<h3>Importance</h3> Lower extremity revascularization often seeks to allow patients with peripheral arterial disease maintain the ability walk, a key aspect of functional independence. Surgical outcomes in high levels dependence are poorly understood. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine status trajectories, changes ambulatory status, and survival after lower nursing home residents. <h3>Design</h3> Using full Medicare claims data for 2005 2009, we identified residents who underwent...
Infection with the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has been associated a hypercoagulable state. Emerging data from China and Europe have consistently shown an increased incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE). We aimed to identify VTE early predictors at our high-volume tertiary care center.We performed retrospective cohort study 147 patients who had admitted Temple University Hospital disease 2019 (COVID-19) April 1, 2020 27, 2020. first identified (pulmonary...
ObjectiveA significant number of patients undergoing abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair have a prior diagnosis cancer. Further information on outcomes following AAA in with recent intra-abdominal malignancy could help guide decision making.MethodsWe used the 2005-2016 Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER)-Medicare database to examine diagnosis. Patients who had undergone within 2 years cancer were included study stratified by stage. We Kaplan-Meir curves survival models...
Medial arterial calcification (MAC) of the tibial and pedal arteries has been associated with an increased risk amputation among people diabetes. Endovascular interventions on infrageniculate vessels are frequently performed intent treating peripheral artery disease (PAD) decreasing in those This study aimed to investigate how extent MAC impacts outcomes endovascular procedures diabetic foot ulcers (DFU).We identified all patients who had undergone angioplasty setting DFU at our institution...
Abstract Introduction The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) currently requires graduating chief residents to have participated in 75 complex laparoscopic cases. However, they do not define subcategories. We aim compare trends the use of minimally invasive approaches common general surgery procedures nationally and training determine if subcategories are necessary mirror national practice patterns. Methods analyzed ACGME case log data from 2015 2021 proportion being...
A workforce crisis exists in global surgery. One solution is task-shifting, the delegation of surgical tasks to non-physician clinicians or associate (ACs). Although several studies have shown that ACs similar postoperative outcomes compared with physicians, little known about their training. This study aimed characterize training and experience medical officers (MOs) Tanzania. All care providers Pwani Region, Tanzania, were surveyed. Participants reported demographic data, years training,...
Background: We evaluated adverse short-term outcomes after open lower-extremity bypass surgery in patients with diabetes mellitus a comparison performed based on patient height. Methods: The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was analyzed to select Current Procedural Terminology codes 35533, 35540, 35556, 35558, 35565, 35566, 35570, and 35571 the diagnosis mellitus.
