    Abstract Fragility hip fractures result from low energy mechanisms and are associated with morbidity and mortality, especially in the elderly. We examined outcomes 2 years before and after implementation of a fragility fracture program. The pathway involves emergency department clearance and admission by a medical service with orthopedic consultation. Demographics include age, gender, fracture location, injury severity score (ISS), and ASA. Outcomes include DVT/PE, mortality, disposition, non-operative rate, ICU admission, time to surgery (TTS), length of stay (LOS), and admission service. 777 patients were included (383 PRE/394 POS). POS patients were slightly younger. Trauma admission decreased and LOS and TTS increased. There were no other demographic or outcome differences. Although TTS increased, it remained under 48 hours. Length of stay increase was possibly a reflection of COVID-19. Decreased trauma admission demonstrates pathway adherence. Further studies need to be conducted to verify that quality care can be maintained after initiation of a hip fragility pathway.

    Abstract Objectives: Follow-up care for incidental findings (IFs) on trauma computed tomography scans is a component of comprehensive healthcare. Our objective was to assess the effectiveness of our IF predischarge disclosure practice guideline and identify factors contributing to follow-up failure.
    Methods: This was a secondary analysis of a prospective observational database: 615 patients with IFs from November 2019 to February 2020. Follow-up compliance was determined by electronic medical record review and/or a telephone call after a mail-out request for voluntary participation. Volunteers answered a predetermined questionnaire regarding follow-up care.
    Results: A total of 115 patients (19%) had computed tomography-based IFs recommending additional imaging or other follow-ups. Seventy-four (64%) patients were lost to inclusion as a result of death (12.1%), inability to contact (51.3%), or noninterest (5.2%). Of the remaining 36 patients, 19 received follow-up care (52.7%) and 17 did not (47.2%). No statistical differences existed among groups in age, sex, mechanism of injury, Glasgow Coma Scale score, whether informed by physicians or midlevel providers, or type of IF. A total of 15 (88%) nonfollow-up patients did not recall the disclosure or discharge paperwork instructions. Of 19 compliant patients: 9 had additional imaging only, 5 had biopsies and/or surgical intervention (n = 3 cancer, n = 2 benign), 3 had primary care advice against additional studies and 2 were referred to specialists.
    Conclusions: Predischarge disclosure of IFs can contribute significantly to overall patient health. Nonetheless, fewer than half of patients do not pursue follow-up recommendations, most often citing failure to recall verbal/written instructions. More effective communication with attention to health literacy, follow-up telephone calls, and postdischarge appointments are potential catalysts for improved patient compliance.

    Abstract Fake news, spreading its disinformation, is a plague to modern journalism and the media. Poisoning the reliability of sources, accuracy detection is necessary. In this research, we use machine learning to automatically classify COVID-19 related fake news' validity and to find the most important features in the headlines used in determining accuracy. We used a dataset crawled from Politifact.com between March and June 2020 and contained 299 fake news and 100 truthful news as determined by the website's fact-checkers. We extracted different features from the news headlines, including features from the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count Engine to be used in different machine learning models from the scikit-learn API. The model with the highest average precision was the Decision Tree Classifier, achieving 79% on five-fold cross-validation. The top features used by the classification model included the number of motion words, number of relativity words, number of prepositions in the headline, the authenticity of the tone in the headline, and the word count. Fake news outlets commonly try to have more description in their headlines to convince users that a headline is true, which explains an increase in prepositions, motion, and relativity words, and overall word count in fake news.

    Abstract Background: Better means of identifying patients with increased cardiac complication (CC) risk is needed. Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is reported on routine chest CT scans. We assessed the correlation of CAC and CCs in the geriatric trauma population.
    Study design: A prospective, observational study of patients 55 years and older who had chest CT scan from May to September 2022 at a level 1 trauma center. Radiologists scored CAC as none, mild, moderate, or severe. None-to-mild CAC (NM-CAC) and moderate-to-severe CAC (MS-CAC) were grouped and in-hospital CCs assessed (arrhythmia, ST elevation myocardial infarction [STEMI], non-STEMI, congestive heart failure, pulmonary edema, cardiac arrest, cardiogenic shock, and cardiac mortality). Univariate and bivariate analyses were performed.
    Results: Five hundred sixty-nine patients had a chest CT, of them 12 were excluded due to missing CAC severity. Of 557 patients, 442 (79.3%) had none-to-mild CAC and 115 (20.7%) has MS-CAC; the MS-CAC group was older (73.3 vs 67.4 years) with fewer male patients (48.7% vs 54.5%), had higher cardiac-related comorbidities, and had higher abbreviated injury scale chest injury scores. The MS-CAC group had an increased rate of CC (odds ratio [OR] 1.81, p = 0.016). Cardiac complications statistically more common in MS-CAC were congestive heart failure (OR 3.41, p = 0.003); cardiogenic shock (OR 3.3, p = 0.006); non-STEMI I or II (OR 2.8, p = 0.017); STEMI (OR 5.9, p = 0.029); and cardiac-caused mortality (OR 5.27, p = 0.036). No statistical significance between pulmonary edema (p = 0.6), new-onset arrhythmia (p = 0.74), or cardiac arrest (p = 0.193).
    Conclusions: CAC as reported on chest CT scans demonstrates a significant correlation with CC and should warrant additional cardiac monitoring.

    Abstract Background: Rib fracture (RF) pain management provides analgesia while reducing opioids. We postulated: (1) Prescriber factors affect opiate duration, and (2) lidocaine infusion curtails dependency.
    Materials and methods: Retrospective study of RF patients undergoing multimodal analgesia at ACS-verified Level 1 Trauma Center April 2018-February 2020. Exclusions: age<18 y/o, GCS < 14, hospital length of stay (LOS) <3 d, <3 RF, ventilator support, injury-related mortality, disclosed/discoverable, acute/chronic opiate Rx within 90 days preadmission, substance abuse, patient inaccessible via Controlled Substance Monitoring Database (CSMD), and/or not using opioids in-/post-hospitalization. CSMD queried regarding opioid prescriptions filled by cohort. Cohort variable analysis performed on SPSS Version 27sf (Armonk, NY: IBM Corp).
    Results: 153 patients included - 113 (74%) stopped opiates by 30 days post-discharge (NORx30), 40 (26%) continued beyond 30 days (Rx+). No significant differences in age, gender, ISS, number of RF, bilaterality, flail chest, and discharge disposition. Significant differences included hospital LOS (7.62 NORx30 vs. 10.22 Rx+,
    Discussion: Prescriber attention to MME/day and number of pills dispensed affects opioid dependency. We recommend 35-40 MME/day with 50 pill/month limit prescribed by a single provider monitoring patient and CSMD. Early LI offers post-discharge opioid cessation advantage.
