Background: Musculoskeletal diseases are a major contributor to global human disability, but research in this area of medicine contends with chronic underfunding in the United States, receiving <2% of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) budget. The Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation (OREF) serves as a vital nongovernmental organization, providing essential support for orthopaedic research. This study investigated the translation of various OREF grants into successful extramural federal funding discerning the clinician demographics and OREF award characteristics associated with increased chances of securing federal grants.

- - The study investigates the rates of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total joint arthroplasty in patients using low-dose (81 mg) versus high-dose (325 mg) aspirin (ASA) for venous thromboembolism (VTE) prevention, with a focus on balancing antimicrobial effects and platelet function.
- - A retrospective analysis was performed on 15,825 patients from 2008 to 2020, identifying that those on high-dose ASA had a significantly higher PJI rate (0.35%) compared to those on low-dose ASA (0.10%), even when controlling for various demographic and surgical factors.
- - The findings suggest that low-dose ASA may provide a better balance between its anti
