    Abstract Modern health care faces several serious challenges, including an ageing population and its inherent burden of chronic diseases, rising costs and marginal quality metrics. By assessing and optimizing the health trajectory of each individual using a data-driven personalized approach that reflects their genetics, behaviour and environment, we can start to address these challenges. This assessment includes longitudinal phenome measures, such as the blood proteome and metabolome, gut microbiome composition and function, and lifestyle and behaviour through wearables and questionnaires. Here, we review ongoing large-scale genomics and longitudinal phenomics efforts and the powerful insights they provide into wellness. We describe our vision for the transformation of the current health care from disease-oriented to data-driven, wellness-oriented and personalized population health.

    Abstract Introduction: The clinical diversity of patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) allows emergency medicine (EM) and non-EM residents to sharpen their clinical skills. In most EDs, residents self-assign patients at their discretion. Our institution transitioned from a self-assignment-system to an automated-system, after which we sought to determine the productivity of our non-EM residents compared to the previous system.
    Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, resident productivity was measured as number of patient visits per hour and per 8.5-hour shift before and after the implementation of an automated patient assignment system in emergency department. The automated-system assigns one patient at the start of the shift, another 30 minutes later, and one patient every hour thereafter, throughout the shift.
    Results: 28 residents performed 406 total shifts prior to implementation and 14 residents performed 252 total shifts post-implementation. The average number of patient visits per hour significantly increased from 0.52 ± 0.18 (95% CI 0.45-0.59, IQR 0.43-0.60) to 0.82 ± 0.11 (95% CI 0.75-0.88, IQR 0.74-0.89) after implementation of our assignment system (p<0.00001; figure 1). Additionally, the average number of patient visits per 8.5-hour shift significantly increased from 4.46 ± 1.53 (CI 3.86-5.05, IQR 3.66-5.08) to 6.52 ± 0.86 (CI 6.02-7.02, IQR 5.90-7.09) after the implementation of our system (p<0.00001; figure 1).
    Conclusion: These findings warrant further evaluation of the impact of patient assignment systems on trainee education.

    Abstract Multiomic profiling can reveal population heterogeneity for both health and disease states. Obesity drives a myriad of metabolic perturbations and is a risk factor for multiple chronic diseases. Here we report an atlas of cross-sectional and longitudinal changes in 1,111 blood analytes associated with variation in body mass index (BMI), as well as multiomic associations with host polygenic risk scores and gut microbiome composition, from a cohort of 1,277 individuals enrolled in a wellness program (Arivale). Machine learning model predictions of BMI from blood multiomics captured heterogeneous phenotypic states of host metabolism and gut microbiome composition better than BMI, which was also validated in an external cohort (TwinsUK). Moreover, longitudinal analyses identified variable BMI trajectories for different omics measures in response to a healthy lifestyle intervention; metabolomics-inferred BMI decreased to a greater extent than actual BMI, whereas proteomics-inferred BMI exhibited greater resistance to change. Our analyses further identified blood analyte-analyte associations that were modified by metabolomics-inferred BMI and partially reversed in individuals with metabolic obesity during the intervention. Taken together, our findings provide a blood atlas of the molecular perturbations associated with changes in obesity status, serving as a resource to quantify metabolic health for predictive and preventive medicine.

    Abstract Background: This study investigates whether students with pre-matriculation, formalized, clinical experience performed better in Step 1 and Step 2 of the United States Medical Licensing Exams (USMLE) compared to students without formal pre-matriculation clinical experience.
    Methods: This research investigation was a retrospective cohort study conducted at the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Tucson, Arizona, USA, and analyzed students in the Class of 2017 and Class of 2018. Formal clinical experience was defined as registered nurses, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, paramedics, emergency medical technicians, or licensed practical nurses for any amount of time prior to matriculation, as well as scribing for at least 6 months prior to matriculation. Students with any amount of shadowing experience were not considered to have clinical experience. The authors performed multiple regression analyses to investigate the effects of formal clinical experience on USMLE exam performance. Statistical significance was defined as
    Results: Our study had a total of 227 students from the two classes, with 40 (17.6%) having formal pre-matriculation clinical experience, as already defined. Nine (3.96%) students were not assessed in USMLE Step 1 calculations, and 61 (26.9%) students were not assessed in USMLE Step 2 calculations due to an absence of recorded USMLE scores. Formal pre-matriculation clinical experience was a statistically significant positive predictor of USMLE Step 1 score (
    Conclusion: Formal pre-matriculation clinical experience, as defined previously, positively correlates with an increase in USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 scores.

    Abstract Background and objectives: Urgent care centers (UCCs) are increasingly popular with an estimated number of 9600 stand-alone centers in the United States compared to emergency departments (EDs). These facilities offer a potentially more convenient and affordable option for patients seeking care for a variety of low-acuity conditions. Because of the limitations of UCCs, patients occasionally are referred to EDs for further care. Prior studies have attempted to evaluate the appropriateness of these UCC referrals. Our study is the first to consider if these referrals require ED-specific care and the diagnostic concordance of these referrals.
    Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review to identify patients who were referred from UCCs to our ED between October 2020 and June 2021. We used a Boolean search strategy to screen charts for the terms urgent care, emergency department, referral, or transfer. Cases were manually screened until 300 met the inclusion criteria. Cases had to feature the patient being seen by a UCC provider and directly referred to the ED on the same day. Patients who presented to the ED of their own volition were excluded. Three independent abstractors reviewed the charts. All abstractors and a senior investigator piloted the use of a data collection sheet and discussed the management of any ambiguous data. A senior physician reviewed all discrepancies among abstractors. Data collected included ED final diagnosis and whether the final diagnosis was similar to the UCC diagnosis. A referral was deemed to require ED-specific care and resources if (1) the patient was admitted, (2) imaging (other than an x-ray) was performed, (3) specialist consultation was required, or (4) care was provided in the ED that is not conventionally available at UCCs.
    Results: From the 300 patient charts, 55% of patients referred from UCCs to the ED did not require ED-specific care or resources and 64% had discordant diagnoses between UCC diagnosis and ED diagnosis. A total of 41% of patients underwent advanced imaging studies, 26% received specialty consultations, and 15% were admitted. Subgroup analysis for lacerations, extremity/fracture care, and abnormal electrocardiograms (ECGs) showed disproportionally high levels of discordant diagnoses and referrals that did not require ED-specific care or resources.
    Conclusion: Our data found that 55% of patients referred to EDs from UCCs did not require ED-specific care or resources and 64% carried a discordant diagnosis between UC and ED diagnosis. We suggest quality remedies, such as educational sessions and engagement with telemedicine sub-specialists as well as a coordinated formalized system for UCC to ED referrals.

    Abstract Risk stratification for hospitalized adults with COVID-19 is essential to inform decisions about individual patients and allocation of resources. So far, risk models for severe COVID outcomes have included age but have not been optimized to best serve the needs of either older or younger adults. Models also need to be updated to reflect improvements in COVID-19 treatments. This retrospective study analyzed data from 6906 hospitalized adults with COVID-19 from a community health system across five states in the western United States. Risk models were developed to predict mechanical ventilation illness or death across one to 56 days of hospitalization, using clinical data available within the first hour after either admission with COVID-19 or a first positive SARS-CoV-2 test. For the seven-day interval, models for age ≥ 18 and < 50 years reached AUROC 0.81 (95% CI 0.71-0.91) and models for age ≥ 50 years reached AUROC 0.82 (95% CI 0.77-0.86). Models revealed differences in the statistical significance and relative predictive value of risk factors between older and younger patients including age, BMI, vital signs, and laboratory results. In addition, for hospitalized patients, sex and chronic comorbidities had lower predictive value than vital signs and laboratory results.

    Abstract Background: Statins remain one of the most prescribed medications worldwide. While effective in decreasing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk, statin use is associated with adverse effects for a subset of patients, including disrupted metabolic control and increased risk of type 2 diabetes.
    Methods: We investigated the potential role of the gut microbiome in modifying patient responses to statin therapy across two independent cohorts (discovery n = 1,848, validation n = 991). Microbiome composition was assessed in these cohorts using stool 16S rRNA amplicon and shotgun metagenomic sequencing, respectively. Microbiome associations with markers of statin on-target and adverse effects were tested via a covariate-adjusted interaction analysis framework, utilizing blood metabolomics, clinical laboratory tests, genomics, and demographics data.
    Findings: The hydrolyzed substrate for 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutarate-coenzyme-A (HMG-CoA) reductase, HMG, emerged as a promising marker for statin on-target effects in cross-sectional cohorts. Plasma HMG levels reflected both statin therapy intensity and known genetic markers for variable statin responses. Through exploring gut microbiome associations between blood-derived measures of statin effectiveness and adverse metabolic effects of statins, we find that heterogeneity in statin responses was consistently associated with variation in the gut microbiome across two independent cohorts. A Bacteroides-enriched and diversity-depleted gut microbiome was associated with more intense statin responses, both in terms of on-target and adverse effects.
    Conclusions: With further study and refinement, gut microbiome monitoring may help inform precision statin treatment.
    Funding: This research was supported by the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, WRF, NAM Catalyst Award, and NIH grant U19AG023122 awarded by the NIA.

    Abstract Physicians suffer from most medical conditions at the same rate as their lay peers. However, physicians' self-care is often sacrificed for patient care. This third article in our series examines physician and trainee illness and impairment. Presenteeism, physician impairment, and substance use disorder (SUD) are defined. We call attention to the potential for harm of dated cultural norms, which often fuel physicians' neglect of their own health and development of ill-advised coping skills.Although any medical condition may become a functional impairment, the primary cause of physician impairment is SUD. Alcohol and prescription opioids top the list of substances used in excess by physicians. Although SUD is less prevalent in residency, we focus on the rise of marijuana and alcohol use in emergency medicine trainees. A nonpunitive model for the prevention and treatment of SUD in residency is described.Physicians are ethically and legally mandated to report any concern for impairment to either a state physician health program or a state medical board. However, recognizing physician SUD is challenging. We describe its clinical presentation, voluntary and mandated treatment tracks, provisions for protecting reporters from civil liability, prognosis for return to practice, and prevention efforts. We underscore the need to model healthy coping strategies and assist trainees in adopting them.In closing, we offer our colleagues and trainees today's to-do list for beginning the journey of reclaiming your health. We also provide resources focused on the practical support of ill and/or impaired physicians.
