Traumatic brain injury (TBI)-the "silent epidemic"-contributes to worldwide death and disability more than any other traumatic insult. Yet, TBI incidence distribution across regions socioeconomic divides remain unknown. In an effort promote advocacy, understanding, targeted intervention, the authors sought quantify case burden of World Health Organization (WHO) Bank (WB) income groups.
The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) currently recommends initiating breast cancer screening at 50 years of age in patients average risk. 1 However, we hypothesize that these guidelines may not be sensitive to racial differences and inappropriately extrapolating data from largely white populations for use racially diverse populations.This process could result underscreening nonwhite female patients.These concerns are similar broader discussions regarding sex bias the clinical...
Improving patient education materials may improve outcomes. This study aims to explore the possibility of generating with assistance a large language model, Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT). In addition, we compare accuracy and readability ChatGPT-generated versus expert-generated materials.Patient in implant-based breast reconstruction were generated by experts ChatGPT independently. Readability are main was compared using Flesch-Kincaid score. Accuracy evaluated 2...
Objective Many caregivers of children with cleft lip and palate experience a high level anxiety throughout their child's medical surgical care. We aim to evaluate artificial intelligence (AI) as tool mitigate these feelings can aid clinicians in the development robust pediatric educational materials for families. Design Thirteen most common postoperative questions following and/or repair were developed by an expert panel senior Pediatric Plastic Surgeons posed ChatGPT. Professional answers...
Background: Access to surgical equipment is critical providing safe and equitable operative care. This the first nationwide study provide data on availability of in Kenya. Methods: cross-sectional collected from May July 2018 non-pharmaceutical equipment, patient care, intra-operative, anesthesia supplies level 4 hospitals. Information regarding infrastructure such as number functional operating rooms, sterilization capacity, sources water electricity was also collected. Results: The...
Background. Getting listed for liver transplantation is a complex process. Institutional health literacy may influence the ability of patients with limited educational attainment (EA) to list. As an easily accessible indicator institutional literacy, we measured understandability transplant center education websites and assessed whether there was any association percentage low EA on their waitlists. Methods. Patients waitlist 2007–2016 were identified in Scientific Registry Transplant...
Different types of abdominoplasties have been developed to address individual patient characteristics. However, an analysis complication rates and risk factors for different has yet be reported.
Discharging older individuals to rehabilitation facilities is associated with adverse outcomes, including readmission or increased mortality rate. As preoperative functional status an important factor impacting patient outcome, we hypothesized that this would be disposition nonhome locations.A retrospective analysis was performed using data from the 2013-2018 American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program, targeted variables Geriatric Pilot Project. Patients aged...
The location of tissue expanders in implant-based breast reconstruction remains controversial due to variation surgical techniques and devices.The aim this study was provide a comprehensive assessment early late complication rates between prepectoral subpectoral placement expanders.A retrospective cohort conducted all adult female patients who had undergone 2-stage 2013 2019 our institution. Early defined as complications that occurred within 30 days after surgery. Time-to-event analyses...
Delisting for being "too sick" to be transplanted is subjective. Previous work has demonstrated that the mortality of patients delisted unexpectedly low. Transplant centers use their best clinical judgment determining sick," but it unclear how social determinants influence decisions delist sick." We hypothesized and Donor Service Area (DSA) characteristics may associated with determination transplant.Data were obtained from Scientific Registry Recipients adults listed removed liver...
Abstract The risk of adverse outcomes for pediatric renal transplant patients is highest during the transition from to adult care. While there have been many studies focus on graft failure and death, loss follow‐up likely plays a large role in patient outcomes. We hypothesize are lost this period that transplanted at centers with closely affiliated center (AFFs) less suffer fragmentation care become follow‐up. AFFs were defined as those whose surgeons also staff an identified using websites....
In the US, approximately 40 000 people die due to firearm-related injuries annually. However, nonfatal are less precisely tracked.To assess annual incidence of hospitalization for in New York and compare by sex, race/ethnicity, county residence, calendar years.This retrospective cross-sectional study used data from Statewide Planning Research Cooperative System patients aged 15 years or older who presented an emergency department with January 1, 2005, December 31, 2016. Data were analyzed...
