PurposeTo assess the performance of Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) when answering self-assessment exam questions in hand surgery and to compare correct results for text-only those that included images.MethodsThis study used 10 exams from 2004 2013 provided by American Society Surgery Hand (ASSH). ChatGPT's on image-based was compared. The primary outcomes were total score, score questions, questions. secondary proportion which ChatGPT additional explanations, length...
To investigate adjuvant therapy indications, utilization, and associated survival disparities in major salivary gland cancer (MSGC).
Abstract Objective To compare surgical and nonsurgical definitive treatment in cT4b major salivary gland cancer (MSGC). Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting The 2004 to 2019 National Cancer Database. Methods NCDB was queried for patients with MSGC (N = 976). Patients undergoing (1) resection + adjuvant therapy, (2) radiotherapy (RT) alone, or (3) chemoradiotherapy (CRT) were included Kaplan‐Meier Cox survival analyses. Results Of 219 treatment, 148 (67.6%) underwent therapy 71...
In the past few years, there has been remarkable progress in accessibility of open-source artificial intelligence (AI) image generators, developed to help humans understand how AI sees our world. Here, we characterize perception racial and sex diversity ophthalmology by AI.OpenAI's DALL E-2 was used for generation ophthalmologists with queries that all included "American" "portrait photo". Factors contained categories following: "Positive Characteristic", "Negative "Finances", "Region",...
Abstract Objectives While it is known that surgical costs continue to rise in the United States, there little information about specific underlying factors for this variation many common procedures. This study investigates influence of geographic location and hospital demographics on cost postoperative outcomes adult patients undergoing total thyroidectomy (TT). Methods The National Inpatient Sample was queried who underwent primary TT between 2016 2017. Multivariable analyses were conducted...
Rapid growth of prescription medication spending has contributed to Medicare accounting for 32% total national health on retail medications as 2021 [1, 2]. Out-of-pocket (OOP) costs and monthly premiums beneficiaries remain high due restrictions Medicare's negotiation power [3]. In response, direct-to-consumer (DTC) approaches have evolved increase price transparency reduce intermediaries. By analyzing savings through DTC methods, expansion match lower prices utilization alternatives...
To investigate the survival benefit of elective neck dissection (END) over observation in cT1-4 N0M0 head and verrucous carcinoma (HNVC).Retrospective cohort study.The 2006 to 2017 National Cancer Database.Patients with surgically resected HNVC were selected. Linear, binary logistic, Kaplan-Meier, Cox proportional hazards regression models utilized.Of 1015 patients satisfying inclusion criteria, 223 (22.0%) underwent END. The majority male (55.4%) white (91.0%) disease oral cavity (67.6%)...
Abstract Objective To investigate the survival benefit of elective neck dissection (END) over observation in surgically resected cT1‐4 N0M0 head and basaloid carcinoma (HNBC). Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting The 2006 to 2017 hospital‐based National Cancer Database. Methods Patients with HNBC were selected. Linear, binary logistic, Kaplan‐Meier, Cox proportional hazards regression models implemented. Results Of 857 patients satisfying inclusion criteria, majority male (77.0%)...
To characterize the epidemiology of consumer product-related ocular injury in United States (US) incarcerated population, and identify preventable causes. The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database was queried for cases eye from 2014 to 2023. Incarcerated were identified using keywords "prison", "jail", "inmate", "incarcerate". Year injury, diagnosis, product code, demographic information gathered compared between general US populations SPSS version 29 (IBM Corp.). A...
In recent decades, many physicians have chosen to opt out of Medicare, allowing them set their own pricing models for patients. Characterization Medicare opt-outs has not been thoroughly studied in any surgical specialty, including Neurosurgery. Our study characterizes the factors that may influence a neurosurgeon's decision acceptance and contextualizes both within field across various specialties. Retrospective cross-sectional analysis using Centers Medicaid Services (CMS) data on starting...
Our study analyzes potential savings and losses for Medicare Part D using Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company (MCCPDC) as an alternative medication procurement method the 75 most commonly prescribed medications by otolaryngologists in 2022. Monthly standard MCCPDC costs imputed monthly each prescription were compared. results indicated heterogenous efficiency of sourcing through due to some cost but other substantial losses. 45.3% top otolaryngologic sorted total spending not available on...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is often trained on images without ocular co-morbidities, limiting its generalizability. This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of a convolutional neural network (CNN) applied color fundus photos (CFPs) with simulated cataracts (SCs) in detecting diabetic retinopathy (DR).
Background Gap years following medical school graduation have become more common, but research into their tangible career benefit is lacking. Examining the impact of gap on resident scholarly productivity in ophthalmology may provide insight generalizable to all specialties. Objective To evaluate whether a year significantly predicts during residency. Methods In December 2021, residents were recorded from 110 publicly available American residency program webpages. They included if...
