Implementation of lung cancer screening programs is occurring across the United States. Programs vary in approaches to patient identification and shared decision-making. The eligibility persons referred programs, outcomes determination during decision-making, potential for electronic medical record (EMR) identify eligible individuals have not been well described.Our objectives were assess compare information extracted from EMR derived a decision-making conversation screening.We performed...
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends annual lung cancer screening (LCS) for adults who meet specific age and smoking history criteria. To evaluate race-, ethnicity-, rurality-based differences in distance to the nearest LCS facility. Cross-sectional ecological study. census tracts. 71 691 outcome variable was road network miles between a tract Distance log-transformed, geometric means are reported. Census tracts were classified as majority (>50%) American Indian/Alaska Native...
The use of intrapleural therapy with tissue plasminogen activator and DNase improves outcomes in patients complicated pleural space infections. However, little data exists for the combination after initial dosing period six doses. We sought to describe safety profile beyond this standard dosing. A retrospective review receiving was performed at two institutions. identified 101 from January 2013 August 2015 infection. extended doses utilized 20% (20/101) patients. mean number those undergoing...
Importance There is a paucity of high-quality prospective randomized clinical trials comparing intrapleural fibrinolytic therapy (IPFT) with surgical decortication in patients complicated pleural infections. Objective To assess the feasibility, safety, and efficacy an algorithm tissue plasminogen activator plus deoxyribonuclease Design, Setting, Participants This parallel pilot trial was performed at single urban community-based center from March 1, 2019, to December 31, 2021, follow-up for...
To use egocentric network analysis (ENA) to identify how the role of social networks relates e-cigarette among college fraternity members.
Objectives: Recommendations for programmatic components lung cancer screening programs (LCSPs) have been published; however, adoption within LCSPs has not mandated and implementation requires resources. We aimed to determine the presence of recommended structural quality elements barriers performing LCS a community‐based, multistate healthcare network. Methods: conducted cross‐sectional study using two structured interviews community‐based network between 1 June 2018 31 July 2020. Two...
Rationale: Patients with malignant or paramalignant pleural effusions (MPEs PMPEs) may have tunneled catheter (TPC) management withheld because of infection concerns from immunosuppression associated antineoplastic therapy.Objectives: To determine the rate infections related to TPC use and relationship therapy, immune system competency, overall survival (OS).Methods: We performed an international, multiinstitutional study patients MPEs PMPEs undergoing 2008 2016. were stratified by whether...

Tunneled pleural catheters have been established to be safe and effective in the management of recurrent symptomatic effusions. Obstruction tunneled catheter is rare; however, when obstructed fails achieve its primary goal symptom palliation. The obstruction has not studied.We aimed determine if use intracatheter fibrinolytic therapy restoring function.One hundred seventy-two patients with placed from 2009 2014 were reviewed identify who received fibrinolysis for obstruction, defined by a...
Rationale: When drainage of complicated pleural space infections alone fails, there exists two strategies in surgery and dual agent-intrapleural fibrinolytic therapy; however, studies comparing these management are limited. Objectives: To determine the outcomes versus therapy as primary for (CPSI). Methods: A retrospective review adults with a CPSI managed or fibrinolytics between 1/2015 3/2018 within multicenter, multistate hospital system was performed. Fibrinolytics defined any dose...
