Mashup Score: 3The Effect of Anesthetic Regimen on Bone Cement... : JAAOS - Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons - 8 day(s) ago
s. We hypothesized that neuraxial anesthesia would be associated with markedly lower BCIS incidence compared with general anesthesia alone or in combination with regional anesthesia. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients aged 50 years or older who underwent cemented hemiarthroplasty for hip fractures at a single institution between January 2017 and December 2022. Patient demographics, comorbidities, procedural factors, anesthetic characteristics including anesthetic regimen (general, general plus regional, or neuraxial), cement timing, BCIS development, postoperative complications, and mortality data were extracted. BCIS was identified by changes in postcementation vitals and its severity classified according to previously established criteria. Univariate statistical analyses and multivariate logistic regression were conducted. Results: Of the 137 included patients, 58 (43%) developed BCIS. No notable differences were observed in demographics, comorbidities, or pro

Mashup Score: 6Trends in Gender Diversity Among Total Hip Arthroplasty... : JAAOS - Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons - 9 day(s) ago
lasty (THA). In addition, this study used literature review to identify possible reasons for the gender disparity among THA surgeons and identify the best next steps to promote gender equity within orthopaedics. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted using the Medicare Provider Utilization and Payment Data: Physician and Other Practitioners data set to quantify orthopaedic surgeons who performed primary THA procedures from 2013 to 2020. To assess trends in the number of hip surgeons by sex and the evolving female-to-male ratio, two-sided correlated Mann-Kendall tests were conducted. Results: Overall, 3,853 to 4,550 surgeons billed for primary THA annually. Of this number, an average of 1.7% was female. The mean number of services billed for by male surgeons was 31.62 ± 24.78 per year and by female surgeons was 26.43 ± 19.49 per year. Trend analysis of female-to-male ratio demonstrated an increasing trend of statistical significance (P = 0.009). The average number of procedures

Mashup Score: 0Analysis of Costs Associated With Increased Length of Stay... : JAAOS - Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons - 10 day(s) ago
ship between perioperative costs and length of stay (LOS) for THA and TKA. Methods: A total of 614 patients undergoing THA or TKA at a single private practice with LOS from zero to 3 days were identified. All patients were insured by private or Medicare Advantage insurance from a single provider. Primary outcomes included total costs and their relationship with LOS, classified into surgeon reimbursement, facility costs, and anesthesia costs. Secondary outcomes included readmission rates and discharge disposition. Analyses involved Student t-test, analysis of variance, and chi-square tests. Results: Longer LOS was associated with increased total, facility, and anesthesia costs. Costs for THA patients were stable except for reduced surgeon reimbursement with longer LOS. Patients undergoing TKA experienced an increase in facility costs with longer LOS. Total facility and anesthesia costs increased with LOS for Medicare Advantage patients, but surgeon reimbursement remained stable. Private

Mashup Score: 1Opioid Prescription Trends Among Orthopaedic, Primary Care, ... : JAAOS - Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons - 11 day(s) ago
o combat the opioid epidemic. Considering the continued presence of opioids for spine-related pain management, a better understanding of the patterns of opioid prescription practices may be important for future intervention. Methods: All patients aged 18 years and older who underwent elective posterior lumbar decompression and fusion, transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion, and anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion from 2018 to 2021 were retrospectively identified. Patient demographics and surgical characteristics were collected through a Structured Query Language search and manual chart review. Opioid prescription data were collected through Pennsylvania’s Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) database and grouped into the following prescriber categories: primary care, pain management, physiatry, and orthopaedic surgery. Results: Of the 1,062 patients, 302 (28.4%) underwent anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion, 345 (32.4%) underwent posterior lumbar decompression and fusion

Mashup Score: 0Quantifying the Scope of Artificial Intelligence–Assisted... : JAAOS - Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons - 11 day(s) ago
erative AI, such as ChatGPT, increased the prevalence of AI-generated orthopaedic literature? (2) Can AI detectors accurately identify ChatGPT-generated text? (3) Are there associations between article characteristics and the likelihood that it was AI generated? Methods: PubMed was searched across six major orthopaedic journals to identify articles received for publication after January 1, 2023. Two hundred and forty articles were randomly selected and entered into three popular AI detectors. Twenty articles published by each journal before the release of ChatGPT were randomly selected as negative control articles. 36 positive control articles (6 per journal) were created by altering 25%, 50%, and 100% of text from negative control articles using ChatGPT and were then used to validate each detector. The mean percentage of text detected as written by AI per detector was compared between pre-ChatGPT and post-ChatGPT release articles using independent t-test. Multivariate regression analy

Mashup Score: 0Evaluating the 2023 Standardized Letter of Recommendation... : JAAOS - Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons - 12 day(s) ago
suffered from notable rank inflation ultimately requiring introduction of an updated SLOR for the 2023 to 2024 application cycle. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the 2023 SLOR improves on deficiencies of the 2017 SLOR. Methods: Applications submitted to our institution during the 2023 to 2024 orthopaedic surgery residency application cycle were analyzed. Applicant objective metrics were collected, including US Medical Licensing Exam scores, clerkship grades, AΩA status, and research productivity. Scores for each domain of the 2023 SLOR forms were recorded. Mean scores were calculated for each question, and cumulative scores per SLOR were determined. Intraclass correlation coefficients were determined per applicant and evaluator. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient was calculated for comparison of SLOR cumulative scores and objective metrics. Results: Three hundred sixty-eight applications were reviewed, and 743 2023 SLORs were submitted in conjunction with these
