Identification of Core Interprofessional Preceptor Competencies and Development of a Preceptor Self-Assessment Tool.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine what activities and skills interprofessional health science preceptors (IHSPs) perform and value as a part of their pedagogical practice in order to support the development of a preceptor self-assessment tool and assist in preceptor training.

Methods: We administered an online survey to identify core preceptor activities across health sciences disciplines that interact with nursing. The initial survey items were developed based on the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) core competencies as well as a search of literature on expected preceptor competencies and activities across individual health sciences professions.

Integrating political prioritisation into national surgical planning: a scoping review of surgical, obstetric and anaesthesia care in Cameroon.

Background: Surgical diseases contribute substantially to death and disability in Cameroon. Strategic planning for surgical, obstetric and anaesthesia (SOA) care in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) requires consideration of the policy environment in addition to the issue severity. We aimed at the current landscape of SOA care in Cameroon, incorporating a framework for political prioritisation.

Lung parenchymal and pleural findings on computed tomography after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Introduction: Lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are common after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), but the imaging characteristics of lung parenchymal and pleural abnormalities in these patients have not been well-characterized. We aimed to describe the incidence of lung parenchymal and pleural findings among patients who had return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and who underwent computed tomography (CT) of the chest after OHCA.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study conducted at two academic hospitals from 2014 to 2019.

Enteral Resuscitation: A Field-Expedient Treatment Strategy for Burn Shock during Wartime and in Other Austere Settings.

Burn injuries are a constant threat in war. Aspects of the modern battlefield increase the risk of burn injuries and pose challenges for early treatment. The initial resuscitation of a severely burn-injured patient often exceeds the resources available in front-line medical facilities.

Student concussion symptoms and tailored accommodations during use of a return to learn program in 13 public high schools.

Background: Youth concussion is common but there is a paucity of information on symptoms students report to school personnel and a gap in understanding what accommodations schools can provide.

Objective: To examine symptoms and provision of temporary accommodations in schools for students reporting concussion symptoms.

Design: Secondary data analysis of a trial implementing an evidence-based student-centered return to learn (RTL) program.

Hand Burn Injuries and Occupational Impairment: A Study on the Impact of Burn Injuries on Return-to-Work Outcomes from the Burn Model System research program.

Return to work (RTW) after burn injury is dependent on many variables, including type and location of burn injury, access to care, and pre-injury mental and physical health. Noting that prior studies were limited by small sample sizes, we aimed to use a large database to explore the associations between hand burn severity, functional hand outcomes, and RTW post-injury. Data from a multicenter longitudinal study were analyzed.

Association between community distress and return to work after burn injury.

Introduction: Community-level disadvantage is associated with reduced quality of life after burn injury. We evaluated the association between community-level disadvantage and return to work after burn injury.

Methods: A multicenter burn injury database was queried from 1998-2021.

Exploring interaction effects of social determinants of health with hospital admission type on academic performance: a data linkage study.

Objective: To investigate the moderating effects of socio-demographic social determinants of health (SDH) in the relationship between types of childhood hospitalisation (ie, none, injury, non-injury, injury+non-injury) and academic performance.

Design, Setting And Patients: Children residing in Wales 2009-2016 (N=369 310). Secure Anonymised Information Linkage databank linked Tagged Electronic Cohort Cymru (five data sources) from the Wales Electronic Cohort for Children.

Person-focused interventions for fall risk assessment, fall prevention and fall injury prevention in long-term care facilities: a scoping review.

Objective: Falls are a significant concern in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) as fall-related injuries can result in functional impairment, disability and death. Older adults living in LTCFs are at greater risk for falls than those in the community. Using scoping review methodology, we aimed to synthesise evidence examining intervention effects of person-focused interventions for risk assessment and prevention in LTCFs in order to identify evidence-based practices in LTCFs.

Heritable Thrombophilia and Increased Risk for Venous Thromboembolism Despite Thromboprophylaxis After Pelvis or Acetabulum Fracture.

Objectives: Individuals with pelvic and acetabular fractures are at high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The purpose of this study was to determine whether serum markers for thrombophilia and rapid thromboelastography (r-TEG) values correlate with increased VTE risk among patients with pelvic and acetabular fractures.

Design: Prospective observational study.

Incidence of Myocardial Injury and Cardiac Dysfunction After Adult Traumatic Brain Injury: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Myocardial injury and cardiac dysfunction after traumatic brain injury (TBI) have been reported in observational studies, but there is no robust estimate of their incidences. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the pooled incidence of myocardial injury and cardiac dysfunction among adult patients with TBI. A literature search was conducted using MEDLINE and EMBASE databases from inception to November 2022.

Improving post-injury follow-up survey response: incorporating automated modalities.

Background: Incorporating post-discharge data into trauma registries would allow for better research on patient outcomes, including disparities in outcomes. This pilot study tested a follow-up data collection process to be incorporated into existing trauma care systems, prioritizing low-cost automated response modalities.

Methods: This investigation was part of a larger study that consisted of two protocols with two distinct cohorts of participants who experienced traumatic injury.

Geospatial analysis of injury severity on major roads in Ghana (2017-2020): implications for targeted injury prevention and control initiatives.

Background: Road safety authorities in high-income countries use geospatial motor vehicle collision data for planning hazard reduction and intervention targeting. However, low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) rarely conduct such geospatial analyses due to a lack of data. Since 1991, Ghana has maintained a database of all collisions and is uniquely positioned to lead data-informed road injury prevention and control initiatives.

A Randomized Controlled Trial of Home-Based Virtual Rehabilitation to Improve Adherence to Prescribed Home Therapy after Burn Injury: A Northwest Regional Burn Model System Trial.

Daily rehabilitation after burn injury is vital for prevention of function-limiting contractures. However, adherence to prescribed therapy following acute burn hospitalization has historically been low and not well-studied. Studies involving virtual reality technology have demonstrated an association with improved functional outcomes in burn therapy.

Identifying Variation in Intraoperative Management of Brain-Dead Organ Donors and Opportunities for Improvement: A Multicenter Perioperative Outcomes Group Analysis.

Background: Intraoperative events and clinical management of deceased organ donors after brain death are poorly characterized and may consequently vary between hospitals and organ procurement organization (OPO) regions. In a multicenter cohort, we sought to estimate the incidence of hypotension and anesthetic and nonanesthetic medication use during organ recovery procedures.

Methods: We used data from electronic anesthetic records generated during organ recovery procedures from brain-dead adults across a Multicenter Perioperative Outcomes Group (MPOG) cohort of 14 US hospitals and 4 OPO regions (2014-2020).
