Objective: This study aimed to describe the characteristics of callers to a statewide mental health crisis line who were transferred to 911 (active rescue).
Methods: This retrospective cohort study examined mental health crisis line calls transferred to active rescue (N=3,538 calls; N=3,132 unique callers) from the Georgia Crisis and Access Line (2016-2018). Chi-square analyses and t tests were used to examine descriptive differences between caller characteristics and call features.

The rapid transition to virtual services during the COVID-19 pandemic allowed for a unique opportunity to examine how the transition to virtual mental health care impacted psychotherapy disruption (i.e.

It is important to identify both modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors that can be evaluated and possibly optimized prior to elective surgery. This case-control study was designed to study risk factors for not achieving the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Function 4-item Short Form (PROMIS PF) score.

Methods: This retrospective study used electronic health record and insurance claims data from three U.S.
Article Synopsis
- The All of Us Research Program aims to understand opioid use by analyzing data from a diverse group of over 214,000 participants, linking survey responses and electronic health records.
- The study found that lifetime opioid use prevalence was 4% for street opioids and 9% for nonmedical prescription opioids, with men more likely to have used opioids, while foreign-born individuals showed reduced risks.
- The findings will help track national trends in opioid prescription, usage, and opioid use disorders (OUD) over time, particularly among underrepresented groups, contributing valuable insights to the ongoing opioid crisis.
Objective: To review the Michigan Spine Surgery Improvement Collaborative registry to investigate the long-term associations between current smoking status and outcomes after elective cervical and lumbar spine surgery.
Methods: Using the Michigan Spine Surgery Improvement Collaborative, we captured all cases from January 1, 2017, to November 21, 2020, with outcomes data available; 19,251 lumbar cases and 7936 cervical cases were included. Multivariate regression analyses were performed to assess the relationship of smoking with the clinical outcomes.
Objective: This study was designed to assess how postoperative opioid prescription dosage could affect patient-reported outcomes after elective spine surgery.
Methods: Patients enrolled in the Michigan Spine Surgery Improvement Collaborative (MSSIC) from January 2020 to September 2021 were included in this study. Opioid prescriptions at discharge were converted to total morphine milligram equivalents (MME).
Study Design: This is a retrospective, cohort analysis of multi-institutional database.
Objective: This study was designed to analyze the impact of drain use following elective anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgeries.
Summary Of Background Data: After ACDF, a drain is often placed to prevent postoperative hematoma.
Background: Preoperative hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a useful screening tool since a significant portion of diabetic patients in the United States are undiagnosed and the prevalence of diabetes continues to increase. However, there is a paucity of literature analyzing comprehensive association between HbA1c and postoperative outcome in lumbar spine surgery.
Objective: To assess the prognostic value of preoperative HbA1c > 8% in patients undergoing elective lumbar spine surgery.
