SHM Converge 2021
Background: Outcomes among hospitalized patients with severe vision impairment or blindness have not been extensively explored. The purpose of this study was to determine clinical and resource utilization outcomes in patients with severe vision impairment/blindness. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study. Using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample for year 2017, hospitalized adults with and without […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: The low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) might be protective in patients with sepsis. We sought to characterize potential association of hyperlipidemia (HLP) vs no HLP with all-cause mortality among patients hospitalized for pneumonia. Methods: This is a retrospective observational study. The initial cohort consisted of consecutive 8,553 adults hospitalized at a large academic center with […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: COVID-19 has claimed over 260,000 American lives (1), disproportionately affecting older adults (2). High mortality rates in older adults, along with the potential need for resource allocation, placed an even higher importance on the timely discussion and documentation of advance directives (3). The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence of early […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: Current data indicate that racial and ethnic minorities bear a disproportionate burden of COVID-19 infection and mortality (1-4). Consequently, communities with a higher proportion of minorities are expected to have a higher burden of infection and mortality, however, this hypothesis has not been tested. Therefore, we estimated the disparities across US counties in the […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was labeled a global pandemic rapidly. As of April 22nd, 2020, New York City became its epicenter, reporting differences in death rates among its 5 boroughs. The aim of this study was to investigate the mortality difference associated with hospital factors (teaching versus community hospital) in New York City. […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: Novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has resulted in over 1 million deaths globally(1). Prognostic tools to identify high risk patients are crucial to guide resource allocation efforts(2). We aimed at developing a risk assessment tool for patients with COVID-19 based on the risk factors with most significant effect on hospital admission and in-hospital mortality. Methods: We […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: It is not known whether hospital outcomes are different among patients with deafness/mutism compared to those without this disability. The purpose of this study was to assess clinical outcomes and utilization data among patients with deafness/mutism compared to all other patients. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study. Nationwide Inpatient Sample year 2017, hospitalized […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: On March 7, New York was declared in “State of Emergency”; all Emergency Room and hospital facilities in NYC were overwhelmed by the rapid and high influx of patients with COVID-19 infection. At least 20% of patients with criteria for hospitalization received mechanical ventilation, and the Mortality reached 80% in a time when the […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: Historically, patients transferred from one hospital to another are admitted through the emergency department and then placed on the desired unit at the accepting hospital. This practice creates delays for critically ill patients in need of continuous ICU care. A strategy known as the direct admission addresses this issue. With this strategy, transfer patients […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: Age has been implicated as the main risk factor for COVID-19-related mortality. Yet, critical factors relevant to older patients, such as baseline function and life-sustaining treatment preferences, have not been considered. The objective of this study was to determine patient factors associated with mortality in hospitalized older adults with COVID-19. Methods: A retrospective cohort […]
