Mashup Score: 5
Low-income young adults disproportionately experience traumatic injury and poor trauma outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the Affordable Care Act’s Medicaid expansion, in its first 4 years, on trauma care and outcomes in young adults, overall and by race, ethnicity, and ZIP code-level median income.
Categories: Latest Headlines, SurgeryTweet-
The ACA Medicaid expansion has increased coverage and rehab access among young adult trauma patients, and reduced racial and socioeconomic disparities in rehab access. https://t.co/VT4zKqe8qs #VisualAbstract #SoMe4Surgery @GMetzgerMD @BeingDrDeena @KateDeansMD https://t.co/RWhXtvylqy

Mashup Score: 3
Older patients with frailty syndrome have a greater risk of poor postoperative outcomes. In this study, we used a RE-AIM (reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance) framework to implement an assessment tool to identify frail patients and targeted interventions to improve their outcomes.

Mashup Score: 4Glucose Tolerance after Pancreatectomy: A Prospective Observational Follow-Up Study of Pancreaticoduodenectomy and Distal Pancreatectomy - 2 year(s) ago
Effects of pancreatectomy on glucose tolerance have not been clarified, and evidence regarding the difference in postoperative glucose tolerance between pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and distal pancreatectomy (DP) is lacking.
Categories: Latest Headlines, SurgeryTweet-
Glucose tolerance showed improvement after pancreaticoduodenectomy, and worsened after distal pancreatectomy. Insulin secretion decreased after both procedures. Insulin resistance improved after only pancreaticoduodenectomy. https://t.co/9ngVIqr1VR #VisualAbstract #SoMe4Surgery https://t.co/1B39XI8Ysc

The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to evaluate the overall survival (OS) data of patients diagnosed with de novo stage IV breast cancer (BC) who received locoregional treatment (LRT) over a 10-year follow-up.
Categories: Latest Headlines, SurgeryTweet-
Long-term results show that surgery to primary tumor at the time of diagnosis prolongs survival in metastatic breast cancer. https://t.co/03YCTSEaBx #VisualAbstract #SoMe4Surgery https://t.co/H8etovokxM

Mashup Score: 0Long-Term Quality of Life after Minimally Invasive vs Open Distal Pancreatectomy in the LEOPARD Randomized Trial - 2 year(s) ago
Minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy (MIDP) shortens time to functional recovery and improves 30-day quality of life (QoL), as compared with open distal pancreatectomy (ODP) for nonmalignant disease. The impact of MIDP on QoL, cosmetic satisfaction, and overall major complications beyond 1-year follow-up is currently unknown.

Patients that received minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy experience improved cosmetic satisfaction as compared with open distal pancreatectomy. https://t.co/VNDH4wcBYu #VisualAbstract #SoMe4Surgery https://t.co/SmU5yciRHb

Mashup Score: 0US Medical Licensing Exam Performance and American Board of Surgery Qualifying and Certifying Examinations - 2 year(s) ago
Program directors use US Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE) scores as criteria for ranking applicants. First-time pass rates of the American Board of Surgery (ABS) Qualifying (QE) and Certifying (CE) Examinations have become important measures of residency program quality. USMLE Step 1 will become pass/fail in 2022.
Categories: Latest Headlines, SurgeryTweet-
Performance on the USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK were associated with passing the ABS Qualifying and Certifying Examination. https://t.co/mRZ17zlSVD #VisualAbstract #SoMe4Surgery @steven_stain @JBMatthews @herbchen @ataashar #AuthorVideo: https://t.co/sH4QLasZIT https://t.co/99Ltq80uCw

Mashup Score: 3Reducing Operating Room Cost: Comparing Attending and Surgical Trainee Perceptions About the Implementation of Supply Receipts - 2 year(s) ago
As operating room (OR) expenditures increase, faculty and surgical trainees will play a key role in curbing future costs. However, supply cost utilization varies widely among providers and, despite requirements for cost education during surgical training, little is known about trainees’ comfort discussing these topics. To improve OR cost transparency, our institution began delivering real-time…
Categories: Latest Headlines, SurgeryTweet-
The implementation of OR supply receipts led to a push for cost sustainable practices. A greater emphasis on cost reduction strategies in curricula and in the practices of our institution is needed. https://t.co/4CyZH61wrw #VisualAbstract #SoMe4Surgery @WashUSurgery @EckhouseMD https://t.co/sV9wGe4v0k

Mashup Score: 0Crisis Containment: Tools for Harm Mitigation in Surgery - 2 year(s) ago
Surgical crises represent unrecognized opportunities for improving patient safety and adding value in healthcare. The first step in a crisis response is to contain and mitigate harm. While the principles of damage control are well established in surgery, methods of containing harm on broader clinical and organizational levels are not clearly defined.
Categories: Latest Headlines, SurgeryTweet-
This study provides tools and strategies that can manage harm and stabilize safety-critical situations. https://t.co/6Yy6KvvMMW #VisualAbstract #SoMe4Surgery @PGogalniceanu @NizamMamode @NickSevdalis @KessarisN @NikolaosKarydis https://t.co/QTdzQ6EFN8

Mashup Score: 1Novel Computer-Aided Diagnosis Software for the Prevention of Retained Surgical Items - 2 year(s) ago
Retained surgical items are a serious human error. Surgical sponges account for 70% of retained surgical items. To prevent retained surgical sponges, it is important to establish a system that can identify errors and avoid the occurrence of adverse events. To date, no computer-aided diagnosis software specialized for detecting retained surgical sponges has been reported. We developed a software…
Categories: Latest Headlines, SurgeryTweet-
By using the software developed in this study, it is considered that the retained surgical items in the body can be effectively prevented. https://t.co/ePCi3C8JLY #VisualAbstract #SoMe4Surgery https://t.co/qjbX9h8FEe
