IN- HOSPITAL ECONOMIC AND SURVIVAL BURDEN OF ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY AMONG PATIENTS WITH RENAL CELL CARCINOMA
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of renal cell carcinoma or its treatment. It is unclear whether AKI, compared to inpatients with similar clinical and hospital-level characteristics without AKI, is associated with worse clinical outcomes and higher costs. To address this void, our study aimed to evaluate how an AKI diagnosis affects […]

Is Heart Score Offer a Better Tool for Ruling Out Acs in the Ed?
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: There are several scoring models used for risk stratification of patients presenting with chest pain. The HEART score is a tool recently developed in a European cohort of patients. It combines 5 elements: history, EKG, age, risk factors, and troponin. We aimed to compare its predictive value with that of TIMI and GRACE scores […]

OUTCOMES OF PATIENTS WITH RHABDOMYOLYSIS AND ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY REQUIRING RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Rhabdomyolysis is a condition of rapid muscle breakdown resulting in myalgia, enzyme elevations, electrolyte imbalance. Released heme pigment may lead to tubular obstruction, vasoconstriction, and tubular epithelial cell injury, causing acute kidney injury (AKI) as a severe complication. Especially with predisposing conditions such as volume depletion. Early and aggressive fluid resuscitation is an essential […]

Universal Opt‐Out HIV Screening in “Medical” Versus “Surgical” Inpatients
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: An estimated 1 in 5 HIV‐positive Americans is unaware of their HIV status. Experts warn that this subgroup notably contributes in propagating the U.S. HIV epidemic. Universal opt‐out screening may mitigate this problem but remains haphazardly implemented. Inpatient‐based programs are a potential pathway toward efficient HIV screening. However, supportive studies are sparse and focus […]

RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF CLINICAL UTILITY OF RENAL ULTRASOUND IN HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS DIAGNOSED WITH ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in adult hospitalized patients, with the incidence being reported as high as 7.2%. While evaluation of the cause of AKI is often necessary, in hospitalized patients the causes of AKI are more likely to be pre-renal or intrinsic. Previous studies have found that decreased renal perfusion, medications, radiographic […]
