- Two RECOVER Studies Leverage PCORnet® for New Insights on ‘Long COVID’ December 19, 2022
As COVID-19 viral variants continue to spread, so too grows the population of those who experience COVID-19’s effects months after the acute illness has passed. Now two new manuscripts in Nature Medicine and JAMA Pediatrics show how the RECOVER initiative is using PCORnet®, the National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network, to shed new light on who is impacted and how.

- Gastrectomy has more favorable safety outcomes for Black and Hispanic patients—but that may not mean it’s the better weight loss surgery December 7, 2022The PCORnet® Bariatric Study has found that there are significant differences in safety and utilization outcomes for Black and Hispanic patients who had Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (bypass) compared with sleeve gastrectomy (gastrectomy). While weight loss and diabetes outcomes were similar across racial and ethnic groups for both bypass and gastrectomy, Black and Hispanic patients had a greater risk of hospitalization ...
- PCORI Annual Meeting Reinforces PCORnet® as a Powerful Resource, Effectively Surfacing Patient-Centered Insights November 29, 2022The 2022 PCORI Annual Meeting took place on October 26-27, providing opportunities for leaders from PCORnet®, the National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network, to showcase the Network’s impact. By highlighting how PCORnet has been used to answer important questions relevant to the lives of patients and those who care for them, presenters at the meeting, they demonstrated how the Network is ...
- Use of Smartphone Technology Won’t Yield Lower Blood Pressure Readings, Says New PCORnet® Research October 25, 2022Mobile technology is fueling new frontiers in healthcare, promising easier management of chronic conditions through applications that send reminders, record readings, track trend lines, and allow users to share results with their clinician at the push of a button. In theory, such apps will drive better engagement and accountability, improving health outcomes. But do the apps live up to the ...

The 2022 PCORI Annual Meeting is fast approaching on October 26-27, and PCORnet®, the National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network, will be featured prominently across the two-day event as PCORI’s premier health data infrastructure investment. This virtual meeting will bring together researchers, clinicians, patients, and other stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem. It highlights the progress of PCORI’s funding initiatives, including PCORnet, ...
- Which of the Two Newer Classes of Diabetes Drugs is Better? Patients and PCORnet® Will Guide Answers August 29, 2022Two newer classes of type 2 diabetes medications have the potential to transform the way people manage the condition that currently impacts more than 32 million Americans. Recent studies have shown that sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) not only control blood sugar, but may also reduce risk of heart attack, stroke, hospitalization for heart ...
- PCORnet® Is Helping Researchers Unravel the Mystery of Long-Haul COVID August 22, 2022Today, almost 60 percent of the U.S. has been infected with COVID-19, a figure the CDC says is likely a conservative estimate. While most people infected recover fully in a matter of weeks, millions of people continue to suffer the effects of COVID-19 months—or even years—after initial infection. When COVID-19 effects are felt for this long after initially testing positive, ...
- PCORnet® Resources Are Being Used to Reduce Gaps in Congenital Heart Disease Care August 4, 2022PCORnet®, the National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network, is helping a research team to better understand how gaps in care impact the experience of adults with congenital heart disease, or CHD. The CHI-RON study, which stands for Congenital Heart Initiative: Redefining Outcomes and Navigation to Adult-Centered Care, is combining clinical and claims data insights from PCORnet with patient-reported data to help ...
- The science of patient engagement: How PCORnet® is leading the next hot topic in clinical research June 21, 2022PCORnet®, the National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network, was designed with the premise that having patients as equal partners in all aspects of the network would revolutionize the way we seek research answers. Now, a new manuscript published in Learning Health Systems shares how the PCORnet infrastructure can serve as a model for the burgeoning science of patient engagement, providing much-needed ...
- When Answers Can’t Wait: PCORnet® Data Resources Speed COVID-19 Research June 3, 2022The urgent need for COVID-19 insights demanded that researchers everywhere join forces to bridge clinical science with data science and speed meaningful answers to patients. PCORnet®, the National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network, was one of the earliest collaborators in the pandemic in April of 2020 when the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reached out to the Coordinating ...
