Analysis of 30-day hospital readmissions and related risk factors for COVID-19 patients with myocarditis hospitalized in the United States during 2020.

Background: Despite extensive research on COVID-19 and its association with myocarditis, limited data are available on readmission rates for this subset of patients. Thirty-day hospital readmission rate is an established quality metric that is associated with increased mortality and cost.

Methods: This retrospective analysis utilized the Nationwide Readmission Database for the year 2020 to evaluate 30-day hospital readmission rates, risk factors, and clinical outcomes among COVID-19 patients who presented with myocarditis at their index hospitalization.

Impact of Housing Status on Surgical Management and Inpatient Outcomes of Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia in the United States.

Background: Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) represents the most severe form of peripheral artery disease. While previous studies have focused on gender and racial disparities, there is lack of evidence regarding the impact of housing status. The aim of this analysis was to identify disparities in inpatient management and outcomes of CLTI based on housing status.

See one, do one, teach one - Trends in resident autonomy and teaching assistant cases during general surgery residency in the United States: A nationwide retrospective analysis.

Introduction: Autonomy during residency is crucial to the training and development of competent surgeons. An essential component of this process is the 'teaching assistant (TA)' case, an indispensable opportunity for residents to gain confidence and hone intraoperative skills. However, high-quality data on the volume and diversity of cases that graduates perform are scarce.

Cardiac Arrest Mortality and Disposition Patterns in United States Emergency Departments.

: Despite resuscitative efforts, cardiac arrest (CA) continues to result in high mortality and poor prognosis. However, a gap remains in understanding the comparative outcomes of efforts in emergency departments (ED) over recent years. This study evaluated patients with CA during ED visits, with a particular focus on outcomes of mortality and transition of care.

Emerging trends and demographic disparities in anal cancer mortality across the United States census regions: An analysis of National Center for Health Statistics mortality data.

Aims: Anal cancer, despite its rarity, is a matter of serious concern in the United States, with an uptrend in recent years and marked racial disparities in mortality rates. The aim of this work was to investigate anal cancer mortality trends and sex race disparities in the United States from 1999 to 2020.

Method: This is a retrospective study using data from the CDC WONDER database (1999-2020).
