INTRODUCTION Hypertension (HTN) is a prevalent condition in the United States and leads to an increased risk of developing various comorbidities. However, impact new-onset hypertension following severe burns on patient outcomes not known. We posit that onset after burn associated with comorbidities mortality. METHODS Using TriNetX database, burned patients diagnosed essential injury were compared those who did develop hypertension; neither had prior hypertension. Each cohort was grouped by...
Studies conflict on the significance of burn-induced coagulopathy. We posit that coagulopathy is associated with injury severity in burns. Our purpose was to characterize profiles burns and determine relationships between % total burn surface area (TBSA) burned using International Normalized Ratio (INR). Burned patients INR values were identified TriNetX database analyzed by %TBSA burned. Patients history transfusions, chronic hepatic failure, those anticoagulant medications excluded....
Our objective was to evaluate antiretroviral therapy (ART) prescription rates over time among US Medicare enrolees with HIV and describe disparities in ART associated factors.
This study investigates the effects of COVID-19 pandemic on medical education, research opportunities, and mental health in orthopaedic surgical training programs.A survey was sent to 177 Electronic Residency Application Service-participating surgery programs. The contained 26 questions covering demographics, examinations, research, academic activities, work settings, health, educational communication. Participants were asked assess their difficulty performing activities relative...
Abstract Introduction In lieu of outdated and limited patient studies on excision for severe burns, a more comprehensive analysis is indicated to determine the effects early skin following burn. This study aims address outcomes excision. Methods Data collection was performed using TriNetX, national research database. The population included patients ranging from 0 90 years old who underwent burns. Groups were stratified by number days after injury in which they received treatment. Five...
Abstract Introduction Racial minorities have been recognized to experience worse health outcomes for many medical conditions. However, it is not clear if these are associated with pre-existing conditions or the quality of care those patients receive. In burns, little information on relationship between race and burn comorbidities available. This study examines risk association complications, such as pneumonia, sepsis, ARDS while controlling common that affect recovery diabetes hypertension....
Category: Ankle; Diabetes; Midfoot/Forefoot Introduction/Purpose: Osteomyelitis is an invasive infection of the bone that commonly afflicts patients with diabetes mellitus. This bacterial can lead to need for amputation portions foot or ankle. While association between and has been studied, little known about additional underlying health conditions predispose diabetic increased risk amputation. Understanding these relationships will be useful in early screening prevent severe effects...
Abstract Introduction Despite advancements in burn care, the optimal treatment to prevent or treat hypertrophic scars is still elusive. Therefore, objective of this study compare efficacy five glucocorticoid medications commonly used scarring burned patients using a large patient database. Methods Patients diagnosed with scarring, disorders skin, scar conditions and fibrosis skin at least one day after injury were identified TriNetX Hydrocortisone, methylprednisolone, dexamethasone,...
Abstract Introduction Prior studies explored neuropsychological disorders in the context of burn severity; however, relationship between occurrence after and sleep has not been investigated. This study aims to determine if patients that developed a first-time disorder injury are more likely develop psychological or nervous system within 10 years injury. Methods We identified on TriNetX database, federated research network de-identified patient data. formed two groups, those with first time...
Abstract Introduction The risk of coagulopathy is increased in severe burns. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly prescribed burn patients to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. This study investigates the impact NSAIDs on induced severely burned patients. Methods Severe (total body surface area [TBSA] >20%) were identified with TriNetX, a North American federated health research network from 51 health-care organizations (HCOs) categorized for those receiving...
Abstract Introduction Burn injuries place patients in a compromised state, especially those with pre-existing comorbidities. The presence of cancer complicates care and worsens outcomes for suffering from illnesses unrelated to burns, such as sepsis. Therefore, we posit the incidence burn injury on preexisting diagnoses results an increased risk complications. Methods Burned were identified using TriNetX database, global federated health research network. Fifty-one thousand diagnosis prior...
Abstract Introduction The pathophysiological response to major trauma has gender dimorphism in outcomes associated with sex hormones levels. However, little is known of the effects female on burn patients. Previous studies demonstrated exogenous estrogen alleviates hyper-inflammation after burn. We thus posit that patients have fewer comorbidities depending hormone had two objectives: investigate role and potential protective properties treatment burned post-menopausal women. Methods This...
Abstract Introduction Bacterial infections are a leading cause of complications in burn patients. However, ambiguity remains around the most common infectious etiologies and their resulting complications. Our study identifies which bacterial will lead to specific tracks infection rates these bacteria over time. Methods Burn patients diagnosed with within 6 months were identified TriNetX database using ICD-10 codes; those prior injury excluded. Occurrence following outcomes 12 compared for...
Abstract Introduction Hypertension (HTN) is a prevalent condition in the United States and leads to an increased risk of developing other comorbidities. However, impact hypertension following severe burns on patient outcomes not known. We hypothesize that post-burn associated with comorbidities mortality. Methods This study used data from TriNetX, global federated health research network. Burned patients who were diagnosed essential at least 1 day after injury identified TriNetX database...
Category: Ankle; Hindfoot; Midfoot/Forefoot Introduction/Purpose: Antibiotic resistance has quickly become one of the most pressing current public health challenges. Many studies have analyzed general prescription trends, but little information exists about how antibiotic therapy is utilized in orthopedic practice- particularly patients with Osteomyelitis Ankle and Foot. Thus, a retrospective analysis was performed using EMR data to understand temporal tends use, as well impact...
