Purpose: Oncology treatment pathways provide decision support and encourage guideline adherence. Pathway data combined with electronic health record (EHR) data can identify patient populations with poor prognoses, low serious illness conversation (SIC) rates, and high acute care utilization that may benefit from targeted interventions.
Patients And Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis among adults with cancer treated at seven affiliated sites of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) who had navigations within 21 treatment pathways between July 29, 2019, and March 8, 2023.
Introduction: This study was designed to quantify the important anatomical landmarks and the path of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) within the human mandibular body and ramus, in particular with reference to the bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO).
Materials And Methods: Four hundred and eleven CT scans were studied, 299 of these were involved in determining the position of lingula; and 230 were involved in determining the course of IAN in the mandibular molar region, namely from the mesial of the mandibular first molar to the distal of the mandibular second molar; 118 were involved with both measurements.
Results: On average, the lingula was located 17.
Background: No previous published Australian study on the epidemiology of mandibular fractures has comprehensively shown the differences existing between indigenous and nonindigenous populations. Cairns Base Hospital, which services both the metropolitan city of Cairns and remote regions of Far North Queensland, provides the perfect environment for investigating such differences.
Methods: A retrospective study of all patients presenting to Cairns Base Hospital with mandibular fractures over the 3-year period between January 1999 and January 2002 was undertaken.
