Using a multi-institutional EMR registry, we extracted housing status and evaluated the presence of several important comorbidities in order to describe the demographics and comorbidity burden of persons experiencing homelessness in northeast Ohio and compare this to non-homeless individuals of varying socioeconomic position. Of 1,974,766 patients in the EMR registry, we identified 15,920 (0.8%) as homeless, 351,279 (17.8%) as non-homeless and in the top quintile of area deprivation index (ADI), and 1,607,567 (81.4%) as non-homeless and in the lower four quintiles of area deprivation. The comorbidity burden was highest in the homeless population with depression (48.1%), anxiety (45.8%), hypertension (44.2%), cardiovascular disease (18.4%), and hepatitis (18.1%) among the most prevalent conditions. We conclude that it is possible to identify homeless individuals and document their comorbidity burden using a multi-institutional EMR registry, in order to guide future interventions to address the health of the homeless at the health-system and community level.

Background: The ongoing opioid epidemic in the United States has reinforced the need to provide multimodal and non-opioid pain management interventions. The PAMI-ED ALT program employed a multifaceted approach in the Emergency Department (ED) developing electronic health record (EHR) pain management order panels and discharge panels, as well as educating patients, clinicians, and ED staff on opioid alternatives, including non-pharmacologic interventions. The primary objective of this analysis was to compare changes in opioid and non-opioid analgesic administrations and prescribing in ED patients with select pain conditions (renal colic, headache, low back, and non-low back musculoskeletal pain) before and after implementation of PAMI ED-ALT.

Background: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are often prescribed to manage corticosteroid-induced gastrointestinal toxicity during glioblastoma (GBM) treatment, but were recently identified as strong inducers of aldehyde dehydrogenase-1A1 (ALDH1A1). ALDH1A1 is a primary metabolic enzyme impacting the outcome of chemotherapy, including temozolomide. High expression of ALDH1A1 is associated with poor prognosis in multiple cancers, suggesting PPIs may have a negative impact on survival.

Orthogeriatric treatment, which involves a collaborative approach between orthopedic surgeons and geriatricians, is generally considered to be superior to standard care following hip fractures. The aim of this study was to investigate additional effects of a geriatrician-led multidisciplinary rehabilitation program. In this matched paired observational cohort study, patients aged 70 years and older with a proximal femur fracture requiring surgery were included.
