SHM Converge 2023
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic was one of the biggest threats to human health, affecting health and health care delivery systems at both the individual and institutional level. There have been varied reports about how sociodemographic factors affect outcomes of patient with COVID-19 [1] [2] [3]. In this US claims based study, we analysed discharge data […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19), primarily a respiratory virus, can affect multiple organs, including the heart. Cardiac complications can affect 20-30% of COVID-19 patients and lead to worse morbidity and mortality. Cardiovascular complications can include myocarditis, acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, and arrhythmias Myocarditis is a well-known complication among COVID-19 infections, with limited large-scale studies evaluating outcomes […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: We observed improved survival among COVID-19 patients receiving remdesivir (RDV) during the early parts of the pandemic (Aug-Nov 2020) [1]. Clinical management of COVID-19 continues to develop over time as variants of concern (VOC) evolve. We extend the previous study to characterize outcomes for patients admitted on low-flow oxygen (LFO) and compare hospital all-cause […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: The effects of diabetes medications on COVID-19 hospitalization outcomes have not been consistent. We sought to determine the effect of metformin, DPP-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i), and insulin on admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), need for assisted ventilation, development of renal insufficiency, and mortality, in patients admitted with COVID-19 infection after controlling for clinical […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a cardiac emergency that requires timely reperfusion preferably with cardiac catheterization. The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV2), has adversely impacted the delivery of healthcare to patients with STEMI. Several process changes were observed across the world during this period, including alternative cardiac […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Epidemiological data across the USA show health disparities in COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and mortality by race/ethnicity. The state of New Mexico has the largest Hispanic and the third largest American Indian/Alaskan Natives (AI/AN) populations per capita in the United States. Complications from severe COVID-19 and mortality are largely unreported in diverse cohorts of hospitalized […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: As of 2020, COVID-19 is the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer. COVID-19 accounted for more than a million hospitalization in the USA since the onset of the pandemic. Our aim is to investigate the impact of racial disparities on the outcome of COVID-19 admissions. Methods: We queried the National […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: At the onset of the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, asthma exacerbations reportedly decreased overall, raising the question if in contrast to other viruses, SARS-CoV-2 infection does not induce asthma exacerbations1,2. Like other viruses including endemic coronaviruses, there is theoretical risk of developing bronchospasm in response to viral infection with SARS-CoV-2 for patients with a […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Over 50% of practicing physicians in the United States report burnout with internal medicine having some of the highest rates. The aim of our study is to identify factors that contribute to burnout in academic hospitalists and the impact that COVID-19 has had on this phenomenon. Methods: 19 academic hospitalists at Froedtert Hospital & […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: In the years leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic, venture capital investment in digital health increased rapidly. Beginning in March of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic led to a seismic shift toward asynchronous, remote care delivery to replace in-person care buttressed by passage of the Public Health Emergency Act which established payment parity between in-person […]
