Abstract Background/Objectives To identify major barriers to video‐based telehealth use among homebound older adults. Design Cross‐sectional survey. Setting A large home‐based primary care (HBPC) program in New York City (NYC) serving 873 patients living the community. Participants Sixteen physicians. Measurements An 11‐item assessment of provider perceptions patients' experience with and telehealth. Results According physicians HBPC program, more than one‐third (35%) (mean age 82.7; 46.6%...
Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly used to diagnose prostate cancer (PCa). It not yet established whether all men with negative MRI (Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System version 2 score <3) should undergo biopsy or not.To develop validate a prediction model that uses clinical parameters reduce unnecessary biopsies by predicting PCa clinically significant (csPCa) for findings who are at risk of harboring PCa.This was retrospective analysis 200 underwent...
Introduction: Surgical experience is associated with superior outcomes in complex urologic cases, such as prostatectomy, nephrectomy, and cystectomy. The question remains whether predictive of for less procedures, ureteroscopy (URS). Our study examined how case volume endourology-fellowship training impacts URS outcomes. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed cases from 2017 to 2019 by high urologists (HV), low (LV), trained (FT), non-endourology FT (NFT) urologists. including stone-free rate...
2 Background: We conducted a randomised trial comparing 18 Flourocholine-PET/CT (FCH) to Computed Tomography (abdomen and pelvis) plus 99m Tc-Whole Body Bone Scan (Conventional Imaging [CIm]) determine imaging performance in prostate cancer (PC). Methods: This prospective two-arm 1:1 enrolled men with newly diagnosed or biochemically recurrent PC first-line (FLI) either CIm FCH. Participants without evidence of metastases proceeded second-line (SLI) using the alternative strategy. The...
Efforts are ongoing to try and find ways reduce the number of unnecessary prostate biopsies without missing clinically significant cancers (csPCa). The utility multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) in detecting cancer (PCa) shows promise be used as triage test for systematic biopsy. Our aim is Study clinical parameters oncological outcomes men with negative mpMRI (nMRI; PI-RADS v2 scores ≤ 2) who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) evaluate nMRI's practicality...
Background & Purpose Specialist care of acute ischemic stroke patients has been associated with improved outcomes but is not well-characterized. We sought to elucidate the involvement and influence neurologists on care. Methods Using 100% Medicare datasets, index admissions from 2016-2018 were identified International Classification Diseases, 10th Revision codes. Neurologists by NPI code. Neurologist in was defined as: “neurologist involved care”; “hospital a neurologist”; “percent...
Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a dramatic shift to video-based telehealth use home-based primary care. We conducted an online 11-item survey exploring provider perceptions of patients’ experience with and barriers large HBPC program New York City. More than one-third (35%) patients (mean age 82.7; 46.6% dementia; mean 4 comorbidities/patient) engaged first-time encounters between April June 2020. majority (82%) required assistance from family member and/or paid caregiver. Among...
