  • Statewide Inferior Vena Cava Filter Placement, Complications, and Retrievals

    Resmi A Charalel, Jeremy C Durack et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2018References: 17

    BACKGROUND: Public awareness of inferior vena cava (IVC) filter-related controversies has been elevated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) safety communication in 2010. OBJECTIVES: To examine population level trends in IVC filter utilization, complications, retrieval rates, and subsequent pulmonary embolism (PE) risk. DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study. SUBJECTS: Patients receiving IVC filters during 2005-2014 in New York State. MEASURES…

  • Hospital Readmission and Length of Stay Over Time in Patients Undergoing Major Cardiovascular and Orthopedic Surgery

    Art Sedrakyan, Hooman Kamel et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2016References: 10

    BACKGROUND: Readmission and length of stay (LOS) are increasingly accepted as quality measures for surgical care. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will soon assess penalties for excessive readmissions after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and hip and knee replacements. OBJECTIVE: To determine and compare population level changes in LOS and relationship with 30-day readmission over time for patients undergoing CABG and hip and …

  • Implementing Unique Device Identification in Electronic Health Record Systems

    Thomas R Campion, Stephen B Johnson et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2014References: 18

    BACKGROUND: The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has proposed creating a unique device identification (UDI) system for medical devices to facilitate postmarket surveillance, quality improvement, and other applications. Although a small number of health care institutions have implemented initiatives comparable with the proposed UDI system by capturing data in electronic health record (EHR) systems, it is unknown whether institution…

  • A Framework for Evidence Evaluation and Methodological Issues in Implantable Device Studies

    Art Sedrakyan, Danica Marinac-Dabic et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2010References: 29

    Implantable medical devices (IMD) are frequently used in interventional medicine. There are a host of complex methodological issues to consider in conducting device studies. A general conceptual framework for evidence evaluation is needed to help investigators conduct comparative studies in this setting. It is known that clinical trials of implants require study design planning and creative execution that are quite different from those in pharmac…

  • Rethinking Analytical Strategies for Surveillance of Medical Devices

    Sharon‐Lise T Normand, Sharon-Lise Normand et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2010References: 14

    BACKGROUND: Randomized trials that sometimes serve as the basis for device approval are small, short term, and generalizable to an increasingly smaller percentage of patients. Some of the most common and challenging devices are those used in hip replacement. Artificial hips are implanted in thousands to alleviate pain caused by noninflammatory joint disease and to restore patient mobility. During 2004 in the United States, although 68% of hospita…
