Objectives: To determine the predictive value of social determinants of health (SDoH) variables on 30-day readmission following a sepsis hospitalization as compared with traditional clinical variables.
Design: Multicenter retrospective cohort study using patient-level data, including demographic, clinical, and survey data.
Settings: Thirty-five hospitals across the United States from 2017 to 2021.
Background: Deep brain stimulation is a common treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD). Despite strong efficacy in well-selected patients, complications can occur. Intraoperative micro-electrode recording (MER) can enhance efficacy by improving lead accuracy.

To quantify this morphological development, it is necessary to extract the interface between gray matter and white matter, which is particularly challenging due to changing tissue contrast during brain maturation. We employed the well-established CIVET pipeline to extract this cortical surface, with point correspondence across subjects, using a surface-based spherical registration.
