Background: Since the implementation of the Hospital Readmission Reduction Program, 30-day readmissions have decreased across the U.S. regardless of hospital teaching intensity. The effect of financial penalties on long term readmission rates has not been studied. Teaching hospitals serve as leaders in medical education, research, innovation, and patient care. Therefore, we examined whether long-term readmission […]

Background: Patients spend about 95% of their hospitalization in bed, increasing the risk of functional decline associated with adverse events and readmissions. Some hospitals track patients’ functional mobility trends using Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care 6-Clicks Inpatient Short Form (AM-PAC). We aim to understand the associations between functional mobility loss from hospital admission to discharge, […]

Background: Statin use has been shown to be beneficial in secondary stroke prevention. However, the optimal LDL level that should be achieved is still uncertain. Since there is a dearth of information, it is unclear if statins are useful in patients with stroke with baseline LDL ≤70 mg/dl in terms of morbidity and mortality outcomes. […]

Background: Even after successful treatment, many patients with tuberculosis (TB) suffer from post-TB sequelae. These may be structural complications (such as bronchiectasis, broncholithiasis, residual cavitation, COPD), infectious complications (such as COPD exacerbations, Aspergillus fumigatus infections, non-tubercular mycobacterial infections, pneumonia), or psychosocial morbidities (such as anxiety, depression, financial burden).[1] The impact of post-TB sequelae is not […]

Background: A higher Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) prevalence was associated with increased rates of post-operative complications including increased marginal ulceration and leak rates. Limited studies described prevalence of H. pylori in patients undergoing bariatric surgery and H. pylori associated upper and lower gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB). Primary Aim of our study was to evaluate the prevalence […]
