Unmasking Fracture Risk in Type 2 Diabetes: The Association of Longitudinal Glycemic Hemoglobin Level and Medications.
Link: https://doi.org/10.1210/clinem/dgab882 Authors: Wang, Bowen; Wang, Zehai; Poundarik, Atharva A; Zaki, Mohammed J; Bockman, Richard S; Glicksberg, Benjamin S; Nadkarni, Girish N; Vashishth, Deepak Abstract: Fracture risk is underestimated in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). To investigate the longitudinal relationship of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and common medications on fracture risk in people with T2D.…
Read MoreElbow Fracture-Dislocations: Determining Treatment Strategies.
Link: https://doi.org/S0749-0712(20)30095-0 Authors: Luchetti, Timothy J; Abbott, Emily E; Baratz, Mark E Abstract: Elbow dislocations represent common injuries. A quarter of these injuries involve at least 1 fracture. The sequel of elbow fracture-dislocations can be fraught with complications, including recurrent instability, posttraumatic arthritis, elbow contracture, and poor functional results. The 3 main patterns of injury…

Link: https://doi.org/10.1177/0003134820923337 Authors: DeMare, Alexander M; Luehmann, Natalie C; Kawak, Samer; Abbott, Emily E; Long, Jordan; Akay, Begum; Brahmamdam, Pavan; Iacco, Anthony A; Novotny, Nathan M Abstract: Surgeons can help reduce health care spending by selecting affordable and efficient instruments. The laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) is commonly performed and can serve as a model for improving…
Read MoreArtificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Perioperative Acute Kidney Injury.
Link: https://doi.org/S2949-8139(22)00001-5 Authors: Takkavatakarn, Kullaya; Hofer, Ira S Abstract: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication after a surgery, especially in cardiac and aortic procedures, and has a significant impact on morbidity and mortality. Early identification of high-risk patients and providing effective prevention and therapeutic approach are the main strategies for reducing the possibility…
Read MoreUnplanned 30-Day Readmission Rates for Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease: Insight from the Nationwide Readmissions Database.
Link: https://doi.org/10.1159/000526923 Authors: Saha, Aparna; Ericksen, Paulette; Liriano Cepin, Cristina; Nadkarni, Girish N; Chan, Lili Abstract: Among end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients on dialysis with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), relatively little is known about the epidemiology and risk factors for 30-day readmissions in the USA. Therefore, we evaluated the 30-day unplanned readmission rates…

Read MoreLaboratory Result Reference Ranges Stratified for Patient-Reported Sex and Ethnicity Are More Closely Associated With Postoperative Outcomes Than Currently Used Reference Ranges: A Retrospective Data Analysis.
Link: https://doi.org/10.1213/ANE.0000000000006229 Authors: Hofer, Ira S; Lee, Andrew; Grogan, Tristan; Lucero, Jennifer; Cannesson, Maxime Abstract: A single laboratory range for all individuals may fail to take into account underlying physiologic differences based on sex and genetic factors. We hypothesized that laboratory distributions differ based on self-reported sex and ethnicity and that ranges stratified by these…
Read MoreIntegration of feature vectors from raw laboratory, medication and procedure names improves the precision and recall of models to predict postoperative mortality and acute kidney injury.
Link: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-13879-7 Authors: Hofer, Ira S; Kupina, Marina; Laddaran, Lori; Halperin, Eran Abstract: Manuscripts that have successfully used machine learning (ML) to predict a variety of perioperative outcomes often use only a limited number of features selected by a clinician. We hypothesized that techniques leveraging a broad set of features for patient laboratory results, medications,…

Link: https://doi.org/10.2106/JBJS.21.01168 Authors: Hannon, Charles P; Sheehan, Kevin P; Duong, Stephanie Q; Yuan, Brandon J; Lewallen, David G; Berry, Daniel J; Abdel, Matthew P Abstract: Modular fluted tapered (MFT) stems have advanced treatment of Vancouver B2 and B3 periprosthetic femoral fractures, but series to date have been limited with respect to cohort size and follow-up…
Read MoreDoes Bariatric Surgery Prior to Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty Improve Outcomes?
Link: https://doi.org/S0883-5403(22)00199-1 Authors: Ryan, Sean P; Couch, Cory G; Duong, Stephanie Q; Taunton, Michael J; Lewallen, David G; Berry, Daniel J; Abdel, Matthew P Abstract: Recent advancements in bariatric surgical techniques have increased its utilization for the management of morbid obesity prior to total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We hypothesized that bariatric surgery prior to primary…
