Abstract

Introduction: Geriatric trauma patients (GTP) make up an increasing percentage of the overall trauma population. Due to frailty, GTP are at an increased risk of morbidity and readmission. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly important to prognosticate outcomes to assist with resource utilization. We hypothesized that the "Identification of Seniors at Risk" (ISAR) score may correlate with both clinical outcomes and resource utilization for geriatric trauma patients. Methods: Patients older than 65 years who were admitted to the trauma service were screened using an ISAR scoring algorithm. Outcomes, including 30-day mortality, all-cause morbidity, hospital length of stay (LOS), intensive care unit (ICU) LOS, functional independence measures (FIM) at discharge, and percent discharged to a facility, were analyzed. Both descriptive and data-appropriate parametric and non-parametric statistical approaches were utilized, with significance set at α = 0.05. Results: One thousand and two hundred seventeen GTP were included in this study. The average age was 81, median injury severity score was 9, and 99% had a blunt trauma mechanism. ISAR scores were generally associated with increasing 30-day mortality (0%, 1.9%, 2.4%, and 2.1% for ISAR 0, ISAR 1–2, ISAR 3–4, and ISAR 5–6, respectively), morbidity (2.6%, 7.6%, 14.7%, and 7.3% for respective categories), longer hospital (3.1, 4.6, 5.1, and 4.3 days, respectively) and ICU stays (0.37, 0.64, 0.81, and 0.67, respectively), lower FIM score at discharge (18.5, 17.1, 15.8, and 14.4, for respective categories), as well as increasing percentage of patients discharged to a facility (29.8%, 58.9%, 72.1%, and 78.8% for respective categories). Conclusions: This exploratory study provides important early insight into potential relationships between ISAR and geriatric trauma outcomes. ISAR screening is a quick and easy-to-use tool that may be useful in GTP triage, level-of-care determination, and disposition planning. Understanding populations at risk, especially those with more intricate discharge needs, is an important step in mitigating those risks and implementing appropriate care plans.

25. Managing the cervical spine in multiple myeloma patients.

Abstract

Discuss the relevant literature on surgical and nonsurgical treatments for multiple myeloma (MM) and their complementary effects on overall treatment. Existing surgical algorithms designed for neoplasia of the spine may not suit the management of spinal myeloma. Less than a fifth of metastatic, including myelomatous lesions, occur in the cervical spine but have a poorer prognosis and surgery in this area carries a higher morbidity. With the advances of chemotherapy, early access to radiotherapy, early orthosis management, and high definition imaging, including CT and MRI, surgical indications in MM have changed. Medical decompression (or oncolysis), including in the presence of neurological deficit and orthotic stabilization, are proving viable nonsurgical options to manage MM. A key to decision making is the assessment and monitoring of biomechanical spinal stability as part of a multidisciplinary approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This study was a program evaluation of a First-Time Offender Program for juvenile delinquents in a southwestern state. The study was theoretically based in the biopsychosocial model and utilizes a pre- and post-test design to assess participant changes in specific risk and protective factors associated with anti-social behavior and/or delinquent re-offense rates. The factors assessed included: non-severe pathology, behavior/conduct problems, and family relational functioning. Demographic information and pre- and post-test data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired samples T-tests. Multiple regression was used to explore the relationship between family relational functioning and youth pathology and behavior problems. The resulting sample for this study was small and the results should be interpreted cautiously. The findings provided partial support for the program's effectiveness at reducing non-severe pathology and behavior problems but not for improving family relationships. Analysis using multiple regression revealed that family relational functioning was predictive of non-severe pathology and behavior problems. Suggestions for improving the program and obstacles encountered during the evaluation process are discussed, as well as questions for future research, such as the effectiveness of the program with diverse populations of youth.
