Promoting Organizational Change: A Urology Department-wide Wellness Program to Reduce Burnout.

Introduction: We developed a comprehensive wellness initiative to address burnout with specific interventions targeted at faculty, residents, nurses, administrators, coordinators, and other departmental personnel.

Methods: A department-wide wellness initiative was implemented in October 2020. General interventions included monthly holiday-themed lunches, weekly pizza lunches, employee recognition events, and initiation of a virtual networking board.

Evaluating Tools for Characterizing Anterior Urethral Stricture Disease: A Comparison of the LSE System and the Urethral Stricture Score.

Purpose: We evaluated if scores generated by the LSE classification system and the Urethral Stricture Score system are associated with intraoperative surgical complexity and stricture recurrence risk.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all consenting patients who underwent single-stage anterior urethroplasty by a single surgeon at 2 institutions. Urethral Stricture Score and a numerical LSE "score" was calculated for each patient.

"What's in a name?" Identification of newborn infants at birth using their given names.

Objective: To determine the proportion of pregnant women who selected names for their babies to be born and were willing to disclose them for use in hospital systems, thereby potentially reducing infant identification errors.

Study Design: Survey of pregnant women admitted to postpartum or antepartum units at a large academic hospital. Descriptive analyses were conducted to determine the proportion who had chosen names prior to delivery.

Hospital Ownership, Geographic Region, Patient Age, Comorbidities, and Insurance Status Appear to Influence Patient Selection Robot-Assisted Ureteral Reimplantation for Benign Disease: A Population-Based Analysis.

Robot-assisted ureteral reimplantation (RAUR) is a relatively new minimally invasive procedure. As such, research is lacking, and the largest adult cohort studies include fewer than 30 patients. Our aim was to be the first population-based study to report on national utilization trends, factors associated with patient selection, inpatient outcomes, and the relative cost of RAUR for adults with benign ureteral disease (BUD).

Biological sex impacts perioperative complications after reverse shoulder arthroplasty for proximal humeral fracture.

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in complication rates between males and females undergoing reverse shoulder arthroplasty for proximal humerus fractures. We hypothesized that (1) females were more likely to undergo reverse shoulder arthroplasty for fracture, and (2) males were more likely to sustain a perioperative complication.

Methods: The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried to identify patients who underwent reverse shoulder arthroplasty for proximal humerus fracture between 2011 and 2018.
