Journal ArticleDOI
Risk Associated With Complications and Mortality After Urgent Surgery vs Elective and Emergency Surgery: Implications for Defining "Quality" and Reporting Outcomes for Urgent Surgery.
Matthew G. Mullen,Alex D. Michaels,J. Hunter Mehaffey,Christopher A. Guidry,Florence E. Turrentine,Traci L. Hedrick,Charles M. Friel +6 more
TL;DR: This study highlights the need for improved risk stratification on the basis of urgency because operations performed urgently have distinct rates of morbidity and mortality compared with procedures performed either electively or emergently.
Journal ArticleDOI
Implementing a Thoracic Enhanced Recovery Program: Lessons Learned in the First Year.
Linda W. Martin,Bethany M. Sarosiek,Meredith A. Harrison,Traci L. Hedrick,James M. Isbell,Alexander S. Krupnick,Christine L. Lau,J. Hunter Mehaffey,Robert H. Thiele,Dustin M. Walters,Randal S. Blank +10 more
TL;DR: Implementation of thoracic ERAS is a dynamic process with potential to improve outcomes in thorACic surgical procedures and in the first year shortened length of stay, decreased opioid usage, minimized fluid overload, and decreased hospital costs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surgeon Scientists Are Disproportionately Affected by Declining NIH Funding Rates.
Adishesh K. Narahari,J. Hunter Mehaffey,Robert B. Hawkins,Eric J. Charles,Pranav K. Baderdinni,Anirudha S. Chandrabhatla,Joseph W. Kocan,R. Scott Jones,Gilbert R. Upchurch,Irving L. Kron,John A. Kern,Gorav Ailawadi +11 more
TL;DR: Despite declining funding over the last 10 years, surgeon scientists have demonstrated increasing productivity as measured by impactful publications and higher success rates in converting early investigator awards to R01s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Socioeconomic Distressed Communities Index Predicts Risk-Adjusted Mortality After Cardiac Surgery.
Eric J. Charles,J. Hunter Mehaffey,Robert B. Hawkins,Clifford E. Fonner,Leora T. Yarboro,Mohammed A. Quader,Andy C. Kiser,Jeffrey B. Rich,Alan M. Speir,Irving L. Kron,Margaret C. Tracci,Gorav Ailawadi +11 more
TL;DR: The Distressed Communities Index independently predicts risk-adjusted operative mortality after CABG and should be considered when building risk models, evaluating resource utilization, and comparing hospitals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Socioeconomic "Distressed Communities Index" Improves Surgical Risk-adjustment.
J. Hunter Mehaffey,Robert B. Hawkins,Eric J. Charles,Florence E. Turrentine,Peter T. Hallowell,Charles M. Friel,R. Scott Jones,Megan C. Tracci +7 more
TL;DR: The DCI, an established metric for socioeconomic distress, improves ACS NSQIP risk-adjustment to predict outcomes and hospital cost and should be integrated into ACS NSZIP risk models.
