Background: Despite medical advancements for organic and structural diseases, effectively managing acute and chronic functional pain syndromes remains a daunting challenge for hospitalists. Standard inpatient treatments frequently fail to adequately control symptoms, often compelling hospitalists to shift from diagnostics to the contentious task of tapering opioids in patients with legitimate pain. This pivot can lead […]

Background: Anemia is a risk factor for cognitive impairment as a result of the reduced delivery of oxygen to the brain from low hemoglobin (Hb) levels. In ambulatory patients even mild anemia (Hb < 12g/dL) has been associated with reductions in patients’ cognitive function. However, in hospitalized patients it is standard of care to maintain […]

Background: Pain is a frequent symptom in patients who require inpatient rehabilitation. For example, 40-50% of patients hospitalized for stroke rehabilitation report pain. Further, 82% of those hospitalized for postsurgical orthopedic rehabilitation complain of at least moderate pain, and among those hospitalized for rehabilitation after acute traumatic spinal cord injury, 97% report pain at least once […]

Background: The randomized controlled ANZ-STATInS trial demonstrated that de novo statin use did not alter interleukin-6 levels or Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score in of what before SEPSIS-3 was known as severe sepsis. Prospective observational studies indicate that prior statin use sepsis is associated with a decreased rate of severe sepsis. We aimed to […]

Background: Disruptions in normal life routines (such as sleep, function, nutrition, etc.) that commonly occur as part of routine hospital care may be traumatic for acutely ill patients and lead to a generalized condition of high risk after discharge that has been described as “post-hospitalization syndrome.” We created the ARCHES cohort study to measure these […]

Background: Survivors of critical illness, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) requiring invasive mechanical ventilatory support in an intensive care unit (ICU), commonly experience prolonged morbidity in multiple health domains: psychological distress, functional debility, cognitive impairment, and poorer quality of life. This resulting morbidity is now recognized broadly as post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). COVID-19 ICU survivors are at […]

Background: Since the start of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, millions have succumbed to the infection worldwide. The virus is most well-known for its devastating pulmonary and cardiovascular manifestations, but acute kidney injury (AKI) has been frequent as well (reported incidence ranging from 0.5% to 56.9%), and has been repeatedly observed to be associated […]

Background: Alzheimer disease (AD) is characterized by cognitive impairment including memory impairment, executive dysfunction, visuospatial impairment, and behavioral changes. Previous studies have shown that increasing level of physical activity serves as a protective factor against progression of AD. This study aims to assess the effect of long-term physical activity on cognitive function and identify whether […]

Background: Gamification and social incentives, such as family/peer engagement in goal-setting and feedback, are increasingly used by employers and health plans to promote physical activity and lose weight in outpatient settings but these approaches have not been used to improve mobility and reduce hospital-associated functional decline after hospital discharge. Methods: 12-week randomized, controlled trial of […]
