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).
The Gender Disparity in Operative Opportunities for Trainee Surgeons: A Review.
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.
Community responses to a novel house design: A qualitative study of "Star Homes" in Mtwara, southeastern Tanzania.
PLoS One
January 2025
Amsterdam University Medical Centres, University of Amsterdam, Department of Global Health, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Introduction: To evaluate the impact of a novel design "Star Home" on the incidence of malaria, respiratory tract infections and diarrheal diseases among children, randomly selected households in Mtwara, Tanzania were offered a free, new Star Home. Drawing on longitudinal qualitative research that accompanied the Star Homes study, this article describes the experiences of residents and the wider community of living with these buildings.
Methods: A total of four rounds of face-to-face interviews were undertaken with residents of Star Homes (n = 37), control (wattle/daub) homes (n = 21), neighboring households n = 6), community members (n = 17) and community leaders (n = 6).
