Speed kills? Quantifying the association between police traffic stops, types of stops, and motor vehicle collisions.

Background: Motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) are a leading cause of traumatic death and injury. Police traffic stops (PTS) are a common approach to enforcing motor vehicle laws intended to prevent MVCs. However, it is unclear which types of PTS are most effective.

Lymph Node Yield in Lung Cancer Resection is Associated With Demographic and Institutional Factors.

Introduction: Lymphadenectomy is routinely performed during surgical resection of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Lymph node yield and number of nodal stations sampled are important prognostic markers viewed as surrogates of surgical quality. The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with these quality metrics after resection of NSCLC.

Computational risk model for predicting 2-year malignancy of pulmonary nodules using demographic and radiographic characteristics.

Objectives: To determine whether discriminatory performance of a computational risk model in classifying pulmonary lesion malignancy using demographic, radiographic, and clinical characteristics is superior to the opinion of experienced providers. We hypothesized that computational risk models would outperform providers.

Methods: Outcome of malignancy was obtained from selected patients enrolled in the NAVIGATE trial (NCT02410837).
