Methods: We looked at the National Inpatient Sample database in 2019.
Study Design: Retrospective Chart Review.
Objectives: Outpatient spinal surgeries in Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) have gained traction due to their potential cost efficiencies and improved perioperative processes. This study aims to compare the cost-effectiveness and patient outcomes of lumbar laminectomies performed in hospital settings vs ASCs.
Objective: This study investigated the prevalence of probable alcohol use disorder (AUD), drug use disorders (DUDs), and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among psychology doctoral students. Additionally, it explored the unique relationships between risk factors (lifetime trauma, recent stressful experiences, COVID-19-related stress, general stress, financial stress) and AUD, DUD, and PTSD while accounting for demographic factors.
Method: The sample included 889 clinical and counseling psychology doctoral students, and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, Screen of Drug Use, and Primary Care PTSD Screen for (5th ed.
