Abstract The AMAGuides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides) is the most widely used basis for determining impairment and is used in state workers’ compensation systems, federal systems, automobile casualty, and personal injury, as well as by the majority of state workers’ compensation jurisdictions. Two tables summarize the edition of the AMA Guides used and provide information by state. The fifth edition (2000) is the most commonly used edition: California, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Vermont, and Washington. Eleven states use the sixth edition (2007): Alaska, Arizona, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, and Wyoming. Eight states still commonly make use of the fourth edition (1993): Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, South Dakota, Texas, and West Virginia. Two states use the Third Edition, Revised (1990): Colorado and Oregon. Connecticut does not stipulate which edition of the AMA Guides to use. Six states use their own state specific guidelines (Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, and Wisconsin), and six states do not specify a specific guideline (Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, South Carolina, and Virginia). Statutes may or may not specify which edition of the AMA Guides to use. Some states use their own guidelines for specific problems and use the Guides for other issues.

Abstract Background Human babesiosis is a mild-to-severe parasitic infection that poses health concerns especially in older and other at-risk populations. The study objective was to assess babesiosis occurrence among the U.S. Medicare beneficiaries, ages 65 and older, during 2006-2017. Methods Our retrospective claims-based study utilized Medicare databases. Babesiosis cases were identified using recorded diagnosis codes. The study estimated rates (per 100,000 beneficiary-years) overall, by year, diagnosis month, demographics, state and county of residence. Results Nationwide, 19,469 beneficiaries had babesiosis recorded, a rate of 6 per 100,000 person-years, ranging from 4 in 2006 to 9 in 2017 (p<0.05). The highest babesiosis rates were in: Massachusetts (62), Rhode Island (61), Connecticut (51), New York (30), and New Jersey (19). The highest rates by county were in: Nantucket, MA (1,089); Dukes, MA (236); Barnstable, MA (213); and Dutchess, NY (205). Increasing rates, from 2006 through 2017 (p<0.05), were identified in multiple states, including states previously considered non-endemic. New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Pennsylvania, and Delaware saw rates increase by several times. Conclusion Our 12-year study shows substantially increasing babesiosis diagnosis trends, with highest rates in well-established endemic states. It also suggests expansion of babesiosis infections in other states and highlights the utility of real-world evidence.
