Background: Vascular complications during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are uncommon but potentially devastating. We evaluated cases of vascular complication during TKA in our high-volume, community hospital system.
Methods: Patients were identified by cross-referencing billing codes for TKA with diagnosis codes for vascular complication during the same hospital stay between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2014.
Objectives: (1) Assess pediatric primary care providers' understanding of cognitive rest for concussion and (2) describe their concussion management practices.
Methods: This study included (1) a survey of general pediatric providers and (2) an electronic medical record (EMR) review of children 5 to 18 years old treated for concussion from September 1, 2010, to May 31, 2011. The survey asked about treatment recommendations for concussion, and results were coded to identify cognitive rest recommendations.
