A Sentiment Analysis of online reviews spine surgeons.Physician review websites have significant impact on a patient's provider selection. Written are subjective, but sentiment analysis through machine learning can quantitatively analyze these reviews. This study analyzes written surgeons and reports biases associated with demographic factors trends in words utilized.Online star-reviews were obtained from healthgrades.com. package was used to the The relationship variables scores analyzed...
Background Tobacco carcinogens have adverse effects on bone health and are associated with inferior outcomes following orthopedic procedures. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact tobacco use has readmission complication rates shoulder arthroplasty. Methods 2016–2018 National Readmissions Database queried identify patients who underwent anatomical, reverse, hemi-shoulder ICD-10 codes Z72.0 × (tobacco disorder) F17.2 (nicotine dependence) were used define “tobacco-users.”...
Background: Physician review websites have influence on a patient’s selection of provider. Written reviews are subjective and difficult to quantitatively analyze. Sentiment analysis writing can assess surgeon provide actionable feedback for surgeons improve practice. The objective this study is analyze large subset written hand using sentiment report unbiased trends in words used describe the reviewed biases associated with demographic factors. Methods: Online star-rating were obtained from...
Retrospective national database study.This study is conducted to assess the trends in charges and usage of computer-assisted navigation cervical thoracolumbar spinal surgery.This first its kind use a nationwide dataset analyze surgery over recent time period terms field as well cost technology.Relevant data from National Readmission Database 2015-2018 were analyzed, procedures identified using International Classification Diseases 9th 10th revision codes. Patient demographics, surgical data,...
Study Design Retrospective database study. Objectives The goal of this study was to assess the influence weekend admission on patients undergoing elective thoracolumbar spinal fusion by investigating hospital readmission outcomes and analyzing differences in demographics, comorbidities, postoperative factors. Methods 2016-2018 Nationwide Readmission Database used identify adult who underwent fusion. sample divided into weekday patients. Demographics, complications, discharge status data were...
A quantitative analysis of written, online reviews Cervical Spine Research Society (CSRS) surgeons.This study quantitatively analyzes the written members CSRS to report biases associated with demographic factors and frequently used words in help aid physician practices.Physician review websites have influence on a patient's selection provider, but are subjective. Sentiment writing through artificial intelligence can quantify surgeon provide actionable feedback.Online star-rating surgeons...
Previous literature has shown decreases in pediatric trauma during the COVID-19 outbreak, but few have analyzed beyond peak of pandemic. This study assesses epidemiology cases a high-volume teaching hospital New York City before, during, and after height
Study Design: Retrospective analysis. Objective: To assess perioperative complication rates and readmission after ACDF in a patient population of advanced age. Summary Background Data: Readmission are important markers surgical quality and, with recent shifts reimbursement schedules, they rapidly gaining weight the determination surgeon hospital reimbursement. Methods: Patients 18 years age older who underwent elective single-level were identified National Readmissions Database (NRD)...
The "weekend effect" occurs when patients cared for during weekends versus weekdays experience worse outcomes. But reasons this effect are unclear, especially amongst undergoing elective cervical spinal fusion (ECSF). Our aim was to analyze whether index weekend admission affects 30- and 90-day readmission rates post-ECSF.All ECSF > 18 years were retrospectively identified from the 2016-2018 Healthcare Cost Utilization Project Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD), using unique patient...
Retrospective cohort study of 2016 Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD).The aim was to evaluate cost outcomes associated with navigation use on posterior cervical fusion (PCF) surgery patients.Computer-assisted systems demonstrate comparable hardware placement procedural speed compared traditional techniques. Innovations in technology continue improve surgeons' performance complicated procedures, causing need analyze the impact patient care.The NRD...
The purpose of this study was to analyze posts shared on social media sites, Twitter and Instagram, referencing scoliosis surgery for tone, content, perspective the posts.Public Instagram from November 2020 April 2021 were isolated using hashtag #ScoliosisSurgery or words "scoliosis surgery." A total 5,022 1,414 collected, which 500 each randomly selected be analyzed by authors variables previously listed.Of posts, 91.8% associated with an image, 47.8% postoperative. 96.9% had either a...
Retrospective National Database Study.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the cost and patient outcomes associated with utilization computer-assisted navigation (CAN) on patients undergoing lumbar spinal fusion.CAN systems have demonstrated comparable instrumentation procedural speed when compared traditional techniques. In recent years, CAN seen increased adoption in surgery as they allow for better contextualization anatomical structures goal improving surgical accuracy...
This was a retrospective case-control study.The objective of this study to evaluate whether prior emergency department admission associated with an increased risk for 90-day readmission following elective cervical spinal fusion.The incidence spine fusion reoperations has increased, necessitating the improvement patient outcomes surgery. Currently, there are no studies assessing impact visits before surgery on aimed fill gap and identify novel factor 2016-2018 Nationwide Readmissions Database...
