The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated changes in processes of care, which significantly impacted surgical care. This study evaluated the impact these on patient outcomes and costs for non-elective major lower extremity amputations (LEA). 2019–2021 Florida Agency Health Care Administration database was queried adult patients who underwent LEA. Per-patient inflation-adjusted were collected. Patient cohorts established based mortality rates: COVID-heavy (CH) included nine months with highest...
Over 48,000 people died by firearm in the United States 2021. Firearm violence has many inciting factors, but full breadth of associations not been characterized. We explored several state-level factors including previously studied or insufficiently studied, to determine their association with state firearm-related death rates.Several open carry (OC) and concealed (CC) laws, rank, partisan lean, urbanization, poverty rate, anger index, proportion college-educated adults, were assessed for...
Unplanned intensive care unit (ICU) admissions are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. This study uses interpretable machine learning to predict unplanned ICU for initial nonoperative trauma patients admitted non-ICU locations.
ObjectiveThe effects of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection and altered processes care on nonelective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) outcomes remain unknown. We hypothesized that patients with COVID-19 would have longer hospital lengths stay greater mortality compared COVID-negative patients, but these not differ between pre-COVID controls.MethodsThe National COVID Cohort Collaborative 2020-2022 was queried for adult undergoing CABG. Patients were divided into...
