Background: Depression is considered an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease. Post-myocardial infarction (PMI) depression, is an increasingly recognized clinical entity with a prevalence of 10%. Compared with other ethnic groups, African Americans (AA) are more likely to be depressed and have higher coronary artery disease (CAD) burden. Few studies have evaluated the implications of […]

Background: Central nervous system medication (CNS med) use among older adults is associated with high morbidity and mortality. This study described patterns of CNS medication use, and identified people most likely to have CNS medications initiated or deprescribed around hospitalization. Methods: Retrospective cohort study using electronic health record data from 3-hospitals. Patients aged 65 years […]

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, […]

Background: Hospitalists routinely precept third year medical students on general internal medicine wards. One of the key patient care tasks for students is to present and interpret common laboratory test abnormalities. Formal training in interpreting routine diagnostic tests is lacking for students transitioning from preclinical to clinical years. We designed and implemented a module on […]

Background: The integration of Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) in hospital medicine, particularly for inferior vena cava (IVC) assessment, promises significant advancements in patient care. This study investigates the efficacy of POCUS with IVC evaluation in guiding fluid management decisions upon admission, a crucial aspect of hospitalist care. Methods: Conducted from January 1, 2021, to […]

Background: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have been associated with adverse events and increased mortality in patients diagnosed with cirrhosis (1). PPIs are commonly prescribed to patients with cirrhosis who present to the hospital with gastrointestinal bleeds (2). However, guidelines do not suggest routine usage of PPI in patients with cirrhosis without gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) […]

We aimed to learn if there are differences in opioid prescribing among generalist physicians, NPs, and PAs to Medicare beneficiaries. Methods: We performed […]

Background: High need patients are characterized by medical complexity, high amounts of health acute care utilization and disproportionate costs[1]. Recent studies have characterized worsening of loneliness in the general population, however, it has not been characterized in the high need population. We hypothesized that increases in loneliness would be associated with increasing symptoms of depression; […]
