    Abstract Objective: Hospital quality ratings are intended to guide patients and payers to the highest quality hospitals. Their success in achieving this goal has been limited by inconsistencies between ratings and questionable data collection methods. Despite these shortcomings, their popularity and importance are increasing. The purpose of this review is to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the US News and World Report (USNWR) Best Children's Hospitals Report and Leapfrog Pediatric Care Survey and discuss improvement opportunities.
    Methods: A structured literature review was performed analyzing hospital quality surveys. Previously published criteria were used to compare the USNWR Best Children's Hospitals Report and Leapfrog Pediatric Care Survey.
    Results: This narrative review highlights the strengths and weakness of both the USNWR Best Children's Hospitals Report and the Leapfrog Pediatric Care Survey, including a letter grade comparison.
    Conclusion: Existing children's hospital rating systems are lacking. We suggest specific improvements that may better enable these reports to influence the quality of pediatric care.

    Abstract This article is part of a series, Supporting Family Caregivers: No Longer Home Alone, published in collaboration with the AARP Foundation. Results of focus groups conducted as part of the AARP Foundation's No Longer Home Alone video project supported evidence that family caregivers aren't being given the information they need to manage the complex care regimens of their family members. This series of articles and accompanying videos aims to help nurses provide caregivers with the tools they need to manage their family member's medications. Each article explains the principles nurses should consider and reinforce with caregivers and is accompanied by a video for the caregiver to watch.

    Abstract Background: Knee injuries induce swelling and resolution of swelling may be a useful factor in identifying states of healing and time to return to sports activities. Recent work has suggested that bioimpedance can provide an objective measure of swelling following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and therefore may also provide guidance for clinical decision-making following knee injury. This study measures knee bioimpedance in young, active people to help define baseline variability and factors that influence limb to limb differences.
    Methods: Bioimpedance was measured via sensors placed at the foot/ankle and thigh, in positions similar to those suggested for monitoring post-TKA swelling. Initial tests were performed to verify method repeatability, then bioimpedance was measured in a convenience sample of 78 subjects (median age 21yrs). The influence of age, BMI, thigh circumference, and knee function (KOOS-JR) on the impedance measures and difference in impedance between the subject's knees were examined using a generalized multivariable linear regression.
    Results: The repeatability study measurements were highly consistent with a COV of 1.5% for resistance and an ICC of 97.9%. Women exhibited significantly larger dominant limb impedance and larger limb to limb difference in impedance than men. Regression analysis indicated that subject sex and BMI significantly influenced bioimpedance but joint score and age did not. The limb to limb differences in impedance were small on average (<5%), with larger magnitudes of difference associated with female sex, lower knee function scores, and larger limb to limb differences in thigh circumference.
    Conclusion: Bioimpedance measurements across right and left knees of healthy young people were similar, supporting use of bioimpedance measures from a patient's uninjured knee as a benchmark to monitor healing of a contralateral injured knee. Future work should focus on understanding how knee function scores and bioimpedance are related, and further explore how sex and side to side anatomic differences impact the measurement.

    Abstract Background and objectives: Persons with dementia and their care partners have known risks for loneliness and social isolation throughout the disease trajectory, yet little is described about social lives in a population heterogeneous for disease stage, syndrome type, and setting.
    Research design and methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of qualitative interviews from multiple studies to triangulate responses from a cohort of persons with dementia (n = 24), and active (n = 33) or bereaved (n = 15) care partners diverse in setting, dementia type and stage, and life experience. Interviews explored challenges related to social lives and were analyzed thematically.
    Results: Persons with dementia were on average 80 years old (range: 67-94), 38% female, and 78% diagnosed with Alzheimer's dementia; care partners were on average 67 years old (range: 40-87) and 69% female. We identified 3 primary themes. First, dyads lost external social networks due to complex factors, including discomfort of surrounding social networks, caregiving responsibilities, and progressive cognitive deficits. Second, care partners described disruptions of meaningful dyadic relationships due to progressive cognitive and functional deficits, leading to loneliness and anticipatory grief. Third, adaptive strategies centered on care partners facilitating shared social activities and programs addressing caregiver burden. An overarching theme of disease-course accumulation of barriers to social interactions and constant adaptations was present in all themes.
    Discussion and implications: Isolation and loneliness are a shared experience and source of distress for persons with dementia and care partners. Results can inform interventions tailored to individual needs and disease stages of dyads that enhance social connectedness.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate women's postcesarean pain levels and total opioid use for standard opioid pain management compared with local anesthetic with patient-requested opioids.
    Design: Retrospective cohort study.
    Setting/local problem: Rural southeast Ohio. Ohio had a higher rate of opioid use disorder (1.4%) than both the regional average (0.8%) and the national average (0.7%).
    Participants: We performed a retrospective study of 402 medical records of women who gave birth by cesarean.
    Intervention: Women were provided one of three types of perioperative anesthesia: routine spinal (standard of care group), wound infiltration with liposomal bupivacaine (LB INF), and transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block with liposomal bupivacaine (LB TAP). Data were collected on the amount of opioids taken postoperatively (measured as morphine milligram equivalents [MME]), pain scores, and history of opioid use.
    Results: The LB INF and LB TAP groups had significantly lower total and average MME per day than the standard of care group (p < .001). Pain scores for the LB INF group were lower on postoperative day (POD) 0 and POD1, whereas LB TAP pain scores were lower than standard of care pain scores on POD1 (p < .004). Women with a prior history of substance use disorders reported higher pain scores, took more total opioids. and stayed in the hospital longer regardless of type of anesthesia received (p < .001).
    Conclusion: LB INF and LB TAP were associated with lower amounts of opioids used and with lower postcesarean pain scores compared with the standard of care.
