8. Preoperative GLP-1 Receptor Agonists and Risk of Postoperative Respiratory Complications—Reply.

Author

Dixit, Anjali A., Bateman, Brian T., and Sun, Eric C.

Subjects
SURGICAL complications, GLUCAGON-like peptide-1 agonists, ELECTIVE surgery, GLUCAGON-like peptide-1 receptor, RESPIRATORY aspiration
Abstract

A recent analysis published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found no association between the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) before surgery and postoperative respiratory complications in patients who underwent emergency surgery. The study focused on emergency surgery patients because they were likely unable to withhold their GLP-1 RA medications before the procedure and were expected to have a higher risk of pulmonary aspiration. The study concluded that the routine full-stomach precautions taken by anesthesiologists during emergency surgeries were safe and effective for patients taking GLP-1 RAs, suggesting that these precautions would also be safe for patients undergoing elective surgery. The study also addressed concerns about the sensitivity of claims-based codes to detect postoperative respiratory complications and clarified the difference between "guidelines" and "guidance" in relation to GLP-1 RA medication withholding times.

19. The link between health and economic preferences: Evidence from 22 OECD countries.

Author

Cen, Xi, Johnston, David W., Kung, Claryn S. J., Shields, Michael A., and Sun, Eric C.

Abstract

We study the link between health status and economic preferences using survey data from 22 Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) countries. We hypothesize that there is a relationship between poor health and the preferences that people hold, and therefore their choices and decisions. We find that individuals with a limiting health condition are more risk averse and less patient, and that this is true for physical and mental health conditions. The magnitudes of the health gap are approximately 60% and 70% of the gender gap in risk and time preferences, respectively. Importantly, the health gaps are large for males, females, young, old, school dropouts, degree holders, employed, nonemployed, rich, and poor. They also hold for countries with different levels of gross domestic product (GDP), inequality, social expenditure, and disease burden. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
