Using nationally representative data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS), Preetika will examine whether early antiviral treatment, such as Paxlovid or Tamiflu, reduces the likelihood of inappropriate antibiotic use during subsequent illness episodes. This work addresses an important gap in antimicrobial stewardship by evaluating how timely antiviral therapy may help curb unnecessary antibiotic prescribing, a key driver of antimicrobial resistance. She will also investigate which patient and provider characteristics are associated with inappropriate antibiotic use, using predictors like frailty, comorbidities, and healthcare access. The goal is to generate real-world, policy-relevant evidence to inform safer, more effective prescribing practices for older adults, a population that disproportionately experiences the harms of both infection and medication overuse.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-img alignleft wp-image-33311 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/sop.washington.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shiven-Bhardwaj-300x240.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Shiven Bhardwaj\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staff.washington.edu\/twentzel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shiven-Bhardwaj-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staff.washington.edu\/twentzel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shiven-Bhardwaj-200x160.jpg 200w, https:\/\/staff.washington.edu\/twentzel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shiven-Bhardwaj-375x300.jpg 375w, https:\/\/staff.washington.edu\/twentzel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shiven-Bhardwaj.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Shiven Bhardwaj, 4th year PhD Student<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n<h6><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Assessing Impact of the Inflation Reduction Act on Long Term Care Pharmacies<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Passed in 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) includes provisions designed to lower Medicare Part D spending and improve prescription affordability.

As sexual minority older adults are less likely to have family caregivers and report higher anxiety about engaging with healthcare professionals, she aims to study if those differences impact pharmaceutical utilization and pharmacological outcomes. Results will additionally be analyzed by dementia status to determine if differences are exacerbated by the condition.

Leveraging rich real-world data, he expertly combines the target trial emulation framework with advanced machine learning methods to evaluate survival outcomes among patients treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in combination with abiraterone, apalutamide, enzalutamide, or docetaxel. By comparing these four treatment strategies, his study addresses an important evidence gap resulting from the absence of head-to-head randomized clinical trials directly evaluating these therapies. His findings will generate robust real-world comparative effectiveness data to support evidence-based treatment decisions by clinicians and patients, while also informing clinical guidelines and policy recommendations.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"none\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-img alignleft wp-image-32552 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/sop.washington.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/olivia-yip-1-300x355.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staff.washington.edu\/twentzel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/olivia-yip-1-300x355.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staff.washington.edu\/twentzel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/olivia-yip-1-200x236.jpg 200w, https:\/\/staff.washington.edu\/twentzel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/olivia-yip-1-375x443.jpg 375w, https:\/\/staff.washington.edu\/twentzel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/olivia-yip-1.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Olivia Yip, 2nd Year MS Fellow<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n<h6>\n<i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Cost-Utility Analysis of Non-Prescription Oseltamivir for Influenza Treatment<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Influenza is a viral respiratory infection that causes significant morbidity and mortality in older adults. Oseltamivir, when initiated within 48 hours of symptom onset, has been shown to reduce the duration of symptoms and the risk of serious complications. However, the current requirement for a prescription can delay treatment initiation, limiting its potential benefit. With increasing availability of rapid diagnostic tests, reclassifying oseltamivir to be available without a prescription following a positive influenza test may improve timely access and utilization. To evaluate this strategy, Olivia is conducting a decision-analytic modeling assessing the cost-effectiveness of oseltamivir reclassification from both the U.S. healthcare sector and limited societal perspectives. The hope is that this work would help facilitate earlier initiation of antiviral therapy and reduce influenza-related complications, hospitalizations, and healthcare expenditures among older adults.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_33635\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33635\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"figure figure-caption wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-img wp-image-33635 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/sop.washington.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/54454980791_a8d4f297e1_o-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staff.washington.edu\/twentzel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/54454980791_a8d4f297e1_o-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/staff.washington.edu\/twentzel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/54454980791_a8d4f297e1_o-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staff.washington.edu\/twentzel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/54454980791_a8d4f297e1_o-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staff.washington.edu\/twentzel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/54454980791_a8d4f297e1_o-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/staff.washington.edu\/twentzel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/54454980791_a8d4f297e1_o-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/staff.washington.edu\/twentzel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/54454980791_a8d4f297e1_o-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/staff.washington.edu\/twentzel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/54454980791_a8d4f297e1_o-375x250.jpg 375w, https:\/\/staff.washington.edu\/twentzel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/54454980791_a8d4f297e1_o-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-33635\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Julia Fox presented her work at the 2025 Plein Center Research Symposium <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Plein Center for Aging is a global leader in transformative pharmacy research, education, and outreach.
