The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) and the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) have launched a new performance improvement activity credit reporting process called the AAFP Credit System, according to an article published by the AAFP. To streamline the overall credit approval process, the AAFP and ABFM developed a system that allows continuing medical education (CME) providers to apply for AAFP Performance Improvement CME Credit and ABFM Certification Activity points for their performance improvement activities through the AAFP Credit System using a single application process. CME providers who apply for credit using the new process only pay one fee and do not have to complete two applications. In addition, for AAFP members reporting eligible CME credit for a performance improvement activity, the ABFM will automatically be notified that the performance improvement certification activity has been completed.

Aspirin therapy is associated with a reduced risk of hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), according to a study scheduled for presentation at The Liver Meeting, held by the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases from Oct. 20 to 24 in Washington, D.C. Teng-Yu Lee, M.D., Ph.D., from Taichung Veterans General Hospital in Taiwan, and colleagues used data from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database from 1998 to 2012. Patients with non-hepatitis B infections were excluded, as were those with HCC before the follow-up index dates. A total of 1,553 patients who continuously received daily aspirin ≥90 days were randomly matched (1-to-4 ratio) with 6,212 patients who never received anti-platelet therapy based on baseline characteristics, the index date, and nucelos(t)ide analogue (NA) use during follow-up. The researchers found that the cumulative incidence of HCC in the treated group was significantly lower than that in the untreated group in five years (2.86 percent versus 5.59 percent). Aspirin therapy was independently associated with a reduced HCC risk (hazard ratio [HR], 0.63) in a multivariable regression analysis. An increased HCC risk was independently associated with older age (HR, 1.03 per year), male gender (HR, 2.65), cirrhosis (HR, 1.89), and diabetes mellitus (HR, 1.51). NA (HR, 0.57) and statin (HR, 0.57) use were associated with a decreased HCC risk.
