Blueprint for Building and Sustaining a Cardiogenic Shock Program: Qualitative Survey of 12 US Programs.

Background: Multidisciplinary cardiogenic shock (CS) programs have been associated with improved outcomes, yet practical guidance for developing a CS program is lacking.

Methods: A survey on CS program development and operational best practices was administered to 12 institutions in diverse sociogeographic regions and practice settings. Common steps in program development were identified.

Emerging Educational and Networking Platforms in Interventional Cardiology: Expanding Beyond Traditional Social Media.

With ubiquitous use of smartphones and other Internet-enabled devices, clinicians have access to a plethora of multimedia platforms that enable them to network, share educational content, and learn. Several platforms also enable resources that support clinical decision making. Traditional social media has been used extensively by cardiologists for several years and now extends to the entire care team including trainees, advanced practitioners, nurses and technologists.

Early Retinal Detachments Following Open Globe Repair: Incidence and Risk Factors.

Purpose: Risk factors for the development of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRDs) in the early postoperative period following open globe repair (OGR) are not well understood. RRDs are often diagnosed late after OGIs, which can negatively impact visual prognosis. We assessed the incidence and risk factors that predict the development of this complication.

Medication Refill Adherence in Patients with Chronic Inflammatory Eye Disease.

Purpose: To utilize pharmacy dispenses to investigate adherence rates to immunosuppressive therapy (IMT) for the treatment of noninfectious inflammatory eye disease (IED), impact of adherence on disease control, factors associated with nonadherence, and association between adherence in the medical record and pharmacy dispenses.

Method: Retrospective medical chart review was conducted on patients followed for at least 2 years in the uveitis clinic. Appointment and lab attendance, and provider documentation, determined adherence through the medical record.
