Journal ArticleDOI

Defining Optimal Length of Opioid Pain Medication Prescription After Common Surgical Procedures.

TL;DR: Patterns of opioid pain medication prescriptions after common surgical procedures are described to determine the appropriateness of the prescription as indicated by the rate of refills and balance adequate pain management against the duration of treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disparity in outcomes of surgical revascularization for limb salvage: race and gender are synergistic determinants of vein graft failure and limb loss.

TL;DR: Propensity score models demonstrate that black women were the most disadvantaged, with an increased risk for loss of graft patency, and black race and female gender are risk factors for adverse outcomes after vein bypass surgery for limb salvage, after PREVENT III.
Journal ArticleDOI

Socioeconomic and hospital-related predictors of amputation for critical limb ischemia

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified socioeconomic status (SES) and access to high-volume hospitals as factors associated with major amputation in the setting of critical limb ischemia (CLI).
Journal ArticleDOI

Prospective multicenter study of quality of life before and after lower extremity vein bypass in 1404 patients with critical limb ischemia

TL;DR: Patients with CLI have a low QoL at baseline that is improved at 3 and 12 months after lower extremity vein bypass, and Successful revascularization can be expected to improveQoL in patients with CLI, with benefits that are sustained to at least 1 year.
