Reliance on prescription opioids for postprocedural analgesia has contributed to the opioid epidemic. With implementation of electronic medical record (EMR) systems, there been increasing use computerized order entry systems medication prescriptions, which is now more common than handwritten prescriptions. The EMR can autopopulate a default number pills prescribed, and 1 potential method alter prescriber behavior change presented via system.To investigate association lowering when...
Background With over a decade of directed efforts to reduce sex and racial differences in coronary artery bypass grafting ( CABG ) utilization, post‐ outcomes, we sought evaluate how the use its outcomes have evolved different subgroups. Methods Results Using data on all fee‐for‐service Medicare beneficiaries undergoing United States from 1999 2014, examined by race calendar‐year trends for utilization (in‐hospital, 30‐day, 1‐year mortality 30‐day readmission). A total 1 863 719 (33.6%...
<h3>Importance</h3> The Hartmann procedure (end colostomy) remains a common operation for diverticulitis requiring surgery. However, the timing of subsequent colostomy reversal widely varied, and optimal unknown. <h3>Objective</h3> To investigate association with operative outcomes. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This retrospective analysis Healthcare Cost Utilization Project State Inpatient Databases California, Florida Maryland included patients linked to their reversal. Patients...
This cohort study examines expected vs observed rates of firearm-related injury hospitalizations in the US during COVID-19 pandemic.
BACKGROUND Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is common after major injury. This elevated VTE risk likely continues beyond hospital discharge, but a lack of postdischarge surveillance limits our understanding this complication and opportunities for improving outcomes. We aimed to characterize the incidence factors trauma patients who developed in first year discharge from their index admission. METHODS used data adult inpatients (18 years or older) 35 American College Surgeons - Committee on...

Given the high morbidity and mortality associated with meningococcal disease, in 2007 Advisory Committee of Immunization Practices recommended immunization all children ages 11-18 a protein-conjugated vaccine. There are limited data on immunogenicity this vaccine after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Since 2007, we have immunized 48 patients MCV4 Two vaccinated who lacked follow-up titers were excluded from analysis. Stem cells derived an HLA-identical sibling...
Background: Intraoperative data may improve models predicting postoperative events. We evaluated the effect of incorporating intraoperative variables to existing preoperative model on predictive performance for coronary artery bypass graft. Methods: analyzed 378 572 isolated graft cases performed across 1083 centers, using national Society Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database between 2014 and 2016. Outcomes were operative mortality, 5 complications, composite representation all...
To estimate the potential mortality reduction if patients chose safest hospitals for complex cancer surgery.Mortality after oncologic surgery is highly variable across hospitals, and directing away from unsafe could potentially improve survivorship. Hospital quality measures are becoming increasingly accessible at a time when more engaged in choosing providers. It currently unclear what information to share with maximally capitalize on patient-centered realignment.The National Cancer...
Abstract Background The electronic health record (EHR) holds the prospect of providing more complete and timely access to clinical information for biomedical research, quality assessments, improvement compared other data sources, such as administrative claims. In this study, we sought assess completeness timeliness structured diagnoses in EHR computed hypertension (HTN), hyperlipidemia (HLD), diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods We determined amount time a diagnosis be recorded from when an...
