Article Synopsis
- Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) is a condition affecting infants due to in-utero exposure to substances, particularly opioids, and can cause long-term developmental issues; interdisciplinary teams can help mitigate these effects but often lack adequate training and support.* -
- Project SCOPE aimed to enhance the capabilities of providers working with NAS-affected families by training 14 sites in the ECHO model and SCOPE curriculum, which they implemented over 2019-2022, reaching about 9,392 individuals in 33 states.* -
- Analysis of participant surveys revealed high satisfaction (96.4%) with the sessions, significant gains in knowledge and skills related to NAS, and increased motivation to work with affected populations; nearly
Background: Potential lung transplantation (LTx) recipients are assigned a donor sequence number (DSN) based on their position on the match list. Since a higher DSN offer has already been declined for other recipients, some providers may assume that a high DSN connotates poorer allograft quality. This study evaluated the association between DSN and outcomes, the correlation between transplant program case volume and the utilization of higher DSN lungs, and whether LTx outcomes differ between lower- and higher-volume programs.

Background: Thoracic surgery program directors (PDs) are key mentors for the next generation of cardiothoracic surgeons and surgeon-scientists. This study evaluates the industry payments to PDs compared to other practicing thoracic surgeons, with the aim of assessing potential conflicts of interest and their influence.
Methods: PDs were identified using the Electronic Residency Application System (ERAS) and their National Provider Identifiers (NPIs).
Background: In January 2014, states expanded Medicaid access under the Affordable Care Act. We studied the financial implications of this policy on lung transplantation, a costly procedure.
Methods: Lung transplant (LT) hospitalizations were identified within the National Inpatient Sample (2005-2020).
