Objective: To evaluate the potential pathway, through which race and socioeconomic status, as measured by social deprivation index (SDI), affect outcomes after lower extremity bypass chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), a marker for delayed presentation. Background: Racial disparities persist in bypass; however, limited studies have evaluated role of disease severity mediator to potentially explain these using clinical registry data. Methods: We captured patients who underwent statewide...
Within a matter of 48 hours, the promotion article entitled "Prevalence unprofessional social media content among young vascular surgeons," aptly demonstrated power and dangers unconscious bias as it spread across Twitter with #MedBikini tag. In response, surgeons from around world have come together in call to action address highlight misogynistic, racist, oppressive issues facing today. We, female surgery trainees, would like make our own action. The publication this (now appropriately...
People with learning disabilities, autism or both (PWLDA) are severely impacted by health inequalities. Health professionals report a lack of confidence and competence when communicating PWLDA, often leading to over-prescribing medicines poor-quality care. This article describes collaboration between university the Adventurers, group co-produce communication training as part prescribing programme. Over 800 prescribers reported improved skills PWLDA. The project increased group's...
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDoP) negatively impact maternal health and outcomes. Renal angioplasty for stenosis due to fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) has been reported improve hypertension associated with HDoP, but guidelines do not include renal artery duplex ultrasound (RA-DUS) screening. We report initial results from a single-center cohort patients HDoP positive managed selective failure medical management RA-DUS screening rates among women during 2-year period. was selectively...
Objective: To determine the rate of emergency versus elective lower extremity amputations in United States Background: Lower amputation is a common endpoint for patients with poorly controlled diabetes and multilevel peripheral vascular disease. While procedure ideally performed electively, limited access may present later require an operation. what extent rates vary across unknown. Methods: Evaluation Medicare beneficiaries who underwent between 2015-2020. The was determined each zip code...
Introduction: Frailty is associated with increased risk of adverse health events among cardiovascular patients. Phenotype-based approaches to frailty assessment typically rely upon sex and body mass index as co-variables. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that race, ethnicity, disadvantaged community (DCI), insurance coverage are frailty. To test this hypothesis, we prospectively measured grip strength in a cohort patients evaluated the relationships disparity measures. Methods: Patients treated...
Introduction: Patients with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDoP) have increased prevalence renal artery stenosis due to fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) that is usually diagnosed years post-partum. Because FMD a treatable cause hypertension, earlier diagnosis has potential decrease maternal risk and improve outcomes. We sought characterize utilization duplex screening among women HDoP associations Hypothesis: hypothesize for will be low. Methods: Women treated at single academic medical...
Introduction: Religion is an important aspect of personal identity, which linked to education and wealth. changing in prevalence, notoriously difficult obtain from surveys, seldom accounted for clinical research. We characterized religious affiliation among patients with common diagnoses treated by vascular surgeons explored associations patient-level factors health risk behaviors. Hypothesis: hypothesize behaviors will be more that are unaffiliated a particular religion. Methods: Patients...
