The 2022 ACR vaccination guideline: a call-to-action

Among the limited quality and quantity of evidence on vaccination use in individuals with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases, a new guideline, developed with a rigorous methodology, provides useful support to clinicians and patients in making health-related decisions. Most recommendations are conditional, serving as a call to action for further research.

Missed routine cardiovascular treatments during the COVID-19 pandemic

We demonstrate the power of a data-informed medicines-based approach in discovering the indirect effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on cardiovascular events using 1.32 billion records of dispensed medications in England, Scotland and Wales. We estimate that interruption of preventive care could result in more than 13,000 extra cardiovascular events.

Climate change-fuelled natural disasters and chronic kidney disease: a call for action

People with kidney disease are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of natural disasters and extreme weather events. As climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of these events, a robust response is needed to improve disaster preparedness and increase the resilience of these patients.

Heat and health inequity: acting on determinants of health to promote heat justice

Climate change is increasing global temperatures and causing more frequent and severe extreme heat events. The resulting additional disease burden is inequitably distributed. Strategies that reduce inequities in heat exposure and vulnerability to heat-related illness, as well as health protections at multiple levels (from individual to regional), are urgently needed to contain the looming crisis.
