Aims This study used an artificial neural network (ANN) model to determine the most important pre- and perioperative variables predict same-day discharge in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods Data for this were collected from National Surgery Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database year 2018. Patients who received a primary, elective, unilateral TKA with diagnosis of primary osteoarthritis included. Demographic, preoperative, intraoperative analyzed. The ANN was...
Study Designs Retrospective Database Analysis. Objectives Pre-operative glycemic control in diabetic patients undergoing lumbar fusion (LF) is essential for evaluating complication risk. However, current thresholds preoperative HbA1c and same-day-glucose (SDG) are either non-specific or have low predictive power. This study uses SDG to provide data-driven risk stratification 90-day major wound complications LF patients. Methods Using a national database, from 2013-2022 with recorded level...
Study Design Retrospective Cohort Study. Objective Isthmic spondylolisthesis is frequently encountered in spine surgical practice, though there a significant variation management strategies. We sought to evaluate revision rates between patients who underwent anterior-approach lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) alone, posterolateral (PLF) PLIF/TLIF, and ALIF+PSF. Methods This retrospective study utilized large commercial insurance claims database of ≤65 years-old. Patients with isthmic...
Introduction
Background This retrospective review aimed to specify whether the 5-item modified frailty index (mFI-5) is a valid measure for surgeons when assessing likelihood of complications in patients undergoing total elbow arthroplasty (TEA). Methods TEA 50 years or older were identified from NSQIP database 2006 2019. Patients stratified based on age create 50+, 65+, and an 80-89-year-old cohort. Thirty-day outcomes assessed this study included mortality, unplanned readmission, return operating room,...
The use of social media assists in the distribution COVID-19 information to general public and health professionals. Alternative-level metrics (ie, altmetrics) PlumX are new bibliometrics that can assess how many times a scientific article has been shared much spread within platforms.Our objective was characterize compare traditional citation count impact factors) Altmetric Attention Score [AAS] score) top 100 articles with highest AASs.The AASs were identified Explorer May 2020. AASs,...
The term "Tweener" is colloquially used to refer early-onset scoliosis (EOS) patients whose age and development make them candidates for multiple surgical options. purpose of this study was establish expert consensus on a definition formally characterize the Tweener population.A 3-round survey surgeons in an international EOS group conducted. Surgeons were provided with various patient characteristics asked if each part their patients. Responses analyzed (≥70%), near-consensus (60% 69%), no...

Developmental dysplasia of the hip in pediatric patients can be managed conservatively or operatively. Understanding patient risk factors is important to optimize outcomes following surgical treatment developmental hip. Racial disparities procedural have been studied, however, there scarce literature on an association between race and complications orthopaedic surgery. Our study aimed determine patients' operative management by investigating 30-day postoperative length hospital stay.The...
Revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an increasingly common procedure and effective in treating osteoarthritis, but it has higher complication rates than primary TKA. Anesthetic choice poses perioperative risk that been extensively studied TKA, showing favorable results for regional anesthesia compared with general anesthesia. The impact of anesthetic revision TKAs not well studied. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality...
Video recording and video recognition (VR) with computer vision have become widely used in many aspects of modern life. Hospitals employed VR technology for security purposes, however, despite the growing number studies showing feasibility software physiologic monitoring or detection patient movement, its use intensive care unit (ICU) real-time is sparse perception this novel unknown. The objective study to understand attitudes providers, patients, patient's families toward using ICU.A...
Malnutrition continues to be pervasive among the general population, with rates as high 50% of patients undergoing surgical procedures. Data is limited about women surgery for non-malignant gynecologic indications (generally elective laparoscopic hysterectomies, after failed conservative measures). With significant increase in benign surgery, it upmost importance that surgeons optimize modifiable risk factors hysterectomy. The purpose this study identify impact malnutrition on postoperative...
