OBJECTIVE Frailty’s role in preoperative risk assessment spine surgery has increased association with the increasing size of aging population. However, previous frailty tools have significant limitations. The aim this study was to compare predictive ability Risk Analysis Index (RAI) 5-factor modified index (mFI-5) for postoperative morbidity and mortality. METHODS Data were collected from American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database adults > 18 years...
The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of baseline frailty status (as measured by modified index-5 [mFI-5]) versus age on postoperative outcomes patients undergoing surgery for spinal tumors using data from a large national registry.The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was used collect tumor resection patients' 2015 2019 (n = 4,662). Univariate and multivariate analyses mFI-5 were performed following outcomes: 30-day mortality, major complications, unplanned...
To assess the discriminative ability of Risk Analysis Index-administrative (RAI-A) and its recalibrated version (RAI-Rev), compared to 5-factor modified frailty index (mFI-5), in predicting postoperative outcomes patients undergoing surgical intervention for traumatic spine injuries (TSIs).The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) International Classification Disease-9 (ICD-9) ICD-10 codes were used identify ≥ 18 years who underwent TSI from National Surgical Quality Improvement Program...
Objective: To evaluate the prognostic utility of baseline frailty, measured by Risk Analysis Index (RAI), for prediction postoperative mortality among patients with spinal malignancy (SM) undergoing resection.Methods: SM surgery cases were queried from American College Surgeons – National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database (2011–2020). The relationship between preoperative RAI frailty score and increasing rate primary endpoint (mortality or discharge to hospice within 30 days,...
Abstract Purpose Structural obstacles in healthcare related to social, economic, and political factors contribute inequities patient care. Combined didactic experiential learning may be more effective teach medical students how address implicit bias microaggression the clinical setting. Methods Rising third year at New York Medical College participated a student-led training program, including through standardized (SP) encounters self-reflection via debrief sessions. The SP simulated...
Abstract Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate the discriminative accuracy preoperative Risk Analysis Index (RAI) frailty score for prediction mortality or transition hospice within 30 days brain tumor resection (BTR) in a large multicenter, international, prospective database. Methods Records BTR patients were extracted from American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (2012–2020) relationship between RAI scale and primary end point (mortality...
To compare the predictive abilities of two frailty indices on post-operative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing pituitary adenoma resection. The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database was used to retrospectively collect data for resection between 2015-2019. most common indices, 5-point modified index (mFI-5) risk analysis (RAI), receiver operating curve (ROC) area under (AUC)/Cstatistic were used. In our cohort 1,454 patients, RAI demonstrated superior...
Background: Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) is commonly utilized in degenerative pathologies. Standalone ALIF (ST-ALIF) systems were developed to avoid added morbidity, surgical time, and cost of anterior posterior (APF). Controversy exists the literature about which these two techniques yields superior clinical radiographic outcomes, few studies have directly compared them. This study seeks compare ST-ALIF APF terms sagittal correction complications.
Background: Malnutrition is a worldwide problem. Despite the paradoxical global prevalence of both an obese and underfed population, physicians have historically fallen short in their efforts to combat this epidemic. Unfortunately, medical education has only recently prioritized nutrition curriculum, its incorporation been slow. The Culinary Medicine Interest Group (CMIG) at New York Medical College (NYMC) aims expand access school. Methods: CMIG podcast was conceived as adjunct preclinical...
Background: The risk analysis index (RAI) is a robust frailty developed and validated for both clinical prospective application with patient-centered questionnaire large database analysis. objective of the present study was to evaluate predictive capacity RAI score 30-day mortality (including transition hospice) following resection intracranial tumors (ITR) in multi-center, cohort 31,776 patients.
PURPOSE: Health inequities result from structural obstacles related to social, economic, and political factors. To address these, anti-racism anti-bias training in all levels of medical education are necessary. This study aims evaluate the comfort students broaching difficult conversations microaggressions, assess how that differs a professional setting those power versus personal setting. METHODS: Third-year NYMC received optional implicit bias through 12-minute lecture, followed by two...
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the discriminative prognostic utility of Risk Analysis Index-Administrative (RAI-A) as compared to modified frailty index-5 (mFI-5) and patient age for postoperative outcomes brain tumor resection (BTR) patients. Methods Patients with BTR were queried from National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSIQP) years 2015 2019. Multivariable logistic regression was performed association between tools complications discharge outcomes. Results We identified 30,951...
