Abstract Background Internationally, 20% to 50% of cancer is diagnosed through emergency presentation, which associated with lower survival, poor patient experience, and socioeconomic disparities, but population-based evidence about diagnosis in the United States limited. We estimated department (ED) involvement a nationally representative population older US adults, its association sociodemographic, clinical, tumor characteristics. Methods analyzed Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results...
Objective: Providing high-quality, safe, and consistent care for patients with cancer in the emergency department (ED) poses unique challenges. To better understand these challenges, we surveyed oncologists medicine (EM) physicians across five institutions to identify key areas improvement oncologic EM. Methods: In this multi-institutional, cross-sectional qualitative study, a semi-structured survey was administered EM attending resident medical surgical 2023. We assessed open-ended...
Abstract Objective The core content of emergency medicine (EM) residency training includes the management oncologic emergencies; however, documented knowledge gaps continue to exist in this subtopic. This study represents a targeted needs assessment as indicated by Step 2 Kern's curriculum design determine specific be addressed within EM curriculum. Methods A multi‐institutional cross‐sectional survey oncologists (surgical and medical) physicians (attendings residents) was conducted during...
A suspected diagnosis of cancer in the emergency department (ED) may be associated with poor outcomes, related to health disparities, however data are limited. This is a retrospective observational cohort Indiana State Department Health Cancer Registry, and Network for Patient Care. First time diagnoses appearing registry between January 2013 December 2017 were included. Cases identified as patients who had an ED visit 6 months before their diagnosis; controls no preceding visits. The...
Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) conjugation (i.e., PEGylation) is a commonly used strategy to increase the circulatory half-life of therapeutic proteins and colloids; however, few viable alternatives exist replicate its functions. Herein, we report method for rapid site-selective glycosylation with variously sized carbohydrates, up molecular weight (MW) 10,000, thus serving as potential alternative PEGylation. More importantly, developed has two unique features. First, traditional protecting...
Introduction: A suspected diagnosis of cancer through an emergency department (ED) visit is associated with poor clinical outcomes. The purpose this study was to explore the rate at which ED patients attend screenings for lung, colorectal (CRC), and breast cancers based on national guidelines set forth by United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). Methods: This a prospective cohort study. Patients were randomly approached in Eskenazi Hospital between August 2019–February 2020...
Due to an increasing incidence of new cancer diagnoses in the United States and longer survivorship, a growing number patients with receive care emergency departments (EDs). This trend places burden on already crowded EDs, experts are concerned these do not optimal care. The purpose this study was describe experiences ED physicians nurses who for cancer. information can inform strategies improve oncology settings.We used qualitative descriptive design summarize (n = 23) caring We conducted...
The diagnosis of cancer through an emergency presentation undiagnosed malignancy constitutes around 20–50% first-time diagnoses. There is a paucity evidence on the presentations with only few epidemiological studies large administrative databases. Limited data has shown patients diagnosed after suffer poorer clinical outcomes as compared to those elective routes. Further emergently are commonly among vulnerable populations, such based socioeconomic status and racial/ethnic groups. Lung most...
There is a need to characterize patients with HIV suspected severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).Multicenter registry of from 116 emergency departments in 27 US states.Planned secondary analysis SARS-CoV-2, (n = 415) and without 25,306) HIV. Descriptive statistics were used compare patient information clinical characteristics by SARS-CoV-2 status. Unadjusted multivariable models explore factors associated death, intubation, hospital length stay. Kaplan-Meier curves...
