Article Synopsis
- The study updates trends in physician volume and payments for enteric tube procedures among Medicare beneficiaries from 2010 to 2018, focusing on different methods, specialties, and practice settings.
- During the study period, total enteric tube placements decreased by 32.2%, with endoscopic placements seeing a significant decline, while fluoroscopic placements increased, mainly performed by interventional radiologists.
- The findings indicate a shift in medical attitudes towards enteric tube placements, particularly in end-of-life care scenarios, reflecting a decrease in gastroenterologist involvement and a rise in the participation of advanced practice providers.
Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) in pregnancy.
Materials And Methods: PCN tubes were placed during 52 pregnancies in 49 patients from 2008 to 2018. The medical records during pregnancies were retrospectively reviewed for imaging findings, procedural parameters, outcomes of delivery, and complications.
The Michigan Appropriateness Guide for Intravenous Catheters (MAGIC) was published in 2015, recommending more restricted indications for peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) placement, particularly for those placed by physicians. Changes in PICC placement volume since the publication of MAGIC is largely unknown. The purpose of this article was to study the trends in volume and reimbursement for PICC placement by physicians and advanced practice providers (APPs) for Medicare enrollees from 2010 to 2018 with specific attention to the changes in volume after the publication of MAGIC in 2015.

Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of three graduating classes of radiology residents from a single residency program between the years 2015-2017. The total number of studies interpreted by each resident during residency was tracked.
