex and by age less/greater than 60, creating 4 groups. Liver function test values were grouped using percentiles of their distribution within these age/ sex groups - so as to update the results generated in prior publications. Additional models were fit using different exclusions and percentile groups within single year age groups. Also, LFTs were treated as continuous variables and included in Cox models with age and smoking status.Results: -Using the risk of the middle 50% of the population by distribution as a reference, relative mortality observed for GGT and alkaline phosphatase was linear with a steep slope from very low to high values. AST showed a J-shaped association with mortality. ALT showed a low-magnitude inverse correlation with mortality. Albumin demonstrated a higher-magnitude inverse correlation with mortality, especially at values below the median. The overall risk associated with LFTs was durable over at least 10 years of follow-up.Conclusion: -Liver function tests show a strong and durable correlation to mortality in a large group of insurance applicants. The durability over time suggests that even older values of LFTs found in medical records could be of use in mortality risk prediction.","PeriodicalId":39345,"journal":{"name":"Journal of insurance medicine (New York, N.Y.)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40467514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
