Palliative care utilization, transfusion burden, and end-of-life care for patients with multiple myeloma.

Introduction: Despite treatment advances, multiple myeloma (MM) remains a significant source of morbidity and mortality. We aimed to examine specialist palliative care (SPC) involvement and end-of-life care for patients with MM.

Reduction in medical emergency team activation among postoperative surgical patients at risk for undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea.

Study Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an under-recognized condition that results in morbidity and mortality. Postoperative complications, including medical emergency team activation (META), are disproportionally increased among surgical patients at risk for OSA. A systematic approach is needed to improve provider recognition and treatment, but protocols that demonstrate improvement in META are lacking.
