Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious and prevalent public health issue associated with increased healthcare utilization and worse healthcare outcomes. The majority of IPV outcomes research is conducted in emergency and outpatient populations. Our study aims to investigate how IPV exposure affects hospitalization rates and outcomes in adult patients. Methods: We performed a […]

Background: Oligella urethralis is an organism which is normally isolated as a commensal from the genitourinary tract. Clinical infection due to this organism is rarely reported in the literature. We hereby report a case series of six patients with oligella urethralis infection. We studied the clinical features, antibiotic susceptibility and clinical outcome in these patients. […]

Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects about 100,000 people in the US. The disease causes significant mortality, morbidity and frequent hospitalizations secondary to primary manifestations of the disease and its complications. We conducted a retrospective, single institution study in adult patients (pts), ≥ 18 years with SCD to assess factors associated with health care utilization […]

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common infection associated with antibiotic misuse. Catheter-associated UTI (CAUTI) is the largest reservoir of nosocomial antibiotic-resistant pathogens, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Health-care associated urinary tract infection is also a known risk factor for antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and an important entity that has yet to be characterized. The aim of […]

Background: Microbiota-based treatments have shown promise to reduce recurrence for recurrent Clostridioides difficile infections (rCDI), but consistent and reliable safety data are needed to support regulatory approvals and broaden patient access. Here we provide cumulative safety data from 5 prospective clinical studies evaluating RBX2660—a standardized, microbiota-based investigational live biotherapeutic—for reducing rCDI. Methods: This analysis included […]

SHM Converge 2022
Background: Recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (rCDI) is an urgent public health threat. RBX2660 is a standardized, stabilized, investigational microbiota-based live biotherapeutic that has been evaluated in 5 prospective clinical trials. Eligibility criteria in clinical trials are often narrowly defined, excluding broader patient populations. Herein, we report a retrospective analysis of safety and efficacy of RBX2660 […]

Background: Duplicate as-needed (referred to hereafter as “PRN”) orders for common indications such as pain, nausea, insomnia, and constipation are frequent in hospitalized patients. Without explicit instructions for circumstances or order of administration, therapeutic duplication can cause confusion for nurses and violates both Join Commission and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) guidelines.

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 […]

Background: The approach to managing and admitting patients with syncope in an emergency setting lacks standardization. Our study aims to investigate how regional variation in management of emergency department (ED) patients presenting with syncope impacts outcomes and resource utilization in this patient population. Methods: We used the 2006 to 2014 Nationwide Emergency Department Sample to […]

Hospital Medicine 2018; April 8-11; Orlando, Fla.
Background: Patients who are frequently admitted to Medicine inpatient services comprise a distinct subset of readmitted patients about whom not much is known. A prior study collected data on characteristics of 153 frequently hospitalized patients. This was a follow-up evaluation to determine the categories of patients the original cohort belonged to, and to collect mortality […]
