Background: Enhanced recovery programs (ERPs) improve outcomes, but over 20 % of patients fail ERP and the contribution of social vulnerability is unknown. This study aimed to characterize the association between social vulnerability and ERP adherence and failure.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of colorectal surgery patients between 2015 and 2020 utilizing ACS-NSQIP data. Patients who failed ERP (LOS > 6 days) were compared to patients not failing ERP. The CDC's social vulnerability index (SVI) was used to assess social vulnerability.
Result: 273 of 1191 patients (22.9 %) failed ERP. SVI was a significant predictor of ERP failure (OR 4.6, 95 % CI 1.3-16.8) among those with >70 % ERP component adherence. SVI scores were significantly higher among patients non-adherent with 3 key ERP components: preoperative block (0.58 vs. 0.51, p < 0.01), early diet (0.57 vs. 0.52, p = 0.04) and early foley removal (0.55 vs. 0.50, p < 0.01).
Conclusions: Higher social vulnerability was associated with non-adherence to 3 key ERP components as well as ERP failure among those who were adherent with >70 % of ERP components. Social vulnerability needs to be recognized, addressed, and included in efforts to further improve ERPs.
Key Message: Social vulnerability is associated with non-adherence to enhanced recovery components and ERP failure among those with high ERP adherence. Social vulnerability needs to be addressed in efforts to improve ERPs.

Salivary cortisol and affective responses to acute psychosocial stress among adolescents.
Psychoneuroendocrinology

Background: Acute psychosocial stress activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and triggers the release of cortisol, a commonly used biomarker of stress reactivity. Yet only 25 % of studies have reported a correlation between cortisol and affective responses to stress. This study aimed to examine whether cortisol reactivity following an acute psychosocial stressor in the laboratory correlated with concurrent positive and negative affect in adolescents, and whether early life adversity (ELA) moderated this relationship.

Purpose: Previous research on pediatric motor vehicle collisions (MVC) and fatalities has primarily focused on patient demographics and crash specific information. This study evaluates whether various measures of local infrastructure, including the National Walk Index (NWI), population density, and public school density, or macroeconomic forces, encapsulated in Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) and food area deprivation (PFA) can predict which counties are most at risk for pediatric traffic fatalities.
Methods: Counties with more than 100,000 children in the most recent US census and ≥1 pediatric traffic fatality as identified in the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) between 2017 and 2021 were included in the study.

Article Synopsis
- The agricultural sector in Spain heavily depends on migrant workers, who face increased challenges with precarious conditions and vulnerability exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Organizations and local authorities implemented measures like temporary housing and mass testing to support these workers, but factors such as mobility and language barriers complicated compliance with health guidelines.
- The study highlights the need for improved intercultural competence in health professional training and inclusive health approaches to better address disparities and support migrant workers’ well-being.

Background: Stress is a common modifiable risk factor for AD, which increases dementia risk 2-fold. During the stress response, the hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis is activated which stimulates the release of stress hormones called glucocorticoids into the blood stream. Studies on early-life stress have shown a glucocorticoid dependent vulnerability towards late-life inflammation.
