Background: COVID-19 vaccines have greatly decreased both rate of morbidity and mortality of the COVID-19 infection, but studies have reported myocarditis in patients after vaccination especially with mRNA vaccines. The purpose of this study is to identify if there is a significant correlation between COVID-19 vaccines and myocarditis. Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Web of […]

Background: The increased morbidity and disproportionately high mortality rates among Black and Hispanic patients hospitalized due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are well documented. However, little is known about how patients’ experiences differ across racial and ethnic lines after discharge. Methods: A survey was conducted online in the United States by the Harris Poll from […]

Background: Intubation is both an important outcome measure along the spectrum of all respiratory illnesses and a marker of disease severity. Time of intubation (TOI) is an important point to identify in the electronic health record (EHR) as it allows researchers to study the association of pre and post-intubation variables with mortality and other relevant […]

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an acute viral illness affecting multiple systems caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Ever since its first detection in Wuhan, China in Nov 2019, SARS-CoV-2 has infected over 220 million people causing more than 4.5 million deaths worldwide and the numbers are increasing.

Background: Oxygen saturation (SpO2) is often overestimated in darker skinned individuals (1–3), but the ideal method to quantify this phenomenon and measure its impact on clinical outcomes is unclear. Studying the distributions of SpO2 may not be the appropriate method because these distributions are influenced by clinicians’ real time efforts to maintain SpO2 in a […]

SHM Converge 2022
Background: Patients hospitalized with COVID-19 are at risk for clinical deterioration after discharge. Because of this concern, hospitals established home monitoring programs during the pandemic. This study sought to describe these programs among a sample of US academic medical centers. Methods: We conducted a voluntary survey of hospital medicine leaders who participate in the Hospital […]

SHM Converge 2022
Background: The management of patients with COVID-19 is challenging for front-line healthcare providers given limited validated, evidence-based clinical decision support. Determining patient mortality risk is critical for effective triage, management, and discharge decision making. Numerous COVID-19 risk prediction models have been created, though the robustness of these models varies. The 4C Mortality Score, created by […]
