The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has been documented in a large share of nursing homes throughout the United States, leading to high rates mortality for residents. To understand how prevent and mitigate future outbreaks, it is imperative that we which are more likely experience COVID-19 cases. Our aim was examine characteristics with cases 30 states reporting individual facilities affected.We constructed database verified as May 11, 2020, via correspondence publicly available reports...
Palliative care (PC) benefits patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), but it remains underutilized. Although transplant physicians report concerns regarding how perceive PC, HSCT recipients' perceptions about PC remain unaddressed. We conducted a multisite, cross-sectional survey of autologous and allogeneic recipients 3 to 12 months after assess their familiarity, knowledge, perception as well unmet needs. computed composite score patients' used generalized...
The incidence of gastric cancer, while declining in many places worldwide, is characterized by considerable geographical variability. USA has large racial, ethnic and regional variation; we collected data from all 50 states to better characterize recent changes cancer nationwide. Annual rates 1999 2013 were extracted the United States Cancer Statistics (USCS) registry. Secular trends examined overall sociodemographic factors states. We used Joinpoint regression compute annual percent change...
<h3>Importance</h3> Federal data underestimate the impact of COVID-19 on US nursing homes because federal reporting guidelines did not require facilities to report case and death until week ending May 24, 2020. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess magnitude unreported cases deaths in National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) provide national estimates adjusted for nonreporting. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This is a cross-sectional study comparing reported by NHSN with those state...
Social media has solidified its role as a key forum for medical education. Twitter is one of the most widely used online platforms and increasingly recognized relevant venue education academic scholarship.1,2 Yet, producing high-quality content in single 280-character tweet remains challenge.The tweetorial (a portmanteau combining tutorial) emerged method to overcome Twitter's character limit individual tweets while taking advantage tools it provides (eg, addition graphics, hyperlinks,...
Caring for a child with cancer or hematologic disease places unique stress on family unit. Families' subjective experience of this care-related burden mediates the relationship between cost and health-related outcomes. While financial costs are well described families pediatric hematology/oncology patients, it is unclear how other factors each contribute to families' overall burden. This study identifies groups challenges that report describes their association reported burden.This...
Phenomenon: Physician shortages in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) have led to increased interest using e-learning tools for training. Organic digital education (ODE)—digital scholarship largely created outside of formal medical curricula—has popularity over the past decade. Medical podcasting has become one most prominent asynchronous ODE sources learners high-income (HI) countries; there been no previous attempts characterize their use LMIC. Approach: Listener data from a 2-year...
Patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) often experience intensive medical care at the end of life (EOL), including high rates hospitalizations and unit (ICU) admissions. Despite this, studies examining code status transitions are lacking. We conducted a mixed-methods study 200 patients AML enrolled in supportive Massachusetts General Hospital between 2014 2021. defined as relapsed/refractory or diagnosis age ≥60. used consensus-driven record review to characterize transitions....

This poster represents the experience of a clinician-in-training with diagnostic screening method typically called "review systems." Although at times executing this can feel onerous, it is intended to reveal key symptoms, promote inquiry, and enhance communication. It also sometimes generates unexpected important insights, that conveyed here combination text images.
