Background: SGLT-2 inhibitors are one of the emerging drugs in heart failure. Several meta-analyses prove its effect in reducing the composite outcome of cardiovascular death/hospitalization for heart failure but it is unknown if they contain all the primary studies hence a need for a pooled analysis Methods: We performed an umbrella analysis and used the […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: Biases and microaggressions are common in the clinical setting and can impact the wellbeing of medical trainees and faculty. From our knowledge, this is the first study to assess workplace experiences based on group identity of medicine faculty and trainees across sites and subspecialities using qualitative and quantitative data to help design re-enactment upstander […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: Although the history of refeeding syndrome is long, few studies provide scientific information regarding refeeding syndrome in frail medical inpatients. In this study, we aimed to investigate the incidence, risk factors, and clinical implications of refeeding syndrome in frail hospitalized patients for acute medical problems. Methods: This was a single-center retrospective cohort study. Clinical […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: Paracentesis is a common procedure for patients with decompensated cirrhosis. In patients with cirrhosis and superimposed renal impairment, clinicians may hesitate to perform a large volume paracentesis, given concerns of intraabdominal fluid shifts resulting in further renal dysfunction. In this study, we aimed to answer whether greater ascites fluid removal was associated with 48-hour […]

Background: Inpatient admissions for Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) represent a substantial economic burden within the US healthcare system with patients experiencing high rates of 30-day readmission and mortality. To more efficiently and effectively serve complex cardiovascular (CV) patients at a major cardiac care center, Intermountain Health created a dedicated CV hospitalist service which has expanded […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: Black patients have been shown to have worse physical function, higher likelihood of developing mobility limitations and higher rates of mobility loss and functional decline. Despite these functional disadvantages, Black patients are less likely to receive acute and post-acute rehabilitation services. These disparities have been described in community-dwelling, ambulatory, and surgical populations, and social […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: Epipericardial fat necrosis (EFN) presents as acute chest pain with the potential to mimic life-threatening conditions. It is unclear whether this is truly a rare condition, or simply underdiagnosed by low threshold of suspicion. The literature suggests an estimated prevalence of 2% of EFN as the cause of chest pain in all patients presenting […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: The diagnosis of sepsis is often associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. When it occurs in patients with Heart failure (HF), those rates increase dramatically. This study focuses on the differences in the outcomes in septic patients with Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) versus patients with Heart Failure with reduced […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: Delirium is a common clinical syndrome, particularly among elderly patients in the inpatient hospital setting, and carries considerable associated morbidity. These patients can display symptoms of inattention, agitation, and restlessness, often necessitating the use of chemical or physical restraints to ensure the safety of the patient and staff. Unfortunately, these interventions are not without […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: The use of physical restraints (PR) in the hospitals among patients is associated with increased delirium, pressure ulcers, prolonged ventilator use, post traumatic stress disorder and disruption of therapeutic relationship with the healthcare team. The current scientific research suggests their ineffectiveness for patient safety like preventing falls or dislodging medical devices. There has been […]
