Most pregnant individuals who died of suicide or overdose in one state sample had diagnoses of mental health or substance use conditions–but few received proper therapy before death, a new study with co-author Lindsay Admon, M.D., M.Sc., assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology, suggests.
Michigan Medicine researchers analyzed 237 maternal deaths due to suicide or overdose occurring between 2008 and 2018 in Michigan, finding that more than two-thirds of cases involved a documented behavioral health condition.

A new study in JAMA Network Open led by Thomas Cascino, M.D., M.Sc., clinical lecturer of internal medicine, finds a change to Medicare policy surrounding heart transplants may lead to increased inequities in access to transplants for patients with heart failure. Patients receiving left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) at transplant-capable centers had 79% higher odds to receive a bridge-to-transplant designation than patients treated at LVAD-only centers.
