In Brief Objective: To investigate the long-term effect of flexible duty-hour policies on resident outcomes Background: The Flexibility in Duty Hour Requirements for Surgical Trainees trial showed no significant difference overall well-being between and standard after 1 year. However, exposure to flexibility could have adverse effects violations, satisfaction, well-being. Methods: 2014, 117 programs were randomized or policy. Residents surveyed annually following American Board Surgery...
Abstract Introduction Fragmentation of care (FC, the receipt at > 1 institution) has been shown to negatively impact cancer outcomes. Given multimodal nature breast treatment, we sought identify factors associated with FC and its effects on survival patients. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed surgically treated, stage I–III patients in 2004–2020 National Cancer Database, excluding neoadjuvant therapy recipients. Patients were stratified into two groups: or non-FC care....

Objectives There is conflicting data comparing minimally invasive vein harvest (MIVH) using endoscopic technique and open (OVH) in terms of bypass patency, wound infection incidence, patient morbidity. Our institution has performed MIVH since 2003 for peripheral procedures with a consistent team specialized harvesters. This study reviewed the major outcomes infrainguinal at our given predominant cohort critical limb ischemia. Methods We 10-year, retrospective, single-institution review from...

A non-occlusive thrombus radiographic target lesion was identified on computed tomography angiography (CTA). multi-disciplinary discussion regarding concern for embolization provided due to its unstable nature, as well recent Given her acute infection, symptomatology, findings, it concluded that the etiology stroke appeared most consistent...
Abstract Background In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Pandemic Breast Cancer Consortium (PBCC) published recommendations for triage of breast cancer patients. The included neoadjuvant treatment early-stage patients experiencing delays in surgery. This study evaluated national patterns according guidelines. Methods Patients treated with surgery (upfront or post-neoadjuvant) 2018–2020 were collected from National Database. proportions PBCC guidelines calculated 2020 and compared similar...

Abstract Background KEYNOTE‐177 demonstrated that immunotherapy was superior to chemotherapy for microsatellite‐instability‐high (MSI‐high) metastatic colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer with peritoneal metastases (CRPM) has a poorer prognosis than other sites, an unclear role of immunotherapy. We evaluated trends in use and overall survival (OS). Methods Patients CRPM MSI testing were identified the National Cancer Database (2016−2020). by year associated patient/hospital factors. OS...
