Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is underrecognized, undertreated, and understudied: each of these endeavors requires efficient accurate identification patients with PAD. Currently, PAD patient relies on diagnosis/procedure codes or lists diagnosed treated by specific providers in locations ways. The goal this research was to leverage natural language processing more accurately identify an electronic health record system compared a structured data-based approach.The clinical notes from cohort...
Background We aimed to characterize the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular and limb events (MACE MALE) among patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) undergoing vascular intervention (PVI), as well associated factors in chronic threatening ischemia (CLTI). Methods Results Patients PVI American College Cardiology's (ACC) National Cardiovascular Data Registry's Registry who could be linked Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services data were included. The primary outcomes MACE, MALE,...
Importance Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has increasingly been used for uncomplicated type B dissection (uTBAD) despite limited supporting data. Objective To assess whether initial TEVAR following uTBAD is associated with reduced mortality or morbidity compared medical therapy alone. Design, Setting, and Participants This cohort study included Centers Medicare & Medicaid Services inpatient claims data adults aged 65 years older index admissions acute from January 1,...
Introduction Despite decades of research on risk-communication approaches, questions remain about the optimal methods for conveying risks different outcomes across multiple time points, which can be necessary in applications such as discrete choice experiments (DCEs). We sought to compare effects 3 design factors: 1) separated versus integrated presentations outcomes, 2) use or omission icon arrays, and 3) vertical horizontal orientation dimension. Methods conducted a randomized study among...
Aortic insufficiency (AI) is common in patients with proximal aortic disease, but limited options exist to facilitate valve repair (AVr) this population. This study reports 'real-world' early results of AVr using newly FDA-approved trileaflet and bicuspid geometric annuloplasty rings for AI undergoing (PAR) a single referral centre.All rigid internal ring (n = 47) conjunction PAR (ascending +/- root arch) were included. Thirty-six underwent ring, 11 ring. The implanted the subannular...
Background Peripheral artery disease (PAD) affects 8 to 10 million Americans, who face significantly elevated risks of both mortality and major limb events such as amputation. Unfortunately, PAD is relatively underdiagnosed, undertreated, underresearched, leading wide variations in treatment patterns outcomes. Efforts improve care outcomes have been hampered by persistent difficulties identifying patients with for clinical investigatory purposes. Objective The aim this study develop validate...
Purpose: The role of the plastic surgeon in wound management following complications from prior spinal surgeries is well established. present study evaluates closure primary surgery a large patient population. Methods: Spinal closed by single at academic hospital were reviewed. Descriptive statistics applied and outcomes this sample compared with previously published using 2-sample z tests. Results: Nine hundred twenty-eight reviewed, which 782 included. Seven fifteen operations for...
Machine learning (ML)-driven clinical decision support (CDS) continues to draw wide interest and investment as a means of improving care quality value, despite mixed real-world implementation outcomes.This study aimed explore the factors that influence integration peripheral arterial disease (PAD) identification algorithm implement timely guideline-based care.A total 12 semistructured interviews were conducted with individuals from 3 stakeholder groups during first 4 weeks an ML-driven CDS....
