    Abstract Abstract: Introduction: Hypertension is a prevalent condition in the United States and leads to an increased risk of developing various comorbidities. However, the impact of new-onset hypertension after severe burns on patient outcomes is not known. We posit that hypertension onset after severe burn is associated with increased risk of developing comorbidities and mortality. Methods: Using the TriNetX database, burned patients diagnosed with essential hypertension after injury were compared with those who did not develop hypertension; neither had prior hypertension. Each cohort was grouped by sex, percent total body surface area (TBSA) burned, and age, then propensity matched for sex, race, ethnicity, and laboratory values. Outcomes assessed were acute kidney injury (AKI), hyperglycemia, heart failure, myocardial infarction (MI), and death. Results: Those diagnosed with hypertension after severe burn were 4.9 times more likely to develop AKI, 3.6 times for hyperglycemia, 5.3 times for heart failure, 4.7 times for acute MI, and 1.5 times for mortality. Sex analysis shows that men were at greater risk for AKI (1.5 times), heart failure (1.1 times), and death (1.4 times). Women were 1.3 times more likely to develop hyperglycemia. Percent TBSA burned grouping showed increased risk for all outcomes with increasing severity. Age grouping indicated an elevated risk of developing AKI, heart failure, acute MI, and death. Conclusion: New-onset hypertension diagnosis in severely burned patients is associated with acute kidney injury, heart failure, acute MI, and death. Overall, males, older patients, and those with a higher % TBSA burned are at a higher risk of developing these comorbidities.

    Abstract For practicing shoulder arthroplasty surgeons, it is advisable to consider a breadth of data sources concerning complications and outcomes. Although published series from high-volume centers are the primary source of data, these results may not be generalizable to a wide range of practice settings. National or health system-specific registry and medical device databases are useful adjuncts to assess the changing complication profile of shoulder arthroplasty, as well as to understand the complications specific to certain implants or implant types. To reduce the risk of postoperative complications, surgeons must have a clear understanding of the most common modes of failure.

    Abstract Introduction: This study investigates the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on medical education, research opportunities, and mental health in orthopaedic surgical training programs.
    Methods: A survey was sent to the 177 Electronic Residency Application Service-participating orthopaedic surgery training programs. The survey contained 26 questions covering demographics, examinations, research, academic activities, work settings, mental health, and educational communication. Participants were asked to assess their difficulty in performing activities relative to COVID-19.
    Results: One hundred twenty-two responses were used for data analysis. Difficulties were experienced in collaborating with others (49%), learning through online web platforms (49%), maintaining the attention span of others through online web platforms (75%), and in gaining knowledge as a presenter or participating through online web platforms (56%). Eighty percent reported that managing time to study was the same or easier. There was no reported change in difficulty for performing activities in the clinic, emergency department, or operating room. Most respondents reported greater difficulty in socializing with others (74%), participating in social activities with coresidents (82%), and seeing their family (66%). Coronavirus disease 2019 has had a significant effect on the socialization of orthopaedic surgery trainees.
    Discussion: Clinical exposure and engagement were marginally affected for most respondents, whereas academic and research activities were more greatly affected by the transition from in-person to online web platforms. These conclusions merit investigation of support systems for trainees and evaluating best practices moving forward.

    Abstract Introduction: Statins are among the most widely prescribed medications with proven effectiveness in patients with hyperlipidemia and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. We investigated the relationship between statin use, metabolic and cardiovascular outcomes after burn.
    Methods: We utilized data from the TriNetX electronic health database. Burn patients with prior statin use were compared to patients without prior use and analyzed the occurrence of metabolic and cardiovascular disorders.
    Results: Prior statin use burn patients were 1.33 times as likely to develop hyperglycemia, 1.20 times for cardiac arrhythmia, 1.70 times for coronary artery disease (CAD), 1.10 times for sepsis, and 0.80 times for death. High percent TBSA burn, male sex, and lipophilic statin use were associated with higher odds of outcome development.
    Conclusion: Prior statin use in severely burned patients is associated with an increased risk of developing hyperglycemia, arrhythmias, and CAD, with higher odds in males, higher TBSA burn, and lipophilic statin users.

    Abstract Background: In the advent of increasing antibiotic resistance, several studies sought to determine antibiotic prescription trends; however, no pattern has been firmly identified particularly for the burned population. We performed a query of burned patients in a large established database to understand differences in antibiotic use related to patient-specific factors.
    Methods: Burned patients with systemic antibiotics given within 7 days of injury were identified on the TriNetX database. The patient population was stratified by age, 1-year time intervals of antibiotic prescription from 2004 to 2019, time of antibiotic prescription in 1-day intervals after injury, and % TBSA burned in 10% intervals ranging from < 10% to > 90%. Data were analyzed using χ
    Results: Stratification by age revealed higher use of antibiotics in older burned patients compared to younger patients. Surprisingly, 87.6% of burn patients of those who received antibiotic therapy was on the day of injury. Penicillins and beta-lactam antimicrobials were used most often at a frequency of 64%. No statistically significant differences in rates of antibiotic therapy were observed in burned patients when stratified by %TBSA burned.
    Conclusions: The study elucidates current patterns of antibiotic use in burn care in the United States, allowing for improved understanding of both past and present patterns of antibiotic prescription.
