Operative procedural training is a key component of orthopaedic surgery residency. The influence of intraoperative resident participation on the outcomes of surgery has not been studied extensively using large, population-based databases.We identified 30,628 patients who underwent orthopaedic procedures from the 2011 American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program. Outcomes as measured by perioperative complications, readmission rates, and mortality within thirty days were compared for cases with and without intraoperative resident involvement.Logistic regression with propensity score analysis revealed that intraoperative resident participation was associated with decreased rates of overall complications (odds ratio, 0.717 [95% confidence interval, 0.657 to 0.782]), medical complications (odds ratio, 0.723 [95% confidence interval, 0.661 to 0.790]), and mortality (odds ratio, 0.638 [95% confidence interval, 0.427 to 0.951]). Resident presence in the operating room was not predictive of wound complications (odds ratio, 0.831 [95% confidence interval, 0.656 to 1.053]), readmission (odds ratio, 0.962 [95% confidence interval, 0.830 to 1.116]), or reoperation (odds ratio, 0.938 [95% confidence interval, 0.758 to 1.161]). A second analysis by propensity score stratification into quintiles grouped by similar probability of intraoperative resident presence showed resident involvement to correlate with decreased rates of overall and medical complications in three quintiles, but increased rates of overall and medical complications in one quintile. All other outcomes were equivalent across quintiles.Orthopaedic resident involvement during surgical procedures is associated with lower risk of perioperative complications and mortality in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. The results support resident participation in the operative care of orthopaedic patients.Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

To assess the effect of having a placental abruption on 1. the probability of having further pregnancies, and 2. the rate of recurrence in such pregnancies.A cohort study based on the Medical Birth Registry of Norway.From 1967 to 1989, placental abruption occurred in 218/4951 subsequent deliveries after a placental abruption index case. After placental abruption with perinatal survival in the first delivery 59% of women had a further delivery, compared with 71% who did not have placental abruption at delivery. After a perinatal loss corresponding rates were 83% and 85%, respectively. Odds ratios of recurrence of abruption, crude and adjusted for maternal age, birth order and time period were 7.1 and 6.4, respectively. No secular trends were found. Caesarean section rates increased and were higher in pregnancies with recurrent placental abruption and in subsequent pregnancies without placental abruption than in the total birth population.Women who have placental abruption are less likely than other women to have another pregnancy. For women who do have subsequent pregnancies placental abruption occurs significantly more frequently.

In Brief Placental abruption complicates about 1% of pregnancies and is a leading cause of vaginal bleeding in the latter half of pregnancy. It is also an important cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity. The maternal effect of abruption depends primarily on its severity, whereas its effect on the fetus is determined both by its severity and the gestational age at which it occurs. Risk factors for abruption include prior abruption, smoking, trauma, cocaine use, multifetal gestation, hypertension, preeclampsia, thrombophilias, advanced maternal age, preterm premature rupture of the membranes, intrauterine infections, and hydramnios. Abruption involving more than 50% of the placenta is frequently associated with fetal death. The diagnosis of abruption is a clinical one, and ultrasonography and the Kleihauer-Betke test are of limited value. The management of abruption should be individualized on a case-by-case basis depending on the severity of the abruption and the gestational age at which it occurs. In cases where fetal demise has occurred, vaginal delivery is preferable. Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy should be managed aggressively. When abruption occurs at or near term and maternal and fetal status are reassuring, conservative management with the goal of vaginal delivery may be reasonable. However, in the presence of fetal or maternal compromise, prompt delivery by cesarean is often indicated. Similarly, abruption at extremely preterm gestations may be managed conservatively in selected stable cases, with close monitoring and rapid delivery should deterioration occur. Most cases of placental abruption cannot be predicted or prevented. However, in some cases, maternal and infant outcomes can be optimized through attention to the risks and benefits of conservative management, ongoing evaluation of fetal and maternal well-being, and through expeditious delivery where appropriate. Early diagnosis and prompt delivery in cases of abruption at term and conservative management in selected cases remote from term may improve outcomes with abruption.

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether high patient inflow volumes to an intensive care unit are associated with unplanned readmissions to the unit.DESIGN: Retrospective comparative analysis.SETTING: The setting is a large urban tertiary care academic medical center.PATIENTS: Patients (n = 3233) discharged from an adult neurosciences critical care unit to a lower level of care from January 1, 2006 through November 30, 2007.INTERVENTIONS: None.MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: The main outcome variable is unplanned patient readmission to the neurosciences critical care unit within 72 hrs of discharge to a lower level of care. The odds of one or more discharges becoming an unplanned readmission within 72 hrs were nearly two and a half times higher on days when > or =9 patients were admitted to the neurosciences critical care unit (odds ratio, 2.43; 95% confidence interval, 1.39-4.26) compared with days with < or =8 admissions. The odds of readmission were nearly five times higher on days when > or =10 patients were admitted (odds ratio, 4.99; 95% confidence interval, 2.45-10.17) compared with days with < or =9 admissions. Adjusting for patient complexity, the odds of an unplanned readmission were 2.34 times higher for patients discharged to a lower level of care on days with > or =10 admissions to the neurosciences critical care unit (odds ratio, 2.34; 95% confidence interval, 1.27-4.34) compared with similar patients discharged on days of < or =9 admissions.CONCLUSIONS: Days of high patient inflow volumes to the unit were associated significantly with subsequent unplanned readmissions to the unit. Furthermore, the data indicate a possible dose-response relationship between intensive care unit inflow and patient outcomes. Further research is needed to understand how to defend against this risk for readmission. PMID: 19866504

Background: For women who suffer from abruption in the first pregnancy, the extent to which birth spacing has an impact on maternal and fetal outcomes in a second pregnancy remains unclear.Objectives: To examine the effect of interpregnancy interval (IPI) after a first pregnancy complicated by placental abruption, on adverse maternal and fetal outcomes in a subsequent pregnancy.Study design: This was a population-based retrospective cohort study using maternally-linked Missouri birth registry from 1989 to 2005 (n = 2069). Exposure of interest was IPI and outcomes were placental abruption, preeclampsia, preterm birth, small for gestational age, cesarean delivery, and neonatal plus fetal deaths (neofetal death) in a second pregnancy. Logistic regressions were used to assess the association between IPI and the outcomes.Results: Compared with women with an IPI of 1–2 years, those with short IPI (<1 year) were more likely to experience preterm birth (aOR 3.01, 95% CI 1.71–5.28) and neonatal death (aOR 3.52, 95% CI 1.24–10.02) in their subsequent pregnancy. No significant associations between IPI and recurrent placental abruption or preeclampsia were detected.Conclusions: Women who become pregnant in less than a year's time of an initial placental abruption are at increased risk for preterm birth and neofetal death in a subsequent pregnancy. Other ischemic placental disease conditions are also shown to have serious health implications for a woman's next pregnancy.

Background: Studies about the influence of patient characteristics on mechanical failure of cups in total hip replacement have applied different methodologies and revealed inconclusive results. The fixation mode has rarely been investigated. Therefore, we conducted a detailed analysis of the influence of patient characteristics and fixation mode on cup failure risks. Methods: We conducted a case-control study of total hip arthroplasties in 4420 patients to test our hypothesis that patient characteristics of sex, age, weight, body mass index, and diagnosis have different influences on risks for early mechanical failure in cemented and uncemented cups. Results: Women had significantly reduced odds for failure of cups with cemented fixation (odds ratio = 0.59; 95% confidence interval, 0.43 to 0.83; p = 0.002) and uncemented fixation (odds ratio = 0.63; 95% confidence interval, 0.5 to 0.81; p = 0.0003) compared with that for men (odds ratio = 1). Each additional year of patient age at the time of surgery reduced the failure odds by a factor of 0.98 for both cemented cups (odds ratio = 0.98; 95% confidence interval, 0.96 to 0.99; p = 0.016) and uncemented cups (odds ratio = 0.98; 95% confidence interval, 0.97 to 0.99; p = 0.0002). In patients with cemented cups, the weight group of 73 to 82 kg had significantly lower failure odds (odds ratio = 0.63; 95% confidence interval, 0.4 to 0.98) than the lightest (<64 kg) weight group or the heaviest (>82 kg) weight group (odds ratios = 1.00 and 1.07, respectively). No significant effects of weight were noted in the uncemented group. In contrast, obese patients (a body mass index of >30 kg/m2) with uncemented cups had significantly elevated odds relative to patients with a body mass of <25 kg/m2 (odds ratio = 1.41; 95% confidence interval, 1.03 to 1.91) for early failure of the cups compared with an insignificant effect in the cemented arm of the study. Compared with osteoarthritis as the reference diagnosis (odds ratio = 1), developmental dysplasia (odds ratio = 0.52; 95% confidence interval, 0.28 to 0.97) and hip fracture (odds ratio = 0.38; 95% confidence interval, 0.16 to 0.92) were significantly protective in cemented cups. Conclusions: Female sex and older age have similarly protective effects on the odds for early failure of cemented and uncemented cups. Although a certain body-weight range has a significant protective effect in cemented cups, the more important finding was the significantly increased risk for failure of uncemented cups in obese patients. Patients with developmental dysplasia and hip fracture were the only diagnostic groups with a significantly decreased risk for cup failure, but only with cemented fixation.
