ABSTRACT Background and Methods Colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment can influence health‐related quality of life (HRQOL). This study examined HRQOL among older adults undergoing CRC treatment, the conditional effects race, ethnicity, primary language. We conducted a retrospective cohort Medicare Advantage enrollees ≥ 65 years old who completed Health Outcomes Survey (MHOS) (2016−2020). The exposure group answered “Yes” to current control “No.” outcomes were physical component summary (PCS)...
In evaluating the effectiveness of general surgery (GS) training, an unbiased assessment progression residents with attention to individual learner factors is imperative.To evaluate role trainee sex in milestone achievement over course GS residency using national data from Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).This cross-sectional study evaluated female and male enrolled ACGME-accredited programs US 2014 2018 reported variation milestones performance across years...
A surgical consultation is a critical first step in the care of patients with emergency general surgery conditions. It unknown if Black Medicare and White receive consultations at similar rates when they are admitted from department.To determine whether have compared after being department an condition.This was retrospective cohort study that took place US hospitals used computational generalization inverse propensity score weight to create patient populations covariate distributions....
Objective: Many emergency general surgery (EGS) conditions can be managed operatively or non-operatively, with outcomes that vary by diagnosis. We hypothesized operative management would lead to higher in-hospital costs but cost savings over time. Summary Background Data: Emergency account for $28 billion in healthcare the US annually. Compared scheduled surgery, patients who undergo are at increased risk of complications, readmissions, and death, accompanying care up 50% than elective...
Importance Although objective data are used routinely in prescription drug recommendations, it is unclear how referring physicians apply evidence when making surgeon or hospital recommendations for surgery. Objective To compare the factors associated with referral decision-making process that medication recommendations. Design, Setting, and Participants This qualitative study comprised interviews conducted between April 26 May 18, 2021, of a purposive sample 21 primary care from large...
This qualitative study examines how incentive-based and salary-only compensation models affect academic surgeons.
Abstract Importance Variation in outcomes for emergency general surgery conditions has been shown at the hospital level. Few have examined difference across hospitals older adults who often present with greatest risk. To date, no one differences outcome those undergoing operative and nonoperative treatment. Objective Identify high low performing (EGS) risk-standardization to determine clinical performance as well correlation between patients treated operatively non-operatively. Design A...
Objective: To establish whether Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Milestones predict future performance of general surgery trainees. Summary Background Data: provide bi-annual assessments trainee progress across six competencies. It is unknown the surgeon after transition to independent practice. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study surgeons with complete Milestone in fourth and fifth clinical years who treated patients acute care hospitals within Florida,...
Many emergency general surgery (EGS) conditions can be managed both operatively or nonoperatively; however, it is unknown whether the decision to operate affects Black and White patients differentially.
Background Multimorbidity is associated with an increased risk of poor surgical outcomes among older adults; however, identifying multimorbidity in the clinical setting can be a challenge. Objective We created Multimorbid Patient Identifier App (MMApp) to easily identify patients identified by presence Qualifying Comorbidity Set and tested its feasibility for use future research, validation, eventually guide decision-making. Methods adapted Sets’ claims-based definition through modified...
