Trauma patients are at high risk for developing venous thromboembolism (VTE). The VTE rate when enoxaparin sodium is dosed by anti-factor Xa (anti-Xa) trough level not well described.To determine whether targeting a prophylactic anti-Xa adjusting the dose would reduce in trauma patients.Single-institution, historic vs prospective cohort comparison study an urban, academic, I center. was enrolled from August 2014 to May 2015 and compared with admitted 2013 2014. who received adjusted...
Objective Osteonecrosis is a serious comorbidity in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. The aims of this study were to describe the prevalence symptomatic osteonecrosis, determine pattern joint involvement, identify outcomes and investigate predictive factors large cohort erythematosus followed prospectively. Methods At Toronto Lupus Clinic have been prospectively according standard protocol since 1970. recorded if are confirmed by imaging. site osteonecrosis whether or not surgery...
<h3>Importance</h3> Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) benefits patients with failure who are too hemodynamically unstable for intermittent hemodialysis. The duration of beyond which continued use is futile, particularly in a population admitted to and primarily cared by surgical service (hereinafter referred as patients), unclear. <h3>Objective</h3> To analyze proportions independent risk factors survival discharge after initiation CRRT among intensive care unit (SICU). <h3>Design,...
Objective: To report the outcomes of using human amniotic membrane-derived dry matrix (AMDDM) in management persistent corneal epithelial defects (PEDs) various etiologies. Methods: A cohort study 84 patients age range 7 to 92 years with 93 PEDs were treated AMDDM (Omnigen ® OmniLenz at two centers (Queen Victoria Hospital and Maidstone Hospital) UK. The main outcome measures healing response PED time heal after application AMDDM. Results: total 106 applications recorded for 81 (52 males, 29...
BACKGROUND Pregnant trauma patients (PTPs) undergo observation and fetal monitoring following due to possible delivery (FD) or adverse outcome. There is a paucity of data on PTP outcomes, especially related risk factors for FD. We aimed identify predictors posttraumatic FD in potentially viable pregnancies. METHODS All PTPs (≥18 years) with ≥24-weeks gestational age were included this multicenter retrospective study at 12 Level-I II centers between 2016 2021. who underwent ((+) FD) compared...
BACKGROUND Duodenal leak is a feared complication of repair, and innovative complex repairs with adjunctive measures (CRAM) were developed to decrease both occurrence severity when leaks occur. Data on the association CRAM duodenal are sparse, its impact outcomes nonexistent. We hypothesized that primary repair alone (PRA) would be associated decreased rates; however, improved recovery do METHODS A retrospective, multicenter analysis from 35 Level 1 trauma centers included patients older...
BACKGROUND Leak following surgical repair of traumatic duodenal injuries results in prolonged hospitalization and oftentimes nil per os treatment. Parenteral nutrition (PN) has known morbidity; however, leak patients often have complex hospital courses resulting barriers to enteral (EN). We hypothesized that EN alone would be associated with (1) shorter duration until closure (2) less infectious complications length stay compared PN. METHODS This was a post hoc analysis retrospective,...
Aims: To report an unusual case of acute dacryocystits with fully patent nasolacrimal duct at follow-up after incision and curettage.Case Report: A 63-year-old patient dacryocystitis abscess. CT orbits confirmed without any orbital collection. Incision drainage the abscess was performed.Results: Postoperative syringing demonstrated a duct, long term relief epiphora.Conclusion: In some patients, dacryocystorhinostomy is not required abscess; reversible causes such as dacryoliths should always...
Abdominal seat belt sign (SBS) has historically entailed admission and observation because of the diagnostic limitations computed tomography (CT) imaging high rates hollow viscus injury (HVI). Recent single-institution, observational studies have questioned utility this practice.To evaluate whether a negative CT scan can safely predict absence HVI in setting an abdominal SBS.This prospective, cohort study was conducted 9 level I trauma centers between August 2020 October 2021 included adult...
High health care costs encourage initiatives that avoid overuse of resources and identify opportunities to promote appropriate care.To investigate the causes potentially avoidable surgical intensive unit (SICU) admissions disposition delays determine whether targeted interventions could decrease these stays.This prospective, observational study focused on SICU days, as determined by observers with input from rounding intensivists at a 24-bed open an urban, academic hospital. The...
Effects of advanced maternal age (AMA) pregnancies (defined as ≥35 years) on pregnant trauma patients (PTPs) are unknown. This study compared AMA versus younger PTPs, hypothesizing PTPs have increased risk fetal delivery (FD).A retrospective (2016-2021) multicenter included all PTPs. Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate FD after trauma.A total 950 were included. Both cohorts had similar gestational and injury severity scores. The group injuries the pancreas, bladder,...
