Evidence-Based Opioid Education That Reduces Prescribing: The 10 Principles of Opioid Prescribing in Foot and Ankle Surgery.

Over half of opioid misusers last obtained access to opioids via a friend or relative, a problematic reflection of the opioid reservoir phenomenon, which results from an unused backlog of excess prescription opioids that are typically stored in the American home. We aim to determine if a voluntary educational intervention containing standard opioid and nonopioid analgesic prescribing ranges for common surgeries is effective in altering postoperative prescribing practice. We utilized a mixed methods approach and sent out a questionnaire to American podiatric physicians, including residents (baseline group A), via email in early 2020 for baseline data; then, we interviewed foot and ankle surgeons and the primary themes of these semistructured interviews informed us to target residents for an educational intervention.

American Podiatric Surgeons' Postoperative Multimodal Analgesic-Prescribing Practice: A 2019-2020 National Survey.

Background: Surgery is a common setting for opioid-naive patients to first be exposed to opioids. Understanding the multimodal analgesic-prescribing habits of podiatric surgeons in the United States may be helpful to refining prescribing protocols. The purpose of this benchmark study was to identify whether certain demographic characteristics of podiatric surgeons were associated with their postoperative multimodal analgesic-prescribing practices.

Prospective multicenter assessment of patient preferences for properties of gadolinium-based contrast media and their potential socioeconomic impact in a screening breast MRI setting.

Objective: It is unknown how patients prioritize gadolinium-based contrast media (GBCM) benefits (detection sensitivity) and risks (reactions, gadolinium retention, cost). The purpose of this study is to measure preferences for properties of GBCM in women at intermediate or high risk of breast cancer undergoing annual screening MRI.

Methods: An institutional reviewed board-approved prospective discrete choice conjoint survey was administered to patients at intermediate or high risk for breast cancer undergoing screening MRI at 4 institutions (July 2018-March 2020).

Provider Attitudes and Support of Patients' Autonomy for Phosphate Binder Medication Adherence in ESRD.

This cross-sectional study of 56 dialysis providers from 3 dialysis clinics examined providers' attitudes and perception of autonomy support for patients' medication adherence behaviors. Respondents completed surveys assessing attitudes and perception of autonomy support. Compared to all other provider types, physicians and nurse practitioners (MD/NP) thought it was "less true" that phosphate binder medications are very important for dialysis patients (MD/NP vs others: 5.

Lower Regional Pediatric In-hospital Mortality Albeit Racial/ethnic Disparities.

Purpose: Variability in pediatric morbidity and mortality tends to be influenced by several factors including though not limited to social determinants of health, namely health inequity as an exposure function of health disparities. We aimed to assess the cumulative incidence of pediatric mortality, racial/ethnic disparities, and the predisposing factors for the disparities.

Method: The current study retrospectively examined the Nemours/Alfred I.
