Article Synopsis
- - This study examined factors affecting surgical residents' autonomy during robotic surgeries, focusing on data from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center between 2021-2023, particularly in pancreaticoduodenectomies, hernia repairs, and low anterior resections.
- - Results showed that male residents reported higher levels of autonomy and longer console times compared to female residents, with female residents having 74% lower odds of high resident autonomy.
- - The 2023 cohort experienced greater autonomy than earlier cohorts, and those aligned with specific fellowships had more console time, while no differences were found related to attending gender, hospital type, or underrepresented minority status.
Purpose: To compare the cost and outcomes of surgical and interventional radiology (IR) placement of totally implantable venous access devices (TIVADs) within a large regional health system to determine the service line with better outcomes and lower costs to the health system.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of all chest port placements performed in the operating room (OR) and IR suite over 12 months was conducted at a large, integrated health system with 6 major hospitals. Secondary electronic health record and cost data were used to identify TIVAD placements, follow-up procedures indicating port malfunction, early adverse events (within 1 month after the surgery), late adverse events (2-12 months after the procedure), and health system cost of TIVAD placement and management.
Introduction: Regionalization efforts aim to improve healthcare by designating specialty centers for a geographic area. Regionalization may play a role in determining patient treatment plans and outcomes. We hypothesize that these factors may be influenced by race, socioeconomics, insurance, and longitudinal follow-up.

Problem: Based on a specific community benefit analysis of Greenville, South Carolina, we identified the Dunean community with its increased prevalence of health inequities with respect to access to health care, poverty burden, and disease mortality on a county, state, and national level.
Purpose: Shared decision making (SDM) between patients and designated health professionals is recommended by several professional organizations prior to lung cancer screening by low dose CT (LDCT). This study seeks to identify factors, including characteristics of patients and referring clinicians, that influence LDCT screening completion following participation in SDM.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study consisted of n = 171 patients eligible for LDCT screening and who participated in SDM between 2016 and 2017 in one of two sites in Prisma Health, an academic health care delivery system in South Carolina.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess a 54-item instrument that measures perceptions of environmental contaminant exposure, focusing on five domains: home and hobby, school, community, occupation, and exposure history.
- Interviews were conducted with child-bearing-age minority women in Nashville, and data were analyzed using Support Vector Machine (SVM) modeling and logistic regression to explore the relationship between environmental exposure and respondents' ZIP code.
- The findings revealed that SVM modeling and traditional logistic regression yielded nearly identical rankings of important variables, marking the first evidence that SVM analysis can effectively analyze complex spatial relationships in environmental exposure questionnaires.
