    Abstract Background: Minutes matter for trauma patients in hemorrhagic shock. How trauma team function impacts time to the next phase of care has not been rigorously evaluated. We hypothesized better team performance scores to be associated with decreased time to the next phase of trauma care.
    Methods: This retrospective secondary analysis of a prospective multicenter observational study included hypotensive trauma patients at 19 centers. Using trauma video review, we analyzed team performance with the validated Non-Technical Skills for Trauma scale: leadership, cooperation and resource management, communication, assessment/decision making, and situational awareness. The primary outcome was minutes from patient arrival to next phase of care; deaths in the bay were excluded. Secondary outcomes included time to initiation and completion of first unit of blood and inpatient mortality. Associations between team dynamics and outcomes were assessed with a linear mixed-effects model adjusting for Injury Severity Score, mechanism, initial blood pressure and heart rate, number of team members, and trauma team lead training level and sex.
    Results: A total of 441 patients were included. The median Injury Severity Score was 22 (interquartile range, 10-34), and most (61%) sustained blunt trauma. The median time to next phase of care was 23.5 minutes (interquartile range, 17-35 minutes). Better leadership, communication, assessment/decision making, and situational awareness scores were associated with faster times to next phase of care (all p < 0.05). Each 1-point worsening in the Non-Technical Skills for Trauma scale score (scale, 5-15) was associated with 1.6 minutes more in the bay. The median resuscitation team size was 12 (interquartile range, 10-15), and larger teams were slower ( p < 0.05). Better situational awareness was associated with faster completion of first unit of blood by 4 to 5 minutes ( p < 0.05).
    Conclusion: Better team performance is associated with faster transitions to next phase of care in hypotensive trauma patients, and larger teams are slower. Trauma team training should focus on optimizing team performance to facilitate faster hemorrhage control.

    Abstract Multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) measurable residual disease (MRD) before allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) independently predicts poor outcomes in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Conversely, its prognostic value in the newly defined disease entity, myelodysplastic neoplasm (MDS)/AML is unknown. To assess the relationship between disease type, pre-HCT MRD, and post-HCT outcomes, we retrospectively analyzed 1265 adults with MDS/AML (n = 151) or AML (n = 1114) who received a first allograft in first or second morphologic remission at a single institution between April 2006 and March 2023. At 3 years, relapse rates (29% for MDS/AML vs. 29% for AML, p = .98), relapse-free survival (RFS; 50% vs. 55%, p = .22), overall survival (OS; 52% vs. 60%, p = .073), and non-relapse mortality (22% vs. 16%, p = .14) were not statistically significantly different. However, a significant interaction was found between pre-HCT MFC MRD and disease type (MDS/AML vs. AML) for relapse (p = .009), RFS (p = .011), and OS (p = .039). The interaction models indicated that the hazard ratios (HRs) for the association between pre-HCT MRD and post-HCT outcomes were lower in patients with MDS/AML (for relapse: HR = 1.75 [0.97-3.15] in MDS/AML vs. 4.13 [3.31-5.16] in AML; for RFS: HR = 1.58 [1.02-2.45] vs. 2.98 [2.48-3.58]; for OS: HR = 1.50 [0.96-2.35] vs. 2.52 [2.09-3.06]). On the other hand, residual cytogenetic abnormalities at the time of HCT were equally informative in MDS/AML as in AML patients. Our data indicate that MFC-based pre-HCT MRD testing, but not testing for residual cytogenetic abnormalities, is less informative for MDS/AML than AML patients when used for prognostication of post-HCT outcomes.

    Abstract Racial and socioeconomic disparities impact outcomes after chemotherapy and limit access to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), yet studies have yielded mixed results on the influence of disparities on post-HCT outcomes. Therefore, we studied 1024 adults with AML who underwent allogeneic HCT between 5/2006 and 10/2021 at a single large university-affiliated cancer center. Collected data included non-biologic and demographic characteristics (including race/ethnicity, marital status, distance traveled, and household size), transplant- and disease-related characteristics, and area-level and individual-level socioeconomic factors (i.e., area deprivation index and occupational status). After multivariable adjustment, no socioeconomic- or non-biologic factors were associated with non-relapse mortality (NRM), overall survival (OS), relapse-free survival (RFS), or relapse except being married (associated with improved NRM: hazard ratio [HR] = 0.7 [0.50-0.97]) and having no insurance (associated with worse OS: HR = 1.49 [1.05-2.12] and RFS: HR = 1.41 [1.00-1.98]). Despite a relatively racially homogenous cohort, Asian race was associated with improved NRM (HR = 0.47 [0.23-0.93]) and American Indian/Alaskan Native race was associated with higher relapse risk (HR = 2.45 [1.08-5.53]). In conclusion, in our retrospective analysis, socioeconomic-, demographic-, and non-biologic factors had limited impact on post-HCT outcomes in AML patients allografted in morphologic remission. Further research is needed to investigate disparities among HCT-eligible patients.

    Abstract Dysregulation of sleep has widespread health consequences and represents an enormous health burden. Short-sleeping individuals are predisposed to the effects of neurodegeneration, suggesting a critical role for sleep in the maintenance of neuronal health. While the effects of sleep on cellular function are not completely understood, growing evidence has identified an association between sleep loss and DNA damage, raising the possibility that sleep facilitates efficient DNA repair.

    Abstract Mass murder, particularly mass shootings, constitutes a major, growing public health concern. Specific motivations for these acts are not well understood, often overattributed to severe mental illness. Identifying diverse factors motivating mass murders may facilitate prevention. We examined 1,725 global mass murders from 1900-2019, publicly described in English in print or online. We empirically categorized each into one of ten categories reflecting reported primary motivating factors, which were analyzed across mass murderers generally, as well as between U.S- and non-U.S.-based mass-shooters. Psychosis or disorganization related to mental illness were infrequently motivational factors (166; 9.6%), and were significantly more associated with mass murder committed using methods other than firearms. The vast majority (998, 57.86%) of incidents were impulsive and emotionally-driven, following adverse life circumstances. Most mass murderers prompted by emotional upset were found to be driven by despair or extreme sadness over life events (161, 16.13% within the category); romantic rejection or loss, or severe jealousy (204, 20.44% within the category); some specific non-romantic grudge (212, 21.24% within the category); or explosive, overwhelming rage following a dispute (266, 26.65% within the category). Results suggest that policies seeking to prevent mass murder should focus on criminal history, as well as subacute emotional disturbances not associated with severe mental illness in individuals with poor coping skills who have recently experienced negative life events.

    Abstract Electronic institutional review board systems (eIRBs) have become an integral component in ensuring compliance with Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) and IRB requirements. Despite this, few of these systems are configured to administer the single IRB (sIRB) process mandated by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for multisite research. We interviewed 103 sIRB administrators, chairs, members, and staff members about their experiences with sIRB multisite research review. We observed three main obstacles to adapting existing eIRB systems to accommodate the sIRB process: (1) Existing systems are not designed for sIRBs and are not configured to administer sIRB responsibilities, (2) they are not interoperable, and (3) resources to improve existing systems are lacking. Our findings suggest that IRBs that act as an sIRB will need major changes to their electronic systems in order to accommodate sIRB processes. These difficulties threaten both the ability of IRBs to focus on ethical rather than bureaucratic problems and the efficiency of multisite trials.

    Abstract In response to a policy of the National Institutes of Health and requirements in the revised Common Rule, a protocol for a multisite study must be reviewed by a single institutional review board (IRB), rather than by the IRB at each study site. The goal of the single IRB approach is to increase the efficiency of IRB review of multisite research without jeopardizing protections for research subjects. Yet the extent to which these joint goals are being achieved is unclear. To better understand how single IRBs function, we recruited academic, government, and commercial single IRBs (N = 49) to participate in a study involving observation of protocol review meetings and/or interviews with their members, chairs, and administrators. Twenty (40.8%) agreed to participate, of which 50% agreed to both interviews and observation. While 81.8% (9/11) of academic and 50% (4/8) of government single IRBs participated in some way, only 23.3% (7/30) of commercial single IRBs did so. The four largest commercial single IRBs declined to participate. Because evaluation of single IRBs is important to inform development, implementation, monitoring, and refinement of federal policies, single IRBs should be encouraged to participate in research that examines how they function.
