MassHealth Social Determinants of Health Risk Adjustment Model: Version 4.0
Full text linkThe UMass Chan Medical School has worked with the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services to develop risk adjustment tools for the Massachusetts Medicaid Program (MassHealth) since 2014. We have explored how social determinants of health (SDH) factors and medical complexity can be used jointly to predict healthcare cost. The first SDH model was implemented in 2016. It was replaced by SDH version 2.0 in 2018 and SDH versions 3.0 to 3.2 from 2020 through 2023. Here we describe the most recent work on SDH model 4.0, built using calendar year (CY) 2019 data for 1.03 million MassHealth members whose average total cost of care was $5,995. Model 4.0 includes some modifications based on MassHealth’s knowledge of policy and pricing changes that will be in effect in 2024 but had no influence on the 2019 data. Implementation of model 4.0 will start January 1, 2024.Clinical and Population Health Researc

Outcome of medium-dose VP-16/CY/TBI superior to CY/TBI as a conditioning regimen for allogeneic stem cell transplantation in adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Full text linkThe choice of conditioning regimen before allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is important. We retrospectively compared outcomes of medium-dose VP-16/cyclophosphamide/total body irradiation (VP/CY/TBI) regimen and CY/TBI. Five hundred and twenty-nine patients (VP/CY/TBI: n = 35, CY/TBI: n = 494) who met all of the following criteria were compared: first time for SCT, aged 15-59 years; first or second complete remission at SCT; bone marrow or peripheral blood as stem cell source; and HLA phenotypically matched donor. Median age of the patients was 34 years, and patients who received VP/CY/TBI were younger (28 years vs. 34 years, P = 0.02). Cumulative incidences of relapse and non-relapse mortality (NRM) were higher for patients who received CY/TBI (P = 0.01 for relapse, P < 0.01 for NRM). After a median follow-up period of 36.9 months, 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 82.2% in the VP/CY/TBI group and 55.2% in the CY/TBI group. OS, and disease-free survival (DFS) in the VP/CY/TBI group were shown to be significantly better by multivariate analysis [hazard ratio: 0.21 (95% confidence interval: 0.06-0.49) for DFS, hazard ratio: 0.25 (95% confidence interval: 0.08-0.59) for OS]. VP/CY/TBI was associated with a lower relapse rate and no increase in NRM, resulting in better survival than that in CY/TBI for adult ALL patients
