Evidence-Based Thresholds for the Volume and Length of Stay Relationship in Total Hip Arthroplasty: Outcomes and Economies of Scale
Prem N. Ramkumar,Sergio M. Navarro,William C. Frankel,Heather S. Haeberle,Ronald E. Delanois,Michael A. Mont +5 more
TL;DR: This study validates economies of scale in THA by demonstrating a direct relationship between volume and value for THA through risk-based volume stratification of surgeons and hospitals using SSLR analysis of receiver-operating characteristic curves to identify low-, medium-, and high-volume surgeons and Hospitals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patients at Risk for Aortic Rupture Often Exposed to Fluoroquinolones during Hospitalization.
William C. Frankel,Barbara W. Trautner,Barbara W. Trautner,Andrew Spiegelman,Larissa Grigoryan,Scott A. LeMaire,Scott A. LeMaire +6 more
TL;DR: Reducing fluoroquinolone use in hospitalized patients with aortic disorders will become an urgent safety issue for antibiotic stewardship programs if the deleterious effects of fluoroquolone on aorta integrity are substantiated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Roman,Ralph V. Shohet,G. Michael Silberbach,Howard Song,H. Eser Tolunay,Hung Tseng,Jonathan W. Weinsaft +39 more
TL;DR: The risk of repair failure and the need for reoperation in a subset of patients supports the needFor vigilant long-term surveillance after repair, open TAAA repairs are necessary in a variety of heritable aortic diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contemporary Surgical Strategies for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection.
William C. Frankel,Susan Y. Green,Vicente Orozco-Sevilla,Vicente Orozco-Sevilla,Vicente Orozco-Sevilla,Ourania Preventza,Ourania Preventza,Ourania Preventza,Joseph S. Coselli +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review contemporary surgical strategies for acute type A aortic dissection and clarify specific areas of controversy, in an effort to elucidate the optimal operative approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence-Based Thresholds for the Volume and Cost Relationship in Total Hip Arthroplasty: Outcomes and Economies of Scale.
TL;DR: This study establishes economies of scale in THA by demonstrating a direct relationship between volume and cost reduction, and highlights a potential area for enhanced value in the care of patients undergoing THA.
