Textbook surgical outcome in lung transplantation: Analysis of a US national registry.

Journal Article Clin Transplant · April 2022 INTRO: Textbook surgical outcome (TO) is a novel composite quality measure in lung transplantation (LTx). Compared to 1-year survival metrics, TO may better differentiate center performance, and motivate improvements in care. To understand the feasibility ... Full text Link to item Cite

Lung transplantation after ex vivo lung perfusion versus static cold storage: An institutional cost analysis.

Journal Article Am J Transplant · February 2022 Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is a novel lung preservation strategy that facilitates the use of marginal allografts; however, it is more expensive than static cold storage (SCS). To understand how preservation method might affect postoperative costs, we co ... Full text Link to item Cite

Regional anesthesia reduces inpatient and outpatient perioperative opioid demand in periarticular elbow surgery.

Journal Article J Shoulder Elbow Surg · February 2022 HYPOTHESIS: Regional anesthesia (RA) can be used to manage perioperative pain in the treatment of periarticular elbow fracture fixation. However, the opioid-sparing benefit is not well-characterized. The hypothesis of this study was that RA had reduced inp ... Full text Link to item Cite
