Socioeconomic status (SES) is defined as an individual's social or economic standing, and a measure of family's position rank in group. It composite several measures including income, education, occupation, location residence housing. Studies have found lower SES has been linked to disproportionate access health care many diseases. There emerging data pulmonary diseases such COPD, asthma, cystic fibrosis, hypertension other chronic respiratory conditions that allude similar observation noted...
A low socioeconomic status (SES) has been linked to disproportionate access health care in many diseases, leading worse disease severity at initial presentation. There is a paucity of these data the pulmonary hypertension (PHTN) population. We studied association SES, as measured by zip code–based median annual household income, with World Health Organization functional class (WHO‐FC) time first evaluation PHTN patients. All patients evaluated our center right heart catheterization revealing...
Natural language processing (NLP) is the study of systems that allow machines to understand, interpret, and generate human language. With advent large models (LLMs), non-technical industries can also harness power NLP. This includes healthcare, specifically surgical care plastic surgery. manuscript an introductory review for surgeons understand current state future potential NLP in patient consultations. The integration into surgery consultations transform both documentation communication....
Background: Hyaluronic acid (HA) facial fillers are a non-surgical treatment for age-related changes. Literature on long-term volumetric results and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) is limited. This prospective study aims to precisely define measure objective tissue metrics PROs of HA in different regions over 12 weeks. Methods: Females aged 40 65 received injections using fillers: Restylane-L ® nasolabial folds marionette lines, Lyft the malars, Restylane Silk lip border. Patients completed...
Introduction: Implant-based breast reconstruction is the most common reconstructive approach following mastectomy. Prepectoral implants offer advantages over submuscular implants, such as less animation deformity, pain, weakness, and post-radiation capsular contracture. However, clinical outcomes prepectoral are debated. We performed a matched cohort analysis of at large academic medical center. Methods: Patients treated with implant-based mastectomy from January 2018 – October 2021 were...
To investigate key morphometric features identifiable on routine preoperative computed tomography (CT) imaging indicative of incisional hernia (IH) formation following abdominal surgery.IH is a pervasive surgical disease that impacts all disciplines operating in the abdominopelvic region and affecting 13% patients undergoing surgery. Despite significant costs disability associated with IH, there an incomplete understanding pathophysiology hernia.A cohort (n=21,501) underwent colorectal...
Optimal reduction mammoplasty techniques to treat patients with gigantomastia have been debated and can involve extended pedicles (EP) or free nipple grafts (FNG).The authors compared clinical, patient-reported, aesthetic outcomes associated employing EP vs FNG.A multi-institutional, retrospective study of adult who underwent at 2 tertiary care centers from 2017 2020 was performed. Gigantomastia defined as weight >1500 g per breast sternal notch-to-nipple distance ≥40 cm. Surgeons 1...
Prosthetic reinforcement of critically sized incisional hernias is necessary to decrease hernia recurrence, but long-term prosthetic-mesh footprint may increase complication risk during subsequent abdominal operations.To investigate the association prior repair with mesh (IHRWM) postoperative outcomes and health care utilization after common operations.This was a population-based, retrospective cohort study patients undergoing inpatient surgical procedures period January 2009 December 2016,...
Introduction Decubitus ulcers are a morbid and costly problem faced by healthcare systems patients across the country. We aim to examine current patterns characteristics of admitted hospital with pressure ulcer. Materials methods From nationally representative sample discharge records, Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS), diagnosis ulcer 2008-2019 were identified. Patient volume, demographic clinical data analyzed for change over time. Results The volume as proportion all remained constant...
Purpose Hernia recurrence is a primary metric in evaluating the success of ventral hernia repair (VHR). Current screening methods for recurrence, including validated Ventral Screening (VHS) questionnaire, have not yet been critically evaluated. The purpose this study was to evaluate predictive value VHS recurrence. Methods This retrospective cohort adult patients who underwent VHR utilizing poly-4-hydroxybutyrate mesh at single-institution from January 2016 December 2021 completed least one...
Patients with advanced cancer staging have a greater risk of developing venous thromboembolism than noncancer patients. The impact breast stage and treatment on outcomes after autologous free-flap reconstruction (ABR) is not well-established. objective this retrospective study to determine the characteristics, such as stage, hormone receptor status, neoadjuvant treatments, vascular complications ABR.A review was conducted examining patients who underwent ABR from 2009 2018. Breast types,...
