The “NUTS” statistic: Applying an EBM disease model to defensive medicine
AbstractPhysicians believe that malpractice concerns result in unnecessary testing, and many emergency physicians state that avoiding malpractice is a contributing factor to ordering medically unnecessary tests. Unfortunately, defensive medicine does not come without possible harm to patients who may be subject to non-beneficial, downstream testing, procedures, and hospitalizations. We submit a novel statistic, “NUTS” or “Number of Unnecessary Tests to avoid one Suit. ” We calculated a NUTS of 4737 for troponin testing in ED patients with suspected myocardial infarction, meaning a clinician will need to order 4737 ...

Initial distribution of COVID ‐19 vaccines to front‐line hospital workers and community first responders—A prospective descriptive study
AbstractAs one of the initial ten sites in Ohio designated to receive and distribute the first COVID-19 vaccines in December 2020, we initiated a self-reported IRB-approved research survey to describe the demographics, side-effects, and missed work time experienced by front-line health care workers in an urban tertiary care center and a rural regional hospital. First responders from both the urban and rural surrounding communities were also included in the initial Tier 1A vaccine distribution.

The COVID ‐19 outbreak in Saudi Arabia and the impact on patient safety incident reports: An empirical study among the medical facilities of Qassim health cluster
AbstractCOVID ‐19 outbreak in Saudi Arabia (SA) has placed substantial challenges on its health care system, which raised our concern about the possible influence on patient safety culture. Therefore, this study aimed to provide empirical evidence on how the COVID‐19 outbreak impacted patient safety incident reports (PSIRs) among the Qassim Health Cluster (QHC) in SA. This retrospective study assessed a total of 23,481 inpatient PSIRs from 22 medical facilities. We compared data on PSIRs between COVID‐19 period (March–July 2020) and a comparable pre‐COVID‐19 period (March–July 2019). PSIRs wer e classified ac...
