This Viewpoint explores the limits of methods used in Surgeon Scorecard, uses laparoscopic cholecystectomy data to illustrate inherent statistical challenges Scorecard faces, and suggests improvements for future surgical performance assessments.
To evaluate open bedside tracheostomy (OBT) and compare it with operating room (OR) percutaneous dilatational (PDT) in complications cost. determine the practice patterns of academic otolaryngology programs.Retrospective cohort study cross-sectional study.Public hospital tertiary care hospital.Otolaryngology program directors were surveyed to their institutions' factors preventing implementation tracheostomies. A retrospective chart review was done tracheostomies performed at our...
COVID-19 predominately affects safety net hospitals. Tracheostomies improve outcomes and decrease length of stay for patients. Our objectives are to determine if (1) tracheostomies have similar complication mortality rates as non-COVID-19 (2) the effectiveness our tracheostomy protocol at a hospital.Patients who underwent Los Angeles County Hospital between August 2009 2020 were included. Demographics, SARS-CoV-2 status, body mass index (BMI), Charlson Co-morbidity Index (CCI), intubation,...
