SHM Converge 2022
Background: Hospitalized COIVD-19 patients are complex and heterogenous with regards to socio-demographics and comorbidities and many patients are at heightened risk for adverse clinical outcome. Early risk stratification enables clinical decision making for appropriateness and timeliness of interventions. Since the pandemic began, more than 100 models to forecast prognosis for hospitalized patients with COVID 19 […]

Background: Asthma is one of the most common chronic medical conditions affecting around 300 million people worldwide. It is a disorder of the airways characterized by recurrent symptoms of airway obstruction and inflammation. Invasive mechanical ventilation for patients admitted to the hospital with asthma is challenging with higher complications and higher rates of patient-ventilator asynchrony, […]

Case Presentation: A 49-year-old male with primary sclerosing cholangitis and newly diagnosed locally advanced cholangiocarcinoma was initiated on 5-Fluorouracil (FU) based chemotherapy (FOLFOX) as an outpatient (Figure 1). Within one day of receiving FOLFOX, the patient presented to the ED with acute, intermittent chest pain radiating to his left arm and shortness of breath. Vital […]

SHM Converge 2022
Background: Patients with cardiac arrest, either with a shockable or non-shockable rhythm, are at high risk of death and neurological impairment. Hypoxic-anoxic brain injury is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in these patients. (1) International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) recommends moderate therapeutic hypothermia (32°C to 36°C) for patients who achieve return of […]

Case Presentation: A 76-year-old male with metastatic renal cell carcinoma presented to the hospital due to multiple syncopal episodes. The patient was prescribed pembrolizumab by infusion every 3 weeks (last dose was a week and a half prior). His presenting vitals were significant for a heart rate of 30 beats per minute and systolic blood […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: Patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) experience painful and life threatening vaso-occlusive episodes (VOE) that cause frequent hospitalizations, account for >80% of their >$1 million lifetime healthcare costs, and can be fatal. Yet, there is a dearth of evidence addressing inpatient VOE care leading to a stark absence of evidence-informed guidelines. As a first […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: Sepsis and septic shock, critical health concerns in the U.S., demonstrate varied mortality rates across different racial groups. This study examines the impact of race on mortality and complications in septic shock, providing insights into healthcare disparities. Methods: Using data from the National Inpatient Sample database (2016-2020), this retrospective analysis included 2,789,890 patients with […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: Approximately 10% adults with Sickle Cell disease (SCD) has Pulmonary hypertension (PHTN). There are several etiologies like hypoxia driven and microvascular obstruction contributing to PHTN. However, the in-hospital outcomes of PHTN on SCD has not been well studied. Methods: We queried 2018 National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database to identify SCD and different types of […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an autosomal recessive disease resulting in a broad range of functional and structural renal and cardiac alterations. Chronic kidney disease is with associated proteinuria, microalbuminuria and hemoglobinuria. Cardiac complications include diastolic heart disease, dysrhythmia and sudden death. In patients with advancing age, cardio-renal dysfunction can have substantial effects on […]

Hospital Medicine 2016, March 6-9, San Diego, Calif.
Background: Sepsis, severe sepsis, and septic shock combined, are estimated to affect between 650,000 and 750,000 Americans annually, and has an associated mortality rate between 20 to 50%. Early identification of patients with sepsis is critical, as treatment delays are associated with significant increases in mortality. The electronic health record (EHR) contains near-real-time physiologic parameters, […]
