    Abstract Background: Surveillance of burnout by the gold-standard Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) is hindered by cost and length. The validity and benchmarking of the commonly recommended and used single-item burnout question (SIBOQ) are unknown. We sought to (1) derive an equation for predicting the gold standard MBI from the SIBOQ and (2) measure the correlation of the SIBOQ with the full MBI and its subscales.
    Methods: We sought studies in PubMed along with citations by and to included studies. We included studies that either correlated the SIBOQ and the MBI or reported the rates of burnout measured by both instruments. Two reviewers extracted data and CLARITY risk of bias. We used generalized linear mixed regression to separately quantify the predictive (benchmarking) and explanatory (hot-spotting) capabilities of the SIBOQ. We created a regression equation for converting SIBOQ scores to MBI scores. We meta-analyzed correlation coefficients (r) for the SIBOQ and MBI subscales. For all analyses, we considered an r of 0.7 as acceptable reliability for group-level comparisons.
    Results: We included 17 studies reporting 6788 respondents. All studies had a high risk of bias, as no study had a response rate over 75% and no study was able to examine non-responders. The correlations (r) of the SIBOQ with the overall MBI were explanatory r = 0.82 and predictive r = 0.56. Regarding MBI subscales, the correlations of the SIBOQ with emotional exhaustion were adequate with r = 0.71 (95% CI 0.67-0.74; I
    Discussion: The SIBOQ's usually adequate explanatory abilities allow "hot-spotting" to identify subgroups with high or low burnout within a single, homogenous survey fielding. However, the predictive ability of the SIBOQ indicates insufficient reliability in comparing local results to external benchmarks.

    Abstract Introduction: Overuse injuries such as tendinosis are a common complaint at sports medicine clinics. When conservative management for tendinosis has failed, ultrasound-guided tendon fenestration and injection procedures, such as dry needling, needling tenotomy, autologous whole blood injections, and prolotherapy, can be utilized for treatment. This study examined the effectiveness of these procedures for pain improvement and ability to return to activity for patients with tendinosis.
    Methods: This study involved a chart review of patients 15 years or older who underwent at least one treatment for tendinosis at a sports medicine clinic between January 1, 2014 and April 17, 2019. Eligible patients had at least one of the following procedures: 1) percutaneous dry needling, 2) percutaneous needle tenotomy, 3) autologous whole blood injection, and/or 4) prolotherapy. A Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code query was used to screen patient charts for study inclusion.
    Results: In total, 680 patients' data were reviewed, and 343 patients met inclusion criteria. Patients underwent a total of 598 unique procedures. Dry needling represented most procedures (62.8%, n = 375). Most patients reported diminished pain at follow up (73.0%, n = 268). Prolotherapy had the highest percentage among the follow up patients reporting diminished pain (81.0%, n = 17). Most patients were able to return to activity at follow-up (47.4%, n = 172). A greater proportion of patients with autologous whole blood injection were able to return to activity (60.7%, n = 85).
    Conclusions: Most patients with tendinosis who underwent tendon fenestration or injection procedures reported diminished pain at follow-up. Autologous whole blood injection may be more likely to diminish patient pain and allow return to activity than other procedure types. More research is needed across all anatomical sites to compare the generalized effectiveness of these procedures.

    Abstract Introduction: Little is known about the prevalence of elevated alkaline phosphatase in post-bariatric surgery patients due to under-utilization of this test after surgery. Elevated alkaline phosphatase levels are caused by hepatobiliary disease or bone resorption, which can lead to gallstones and osteoporosis. Early, post-operative measurement of alkaline phosphatase can prevent complications, thus reducing morbidity and overall healthcare costs. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of elevated alkaline phosphatase levels among post-operative bariatric surgery patients.
    Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients 18 years or older, who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) at a Midwestern Weight Management Clinic between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2020. Alkaline phosphatase levels, weight, body mass index (BMI), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcitriol, and calcitonin, vitamin D and multivitamin supplementation were measured at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months post-surgery.
    Results: Two hundred thirty patients with mean age of 47 years and BMI of 44.6 were included with 80.9% (n = 186) female. Alkaline phosphatase was elevated relative to baseline for 36.1% of patients (n = 52) at 3 months post-surgery, 42.4% of patients (n = 56) at 6 months, and 43.3% of patients (n = 45) at 12 months (p < 0.001). There were six cases of documented cholelithiasis post-surgery.
    Conclusion: A significant proportion of participants experienced elevations in alkaline phosphatase following surgery, indicating that the prevalence of gallbladder pathology and bone resorption may be higher than previously thought. This merits additional investigation into these complications post-operatively to determine prevalence and avoid excess morbidity.

    Abstract Introduction: By 2050, more than 580,000 children in the United States will be diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Management of T1D requires careful and continuous intervention, and children with T1D experience unique challenges in disease management compared to their adult counterparts. Diabetes camps are designed to help those with T1D learn diabetes management skills while experiencing summer camp. Psychological aspects are not addressed explicitly in diabetes camps located in Kansas. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychological state of past campers and camp counselors from one diabetes camp in Kansas.
    Methods: Campers and counselors, all of whom had T1D, and attended diabetes camp from 2015 to 2019 in Kansas were recruited to complete a survey about diabetes-related stress, diabetes management self-efficacy, and symptoms of depression. A link to the online survey was distributed to previous campers and counselors by email and through Facebook.
    Results: A total of 24 camp counselors and 10 campers were surveyed, 100% of whom reported having T1D and attending camp at least once. One-third of respondents (n = 8) reported having severe diabetes-related stress, and 100% (n = 34) reported high levels of diabetes management self-efficacy. Most participants reported moderate levels of depression, and 9% (n = 3) reported a past suicide attempt. These results suggested a relatively high prevalence in signs of psychological distress from former campers and camp counselors with T1D.
    Conclusions: This study suggested that campers and counselors with T1D have high levels of diabetes-related stress, high diabetes management self-efficacy, and many signs of depression.

    Abstract Introduction: Pregnancy-related mortality in the United States occurs in 32.3 per 100,000 live births. Rural maternal mortality rates were even higher, and these patients were less likely to receive routine care. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to compare primary and prenatal care and health behaviors among perinatal mothers living in rural and urban Kansas.
    Methods: Data were collected from 1,971 pregnant women who participated in Phase 8 Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) for Kansas between 2016 and 2018. Respondent location (urban or rural based on NIH classification) was abstracted from birth certificates and frequencies of healthcare visits and secondary healthcare variables were compared.
    Results: Most respondents (75.1%, n = 1,481) resided in an urban area. Most (84.4%, n = 1,664) women were Caucasian, and the largest category (31.1%, n = 613) was 25 to 29 years old. More urban women reported visiting an obstetrician/gynecologist within 12 months before pregnancy than rural women (p < 0.0001). Urban women reported attending pre-pregnancy dental visits (p = 0.019) and teeth cleanings (p = 0.004) more than rural women. Of the 35.7% of respondents (n = 516) who reported receiving pre-pregnancy counseling on folic acid, prenatal vitamins, or multivitamins, 78.9% (n = 407) resided in an urban area.
    Conclusions: Rural women reported fewer routine primary and prenatal care behaviors compared to their urban counterparts. Efforts are needed to improve access to obstetrician/gynecologist services, especially for women in rural areas.

    Abstract Introduction: There have been many efforts to combat the United States opioid crisis that has been occurring for the past two decades, specifically with postpartum patients that often were prescribed opioids. Prior studies described how accounting for usage of inpatient opioids on the day prior to discharge had an impact on how much discharge opioids were prescribed on the day of discharge. These studies provided a guideline to use the inpatient opioid amount from the day before discharge to determine discharge opioid quantity and minimize how much was being prescribed. In July 2018, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists (ACOG) published Committee Opinion 742, guidelines for obstetricians-gynecologists about post-partum pain management. Prescription pain medications (including opioids, if necessary) require a shared decision-making approach between the physician and patient to determine the medication type and quantity. This study aimed to determine if there were differences in prescribing practices based on the specific post-operative day that opioid prescriptions were written, and if there were differences in the prescribing practices for cesarean deliveries following the publication of ACOG Committee Opinion 742.
    Methods: This retrospective chart review included patients who had a live cesarean birth at one rural Midwest facility anytime between July 1, 2017 and February 28, 2021. This study excluded those with chorioamnionitis and those discharged after more than four days. Opioid amounts were converted to oral morphine milligram equivalents (MME) for comparison, and total MME was calculated for each prescription. Patients were stratified into two groups based on the day that their discharge opioid medication prescriptions were written (i.e., a day prior to discharge or the day of discharge). Patients were also stratified based on date of delivery, before or after the publication of ACOG Committee Opinion 742.
    Results: Of 411 cesarean patients, 93.9% (n = 386) had opioids prescribed at discharge, 86% (n = 330) of whom received a prescription written on the day of discharge. There was no difference in the quantity of MMEs, doses per day, or dosage from discharge prescriptions between those written on the day of discharge and those written on a prior day. Patients whose deliveries occurred after the publication of ACOG Committee Opinion 742 (63.9%, n = 263) received discharge prescriptions with fewer average MMEs (159.53 ± 61.64) than those whose deliveries occurred before the publication (36%, n = 148; 187.35 ± 53.42; χ
    Conclusions: After cesarean sections, the specific post-operative day did not seem to impact the prescribing trends as there were no differences in MMEs, doses per day, or dosage between prescriptions that were written on the day of discharge and before the day of discharge. Patients whose deliveries occurred after the publication of ACOG Committee Opinion 742 received discharge prescriptions with fewer MMEs, fewer doses per day, and the same dosage than those whose deliveries occurred before the publication, reflecting the overall national trend of decreasing prescription opioids over these years.

    Abstract Introduction: Modern laboratory techniques cannot differentiate between
    Methods: At AVCH, the three study periods were compared: baseline with algorithm training only, the EMR intervention, and the EMR intervention with additional phone calls (EMR with phone calls). Data were abstracted from the hospital EMR.
    Results: A total of 311 charts were reviewed. Adherence to the algorithm increased from 34% at baseline to 52% after the EMR intervention (p = 0.010). During the EMR with phone calls period, more tests were discontinued (87%; n = 39) compared to baseline (54%; n = 15) and EMR (54%; n = 15; p = 0.003). The HO-CDI rate ranged from 8.5 cases per 10,000 patient-days at baseline, to 7.9 during EMR, to 4.0 during EMR with phone calls (p = 0.007).
    Conclusions: The EMR and EMR with phone call interventions were associated with a significant decrease in the HO-CDI rate and an increase in provider adherence to the algorithm.

    Abstract Introduction Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use has many potential effects, including damage to the skin. Limited research has assessed e-cigarette use with the incidence of nonmelanoma skin cancer. The current study was conducted to determine if a relationship exists between nonmelanoma skin cancer diagnosis and e-cigarette use among US adults. Methods Data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) were used to assess if a relationship exists between e-cigarette use and the diagnosis of nonmelanoma skin cancer. Data within the sample adult files for years 2014 through 2018, along with the adult cancer file for the year 2015, were analyzed. Participants who reported having a diagnosis of nonmelanoma skin cancer were included. Participants who reported never being diagnosed with any type of cancer were included as a comparison group. Results Males and those of older age were significantly more likely to be diagnosed with nonmelanoma skin cancer compared to females and younger adults. Cigarette use was significantly associated with an increased risk of nonmelanoma skin cancer. There was no relationship between e-cigarette use and diagnosis of nonmelanoma skin cancer. Conclusions Although the current study did not find an association between e-cigarette use and nonmelanoma skin cancer diagnosis, a longer study period and larger sample size may more clearly determine if an association exists.

    Abstract Introduction: Combustible cigarette use is associated with an increased risk of several cardiovascular diseases; however, less is known about associations between these cardiovascular conditions and electronic cigarette use.
    Methods: This study investigated relationships between electronic and/or combustible cigarette use and diagnoses of cardiovascular diseases using the National Health Interview Survey from 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2018.
    Results: Compared to non-users, dual users of electronic and combustible cigarettes had increased likelihood of having prior diagnoses of hypertension (OR 1.660, 95% CI = 1.519-1.814), stroke (OR 2.396, 95% CI = 2.011-2.855), diabetes mellitus (OR 1.219, 95% CI = 1.108-1.341), coronary artery disease (OR 2.211, 95% CI = 1.837-2.660), and myocardial infarction (OR 3.839, 95% CI = 3.232-4.560). Exclusive use of electronic cigarettes was associated with an increased likelihood of having hypertension compared to non-users (OR 1.244, 95% CI = 1.048-1.477).
    Conclusions: There were no differences in diagnoses of stroke, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, or myocardial infarction among exclusive electronic cigarette users compared to non-users; however, these associations could change as young electronic cigarette users with hypertension age, indicating the need for continued research.
