Objective: We sought to characterize the association between patient county-level vulnerability with postoperative outcomes. Summary Background Data: Although impact of demographic-, clinical- and hospital-level factors on outcomes following surgery have been examined, little is known about effect a patient's community residence surgical Methods: Individuals who underwent colon resection, coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), lung or lower extremity joint replacement (LEJR) were identified in...
Abstract Background Although the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging system has been largely adopted in clinical practice, recent studies have emphasized need for further refinement and subclassification of this system. Methods Patients who underwent hepatectomy with curative intent BCLC-0, -A or -B hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) between 2000 2017 were identified using a multi-institutional database. The tumour burden score (TBS) was calculated, overall survival (OS) examined...
Background Current clinical classifications of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) have been largely defined based upon preconceived notions factors thought to be important, such as polyp or eosinophil status. Unfortunately, these classification systems little correlation with symptom severity treatment outcomes. Unsupervised clustering can used identify phenotypic subgroups CRS patients, describe differences in clusters and define simple algorithms for classification. Methods A...
Olfactory loss is a frequent symptom of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), but our understanding how inflammatory cytokines affect olfaction limited.To examine whether are present in the olfactory cleft and they correlate objective olfaction.In this cross-sectional study, CRS underwent quantitative testing using Sniffin Sticks test to calculate composite threshold discrimination identification (TDI) score from October 21, 2013, November 12, 2015. Nasal mucus was collected sponge...
The objective of the current study was to define impact albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade on short- as well long-term outcomes among patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC).Patients who underwent hepatectomy for ICC between 1990 and 2016 were identified using an international multi-institutional database. Clinicopathologic factors including ALBI score assessed bivariate multivariable analyses, standard survival analyses.Among 706 patients, 453 (64.2%) had 1, 231 (32.7%) 2, 22 (3.1%)...
Objective: The aim of this study was to define the prevalence preexisting mental illness, as well characterize impact a illness diagnosis on postoperative outcomes. Summary Background Data: Preoperative surgical evaluation and risk stratification have traditionally centered optimizing physical health. influence health outcomes has not been investigated. Methods: Medicare beneficiaries who underwent elective colectomy, coronary artery bypass grafting, abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, total...
This study assesses the association and interaction of county-level social vulnerability index with patient-level race/ethnicity compared probability undergoing resection/transplant for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma.
Background Olfactory loss affects a majority of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Traditional objective measures disease severity, including endoscopy scales, focus upon the paranasal sinuses and often have weak correlation to olfaction. Methods Adults CRS were prospectively evaluated by blinded reviewers novel Cleft Endoscopy Scale (OCES) that discharge, polyps, edema, crusting, scarring olfactory cleft. Objective function was assessed using “Sniffin’ Sticks” testing, composite...
Temporal encephaloceles are increasingly visualized during neuroimaging assessment of individuals with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy, and their identification could indicate an intracranial abnormality that may be related to a potential seizure focus. Careful review by experienced neuroradiologist yield improved detection TEs, other clinical, neurophysiologic, radiologic findings predict presence.Data were reviewed retrospectively in patients at our institution who presented...
Early detection of chronic kidney disease (CKD) can lead to interventions prevent renal failure and reduce risk for cardiovascular disease, yet adherence treatment goals is suboptimal in the primary care setting. The purpose this study was assess whether clinical decision support (CDS) be used improve identification management CKD.This 2 year demonstration conducted 11 PPRNet practices. CDS included a assessment tool, health maintenance protocols, flow chart patient registry. Practices...
Introduction: The prognostic role of tumor burden score (TBS) relative to pre-operative α -fetoprotein (AFP) levels among patients undergoing curative-intent resection HCC has not been examined. Methods: Patients who underwent between 2000 and 2017 were identified from a multi-institutional database. impact TBS on overall survival (OS) cumulative recurrence serum AFP was assessed. Results: Among 898 patients, 233 (25.9%) had low TBS, 572 (63.7%) medium 93 (10.4%) high TBS. Both (5-year OS;...
Abstract Introduction While the impact of demographic factors on postoperative outcomes has been examined, little is known about intersection between social vulnerability and residential diversity following cancer surgery. Methods Individuals who underwent a lung or colon resection for were identified in 2016–2017 Medicare database. Data merged with Centers Disease Control Prevention index was calculated. Logistic regression models utilized to estimate probability outcomes. Results Among 55...
Abstract Background Heart failure is a leading cause of death in the USA, contributing to high expenditures near end life. Evidence remains lacking on whether billed advance care planning changes patterns end-of-life healthcare utilization among patients with heart failure. Large-scale claims evaluation assessing and hospitalizations can fill evidence gaps inform health policy clinical practice. Objective Assess association between delivered Medicare beneficiaries upon type quantity last 30...
