Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze how negative social and behavioral factors (SBDH) affect health care usage among heart failure patients at a safety-net community hospital.
- Out of 4,594 heart failure patients analyzed, 21% faced at least one adverse social or behavioral determinant, with a notable demographic skew towards younger Black males on Medicaid.
- Those with adverse SBDH experienced higher rates of hospitalizations and emergency department visits, indicating that these factors are linked to increased healthcare usage and serve as independent predictors for hospital readmissions.
Introduction: An arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) can influence flow states. We sought to evaluate if assessment of aortic stenosis (AS) by transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) differs in the presence of AVF compared to other dialysis accesses in patients on dialysis.
Methods: We identified consecutive ESKD patients on dialysis and concomitant AS from a single center between January 2000 and March 2021.
Introduction and Objectives Statin use for primary prevention of coronary artery disease (CAD) has historically been limited in patients with chronic liver disease due to concerns for increased adverse events with statin use in this population. We aimed to quantify the underutilization of statins among individuals with a history of HCV infection in a community health system to understand the clinical implications of statin underutilization in a diverse, generalizable population of patients infected with HCV. Materials and Methods We performed a single-center retrospective study of individuals with a history of HCV infection aged 40-75 years from 2019-2021.

- During the COVID-19 pandemic, a health organization analyzed the gaps in telemedicine delivery among patients of color and those with limited English proficiency to prevent worsening health disparities.
- Using Lean problem-solving strategies, they identified and implemented changes across community engagement, technology, education, and access to promote equity in telemedicine use.
- The results showed a notable increase in telemedicine usage among Hispanic patients and Spanish speakers, while preferences shifted from telephone to video encounters over time, indicating progress in addressing inequities in healthcare delivery.
Aim: This study aimed to describe the prevalence of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI) on head CT (HCT) obtained within two hours of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) care in the Emergency Department following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and evaluate the association between early HIBI and neurologic outcome.
Methods: Retrospective single center observational study of post-OHCA patients between 2009 and 2017. Two cohorts were analyzed: those who underwent non-contrast HCT within two hours of ROSC and all others who survived to ICU admission.
