A key concern is ARIA, a brain swelling or bleeding that can be fatal in rare cases.
⭐️In a trial, 1 OUT OF 5 experienced ARIA, but <3% were symptomatic.
⭐️Two patients died of serious brain bleeds in an extension of the study.
"The benefits are very 1/2

Private equity: health care’s vampire. 🧛‍♀️ Purchases of hospitals, nursing homes, & physician practices by private equity firms are harming #healthcare .
⭐️Private equity(PE) firms routinely strip hospitals’ assets. Nationwide, in the 2 yrs post a PE takeover, hospitals lost nearly 1/4 of their real estate(~a $28 million loss/hospital). And, post takeovers, patients have experienced more falls & more sepsis.
⭐️ PE companies have followed a similar asset-stripping playbook for nursing homes.1/2
