OBJECTIVE: With each succession along the surgical career pathway, from medical school to faculty, the percentage of those who identify as Underrepresented in Medicine (URiM) decreases. We sought to evaluate the demographic trend of surgical fellowship applicants, matriculants, and graduates over time. METHODS: The Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) and the Graduate Medical Education Survey for general surgery fellowships in colorectal surgery, surgical oncology, pediatric surgery, thoracic surgery, and vascular surgery were retrospectively analyzed (2005-2020)...

BACKGROUND: Guidelines for enoxaparin dosing after trauma recommend an initial dose of 40mg twice daily for most patients and then adjusting by anti-Xa levels. Previous studies indicated higher enoxaparin doses are necessary with higher creatinine clearance levels (CrCl). We sought to determine if the goal enoxaparin dose correlates with the admission CrCl to reduce the reliance on measuring anti-Xa levels. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective review was conducted of patients admitted to an urban, academic Level 1 trauma center from April 2017 to February 2020...

BACKGROUND: Surgical quality improvement collaboratives (QICs) aim to improve patient outcomes through coaching, benchmarked data reporting, and other activities. While other regional QICs have formed organically over time, it is unknown whether a comprehensive QI program implemented simultaneously across hospitals at the formation of a QIC would improve patient outcomes. STUDY DESIGN: Patients undergoing surgery at 48 hospitals in the Illinois Surgical Quality Improvement Collaborative (ISQIC) were included...

BACKGROUND: Acute traumatic coagulopathy (ATC) has many phenotypes and varying morbidity and mortality. The MA-R ratio, calculated from the admission thromboelastogram (TEG), serves as a biomarker to identify one phenotype of ATC and has previously been associated with significant derangements in the inflammatory response. This study evaluates outcomes related to abnormal MA-R ratios, including inflammatory responses, in a heterogeneous patient population. STUDY DESIGN: Patients from the PROPPR dataset were included...

BACKGROUND: Multimorbidity in surgery is common and associated with worse postoperative outcomes. However, conventional multimorbidity definitions (≥2 comorbidities) label the vast majority of older patients as multimorbid, limiting clinical usefulness. We sought to develop and validate better surgical specialty-specific multimorbidity definitions based on distinct comorbidity combinations. STUDY DESIGN: We used Medicare claims for patients aged 66-90 undergoing inpatient general, orthopaedic, or vascular surgery...

BACKGROUND: The geometry and compliance of gastrointestinal sphincters may be assessed by impedance planimetry using a functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP). We describe our institutional foregut surgeon experience utilizing FLIP in 1097 cases, highlighting instances where FLIP changed operative decision making. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective review of an IRB approved prospective quality database was performed. This included operative and endoscopic suite foregut procedures utilizing FLIP between February 2013 and May 2022...
