    Abstract Objective: To review the current literature regarding vitamin D insufficiency and supplementation in major illnesses.
    Design and methods: We reviewed Pubmed-indexed, English language manuscripts from January, 2003 to June, 2012 using search terms related to vitamin D, all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, and cancer.
    Outcome measures: Incidence of disease, risk ratios associated with 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels, and/or vitamin D supplementation schedules were documented.
    Results: Although 25(OH)D levels ≥20 ng/mL were often associated with improved health outcomes, evidence suggests that 25(OH)D levels ≥30 ng/mL may confer additional health benefits.
    Conclusions: Based on the available evidence, vitamin D supplementation to restore 25(OH)D levels within a range of 30-50 ng/mL is reasonable in order to optimize potential benefits and minimize potential risks. This, of course, should be considered in the context of individual patient needs and co-morbidities.

    Abstract Introduction: Neostigmine, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, is used to reverse the effects of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents. Inappropriate dosing of neostigmine can lead to post-operative respiratory complications. Post-operative respiratory complications are associated with major morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this case-control study was to determine neuromuscular blockade-related risk factors associated with post-operative respiratory complications (specifically, reintubation, respiratory insufficiency, hypoxia, and/or aspiration).
    Material and methods: We performed an Institutional Review Board-approved case-control study of all patients who underwent a general anesthetic requiring neuromuscular blockade at Tufts Medical Center between March 22, 2013 and June 1, 2019. Cases were patients who experienced post-operative complications. We identified 58 controls and 116 cases from a database of 130,178 patients during the 74-month study period.
    Results: After adjusting for covariates, the administration of high dose neostigmine (> 60 mg per kg ideal body weight) was associated with increased odds of post-operative respiratory complications (odds ratio = 8.2; 95% CI: 2.5-26.6, P < 0.001). Rocuronium dose and the use of train-of-four peripheral nerve stimulator were not associated with post-operative respiratory complications.
    Conclusions: High dose neostigmine was identified as an independent risk factor for post-operative respiratory complications. Our study suggests that inappropriate dosing of neostigmine continues to be a problem despite growing evidence of an association with respiratory complications.

  6. Article ; Online: Pre-procedural serum albumin concentration is associated with length of stay, discharge destination, and 90-day mortality in patients after transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

    Abstract Background: As visceral protein expression may influence outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease, we investigated whether pre-procedural albumin concentration is associated with length of stay (LOS) and 90-day mortality after transcatheter aortic valve repair (TAVR).
    Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from TAVR patients at our institution between January 2013 and December 2017. For all patients, baseline albumin concentration was assessed between one and four weeks before the procedure. To investigate the association between albumin concentration and outcomes, we performed regression analyses, controlling for Society of Thoracic Surgeons, New York Heart Association classification, and Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire 12 scores.
    Results: Three hundred eighty patients were included in the analyses. Cox-proportional hazards regression showed that patients with albumin concentrations <3.5 g/dL were 80% more likely to have prolonged ICU LOS (HR 1.79; 95%CI 1.04-2.57, P = 0.03) and 70% more likely to have prolonged hospital LOS (HR 1.68; 95%CI 1.01-2.46, P = 0.04) compared to patients with albumin concentrations >3.5 g/dL. Logistic regression showed that patients with albumin concentrations <3.5 g/dL were four times more likely to not survive to 90 days (OR 3.94; 1.13-12.63, P = 0.03) after their TAVR compared to patients with albumin concentrations >3.5 g/dL.
    Conclusion: Our data suggest that patients with pre-procedural albumin concentrations <3.5 g/dL are at an increased risk of adverse outcomes after TAVR compared to patients with albumin concentrations ≥3.5 g/dL. Prospective studies are needed to determine whether risk stratification based on pre-procedural albumin can improve outcomes and whether targeted interventions can improve pre-procedural albumin concentrations in potential TAVR candidates.

    Abstract Necessary procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic include electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Providing ECT has been considered an essential service during COVID-19 in the Singapore healthcare system, not least to contribute to disease control within a society in part due to the nature of the ECT patient population. There is limited evidence-based scientific information available regarding a procedural framework for ECT during a respiratory pandemic, when much attention in the healthcare system is focused on different areas of clinical care. This article attempts to describe such a framework for ECT procedures acknowledging limited solid scientific evidence at this time and being mindful of future changes to these suggestions as testing, immunization, and treatment options develop. This approach can be adopted in whole or in part to assist practitioners to protect the patient and themselves during the procedure.

    Abstract BACKGROUND: Recent data on the prevalence of essential trace element (ETE) deficiencies in home parenteral nutrition (HPN) patients are scarce. We investigated whether ETE deficiencies are still an important issue for HPN patients and whether the prevalence of such deficiencies may be influenced by nationwide drug shortages. METHODS: We conducted a single‐institution, retrospective analysis from 2006 to 2015 of hospitalized HPN patients who continued PN during and in between hospitalizations. In subgroup analysis, patients were dichotomized as those with HPN duration <1 vs ≥1 year. Zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and selenium (Se) levels were abstracted for patients over the study period. Prevalence of ETE deficiency was compared using chi‐squared test for patients hospitalized during nonshortage vs shortage (2011–2014) periods. RESULTS: Ninety‐six patients were included in the analysis. Prevalence of ETE deficiency during nonshortage vs shortage periods was 48% vs 54% (Zn), 15% vs 21% (Cu), and 24% vs 48% (Se; P = .01), respectively. When comparing patients who received HPN <1 year vs ≥1 year, the prevalence of Se deficiency doubled during shortage in both subgroups (24% to 42% vs 26% to 49%); and Cu deficiency tripled during shortage period in the group receiving HPN ≥1 year (5% to 16%). CONCLUSION: ETE deficiency is prevalent in hospitalized HPN patients and was exacerbated during nationwide shortages of parenteral supplements. Statistical significance may be limited by small sample size. Future studies are needed to determine optimal ETE supplementation strategies for minimizing the impacts of nationwide drug shortages on HPN patients.
