ANALYSIS OF CLINICAL CRITERIA TO DETERMINE STABILITY FOR DISCHARGE AMONG PATIENTS HOSPITALIZED WITH COVID-19
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Patients hospitalized with COVID-19 can clinically deteriorate in the second week of illness after a period of initial stability. Thus, an important clinical question is determining when it is safe to discharge these patients from the hospital without overwhelming hospitals’ capacities. Unfortunately, discharge criteria for COVID-19 patients are often based on expert opinion, with […]

AGE-BASED DIFFERENCES IN THE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF REMOTE BIOMETRIC MONITORING OF COVID-19 PATIENTS WITH EXERTIONAL HYPOXIA
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Hospitalizations to treat SARS-CoV-2 infected patients have strained health systems worldwide. Monitored outpatient management of select low-risk COVID-19 patients with isolated exertional hypoxia could help preserve hospital resources and reduce costs while aiming to maintain a high standard of care. In this retrospective cohort analysis, we aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of […]

CAUSAL EFFECTS OF EMPIRIC ANTIBIOTICS ON RISK OF CLOSTRIDIOIDES DIFFICILE: A TARGET TRIAL EMULATION COHORT STUDY
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is a common, often nosocomial infection associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Antibiotics are the most important modifiable risk factor, but empiric antibiotics remain appropriate for many patients with severe acute illness. Which antibiotics minimize the risk of CDI remains an important unanswered question. Because protective equipment and isolation were […]

RISK STRATIFICATION IN COVID-19 PATIENTS: PERFORMANCE OF POINT-OF-CARE SEVERITY SCORES FOR PREDICTING PROGNOSIS IN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT PATIENTS PRESENTING WITH COVID-19
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Early risk stratification scores utilizing data available at the bedside have been used regularly to identify patients at greatest risk of poor outcomes from rapidly evolving conditions like sepsis. Little is known about how point-of-care scores developed for sepsis perform at predicting outcomes in large, heterogeneous cohorts of patients with COVID-19. Our objective was […]

EPIDEMIOLOGY OF NON-ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE (NAFLD) AMONGST US POPULATION.
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is defined as the presence of ≥5% of hepatic steatosis (HS) in the absence of other liver disorders, such as chronic viral or autoimmune hepatitis, steatosis induced by drugs, significant alcohol consumption, hemochromatosis, or Wilson’s disease. There is limited literature describing national prevalence and epidemiological characteristics of NAFLD in […]

A MULTICENTER EXPERIENCE WITH TOCILIZUMAB IN PATIENTS HOSPITALIZED WITH COVID-19 IN THE UPPER MIDWEST
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Elevated proinflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, are associated with significant morbidity and mortality in COVID-19, and it is hypothesized that blocking the inflammatory pathway may prevent disease progression[1]. IL 6 inhibitors were proposed as a treatment option for hospitalized patients to improve patient-centered outcomes[1]. Few studies that investigated the safety of tocilizumab showed heterogeneous results[2,3]. […]

REGIONAL, RACE CHARACTERISTICS AND OUTCOMES AMONG PATIENTS HOSPITALIZED FOR OSTEOMYELITIS IN THE UNITED STATES.
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Osteomyelitis is an acute or chronic infection of the bone structures which can be caused by either bacteria, fungi, or mycobacteria. Studies have reported a high annual incident of about 1 in 675 hospital admission in the United States. The overall incident is higher in the male population for reasons unclear and increases with […]

COMPARING THE SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF APIXABAN AND WARFARIN FOR ACUTE VENOUS THROMBOEMBOLISM IN PATIENTS WITH END STAGE RENAL DISEASE
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) are at significantly increased risk for both thrombosis and bleeding relative to those with normal renal function, which makes anticoagulation particularly challenging. Evidence suggests that rivaroxaban and dabigatran are associated with a higher risk of bleeding in ESRD patients. To date, no large national cohort studies have […]

ASSOCIATION BETWEEN OBESITY AND LENGTH OF COVID-19 HOSPITALIZATION: UNEXPECTED INSIGHTS FROM THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION NATIONAL COVID-19 REGISTRY
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Obesity is associated with many cardiopulmonary comorbidities independently associated with worse health outcomes in acute illness, yet the physiological mechanisms potentially making obese patients more susceptible to COVID-19 remain uncertain. Adiposity-derived immunosuppression, increased thrombogenic potential, and predilection towards inflammatory hyperreactivity have all been postulated as potential mediators of this phenomenon. Yet, the most obvious […]

FACTORS AFFECTING PERIPHERAL IV AWARENESS
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVs) are the most frequently used invasive devices in hospitalized patients. Recent evidence has shown that these devices are not benign, and put patients at risk of serious bloodstream infections as well as other complications. Given their ubiquity, PIVs do not exist independently, and are used in a diverse set of […]
