Background: Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) is vital for high-quality patient care, and effective IPC among medical professionals, especially trainees, is crucial to supporting positive individual and team outcomes. Measuring IPC and understanding its impact on patient care remains underexplored. Understanding which IPC patterns are associated with better patient and individual outcomes will inform how to best […]

Background: By law, patients have prompt access to electronic discharge notes in their charts. Technical language and abbreviations make notes difficult to read and understand for a typical patient. Large language models such as GPT-4 may have the potential to transform these notes into patient-friendly language and format. Our objective was to determine whether GPT-4 […]

Background: Acute heart failure (AHF) is the major cause of hospital admission and death. Furthermore, patients admitted with AHF have high readmission rates and postdischarge mortality. Although there have been some reports, which demonstrated the predictive factors of death among patients of acute heart failure in the USA and Europe, there has been no studies […]

Background: Congestive heart failure (CHF) and pneumonia are amongst the leading causes of hospitalization in the United States. Although a growing number of hospitals use both teaching and nonteaching hospitalist services for patient care, the differences in clinical outcomes and efficiency between these two services is not clearly known. The aim of this study […]

Background: Recent guidelines include aspirin as an option to prevent venous thromboembolism (VTE) in selected patients undergoing hip or knee replacement surgery. However, the efficacy of aspirin after arthroplasty has not been well-defined, particularly in more contemporary patient populations. Objective: To compare rates of post-operative VTE between patients who received aspirin-only versus anticoagulants after hip […]

Hospital Medicine 2016, March 6-9, San Diego, Calif.
Background: Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is a strong predictor of cardiovascular events. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of CAC detected by chest CT scan (CT) in heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) patients (pts) in the absence of coronary artery disease history (CAD Hx). Methods: In this retrospective cohort, we queried […]
