Presentation during nights and weekends has been associated with variations in care poor outcomes for many time-sensitive conditions such as trauma, stroke, cardiac arrest. We sought to determine whether variation clinical exists patients treated by the emergency general surgery service at our trauma center. performed a retrospective cohort study Level 1 center (2017-2022) of who transferred from other facilities or presented directly department. The primary exposure variable was...
BACKGROUND Leak following surgical repair of traumatic duodenal injuries results in prolonged hospitalization and oftentimes nil per os treatment. Parenteral nutrition (PN) has known morbidity; however, leak patients often have complex hospital courses resulting barriers to enteral (EN). We hypothesized that EN alone would be associated with (1) shorter duration until closure (2) less infectious complications length stay compared PN. METHODS This was a post hoc analysis retrospective,...
Introduction The utility of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for high-grade traumatic injuries remains unclear and data surrounding its use are limited. We hypothesized that PD does not result in improved outcomes when compared with non-PD surgical management grade IV–V pancreaticoduodenal injuries. Methods This is a retrospective, multicenter analysis from 35 level 1 trauma centers January 2010 to December 2020. Included patients were ≥15 years age the American Association Surgery Trauma...
BACKGROUND Duodenal leak is a feared complication of repair, and innovative complex repairs with adjunctive measures (CRAM) were developed to decrease both occurrence severity when leaks occur. Data on the association CRAM duodenal are sparse, its impact outcomes nonexistent. We hypothesized that primary repair alone (PRA) would be associated decreased rates; however, improved recovery do METHODS A retrospective, multicenter analysis from 35 Level 1 trauma centers included patients older...
Objective. Rheumatic diseases cause significant morbidity within American Indian populations. Clinical disease presentations, as well historically associated autoantibodies, are not always useful in making a rapid diagnosis or assessing prognosis. The purpose of our study was to identify autoantibody associations among Oklahoma tribal populations with rheumatic disease. Methods. members (110 patients and 110 controls) were enrolled at tribal-based clinics. Patients (suspected confirmed...
Many Native American (NA) patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) do not exhibit the classical SLE autoantibody profiles of European (EA) and African (AA) SLE. The poorer disease outcomes noted in NA highlights a need for more equitable diagnostic prognostic tools objective was to identify informative NA, AA, EA using an expanded set autoantigens.Sera from 49 age-, sex-, antinuclear titer-matched who met College Rheumatology classification criteria 10 ethnicity-, age-matched...
SUMMARY Objectives To assess a multimodal physician‐to‐physician communication initiative that is low in cost and impact to daily workflow reduce blood product wastage. Background Blood stewardship an important issue all hospital systems. Previous studies have proposed low‐cost interventions wastage, but few evaluated improvements between the bank providers. We undertook prospective quality improvement project focusing on improving Methods conducted over first quarter of 2017, identifying...
Candida lusitaniae was originally described as a human pathogen in 1979 and typically affects immunocompromised patients.We describe case of prosthetic valve endocarditis with an immunocompetent 62-year-old woman following aortic replacement. In vitro testing demonstrated that our isolate sensitive to amphotericin B, caspofungin fluconazole.The infection lethal despite aggressive medical surgical management sterilization blood cultures. The outcome illustrates the need recognize fungemia...
Background Hemorrhaging trauma patients may be disproportionately affected by choice of induction agent during rapid sequence intubation (RSI). Etomidate, ketamine, and propofol are safe in the population-at-large but have not been assessed with ongoing hemorrhage. We hypothesize that hemorrhaging penetrating injury, deleteriously affects peri-induction hypotension compared to etomidate ketamine. Methods Retrospective cohort study. Primary outcome was effect on systolic blood pressure....
Background/Objective: It’s estimated that roughly 13 million older adults will suffer from dementia in the United States by 2050 and over 30% of ≥65 years own a firearm. There is lack information on attitudes adult firearm owners Midwest regarding management firearms dementia. The study’s aim was to survey geriatric trauma patients about ownership, storage, planning for cognitive decline. Methods: Patients were approached study participation if they admitted service at an urban academic...
