Increasing Patient Awareness And Education Surrounding Prescription Weight Loss Medications, Anirudh A. Hirve
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Obesity is a growing problem in the United States. While it remains important for clinicians to emphasize health supportive behaviors including dietary modification and exercise when counseling patients, the advent of new weight loss medications has created a need for patient education materials regarding these interventions for a growing number of patients who request them at primary care visits. This project created a smart phrase in the electronic medical record summarizing weight loss medications currently available on the market to transform patient counseling and enable better shared decision making between patients and providers.

Quality Improvement Project: Compliance Of Antenatal Testing In Patients With Class Iii Obesity, Isabella L. Sciacca, Timothy Kremer, Nicole Tenzel
North Texas Research Forum 2024
The prevalence of obesity in women of reproductive age (20 to 39) in the US is 39.7%. It has been estimated that one-quarter of pregnancy complications are attributable to maternal obesity. Comprehensive prenatal care is imperative to achieving positive health outcomes. This quality improvement (QI) initiative aimed to improve antenatal fetal surveillance rates in patients with class III obesity. Evidence based interventions to test fetal wellbeing were implemented and examined over a 7 month time period to evaluate physician compliance of the standard of care for antenatal surveillance starting at 34 weeks gestation. Following implementation of this initiative, compliance with …

Weighty Words: Addressing Weight Bias In Primary Care, Jharna Jahnavi
Weighty Words: Addressing Weight Bias In Primary Care, Jharna Jahnavi
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Weight bias in healthcare impacts a great proportion of patients. In some ways, weight bias often goes unaddressed compared to other forms of discrimination and spans across diverse groups of people resulting a double burden of bias in patients with intersecting marginalized identities. It is essential that providers and healthcare workers are better trained in building inclusivity for patients of all weights and body types to improve healthcare access and acceptance. Patients who experience weight bias in the office are less likely to return for routine preventative care and less likely to feel safe and comfortable with their providers. This …

INTRODUCTION
Body mass index (BMI) ≥ the 85th percentile for age and sex is considered overweight in the pediatric population. Pediatric obesity is defined as a BMI at or above the 95th percentile. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), obesity prevalence has tripled over the past 50 years; 1 in 5 school-aged children has a diagnosis of obesity. The purpose of this study is to survey caregivers’ perceptions and concerns about their child’s weight and patient and caregiver interest in a comprehensive healthy lifestyle program.

INTRODUCTION
Several research studies have identified a positive correlation between obesity and specific receptor statuses in breast cancer, including ER-positive, PR-positive, and HER2-positive breast cancers. However, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in particular has not been studied in relation to body mass index (BMI), which suggests that an analysis of triple-negative breast cancer and its relation to obesity is warranted. This study aims to analyze the association between triple-negative breast cancer and BMI through a retrospective analysis in order to further guide patient counseling about TNBC risk factors.

Preoperative Weight Loss For Patients Undergoing Lumbar Spine Surgery Utilizing Motivational Interviewing To Decrease Postoperative Complications: A Quality Improvement Project, Amanda Welle
Nursing Posters
Do patients who are obese, based on BMI>30 and are offered lumbar spine surgery, who undergo preoperative MI via telehealth to lose weight, compared to those who don’t undergo MI have decreased postoperative complications at 30 days postoperatively?
Conclusions/Implications:
- Results from this QI project suggest a higher BMI class is associated with postoperative complications-wound infection.
- However, given the small sample size no conclusions could be drawn
- This QI project should be replicated on a larger scale
- The process for recruitment and intervention is established. The Neurosurgical providers are supportive of the continued study.
