Background Lung cancer is the second-most common and leading cause of cancer-related deaths. American adults aged 55 to 80 years are at heightened risk for lung cancer; only 4.5% underwent screening history by computed tomography. The hypothesis that cancers diagnosed on were an earlier stage which broadens treatment options improves survival. Methods electronic health record (EHR) was retrospectively queried identify patients with from 2017 2020. Kaplan-Maier curves used compare survival...
Abstract Background Research suggests that food choices, preferences, and tastes change after bariatric surgery, but evidence regarding changes in cravings is mixed. Objectives The primary aim of this cohort study was to compare during the first year following surgery patients who had undergone sleeve gastrectomy (SG) versus Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Setting Integrated multispecialty health system, United States. Methods Patients aged ≥ 18 years seen between May 2017 July 2019,...
The fluoroquinolone restriction for the prevention of Clostridioides difficile infection (FIRST) trial is a multisite clinical study in which sites carry out preauthorization process via electronic health record-based best-practice alert (BPA) to optimize use antibiotics acute care settings. Our research team worked closely with implementation coordinators facilitate dissemination and this evidence-based intervention. Clinical within antibiotic stewardship (AST) played pivotal role process;...
Witnessing death can be difficult and emotionally draining for health care workers presents a risk factor burnout. The practice of ritual pause at patient to recognize the as person, reflect, acknowledge team is an emerging intervention that has not been well studied in trauma.This study aims explore effect on trauma member attitudes after emergency department death.This pre- postintervention implementation Trauma PAUSE (Promoting Acknowledgment, Unity, Sympathy End Life) conducted from...
836 Aims: PTLD associated with EBV infection has been shown to be very high circulating viral load at presentation. The natural history of during treatment and non-PTLD 10 is not well documented. Methods: in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) was determined by a quantitative competitive PCR 19 pediatric thoracic recipients driven or other infection. All patients had reduction immunosuppression 17 received anti-viral therapy. Viral expressed as number copies genome/105 PBMC;...
e18718 Background: COVID-19-related physical distancing restrictions impacted the delivery of close-contact healthcare care in initial months pandemic. To ascertain effect these changes on breast cancer (BC) at Gundersen Health System (GHS), we compared stage diagnosis (dx), interval between dx and initiation treatment (tx), modality first tx offered to pts (pts) diagnosed with BC before, during, after pandemic-related restrictions. Methods: We performed a retrospective review electronic...
Background: The FIRST Trial is a 5-year study funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Our investigation situated within more extensive to restrict fluoroquinolone antibiotics requiring providers obtain authorization from an infectious disease physician before prescribing fluoroquinolones. research team performing systematic evaluation identify organizational characteristics influencers of preprescription implementation process understand variables that may facilitate or...
Introduction: Acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) is a challenging diagnosis in patients with sepsis. Ultrasonographic findings of the gallbladder are usually non-specific for AAC. This study aimed to evaluate usefulness ultrasonography guide and management AAC Methods: Following Institutional Review Board approval waiver informed consent, we retrospectively reviewed electronic health records all admitted Gundersen Health System primary sepsis from January 1, 2010, through December 31,...
148 Background and Aims: The indirect pathway of allorecognition is characterized by recipient alloreactive T cells recognizing donor peptide antigen presented MHC Class II molecules on APC's. Evidence accruing that chronic rejection (CR) may be mediated primarily the allorecognition. We compared response in heart (low risk for early CR) lung (high allografts during quiescence (i.e. no evidence acute or rejection). Methods: Limiting dilution analysis (LDA) was performed to quantify frequency...
e18857 Background: Adolescent Young Adults (AYAs) are likely to live for decades after a cancer diagnosis and thus have the potential accumulate high healthcare costs. Prior research has shown costs can be associated with increased risk of morbidity mortality. However, there is limited understanding how impact AYAs, especially in community hospital. The purpose this study 1) understand total hospital AYA patients cancer, 2) identify factors costs, 3) assess on survival. Methods: (ages 15-29)...
