Unmasking The Silent Killer To Heart Health: An Evaluation Of Cardiometabolic Risk And Screening In Outpatient Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation, Luxshmi Nageswaran
Undergraduate Student Research Internships Conference
Objective: 1) Determine the prevalence of cardiometabolic disease (CMD) risk factors in Canadian outpatients with spinal cord injury or disease (SCI/D); and 2) Augment CMD screening practices to reflect evidence-based guidelines using quality improvement initiatives.
Design: Chart audit of consecutive outpatients with SCI/D assessed after discharge from Parkwood Institute between October 2020 to December 2021 (n=78). Data collected included presence of and evidence-based screening for 4 CMD risk factors – obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus. Definitions for presence of these 4 CMD risk factors were established using clinical practice guidelines for persons with SCI/D.
Results: All CMD risk …

Investigating Adherence To Screening Guidelines For Cardiometabolic Disease In Persons With Spinal Cord Injury At The Parkwood Institute Outpatient Clinic, Luxshmi Nageswaran
Undergraduate Student Research Internships Conference
Persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) are at an increased risk of developing cardiometabolic disease (CMD) and related complications. To address this, the Paralyzed Veterans of America released a set of clinical practice guidelines with screening recommendations for CMD risk factors such as dyslipidemia, hypertension, obesity, and diabetes.
Clinical data indicated that 25 patients out of a total of 48 (52%) are at an increased risk of developing cardiometabolic disease, as defined as having three or more risk factors present. In addition, a review of 30 intake forms from the Parkwood Institute Outpatient Clinic showed that hypertension and weight screenings …

Undergraduate Student Research Internships Conference
This study aims to compare the experiences of healthcare workers and lawyers engaging in remote work during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research poster presents a content analysis of the current research on the experiences of professions in the two fields mentioned above. In engaging in content analysis, the study advances a select number of thematic value codes that effectively characterize the similarities and differences between the two professions. With these thematic values codes, it has been found that the healthcare profession and law profession have had a similar experience working from home. With these similarities and differences, one can propose …
