Abstract 198: Racial Disparity In Resuming Anticoagulation For Atrial Fibrillation After An Episode Of Major Gastrointestinal Bleeding Poster Session II
Conclusion: In conclusion, the racial disparity in resuming warfarin after an episode of major GIB in anticoagulated patients for atrial fibrillation was more for Caucasians than African American. This may be explained by uncertainty of outcomes that frequently leads to overtreatment of minority patients. Cultural beliefs for not resuming warfarin might have also played a role.

Medicare Bundled Payment Policy on Anemia Care, Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events, and Mortality among Adults Undergoing Hemodialysis
CONCLUSIONS: The Medicare reimbursement policy and Food and Drug Administration-recommended erythropoietin-stimulating agent dosing changes were associated with lower erythropoietin-stimulating agent use and lower hemoglobin levels. These changes in anemia care were associated with lower risks of major adverse cardiovascular event, stroke, mortality, and heart failure but higher risk of acute myocardial infarction among adults receiving hemodialysis.PMID:35589388 | DOI:10.2215/CJN.14361121

Insurance Type and Major Complications After Hysterectomy
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between primary insurance type and major complications after hysterectomy. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on women with Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance who underwent hysterectomy from January 1, 2012, to July 1, 2014, and were included in the Michigan Surgical Quality Collaborative. Major complications within 30 days of surgery included the following: deep/organ space surgical site infection, deep venous and pulmonary thromboembolism, myocardial infarction or stroke, pneumonia or sepsis, blood transfusion, readmission, and dea...

Defining Sickle Cell Disease Severity Among Adults Hospitalized with Vaso-Occlusive Crisis
Conclusions: The high severity scores among this cohort supports the validity of employing a medical history checklist as a measure of disease severity, reflecting the cumulative end organ damage due to SCD and near universal need for daily pain medication among patients requiring inpatient admission for VOC. Two-thirds of patients were categorized as having high disease severity, driven primarily by daily pain medication use prior to hospitalization and pulmonary complications, consistent with a known subgroup of adults with SCD-related complications who are more likely to have lower health-related quality of life and acc...
