Hot of the Press! : Obesity Attenuates the Association Between the Modified Five-Item Frailty Score and Mortality in Septic Surgical Patients https://t.co/rBaf5TO1Ri

[Journal of Surgical Research @JSurgRes]

• Among nonobese patients, frailty was associated with higher 90-day mortality: 36.4% vs. 17.4% in prefrail patients (p<0.005).
• Among obese patients, mortality was similar regardless of frailty status (~34–35%).

New in @JSurgRes: Medicaid expansion linked to 7.5% lower mortality in renal cell carcinoma (284,967 patients, NCDB). Biggest gains for Hispanic patients — but no significant improvement for Black patients. Coverage saves lives; equity needs more. 📄 https://t.co/AEloJmLMvK

📈 Random forest provided greater net benefit at risk thresholds of 5–25%, suggesting potential value for early resource planning.
🏥 These models could help teams anticipate resource needs and coordinate care earlier.

Fresh Off the Press! Predicting High Variable Direct Cost in Burn Care: A Comparison of Logistic and Random Forest https://t.co/6BbzgBSO58

[Journal of Surgical Research @JSurgRes]

Both models achieved similar discrimination (AUC ≈0.74). Random forest better identified high-cost admissions (sensitivity 78.6%), while logistic regression better identified non-high-cost admissions (specificity 82.3%).
