The Western Trauma Association (WTA) describes the management of Zone 2 penetrating neck trauma (PNT) and recommends exploration (NE) for patients with clinical hard signs (HS). We hypothesize that in stable HS, PNT augmented by computed tomography angiography (CTA) results fewer negative NE results.This was a 4-year retrospective review adult at Level I center. Stable WTA-defined HS (airway compromise, massive subcutaneous emphysema/air bubbling through wound, expanding/pulsatile hematoma,...
The COVID-19 virus is a formidable global threat, impacting all aspects of society and exacerbating the existing inequities our current social systems.1 2 As we battle across multiple fronts, data are critical for understanding this disease coordinating an effective response. Given digitisation so many life, amassing that can be extrapolated analysed forecasting, prevention treatment COVID-19. With responsible stewardship, tools data-driven solutions currently in development pandemic will...
Rates of obesity are rising in patients with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. We conducted a US population-based study to determine the effects on outcomes hospitalised IBD.We searched Nationwide Readmissions Database 2016-2017 identify all adult for IBD, using ICD-10 codes. compared obese (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 30) vs non-obese [BMI < 30] IBD evaluate independent readmission, mortality, and other hospital outcomes. Multivariate regression propensity matching were performed.We identified...
Goal: The goal of this study was to evaluate the inpatient mortality risk among geriatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Background: challenges caring for elderly IBD will increase aging US population. Given complications hospitalization, we set examine if age older than 65 were at higher mortality. Materials and Methods: All ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn’s (CD) in National Inpatient Sample (NIS) from 2016 2017 as primary diagnosis secondary an IBD-related cause admission...
The goal of this study was to compare outcomes and trends for inpatients with Crohn's disease (CD) obesity.Obesity is a growing concern in the United States. Current data on effect obesity course CD are conflicted.Data from 2016 2017 National Inpatient Sample were compared obese, normal weight, malnourished patients. After adjustment comorbidities, demographics type/inpatient surgery, including mortality, length stay, hospitalization charges, rates deep venous thrombosis (DVT) obese patients...

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a significant increase in patients requiring prolonged hospitalization with mechanical ventilation.1 Many have become ventilator-dependent long-term enteral feeding percutaneous gastrostomy tube (G-tube). Obtaining durable access timely and safe manner is important for essential nutritional support facilitates discharge when are medically ready, creating more available inpatient beds – scarce resource times of surge capacity.
INTRODUCTION: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affects an estimated 3.1 million US adults and is increasing in prevalence. Recent data found lower mortality rates for common conditions Medicare beneficiaries admitted to academic vs non-teaching hospitals. This study compares outcomes patients with IBD non-academic METHODS: The national inpatient sample (NIS) from 2016 was queried all cases of Crohn’s (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) where this the principle cause admission (first ICD-10...
INTRODUCTION: Diverticular hemorrhage is the most common cause of lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Determining source bleeding difficult and therapeutic intervention rates are variable. Many centers perform angiography for patients with more severe since it does not require bowel preparation can be rapidly performed; however has never been directly compared to colonoscopy may available. Using national inpatient sample, we outcomes diverticular undergoing colonoscopy. METHODS: This sample...
INTRODUCTION: Lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) is a common condition requiring GI consultation and management. Current ACG guideline recommends colonoscopy within 24 hours of LGIB. However, while the most intervention, it may not be readily available at all hospitals on weekend when many endoscopy units are closed. Previous work has found that in non-variceal upper hemorrhage, patients admitted weekends had lower total rates high hospitalization charges. We explored these outcomes...
