those receiving more than $100 in cash or other forms of remuneration were more than three times as likely to give HA injections under Medicare Part B than those receiving no payments (OR 3.28, 95% CI 2.70-3.98), according to Nishant Uppal, MD, MBA, of Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Timothy S. Anderson, MD, MAS, of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, both in Boston.

The number of injections given was also linked to industry payments. The researchers calculated a rate ratio of 2.15 (95% CI 1.92-2.41) for giving HA shots among physicians with "high procedural volume," defined as more than 250 large joint injections annually, among those paid more than $100 versus physicians receiving no industry monies.

Another example of throw dreck against the wall and see if it sticks. You don't post an opinion of your source rather just throw it against the wall. What is your interpretation ?
It would behoove you to read the actual article: jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmed...cle-abstract/2802543

How about the clinics who were paid to give mRNA shots?

I am sorry that you are hypersensitive to medications.
The JAMA presents a study regarding the number of Hyaluronic Acid injections administered by practitioners, there is no mention drug sensitivity.

This is an open forum and you can post what you like. Just understand that citing an opinion piece, believing it to be factual, and ignoring the actual publication, reflects poorly on you.

Physicians accepting payments from drug and device companies administered significantly more hyaluronic acid (HA) injections to Medicare beneficiaries for knee osteoarthritis, researchers found.

Those receiving more than $100 in cash or other forms of remuneration were more than three times as likely to give HA injections under Medicare Part B than those receiving no payments (OR 3.28, 95% CI 2.70-3.98), according to Nishant Uppal, MD, MBA, of Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Timothy S. Anderson, MD, MAS, of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, both in Boston.

The number of injections given was also linked to industry payments. The researchers calculated a rate ratio of 2.15 (95% CI 1.92-2.41) for giving HA shots among physicians with "high procedural volume," defined as more than 250 large joint injections annually, among those paid more than $100 versus physicians receiving no industry monies.

JAMA Internal Medicine in a new published the study as part of its "Less Is More" highlighting treatments and procedures with questionable benefits for patients.

"Guidelines recommend against routine use of hyaluronic acid yet Medicare spending on hyaluronic acid exceeded $440 million in 2019," Uppal and Anderson observed, noting as well that meta-analyses have not found that such injections help patients substantially.

the article DOES NOT have sensitivity issues in the content...IT IS MY ISSUE
