Abstract: Adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes are at risk for poor health outcomes, including glycemic control, acute chronic complications, emergency department admissions. During this developmental period, adolescent adult patients also experience significant changes in living situation, education, and/or care delivery, transferring from pediatric to care. In recent years, professional advocacy organizations have proposed expert guidelines improve the process of preparation...
In an effort to refine a model of clinical care identifying effective communication with health providers (HCPs) as key skill for successful transition adult medical care, this study explored the perspectives emerging adults type 1 diabetes (T1D) about factors that impact quality and content their HCPs.Twenty T1D were interviewed experiences pediatric HCP readiness care. Interviews recorded transcribed; three raters coded transcripts using conventional analysis broad themes.Five themes...
OBJECTIVE: To implement a quality-improvement intervention aimed at reducing unnecessary opioid prescriptions for patients who are undergoing gynecologic surgery. METHODS: This was retrospective cohort study that included data from the pre– and post–quality-improvement initiative cohorts. Patients an urban, tertiary academic medical center were scheduled minimally invasive surgery open abdominal by oncologist included. underwent preoperative counseling, standardization of perioperative...
Physicians are not routinely offering patients HIV testing, partly due to perceived patient discomfort with discussing HIV. This study assessed patients’ comfort level and whether physician recommendations can overcome any that does exist. In a publicly funded primary care clinic, we administered survey exploring facilitators 266 answering the 2 main questions of interest. Most participants wanted their offer testing (n = 175; 65.8%). Even among who did want 91), over half 54; 59.3%)...
Aim To ensure that children are vaccinated, different national governments use diverse strategies. We compared childhood vaccination coverage rates between New York State (NYS) and Zealand (NZ) as the strategies different. Methods used records from NYS Immunisation Information System National Register of NZ to measure (i) by school entry age six; (ii) socio‐demographic groups; (iii) trend in 2011 2015. Results analysed 583 767 269 800 7 years age. were 3.3–21.5% more likely than receive each...
e13682 Background: We sought to evaluate the feasibility of obtaining genetic testing (GT) for first- or second-degree (1°, 2°) family members a proband known have actionable germline mutation associated with endometrial and/or ovarian cancer through coordinated referral system. Here we characterize initial probands and discuss time frame their enrollment in facilitated cascade (CT). Methods: Patients pathogenic mutations gynecologic cancers were determined from genetics oncology clinics....
1585 Background: While the management of BRCA1/2 is clear, non-BRCA mutations with increased risk or uncertain ovarian cancer (OC) not well established. Previously, we reported that referral to a gynecologic oncologist (GO) resulted in 30-fold uptake reducing surgery (RRS). We aimed identify trends genetic testing (GT) and GO patients (pts) such mutations. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study at 3 satellite sites within 1 institution from 2014 2018, pts were identified by ICD-10 codes...
Background: Lynch syndrome accounts for 3% of newly diagnosed endometrial cancers and colon cancers. Identifying patients with is fundamental to enable proper screening prevention at-risk malignancies, along encouraging cascade testing family members. We aimed assess medical students' knowledge syndrome-associated measures decrease malignancy risk in syndrome. Methods: An anonymous, voluntary, multiple-choice survey was emailed 14 schools throughout the US evaluate students’ Results:...
