"ChatGPT versus the neurosurgical written boards: a comparative analysis of artificial intelligence/machine learning performance on board–style questions" published 24 Mar 2023 by American Association Neurological Surgeons.
Unplanned preventable hospital readmissions within 30 days are a great burden to patients and the healthcare system. With an estimated $41.3 billion spent yearly, reducing such readmission rates is of utmost importance. widespread adoption big data machine learning, clinicians can use these analytical tools understand complex relationships find predictive factors that be generalized future patients. The object this study was assess efficacy learning algorithm in prediction 30-day after...
Introduction: Exercise-related injuries (ERIs) are a common cause of nonfatal emergency department and hospital visits. CrossFit is high-intensity workout regimen whose popularity has grown rapidly. However, ERIs due to remained under investigated. Methods: All patients who presented the main at major academic center complaining an injury sustained performing between June 2010 2016 were identified. Injuries classified by anatomical location (eg, knee, spine). For with spinal injuries, data...
OBJECTIVE Chordoma is a rare malignant tumor for which en bloc resection with wide margins advocated as primary treatment. Unfortunately, due to anatomical constraints, achieve or marginal not feasible many patients the resulting morbidity would be prohibitive. The objective of this study was evaluate efficacy intralesional curettage and separation surgery followed by spinal stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in chordomas mobile spine. METHODS authors performed retrospective chart...
INTRODUCTION: Determining the value of a neurosurgeon is complex and, as healthcare reimbursement transitions towards value-based/bundled payments, such determinations have become increasingly difficult and confusing. METHODS: A neurosurgical model for hospitals was created using Medicare methods to estimate financial contribution single hospital system. Furthermore, 5,380 organizations 990 IRS tax filings were examined comparative trends in profits revenue on hospital-wide basis. RESULTS:...
INTRODUCTION: The rapid ascent of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced machine learning has revolutionized certain aspects healthcare. Document dictation remains a significant clinical burden, contributing to burnout detracting from quality patient care. Generative AI systems utilizing transformer-based technology offer efficient speech processing methods, adaptation which could streamline the work documentation. METHODS: Ten previously written operative reports both cranial spinal...
OBJECTIVE Venous thromboembolic events (VTEs), including both deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism, are a major cause of morbidity mortality after spine surgery. Prophylactic anticoagulation, or chemoprophylaxis, can prevent VTE. However, the timing VTEs surgery effect chemoprophylaxis on VTE remain underinvestigated. METHODS The records 6869 consecutive surgeries were retrospectively examined. Data patient demographics, surgical variables, hospital course, collected. Patients...
Case-control.The aim of this study was to understand the role high-resolution magnetic resonance (MR) in identifying regional cord volume loss cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM).Preliminary studies suggest that compression ventral region may contribute disproportionately CSM symptomology; however, tract-specific data are lacking population. The current is first use 3T MR imaging (MRI) images patients determine specific at level detail individual descending white matter tracts.Twelve with...
Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy (CSM) is a common spinal condition that presents as hyperreflexia, loss of dexterity, and strength. Despite its prevalence, little known about the specific neuromechanical deficits constitute overall disability in CSM. Compression on MRI doesn’t exclusively relate to disability. Moreover, clinical assessment often relies subjective exams self-reported questionnaires. Therefore, purpose this study was assess proprioception, strength, association with scales....
Dermatomal maps are a mainstay of clinical practice and provide information on the spatial distribution cutaneous innervation spinal nerves. deficits can help isolate level nerve root involvement in conditions guide clinicians diagnosis treatment. maps, however, have limitations, cord sensory activity humans remains to be quantitatively assessed. Here we used functional MRI map compare during tactile stimulation left right lateral shoulders (i.e. C5 dermatome) dorsal third digits hands...
Patient satisfaction ratings are increasingly used for hospital rankings, referral base and physician reimbursement. As such, online rating websites (PRWs) quickly becoming a topic of interest. To analyze the distribution neurosurgeons' on 3 most widely PRWs, examine factors associated with positive negative ratings. We key term search to identify board-certified neurosurgeons PRWs: RateMD.com, Healthgrades.com, Vitals.com. Data were collected average number Demographic, training-related...
