Background: Ceftriaxone or cefotaxime has been the drug of choice to treat spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) for many years, but little is known about microbiology, resistance rate to cephalosporines, and clinical outcomes over the last few decades. Our study aimed to describe the clinical and microbiological characteristics of culture-positive SBP at University of Kentucky Hospital. […]

Background: In the inpatient setting, opioids are the most commonly prescribed medication and the 2nd most frequent cause of adverse drug events (ADE). Identifying patients at high risk for ADEs related to narcotics is essential. These ADEs include ileus, altered mental status, and respiratory depression. Obstructive sleep apnea, organ impairment, and other medication use (i.e. […]

Background: Drug induced long QT syndrome is quite common in daily clinical practice but its impact is unknown. Methods: We searched the PubMed and EMBASE databases (until May 2nd, 2017) to identify studies reporting drug induced Long QT syndrome and followed the PRISMA guidelines. The main outcomes measured in these studies were QTc prolongation, Ventricular […]

Background: The hands of hospitalists are often the source for transmitting multidrug resistant organisms (MDROs), and as such are the target of numerous hand hygiene interventions. Despite this focus, the prevalence of various MDROs on healthcare personnel (HCP) hands during routine patient care has not been well established. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review to: […]

Background: Hospitalizations related to injection drug use (IDU) are often complicated by complex psychosocial circumstances and behavioral health needs. Despite growing hospitalizations amongst this patient population, little is known about physician experience caring for these patients. Our study aims to explore physician perspectives in caring for patients with IDU to understand the impact of these […]

Background: Warfarin is commonly used in long-term anticoagulation and has a narrow therapeutic index. Dosing is dependent on intrinsic patient variables including cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) and VKORC1 polymorphisms. High protein binding and CYP-dependent clearance mechanisms of NSAIDs also affect warfarin serum levels. This study investigates the observed pharmacologic interaction of concurrent NSAID and warfarin […]

Hospital Medicine 2018; April 8-11; Orlando, Fla.
Background: Medication alerts are one of the touted safety features with the electronic health record (EHR). With time, users tend to override the alerts, which leads to patient harm. The phenomenon of “alert fatigue” is well known to any practicing clinician. Frequent interruptions of little value train physicians to disregard alerts in favor of efficiency. […]

Hospital Medicine 2019, March 24-27, National Harbor, Md.
Background: There have been increases in the incidence of and significant costs associated with hospitalizations due to injection-related infection sequelae both in the U.S. and worldwide. Infection sequelae include but are not limited to cellulitis and abscess, bacteremia and sepsis, endocarditis, osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, ulcers, and thrombophlebitis. Because of the unique bio-socio-psycho needs of injection […]
