Cardiothoracic operating room blood gas workflow performance improvement initiative
CONCLUSIONS: A multidisciplinary team with key stakeholders is important to address complex care issues. Performance improvement methodology is critical to develop interventions that hardwire the process. This intervention led to a sustained reduction in secondary relabeling of patient samples and improved timeliness of reporting of blood gas results.PMID:38460972 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqae014 (Source: American Journal of Clinical Pathology)

Analyzing clinical laboratory specimen rejection rates at a specialized hospital in Ethiopia: A 2-year document review
CONCLUSIONS: This study emphasized a significant incidence of specimen rejection, particularly in the hematology laboratory, underscoring the need for immediate implementation of corrective actions and preventive measures. Furthermore, conducting comprehensive larger-scale studies is recommended to deepen our understanding of and investigate the specific factors contributing to specimen rejection in greater detail.PMID:38459898 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqae019 (Source: American Journal of Clinical Pathology)

A 5-step root cause analysis model for test overutilization: A study on its application to plasma transferrin testing
CONCLUSIONS: This study presents a 5-step RCA model that offers a customized method to identify the causes of test overutilization. Applying this model to transferrin at our institution revealed 22 leading root causes. Laboratories are encouraged to adopt this RCA model as it can contribute to optimized patient care and more efficient resource allocation.PMID:38447167 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqae015 (Source: American Journal of Clinical Pathology)

Analysis of editor in chief gender and associated journal variables among 126 pathology journals
CONCLUSIONS: Women are significantly underrepresented among editor in chiefs across pathology journals. Journals and affiliated members should advocate for diversity among these influential positions, given their impact on research, science, and medicine.PMID:38437878 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqae018 (Source: American Journal of Clinical Pathology)

Implementation of endometrial cancer molecular subtyping into a hybrid community-academic practice
CONCLUSIONS: Our protocol identified 22 (14%) of 157 LR tumors that harbored incipient intermediate- to high-risk molecular aberrations in TP53, CTNNB1, or L1CAM. Moving forward, results of ongoing trials assessing adjuvant therapy decisions based on molecular classification are necessary to confirm protocol utility and identify appropriate modifications.PMID:38430556 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqae010 (Source: American Journal of Clinical Pathology)

Radical prostatectomy cancer grade and percentage of Gleason pattern 4 estimated by global vs individual tumor grading correlate differently with the risk of biochemical recurrence in Grade Group 2 and 3 cancers
CONCLUSIONS: Grade Group, GP4%, and margin status derived by global vs individual tumor grading predict postoperative biochemical recurrence statistically significantly differently. This difference has important implications if results derived from cohorts graded using different methods are compared.PMID:38412318 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqae003 (Source: American Journal of Clinical Pathology)

Comprehensive morphologic characterization of bone marrow biopsy findings in a large cohort of patients with VEXAS syndrome: A single-institution longitudinal study of 111 bone marrow samples from 52 patients
CONCLUSIONS: Our data reveal potential novel diagnostic features, such as a high incidence of monocytopenia and distinct patterns of atypical megakaryopoiesis, that appear different from dysmegakaryopoiesis typically associated with MDS. In our experience, those findings are suggestive of VEXAS, in the appropriate clinical context.PMID:38413044 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqad186 (Source: American Journal of Clinical Pathology)
