<title>Abstract</title> Purpose Patients experiencing homelessness are disproportionately affected by cirrhosis due to socioeconomic barriers, housing insecurity, and healthcare access challenges. However, the impact of on clinical outcomes utilization among hospitalized patients has not been well-characterized. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study using National Inpatient Sample (2016–2021) analyze hospitalizations adults with cirrhosis, comparing between those without homelessness....
Abstract Background Prior assessments of critical care outcomes in patients with cirrhosis have shown conflicting results. We aimed to provide nationwide generalizable results decompensated cirrhosis. Methods This is a retrospective study using the National Inpatient Sample from 2016 2019. Adults who required respiratory intubation, central venous catheter placement or both (n = 12,945) principal diagnoses including: esophageal variceal hemorrhage (EVH, 24%), hepatic encephalopathy (58%),...
Exposure to asthma exacerbating triggers may be dependent on the season and an individual's social factors subsequent means avoid triggers. We assessed for seasonal variations differential outcomes based race income in admissions a United States nationwide assessment.
Objective: Investigate the impacts of palliative care consults, race, and socioeconomic status on prevalence invasive procedures in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Background: Palliative care, can all influence end-of-life preferences, but their roles HCC have not been adequately explored. Materials Methods: This is a cross-sectional study from 2016 to 2019 using National Inpatient Sample. Terminal nonterminal hospitalizations were assessed logistical regression evaluating...
To investigate the outcomes of COVID-19-related hospitalizations among patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs) in United States 2020. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality, and secondary included intubation rate, length hospital stay (LOS), total charges (THCs).Data for study were obtained from National Inpatient Sample database who hospitalized a principal diagnosis COVID-19. Univariable multivariable logistic regression analyses conducted to calculate odds ratios...
Patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) do not respond to B (HBV) vaccination as efficiently the general population. We assessed if revaccination after HCV treatment resulted in improved response.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) related to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a growing health concern in Latin America. This region has mixed population with diverse heritage that rarely accounted for when looking at epidemiological studies. We aimed assess the differences epidemiology and outcomes of HCC Americans based on self-reported ancestry. retrospectively evaluated data from ESCALON network, which prospectively follows patients South Self- reported ancestry was categorized...
Traumatic pancreaticobiliary injuries are challenging to diagnose and manage. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has potential diagnostic therapeutic utility in cases of traumatic injuries.
Background The impact of chronic HCV infection on outcomes in patients with COVID-19 remains unclear as studies have showed mixed results. We aimed to determine if impacted hospitalizations. Methods retrospectively assessed hospitalizations for the year 2020 using National Inpatient Sample database. ICD-10 codes were used establish a primary diagnosis and history infection. Outcomes compared between those without logistical regression analysis, controlled age, sex, Charlson Comorbidity...
Introduction: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) related to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a growing health concern worldwide and particularly in areas of high NAFLD endemicity such as Latin America. This region has mixed population with diverse heritage that rarely accounted for when looking at epidemiological studies. We assessed the differences epidemiology outcomes HCC Americans based on self-reported ancestry. Methods: retrospectively evaluated data from ESCALON network, which...
Clerkship grades are a component of determining residency candidate's competitiveness. In 2017, the University Minnesota Medical School's pediatric clerkship transitioned its standardized multiple-choice exam, Aquifer Pediatrics Examination, to pass/fail with eligibility for honors being determined by clinical performance, not exam performance. We assessed effect this change had on performance and evaluated correlation between evaluation scores in order gather insight into validity each type...
Introduction: HCV infection is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Statins remain underutilized in this population despite increasing evidence that they are safe to use chronic, stable liver disease. Recently, Chew et al examined the of Pooled Cohort Equation HCV-infected veterans and found it overestimated individuals with calculated < 7.5%, but underestimated those ≥ 7.5%. We aimed assess statin utilization as a function ASCVD score further understand implications...
