The health of a population depends upon several factors, including disease, public health initiatives, and the social determinants of health (SDH). These factors often converge in the emergency department (ED) where the impact of social conditions such as homelessness, low-literacy, and poverty lead to recidivism and may contribute to provider burnout. Inclusion of SDH topics in EM residency curricula can provide needed background information and effective strategies for coping with these patients in the clinical setting. Exercises that simulate poverty, the development of and familiarity with meaningful community partnerships, and inclusion of SDH topics in standard ED conferences (e.g., mortality and morbidity conference) can promote understanding and outline a detailed plan for treating patients facing these challenges. By incorporating educational interventions aimed at identifying and intervening on issues of SDH in the ED we may be able to better serve those patients who need us the most.

Neonates with congenital heart disease (CHD) who undergo cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are at high-risk for unfavorable neurodevelopmental (ND) outcomes and are recommended for ND evaluation (NDE); however, poor rates have been reported. We aimed to identify risk factors associated with lack of NDE. This single-center retrospective observational study included neonates < 30 days old who underwent CPB and survived to discharge between 2012 and 2018.

Aims/hypothesis: Eating disorders are over-represented in type 1 diabetes and are associated with an increased risk of complications, but it is unclear whether type 1 diabetes affects the treatment of eating disorders. We assessed incidence and treatment of eating disorders in a nationwide sample of individuals with type 1 diabetes and diabetes-free control individuals.
Methods: Our study comprised 11,055 individuals aged <30 who had been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1998-2010, and 11,055 diabetes-free control individuals matched for age, sex and hospital district.
