Evaluation of Research Productivity among Academic Glaucoma Specialists Using the Relative Citation Ratio.

Purpose: To provide relative citation ratio (RCR) benchmark data for the field of glaucoma.

Design: Cross-sectional bibliometric analysis.

Subjects: Fellowship-trained glaucoma faculty at Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited institutions.

Evaluation of Research Productivity Among Academic Cornea, External Diseases, and Refractive Surgery Ophthalmologists Using the Relative Citation Ratio.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to provide relative citation ratio (RCR) benchmark data for cornea and external diseases specialists.

Design: This is a cross-sectional bibliometric analysis.

Subjects: Subjects included were fellowship-trained cornea and external diseases faculty at Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited institutions in the United States.

Mismatched Postsurgical Opioid Prescription to Liver Transplant Patients: A Retrospective Cohort Study From a Single High-volume Transplant Center.

Background: Improper opioid prescription after surgery is a well-documented iatrogenic contributor to the current opioid epidemic in North America. In fact, opioids are known to be overprescribed to liver transplant patients, and liver transplant patients with high doses or prolonged postsurgical opioid use have higher risks of graft failure and death.

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of 552 opioid-naive patients undergoing liver transplant at an academic center between 2012 and 2019.

The Association of Nutrition and Exercise Behaviors of Women with Diabetes in Pregnancy with Infant Breastfeeding Practices.

Although breastfeeding confers significant benefits to infants, women with diabetes in pregnancy experience unique nutrition and health challenges, which may influence infant feeding practice. This study aimed to determine the association between nutrition and exercise behaviors of women with diabetes in pregnancy and breastfeeding at birth and 6 months. A secondary data analysis of a longitudinal study on maternal pregestational diabetes mellitus (DM) and gestational diabetes (GDM) and infant development was conducted.

Mismatched opioid prescription in patients discharged after neurological surgeries: a retrospective cohort study.

Although postsurgical overprescription has been well-studied, postsurgical opioid underprescription remains largely overlooked. This retrospective cohort study was to investigate the extent of discharge opioid overprescription and underprescription in patients after neurological surgeries. Six thousand nine hundred forty-nine adult opioid-naive patients who underwent inpatient neurosurgical procedures at the University of California San Francisco were included.

Discharge Opioid Over- and Underprescription to Patients after General Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: Although postoperative opioid overprescription has been well studied, little is known about opioid underprescription. This study aims to determine the extent of improper discharge opioid prescription in patients undergoing general surgery procedures.

Study Design: This retrospective cohort study investigated opioid-naïve adult patients who underwent inpatient general surgery at an academic medical center between June 2012 and December 2019.

Cutaneous angiosarcoma: A review of current evidence for treatment with checkpoint inhibitors.

Cutaneous angiosarcoma (cAS) is a rare and aggressive subtype of soft tissue sarcoma with poor prognosis and suboptimal treatment options. Clinical presentation is variable, but cAS often arises from the head and neck. The most widely accepted current approach, surgical excision with adjuvant radiotherapy, is associated with high recurrence rates and can leave patients with profound disfigurement.

A systematic review of GWAS identified SNPs associated with outcomes of medications for opioid use disorder.

Background: Patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) display an interindividual variability in their response to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). A genetic basis may explain the variability in this response. However, no consensus has been reached regarding which genetic variants significantly contribute to MOUD outcomes.

GWAS-identified genetic variants associated with medication-assisted treatment outcomes in patients with opioid use disorder: a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol.

Background: The burden of opioid use disorder (OUD) has been increasing in North America. Administration of medication-assisted treatments (MATs) for OUD on an individual-dose basis has been shown to affect patient responses to treatment, proving to be, on occasion, dangerous. A genetic basis has been identified for some MAT responses in a candidate gene context, but consensus has not been reached for any genome-wide significant associations.
