Background: Patient-initiated or "before medically advised" (BMA) hospital discharge is more common among people who use drugs. Transitions of care can be destabilizing and might increase the risk of subsequent illicit drug overdose.
Objectives: This study sought to evaluate whether BMA discharge is associated with an increased risk of subsequent drug overdose (primary objective) and whether physician-advised discharge is associated with an increased risk of subsequent drug overdose (secondary objective).
Background: Patient-physician sex discordance (when patient sex does not match physician sex) has been associated with reduced clinical rapport and adverse outcomes including post-operative mortality and unplanned hospital readmission. It remains unknown whether patient-physician sex discordance is associated with "before medically advised" hospital discharge (BMA discharge; commonly known as discharge "against medical advice").
Objective: To evaluate whether patient-physician sex discordance is associated with BMA discharge.
Background: Safer drinking strategies (SDS) reduce alcohol-related harms in outpatient settings. Little is known about SDS among hospitalized patients.
Objective: Evaluate SDS among hospitalized patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and assess for association with past-year acute-care utilization.
Objectives: To assess the effects of Krackow suture technique on the vascularity of the patellar tendon.
Methods: Six fresh-frozen matched pair cadaveric knee specimens were used. The superficial femoral arteries were cannulated in all knees.
