Fetal Risk Stratification and Outcomes in Children with Prenatally Diagnosed Lung Malformations: Results from a Multi-Institutional Research Collaborative
Objective:
The aim of this study was to assess current clinical outcomes in children with prenatally diagnosed congenital lung malformations (CLMs) and to identify prenatal characteristics associated with adverse outcomes.
Summary Background Data:
Despite a wide spectrum of clinical disease, the identification of fetal CLM subgroups at increased risk for hydrops and respiratory compromise at delivery has not been well defined.
Methods:
A retrospective cohort study was conducted using an operative database of prenatally diagnosed CLMs managed at 11 children’s hospitals from 2009 to 2016. Statistical anal...

A Single Institution Multi-disciplinary Approach to Power-assisted Liposuction for the Management of Lymphedema
Conclusions:
Debulking with power assisted liposuction is an effective treatment for patients with chronic extremity LE. The operation addresses patient goals and improves quality of life, and additionally reduces extremity volumes, infection rates and reliance on outpatient therapy. A comprehensive, multi-disciplinary debulking program can be successfully implemented in the United States healthcare system. (Source: Annals of Surgery)

Diagnostic Accuracy of Point-of-care Tests Used to Detect Arterial Disease in Diabetes: TEsting for Arterial Disease in Diabetes (TrEAD) Study
Objective:
We compared the diagnostic performance of a novel point-of-care duplex ultrasound test (podiatry ankle duplex scan; PAD-scan) against commonly used bedside tests for the detection of PAD in diabetes.
Background:
PAD is a major risk factor for diabetic foot ulceration and amputation. Its diagnosis is fundamental though challenging. Although a variety of bedside tests are available, there is no agreement as to which is the most useful. PAD-scan may be advantageous over current tests as it allows for vessel visualization and more accurate arterial waveform assessment. However, its accuracy has not been p...

Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair Practice in 13 Countries: A Report From VASCUNET and the International Consortium of Vascular Registries
Objective:
To assess practice patterns and short-term outcome after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), based on an international vascular registry collaboration.
Summary Background Data:
TEVAR has become the primary surgical treatment modality for descending aortic pathologies, and has expanded to new patient cohorts, including the elderly.
Methods:
Data on thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA), type B aortic dissections (TBAD), and traumatic aortic injuries (TAI) treated with TEVAR from 2012 to 2016 were retrieved from registries and centers in 13 countries.
Results:
Nine-thousand five-hundred...

The Impact of the Affordable Care Act on Trauma Outcomes in At-Risk Groups: An Interrupted Time Series Analysis with Control Group
Objective:
Analyze the impact of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on trauma outcomes at a population level and within at-risk subgroups.
Background:
Trauma disproportionately affects the uninsured. Compared to the insured, uninsured patients have worse functional outcomes and increased mortality. The goal of the ACA was to increase access to insurance.
Methods:
An interrupted time series was conducted using data from the National Inpatient Sample database between 2011 and 2016. Data from Alberta, Canada was used as a control group. Mortality, length of stay, and probability of discharge home with or without ...

A National Assessment of Trauma Systems Using the American College of Surgeons NBATS Tool: Geographic Distribution of Trauma Center Need
Conclusions:
Application of the NBATS tool nationally shows the need for additional trauma infrastructure across a large segment of the United States. We identified some limitations of the NBATS tool, including preferential weighting based on current infrastructure. The NBATS tool provides a good framework to begin the national discussion around investing in the expansion of trauma systems nationally, however, in many instances lacks the granularity to drive change at the local level.
