IMPORTANCE: Differences in neighborhood socioeconomic characteristics are important considerations in understanding differences in risk vs resilience in mental health. Neighborhood disadvantage is associated with alterations in the function and structure of threat neurocircuitry.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate associations of neighborhood disadvantage with white and gray matter and neural reactivity to positive and negative stimuli in the context of trauma exposure.

DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: In this cross-sectional study, survivors of trauma who completed sociodemographic and posttraumatic symptom assessments and neuroimaging were recruited as part of the Advancing Understanding of Recovery After Trauma (AURORA) study between September 2017 and June 2021. Data …

BACKGROUND: Retrograde approach technique has been challenging in percutaneous coronary interventional treatment of chronic total occlusion (CTO) coronary disease. The present study endeavors to determine a novel Chinese scoring system for predicting successful collateral channels traverse via retrograde approach.

METHODS: The demographic characteristics and angiographic characteristics of 309 CTO patient were analyzed by univariable and multivariable analysis for selecting potential predictors. And the nomogram was used to establish the scoring system. Then it was evaluated by the internal and external validation.

RESULTS: The predictors of Age, Connections between collateral channels and recipient vessels, and Channel Tortuosity (ACT) were identified with …

Intolerance Of Uncertainty And Attitudes Towards Persons Living With Disabilities In Medical Students: Is There A Correlation?, Martinique Ogle, Dimitrios Papanagnou, Md, Kestrel Reopelle, Frances Rusnack, Jordan Feingold-Link, Maria Poluch, Nethra S. Ankam

Department of Emergency Medicine Faculty Papers

INTRODUCTION: Patients living with a disability experience an illness trajectory that may be uncertain. While navigating clinical uncertainty has been well-researched, health professionals' intolerance of uncertainty for patients living with disabilities has yet to be explored. We examined the relationship between medical students' intolerance of uncertainty with their attitudes towards people living with disabilities to better inform curricular efforts.

METHODS: We employed a survey-based design consisting of the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS) and Disability Attitudes in Healthcare (DAHC) Scale to medical students upon completion of core clerkships (end of third-year of training). Data were de-identified. Mean DAHC and IUS …

OBJECTIVES: Although COVID-19 vaccines offer protection against infection and severe disease, there is limited information on the effect of vaccination on prolonged symptoms following COVID-19. Our objective was to determine differences in prevalence of prolonged symptoms 6 weeks after onset of COVID-19 among healthcare personnel (HCP) by vaccination status, and to assess differences in timing of return to work.

DESIGN: Cohort analysis of HCP with COVID-19 enrolled in a multicentre vaccine effectiveness study. HCP with COVID-19 between December 2020 and August 2021 were followed up 6 weeks after illness onset.

SETTING: Health systems in 12 US states.

PARTICIPANTS: HCP participating …

Sorting Through Life: Evaluating Patient-Important Measures Of Success In A Medication For Opioid Use Disorder (Moud) Treatment Program, Megan K Reed, Kelsey R Smith, Francesca Ciocco, Richard W. Hass, Avery Lin Cox, Erin L Kelly, Lara Weinstein

Department of Emergency Medicine Faculty Papers

Background: Medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) is the gold standard treatment for opioid use disorder. Traditionally, "success" in MOUD treatment is measured in terms of program retention, adherence to MOUD, and abstinence from opioid and other drug use. While clinically meaningful, these metrics may overlook other aspects of the lives of people with opioid use disorder (OUD) and surprisingly do not reflect the diagnostic criteria for OUD.

Methods: Authors identified items for a pilesorting task to identify participant-driven measures of MOUD treatment success through semi-structured interviews. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and coded in Nvivo using directed and conventional content …

Use Of Serial Smartphone-Based Assessments To Characterize Diverse Neuropsychiatric Symptom Trajectories In A Large Trauma Survivor Cohort, Francesca L Beaudoin, Xinming An, Archana Basu, Yinyao Ji, Mochuan Liu, Ronald C Kessler, Robert F Doughtery, Donglin Zeng, Kenneth A Bollen, Stacey L House, Jennifer S Stevens, Thomas C Neylan, Gari D Clifford, Tanja Jovanovic, Sarah D Linnstaedt, Laura T Germine, Scott L Rauch, John P Haran, Alan B Storrow, Christopher Lewandowski, Paul I Musey, Phyllis L Hendry, Sophia Sheikh, Christopher W Jones, Brittany E Punches, Michael C Kurz, Robert A Swor, Vishnu P Murty, Meghan E Mcgrath, Lauren A Hudak, Jose L Pascual, Elizabeth M Datner, Anna Marie Chang, Claire Pearson, David A Peak, Roland C Merchant, Robert M Domeier, Niels K Rathlev, Brian J O' Neil, Paulina Sergot, Leon D Sanchez, Steven E Bruce, Justin T Baker, Jutta Joormann, Mark W Miller, Robert H Pietrzak, Deanna M Barch, Diego A Pizzagalli, John F Sheridan, Jordan W Smoller, Steven E Harte, James M Elliott, Karestan C Koenen, Kerry J Ressler, Samuel A Mclean

The authors sought to characterize adverse posttraumatic neuropsychiatric sequelae (APNS) symptom trajectories across ten symptom domains (pain, depression, sleep, nightmares, avoidance, re-experiencing, anxiety, hyperarousal, somatic, and mental/fatigue symptoms) in a large, diverse, understudied sample of motor vehicle collision (MVC) survivors. More than two thousand MVC survivors were enrolled in the emergency department (ED) and completed a rotating battery of brief smartphone-based surveys over a 2-month period. Measurement models developed from survey item responses were used in latent growth curve/mixture modeling to characterize homogeneous symptom trajectories. Associations between individual trajectories and pre-trauma and peritraumatic characteristics and traditional outcomes were compared, along …
