Defining a career focus, such as expert clinician, medical education, quality and safety, or administrative leadership, has been noted to improve job satisfaction for hospitalists, however there are […]

Background: The role of aspirin in primary prevention of cardiovascular events remains controversial, Especially in diabetic patients. We have conducted a meta-analysis of all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of aspirin for primary prevention in diabetic patients. Methods: Literature search of Pubmed, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library and Clinicaltrials.gov for related RCTs […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a profound impact on global health, economies, and society, further increasing strain on public healthcare, while exacerbating psychosocial stressors. Multiple single-center and regional studies have shown an overall increase in national rates of firearm injury-related emergency department (ED) visits (FIRE) during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study […]

Background: Foot amputation rates in Black patients with diabetic foot complications have been historically higher than White patients. To determine if improvements in this disparity occurred, we carried out trend analysis of lower extremity amputation rates for patients hospitalized with diabetic foot ulcers and infections (DFU/Is). Methods: Using the National Inpatient Sample database, we conducted […]

Background: One year all-cause mortality rates after a fragility fracture are as high as 24%. Treatment of osteoporosis following fracture reduces mortality, recurrent fractures rates, and healthcare costs. Without endocrinology involvement, clinicians often fail to recognize and treat osteoporosis. We aimed to assess the frequency of fragility hip fractures including recurrence rates at our academic […]

Background: Bridging anticoagulation is commonly prescribed to patients with atrial fibrillation who are initiating therapy or require interruption of anticoagulation for procedures. Current guidelines recommend bridging for patients at high risk of stroke, but no data guide this recommendation. Among patients with atrial fibrillation and one or more risk factors for thromboembolic stroke, the recently […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: Consistent with national reports, post-pandemic burnout rates for the >100 hospitalist faculty at our institution were noted to be disproportionally high relative to the department1. Hospitalists engage in a wide range of non-clinical work including QI projects and committees embedded in the structure of efficient and high-quality inpatient care2. Building off literature in which […]

Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common bacterial infection in infants, with potentially serious consequences. Even though urinalysis (UA) is a commonly used screening test for UTI, there is a lack of consensus on its accuracy in well-appearing febrile infants below 28 days old. This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of UA, both […]

Hospital Medicine 2016, March 6-9, San Diego, Calif.
Background: Little is known about the economic value of quality improvement (QI) interventions, including those related to central-line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) and catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Econlit, the Centre for Reviews & Dissemination Economic Evaluations, Greylit, and Worldcat from January 1, 2004 to May 15, 2015; examined lists of references; […]

Hospital Medicine 2017, May 1-4, 2017; Las Vegas, Nev.
Background: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare but deadly thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) that is caused by ADAMTS13 deficiency. The PLASMIC clinical scoring system was developed and validated to determine the pretest probability of severe ADAMTS13 deficiency in cases of suspected TTP. We studied the role of the PLASMIC score in guiding use of the […]
