To examine differences in resident operative experience between male and female general surgery residents.
Abstract Purpose of Review Difference-in-differences analyses are a useful tool for estimating group-level decisions, such as policy changes, training programs, or other non-randomized interventions, on outcomes which occur within the intervention group. However, there is little practical advice how to apply difference-in-differences epidemiologic and health data. Here, we provide tutorial applying method services data, targeted at epidemiologists biomedical researchers. Recent Findings As...
Objective: To determine the relationship between race/ethnicity and case volume among graduating surgical residents. Background: Racial/ethnic minority individuals face barriers to entry advancement in surgery; however, no large-scale investigations of operative experience racial/ethnic residents have been performed. Methods: A multi-institutional retrospective analysis Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education logs categorical general surgery at 20 programs US Resident OPerative...
Patient safety interventions, like the World Health Organization Surgical Safety Checklist, require effective implementation strategies to achieve meaningful results. Institutions with underperforming checklists evidence-based guidance for reimplementing these practices maximize their impact on patient safety.
BACKGROUND Fatality rates following penetrating traumatic brain injury (pTBI) are extremely high and survivors often left with significant disability. Infection pTBI is associated worse morbidity. The modern of central nervous system infections (INF) in civilian unknown. This study sought to determine the rate risk factors for INF impact antibiotic prophylaxis. METHODS Seventeen institutions submitted adult patients survival more than 72 hours from 2006 2016. Patients were stratified by...
Abstract Background The first attempt to implement a new tool or practice does not always lead the desired outcome. Re-implementation, which we define as systematic process of reintroducing an intervention in same environment, often with some degree modification, offers another chance at implementation opportunity address failures, modify, and ultimately achieve outcomes. This article proposes definition taxonomy for re-implementation informed by case examples literature. Main body We...
Introduction The WHO Surgical Safety Checklist (SSC) is a communication tool that improves teamwork and patient outcomes. SSC effectiveness dependent on implementation fidelity. Administrative audits fail to capture most aspects of fidelity (ie, team engagement). Existing research tools assess behaviours during checklist performance, but were not designed for routine quality assurance improvement. We aimed create simple fidelity, test its reliability using video simulations, usability in...

The attempts distill from faculty observations review final team reports student presentations set lessons learned applicable improving education preparing be successful in projects. addressed an need improve control excess water watershed encompassing national...
Objectives: The proposed study aims to assess users’ perceptions of a surgical safety checklist (SSC) reimplementation toolkit and its impact on SSC attitudes operating room (OR) culture, meaningful use, measures safety, OR efficiency at 3 different hospital sites. Background: High-Performance Checklist (toolkit) assists teams in modifying implementing or reimplementing the World Health Organization’s SSC. Through explore, prepare, implement, sustain implementation framework, provides...
Abstract Background As surgical systems are forced to adapt and respond new challenges, so should the patient safety tools within those systems. We sought determine how WHO SSC might best be adapted during COVID‐19 pandemic. Methods 18 Panelists from five continents multiple clinical specialties participated in a three‐round modified Delphi technique identify potential recommendations, assess agreement with proposed recommendations address items not meeting consensus. Results From an initial...
We present a first principles study of the electronic and magnetic properties epitaxial interfaces between Heusler compounds, ${\mathrm{Ti}}_{2}\mathrm{MnIn}$ ${\mathrm{Ni}}_{2}\mathrm{MnIn}$, III-V semiconductors, InSb InAs, respectively. use density functional theory (DFT) with machine-learned Hubbard $U$ correction determined by Bayesian optimization. evaluate these for prospective applications in Majorana-based quantum computing spintronics. In both interfaces, states from penetrate into...
