Objective: To determine the representation of Black/AA women surgeons in academic medicine among U.S. medical school faculty and to assess number NIH grants awarded surgeon-scientists over past 2 decades. Summary Background Data: Despite increasing ethnic/racial sex diversity schools residencies, have historically been underrepresented surgery. Methods: A retrospective review Association American Medical Colleges 2017 Faculty Roster was performed from (1998–2017) obtained. Data included...
<h3>Importance</h3> Diversity in academic surgery is lacking, particularly among positions of leadership. <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate trends racial/ethnical minority groups stratified by gender along the surgical pipeline, as well <h3>Design, Setting, and Participants</h3> This cross-sectional longitudinal analysis assessed US faculty census data obtained from Association American Medical Colleges roster Faculty Administrative Management Online User System database. Surgical members...
<h3>Importance</h3> The lack of underrepresented in medicine physicians within US academic surgery continues, with Black surgeons representing a disproportionately low number. <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate the trend general residency application, matriculation, and graduation rates for trainees compared their racial ethnic counterparts over time. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> In this nationwide multicenter study, data from Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) match...
To determine the role of race and gender in career experience Black/AA academic surgeons to quantify prevalence with racial bias stratified by gender.Compared their male counterparts, Black/African American women remain significantly underrepresented among senior surgical faculty department leadership. The impact on professional trajectory has not been well-studied.A cross-sectional survey regarding demographics, employment, perceived barriers advancement was distributed via email surgeon...
Standard race adjustments for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and reference creatinine can yield a lower acute kidney injury (AKI) chronic disease (CKD) prevalence among African American patients than non–race adjusted estimates. We developed two race-agnostic computable phenotypes that assess health 139,152 subjects admitted to the University of Florida Health between 1/2012–8/2019 by removing modifier from estimated GFR formula used race-adjusted algorithm ( 1) utilizing 2021...
This Viewpoint endeavors to provide an overview of mechanisms by which artificial intelligence can either propagate or counteract disparities and suggests methods tilt the balance toward fairness equity in surgical care.
Bariatric surgery effectively treats severe obesity and metabolic diseases. However, individual outcomes vary depending on sustainable lifestyle change. Little is known about patterns after bariatric among the US population.To compare level of physical activity eating behavior postbariatric patients, individuals eligible for surgery, those with normal weight.A cross-sectional study using nationally representative survey data from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 2015-2018....
Obesity creates many health challenges for patients and the physicians who care them. While weight loss following bariatric surgery often yields improvement of comorbidities related to obesity, it also causes unanticipated changes in underlying physiology. We present cases 2 young with morbid obesity underwent sleeve gastrectomy postoperatively developed symptomatic sinus bradycardia. These instances emphasize presentation, nuance, potential complications involved treating bradycardia...
Obesity in trauma patients is an established risk factor contributing to postoperative complications, but the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and patient outcomes not well-defined, especially when stratified by mechanism of injury. We surveyed laparotomy registry at academic level 1 center over a 3-year period identify mortality, injury severity score, hospital length stay (hLOS) outcome measures across BMI classes, with further stratification injury: blunt vs penetrating trauma....
Extracranial vertebral artery aneurysms represent an uncommon presentation of collagen vascular disease. We performed staged proximal embolization large left aneurysm after distal common carotid-to-vertebral bypass at C2 in a young adult patient with Marfan syndrome and hypoplastic contralateral artery. Dilation the autogenous saphenous vein graft occurred 1 year stenosis requiring operative revision. Subsequent dilation basilar led to symptoms pontine compression 18 months that have...
Peptic ulcer disease is a relatively rare entity in the pediatric population. Given trend toward multimodal pain control for crises Sickle Cell Disease patients, they are at an increased risk of developing complications secondary to peptic disease. We discuss case patient on therapy that presented with perforated requiring emergent surgery. While helps ease dependency narcotic medication, it does present other potential problems like bleeding or perforation. For those can be categorized this...
Although obesity in trauma patients is accepted as a risk factor for postoperative complications, recent literature offers conflicting evidence regarding the effect of body mass index (BMI) on mortality undergoing laparotomy. To address this question, we examined patient population Level 1 Trauma Center during 3-year period to compare rates and other outcomes between BMI groups Through retrospective chart review electronic medical records, with subsequent stratification data based BMI, found...
