Objectives/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to compare timing of procedure, patient characteristics, outcomes, and charges for patients who underwent percutaneous versus surgical tracheostomy.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed for all patients who underwent tracheostomy in 2015 to 2016 in New York State. Patients were identified using International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification codes and stratified to the type of tracheostomy performed. The primary outcome of interest was mortality at index stay. Secondary outcomes of interest included length of stay and total hospitalization charges.
Results: Of the 8,682 patients, 2,488 (28.7%) underwent percutaneous and 6,194 (71.3%) underwent surgical tracheostomy. At hospitals where both procedures were performed, percutaneous tracheostomy patients were older, had more comorbidities, and had lower income (P < .05). Timing of the tracheostomy relative to admission did not affect the type of tracheostomy performed. While controlling for patient characteristics and complications during the visit, percutaneous tracheostomy was associated with increased mortality (odds ratio [OR]: 1.17, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03-1.33, P = .0153) and increased hospital charges (OR: + 7.76%, 95% CI: 5.4-10.11, P < .0001). Length of stay was not affected by procedure type.
Conclusions: Surgical tracheostomies are more commonly performed than percutaneous tracheostomies across New York State. Older, lower-income, and sicker patients have a higher chance of receiving percutaneous tracheostomies. Percutaneous approaches were associated with statistically significant increased mortality and higher charges despite no difference in length of stay. Further studies are needed to determine if these differences in outcomes are clinically significant.

Impact of Cement Distribution on the Efficacy of Percutaneous Vertebral Augmentation for Osteoporotic Fractures: Assessment with an MRI-Based Reference Marker.
J Bone Joint Surg Am
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedics, BenQ Medical Center, The Affiliated BenQ Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, People's Republic of China.
Background: No studies have evaluated the impact of the cement distribution as classified on the basis of the fracture bone marrow edema area (FBMEA) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on the efficacy of percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) for acute osteoporotic vertebral fractures.
Methods: The clinical data of patients with acute, painful, single-level thoracolumbar osteoporotic fractures were retrospectively analyzed. The bone cement distribution on the postoperative radiograph was divided into 4 types according to the distribution of the FBMEA on the preoperative MRI.
Double kissing crush versus culotte for bifurcation percutaneous coronary interventions: insights from the PROGRESS-BIFURCATION registry.

Background: Upfront 2-stent techniques are often used in bifurcation percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), but there is controversy about optimal strategy selection.
Methods: The authors examined the clinical and angiographic characteristics and long-term outcomes of 232 bifurcation PCIs that were performed using the double kissing (DK) crush or culotte technique in 216 patients between 2014 and 2023 using data from the Prospective Global Registry for the Study of Bifurcation Lesion Interventions (NCT05100992). The inverse probability of treatment weighted (IPTW) Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess long-term outcomes.
Background: Pediatric ultrasound (US)-guided percutaneous liver biopsy is a commonly performed procedure in children, and may be performed in a variety of clinical settings. However, there is little research on the relative costs associated with different sedation methods and locations.
Objective: This study uses time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC) to identify relevant costs associated with different biopsy sedation techniques and locations to help inform providers and patients as well as guide value-conscious care.
Stent insertion for malignant hilar obstruction: a meta-analysis of percutaneous versus endoscopic approaches.
Prz Gastroenterol

Department of Radiology, Xuzhou Central Hospital, Xuzhou, China.
Introduction: In an effort to treat patients with malignant hilar obstruction (MHO), both percutaneous trans-hepatic biliary stenting (PTBS) and endoscopic biliary stenting (EBS) strategies have been implemented in the clinic, but the relative advantages of these techniques remain to be clarified.
Aim: This meta-analysis was designed to compare the relative clinical efficacy of PTBS and EBS in MHO patients.Material and methods: Relevant studies were identified through searches of the PubMed, Web of science, and Wanfang databases, and pooled analyses of these studies were then performed.
