Abstract Background Research has shown that the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic stretch beyond solely physical health. This study uses newly developed Epidemic-Pandemic Impacts Inventory (EPII), a 92-item tool designed to quantify impact across several personal and social domains. People living with HIV (PLWH) have an increased morbidity mortality associated infection are overall more vulnerable change. The current EPII compare pandemic-related experiences PLWH those without in New Orleans....
To understand cardiovascular health in low socioeconomic populations, we analyzed the data from 426 community-dwelling males and females 287 homeless Philadelphia. Despite higher prevalence of smoking hypertension, proportion participants at increased risk for coronary heart disease was comparable with that participants. Among various characteristics, emotional stress significantly associated only, suggestive a differential psychosocial effect stress. Our findings suggest populations are...
In Brief Objective: To examine whether the volume-mortality relationship in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) differs by race and operative risk. Summary Background Data: In-hospital mortality after CABG is inversely associated with hospital volume. Racial disparities exist outcomes of CABG, possibly due to blacks' high Methods: We analyzed 71,949 procedures performed between 2002 2005 at 93 academic medical centers participating University HealthSystem Consortium. was examined across...
Until the last few years patient with diabetes often failed to receive assistance of otolaryngologist, because fear results operative interference. On other hand, many optional procedures formerly undertaken resulted in diabetic coma, probably lack control disease prior and following operation. During there have been distinct advances management diabetes, particularly through introduction insulin; light this newer knowledge it seems important determine present status who has a lesion ear,...
Initiatives to improve the quality and efficiency of care in academic medical centers (AMCs, teaching hospitals) can benefit performance departments as well hospital. However, value improvement programs an AMC is often challenging. At Jefferson Medical College, clinical bed availability are important priorities Department Medicine. To this end, a multidisciplinary program was designed (1) consistency by adapting adopting national guidelines for patients with heart failure acute coronary...
Abstract Background Pneumonia is the most common infectious cause of morbidity and excess mortality complicating hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) treatment hematologic malignancy. Standard bronchoscopic noninvasive microbiologic testing identify causative pathogens in less than half cases. The Karius Test, a plasma next-generation sequencing assay microbial cell-free DNA, may improve diagnostic yield these patients. Methods Patients with active malignancy or recent HCT undergoing...
Short peripheral catheters (SPC) are an existing conduit into many patients’ veins and line draws from SPC a desired method of routine blood collection especially in difficult venous access patients. The PIVO device facilitates through is being used clinically number hospitals. This study aimed to determine the appropriate wait time following flush minimum waste volume required obtain undiluted sample when using how that differed current guidelines draws. A clinical was conducted examining...
Abstract Introduction Anticoagulation therapies are essential component of disease management for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs), such as apixaban, rivaroxaban, and dabigatran have shown greater benefit in reducing stroke/systemic embolism (SE) bleeding risk compared to warfarin. However, few studies assessed whether the beneficial effects DOACs consistent across gender race. Purpose To assess association between apixaban use stroke/SE major...
