Purpose A major concern for patients undergoing facial transplantation relates to postoperative appearance. This study leverages artificial intelligence (AI) visual analysis software provide an objective assessment of perceived age and degree resemblance the donor. Methods Postoperative images 15 face transplant were analyzed by Visage Technologies Visage|SDK™ AI determine age. subgroup eight patients, which donor patient pretrauma photographs available, was using same percent similarity...
The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive overview the epidemiology traumatic craniofacial injuries in U.S. that occur context drugs and/or alcohol. National Electronic Injury and Surveillance System (NEISS) database was queried from 2019 2022 identify all emergency department (ED) patients with reported involving anatomy. Clinical demographic variables were assessed between cases involved drugs/alcohol those did not, utilizing two-proportion z-tests. In total, 441,764...
Abstract Introduction: The American Medical Association recommends that healthcare articles intended for the public should be written at or below a sixth grade reading level. literature has consistently shown online materials on orthopedic surgeries are level well above this threshold. This discrepancy can exacerbate existing disparities, as patients with lower education language barriers may unable to fully understand implications of surgical procedure and postoperative protocol. study...
This study seeks to evaluate the epidemiology of pickleball upper/lower extremity injuries presenting US emergency departments (E.D). The National Electronic Injury and Surveillance System (NEISS) database was queried from 2003-2022 identify patients ED with sustained during 'pickleball' extremities. Patients were subsequently divided into pediatric, adult, geriatric age groups. Demographic clinical variables assessed among groups utilizing two-proportion z-tests Bonferroni correction. A...
Rejection represents a major and common complication in vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA). Over time, recurrent acute or chronic rejection can lead to vascular dermal fibrosis potentially graft loss. To date, non-invasive monitoring tool capture changes among VCA recipients has not been established. This pilot study aims assess the potential value of noninvasive skin elasticity measurements for surveillance longitudinal facial allografts. Viscoelasticity was non-invasively...
Face transplantation is a groundbreaking and complex surgical intervention offering profound physical psychological benefits to patients with severe facial disfigurements. This report provides an update on the long-term psychosocial outcome of eight face transplant recipients.
Abstract Burn injuries pose a significant source of patient morbidity/mortality and reconstructive challenges for burn surgeons, especially in vulnerable populations such as geriatric patients. Our study aims to provide new insights into epidemiology by analyzing the largest national, multicenter sample patients date. Using National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database (2004-2022), individuals with “burn” diagnosis were extracted divided 2 comparison age groups 18-64 65+....
Various sociodemographic factors affect patient access to care. This study aims assess how such as government-funded insurance and socioeconomic status impact the ability of adolescents with cleft lip-associated nasal deformities secondary rhinoplasty procedures. Patients older than 13 years old a history lip/palate were identified in National Inpatient Sample database from 2010 2012. Those who received using International Classification Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) procedural codes. A...
Microtia can have deleterious impacts on the functional, psychological, and aesthetic outcomes of affected young children. Reconstructive procedures alleviate these negative significantly improve quality life for patients; however, cost length hospital stay (LOS) such factors that impact them not been well-characterized. This study seeks to understand hospital-level (institution type, size, geographic region) patient-level (race, age, insurance status) LOS in patients who undergo microtia...
Objective While previous literature has investigated the psychosocial impact and aesthetic satisfaction associated with post-operative scarring for certain pediatric craniofacial conditions, of scar burden resulting from craniosynostosis surgery not been adequately studied. Participants SCAR-Q was shared patients ages 8 older. Thirty-two complete patient responses were recorded. Interventions is a PROM that consists three independent scales - appearance, symptoms, scar. Main Outcome Measures...
