NHS Clinical Commissioners
Advancing population health management
Population health management (PHM) – the use of data to identify specific groups within a population that may have similar characteristics and similar needs, and develop targeted interventions to meet those needs – was a notable theme of the NHS long-term plan. But it’s something that clinical commissioners have been doing for some time. This report brings together PHM stories from 10 different areas of England – led by clinical commissioners – to demonstrate the progress that has already been made in advancing this approach to health care, and what more will need to be done.

Limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE): consensus working group report
Brain, awz099, https://doi.org/10.1093/brain/awz099
This study describes a recently recognized disease entity, limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE). LATE shares similar symptoms to Alzheimer’s disease, but it is a distinct disease linked to different brain proteins. Interventions designed for Alzheimer’s disease will therefore be ineffective for LATE. Developing an understanding of LATE will hopefully lead to new avenues of research into dementia treatments and care.
