Comparison of Pediatric and Adult Firearm Deaths to Inform Violence Prevention at Pediatric Trauma Centers.
J Surg Res
January 2025
Department of Pediatric Surgery, University of Texas Medical Branch Galveston, Galveston, Texas. Electronic address:
Introduction: Hospital-based violence intervention programs primarily target adults, raising questions about the effectiveness in preventing pediatric firearm deaths. We hypothesized that pediatric and adult firearm injury deaths are different enough to require unique intervention strategies.
Methods: Retrospective chart review was conducted of medical examiner and trauma center records of firearm-related deaths in the largest metropolitan county in Texas.
Is Intracranial Pressure Monitoring After Open Cranial Procedures Associated With Outcome?
J Surg Res
January 2025
Division of Trauma and Critical Care, Department of Surgery, Reading Hospital, West Reading, Pennsylvania. Electronic address:
Introduction: It is unclear if intracranial pressure monitoring (ICPM) after open cranial procedures (craniotomy or craniectomy) (OC) for traumatic brain injury is associated with mortality. We hypothesized that ICPM placed early after OC was associated with lower mortality compared to no ICPM or delayed ICPM placement.
Methods: Using 2020-2021 data from the American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program, patients ≥16 y from level 1 and 2 trauma centers who underwent OC were divided into two groups: ICPM placed within 72 h of OC (early) and no ICPM or ICPM placed after 72 h (none/delayed).
Reducing Surgical Site Infections With Silver Impregnated Dressings in Lower Extremity Bypass Patients.
J Surg Res
January 2025
Department of Surgery, Albany Medical Center, Albany, New York; Division of Vascular Surgery, Albany Medical Center, Albany, New York.
Introduction: Surgical site infection (SSI) after lower extremity (LE) bypass surgery is associated with longer length of stay, higher hospital cost, increased morbidity, and even graft loss. Silver impregnated dressings have been used by other surgical subspecialties to decrease SSI with reported success. The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) published a national expected rate of 7.

J Surg Res
January 2025
Department of Surgery, The University of Melbourne, Parkville, Australia; Department of Neurosurgery, The Royal Melbourne Hospital, Parkville, VIC, Australia.
Introduction: Assessing gender disparity in surgical trainees' operative opportunities and experience quantifies implicit gender bias and reflects a summation of many smaller biased interactions within the operating room environment. Highlighting gender disparity in surgery informs a platform for advocacy.
Methods: A systematic literature search was performed using Medline, Web of Science, OpenMD and Science Direct consistent with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Metanalysis guidelines.
Disparities in Rehabilitation Services for Victims of Violence.
J Surg Res
January 2025
Department of Surgery, Boston Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts; Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts.
Introduction: Access to rehabilitation services after a traumatic injury improves functional outcomes. No study has examined the association between injury intent, violent versus nonviolent, and receipt of rehabilitation services after injury.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of injured adult patients admitted to our level I trauma center from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2021.
