Aspirin is Not for Everyone: Discharge to Non-home Facilities After Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty Increases Risk of Venous Thromboembolism.

Background: Patients discharged to non-home facilities (NHD) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee (TKA) arthroplasty experience higher rates of adverse events and may require more aggressive venous thromboembolism (VTE) chemoprophylaxis. Our aim was to compare the rates of VTE in NHD patients and those discharged home (HD) after THA/TKA. Our secondary aim was to determine VTE rates within HD and NHD groups when stratified by chemoprophylactic regimen.

Adherence to Screening Among American Indian Women Accessing a Mobile Mammography Unit.

Rationale And Objectives: Although screening mammography is essential to reducing breast cancer morbidity and mortality, barriers exist especially among underrepresented minority groups. There are few studies of mammogram screening among American Indian women, many of whom reside in rural areas where screening access is challenging. A mobile mammography unit served 24 Indian Health Service clinics during 2013-17.
