Is the blood thicker than water?

Study shows chronic anticoagulation is associated with higher medical and surgical complications in patients undergoing TKA.

Tips for management of patients on blood thinners? @aschwartz45 @JacobWilsonMD @heokevin7

@JArthroplasty I’m curious about the methods for querying postop aspirin. I’ve tried to obtain this type of data utilizing another national database without much accuracy due to underestimates with OTC aspirin.

@Jinny__Yoo Congrats!! This is awesome

[The Journal of Arthroplasty @JArthroplasty]

All patients undergoing primary or aseptic revision #TJA who received extended oral antibiotics (EOA) prophylaxis were 3.85 and 2.71 times less likely, respectively, to develop #PJI at 3mo compared to those without EOA.

These results suggest that PJI risk varies with CSI type. In this large database study, only patients given methylprednisolone acetate or betamethasone injections within 90d of surgery had significantly higher PJI rates compared to controls.

these numbers are insane

[Bryan Carmody @jbcarmody]

For weeks, I’ve waited patiently for preliminary application data for the 2023-2024 residency application to be released by the AAMC.

And today they dropped.

So you know what that means.

Yup, that’s right.

It’s time to break it down, Winners & Losers style™️.

From 2009-2018, total costs related to rTHA and rTKA significantly increased. The OOP costs significantly increased for rTKA, and professional reimbursements for both rTHA and rTKA decreased relative to total costs.

@action_ap Incredible results - with this data what would be a potential reason that applicants are not signaling?

[Shoulder Mom @VaniSabesanMD]

@ScienceZach Emory has access to IBM’s MarketScan and NSQIP. Text me if you need help with access.

#MedEd #MedTwitter Need some help- what’s a better measurement for accuracy, area under the curve (AUC) or diagnostic odds ratio (DOR)?

[Kevin Heo, MD @heokevin7]

Welp… just tested positive for COVID. Got it from my wife who was working a night shift in the emergency room. Just a friendly reminder to stay safe out there ✌️

New AR tech gives the neurosurgeon access to all imaging Intra-op w/o need to scrub out.

@MBurt34 It’s a weeklong requirement for us at Emory and I’ve heard great things!

[The Journal of Arthroplasty @JArthroplasty]

This RCT demonstrated that oral dexamethasone following #TKA can reduce postop pain. This may be a beneficial option in ambulatory surgery where IV limitations exist.

Came back to my dog digging through the shelves, and I guess he had a good time. Brought him to the vet and this was his x-ray. Any guesses to what these are??
