Closing The Gap: Standardizing Sepsis Management To Address Racial Disparities Across Oregon Providence Hospitals, Jennifer Wong, Do, Shelley Schoepflin Sanders, Md, Facp
Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.
Introduction: Sepsis is a time-sensitive, life-threatening medical emergency affecting approximately 1.7 million adults annually in the United States, contributing to nearly 270,000 deaths and over $24 billion in healthcare expenditures. Delays in recognition and initiation of treatment can significantly increase mortality. Previous studies have identified persistent racial disparities in sepsis care, including lower rates of recognition as the principal diagnosis and delayed antibiotic initiation for Black patients compared with White patients. In alignment with Providence’s mission to provide compassionate, equitable care, Oregon Providence hospitals implemented a standardized “Sepsis Order Set” in all Emergency Departments (ED) to reduce treatment delays and …

Idiopathic Systemic Capillary Leak Syndrome With Shock And Compartment Syndrome Due To Influenza A, Jobe Ashby, Md, Katelyn Bobrowski, Do, Ryan Best, Md
Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.
INTRODUCTION: Idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome (ISCLS) is a rare, poorly understood condition that leads to extreme pathology with severe but predictable complications. First described in 1960, ISCLS has been identified in about 260 case reports and is marked by a triad of hypotension, hypoalbuminemia, and hemoconcentration often preceded by upper respiratory tract infection. It is divided into distinct phases of prodrome, extravasation, and recovery. We present a case of a middle-aged woman who presented with influenza A infection and developed ISCLS needing ICU level care for shock and bilateral upper extremity compartment syndrome. DESCRIPTION: Our patient is a 49-year-old …

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.
Introduction: Sepsis accounts for 52% of hospital admissions in the United States and is the leading cause of death among hospitalized patients1 . However, disparity exists among sepsis survivors with race being reported as a determinant of recovery2 . Such disparity exists in Providence Oregon 8 hospitals: Providence Black patients have higher sepsis readmission rates than White (12.93% vs 11.65%). Using modified community-based participatory research, data analysis, and stakeholder interviews, we identified one potential root cause of the disparity: Black patients being readmitted are not receiving our system's Transitional Care Management (TCM) services. We aim to eliminate the Black/White sepsis …

Abstract: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a systemic autoimmune disorder, classically presents with joint pain and prolonged morning stiffness. Extra-articular pulmonary manifestations are frequently observed but can be the primary initial presentation. We present a case of a women with chronic RA in remission who presented with shortness of breath and was found to have new RA-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD). A 74-year-old female with a history of rheumatoid arthritis in remission, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and recent admission for septic shock presented with progressive dyspnea and hypoxia. Initial vitals noted an oxygen saturation in the low 80s. CT pulmonary angiography excluded …
Ofatumumab Associated Legionella Pneumonia In A Young Multiple Sclerosis Patient, Jobe Ashby, Omar Panhair
Ofatumumab Associated Legionella Pneumonia In A Young Multiple Sclerosis Patient, Jobe Ashby, Omar Panhair
Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.
Ofatumumab is the only anti-CD20 IgG1κ human monoclonal antibody therapy for relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) that patients can self-administer subcutaneously. Anti-CD20 agents are biologic therapies that carry an increased risk of serious infections, but rarely Legionellosis. We present the case of a young man taking ofatumumab for his MS who developed Legionella pneumoniae pneumonia. A 30-year-old man with MS diagnosed two years prior, stable on ofatumumab, presented with fevers, cough, and hemoptysis. A week earlier, he developed fevers and myalgias after administering ofatumumab, but these symptoms persisted longer than usual. Though initial vital signs were normal, he appeared …
The Power Of Two Questions: A Simplified Approach To Delirium Detection, Dalton Vanderpol, Md, Laura Perry, Shelley Schoepflin Sanders
The Power Of Two Questions: A Simplified Approach To Delirium Detection, Dalton Vanderpol, Md, Laura Perry, Shelley Schoepflin Sanders
Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.
Background: Delirium affects one-third of general medical patients aged 70 or older. Patients with older age, preexisting dementia, or cognitive impairment are at increased risk of developing delirium. Delirium is associated with increased length of stay, mortality, transfer to skilled nursing facilities, and costs. Although the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) is a validated tool for delirium, its sensitivity can be low when administered by nurses because of its subjective nature and the need for formal training. The Ultra Brief Confusion Assessment Method (UB-CAM) is an objective, two-question test administered in 30-35 seconds compared to 5-10 minutes for CAM. The objective …

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.
Introduction: Acute chest syndrome (ACS) is a severe complication of sickle cell disease. Rarely, it may progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Inability to oxygenate despite mechanical ventilation necessitates consideration of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Case Summary: A 31-year-old man with sickle cell disease presented with low back pain similar to prior pain crises. Vital signs were normal, and his hemoglobin level was 10.2 g/dL, with a reticulocyte index of 0.05. He was admitted for pain control and rehydration. That night, he developed fever, tachypnea, and hypoxemia with imaging showing a right lower lobe infiltrate, consistent with ACS. He …

Looking Past The Portal: A Hidden Origin Of Ascites, Paige Ruh, Do, Claudia Leonard, Md
Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.
Introduction: The most common cause of ascites is portal hypertension secondary to cirrhosis and accounts for nearly 75% of cases. In contrast, pancreatic ascites is a rare presentation of ascites and occurs in less than 1% of patients. Because of its low prevalence, pancreatic ascites is often excluded from the initial differential diagnosis and rarely assessed in ascitic fluid analysis. This is a case in which pancreatic ascites was considered and ultimately confirmed based on the overall clinical picture, challenging the initial assumption of portal hypertension and cirrhosis. Case Presentation: A 47-year-old man with ongoing alcohol use disorder presented to …

Enhancing Gestational Diabetes Screening, Sataj Johnson, Daniel Ruegg
Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.
Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) screening is recommended between 24–28 weeks of gestation to allow timely diagnosis and treatment and reduce adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. The two-step glucose tolerance testing method is supported by ACOG, though completion can be delayed due to the need for multiple tests. In 2024 at Providence Milwaukie Family Medicine Clinic, incomplete GDM screening occurred in 23.1% of patients, and incomplete two-step screening occurred in 33.3%, with an average completion time of 12 days. Objective: To increase completion rates of two-step GDM screening and reduce time between abnormal 1-hour and diagnostic 3-hour glucose tolerance tests …

Background: DPV-001 is an off-the-shelf cancer vaccine containing tumor associated proteins commonly overexpressed in adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. It is enriched for short-lived proteins (SLiPs) and defective ribosomal products (DRiPs), including both canonical and non-canonical (or “dark matter”) antigens —comprising over 100 identified non-canonical microproteins. These antigens are delivered in spectrin-coated microvesicles that contain 5 TLR/ NOD agonists and 15DAMPs/molecular chaperones, and target CLEC9A+ conventional dendritic cells (cDCs). Preclinical models showed enhanced antitumor responses when the murine analog of DPV-001 (DRibbles) was combined with co -stimulatory agonists. Additional studies showed enhanced antitumor responses when co-stimulatory agonists were combined with …

Background: Managing hypertension in ambulatory settings is becoming increasingly challenging, often competing with other visit priorities. “White coat hypertension” remains a key consideration when considering initiating or increasing anti-hypertensives. Blood pressure may be transiently elevated on initial screening and improve on recheck. Problem: In our clinic, only ~55% of patients were at goal, defined as BP < 140/90 at last office visit. • < 50% of patients received serial recheck after identifying an elevated reading. • 43% of same-day rechecks were < 140/90. Aim: Enhance hypertension management using low-cost, easy to implement interventions. Results: Process was examined iteratively, starting with a yellow card that was placed on the door to alert clinicians to the need to recheck blood pressure before discharge. This was continually refined based on staff feedback. Visual cues prompted more frequent rechecks by rooming staff, increasing the rate of those with elevated initial reading who had serial recheck from 48% to 69%, a net increase of 21%. Improvement was seen in clinic-wide blood pressure control, with the percentage of patients with a blood pressure < 140/90 at most recent office visit increasing from 55.7% to 66.6% after 1 year. This represented a net increase of 10.9%. Discussion: Visual cues in the exam room were effective at alerting clinicians for the need for serial BP recheck. These were most-effective when they were “eye catching”. PharmD visits were effective at creating a visit to focus solely on hypertension management, thereby eliminating competing interests that may dominate office visits with their primary care provider. These paired interventions were surprisingly effective at halting clinical inertia and ultimately led to more effective management of hypertension clinic-wide. Team-based EMR messaging was particularly helpful as an adjunct for coordinating timing of blood pressure rechecks. In a residency setting, this can be performed while ‘staffing’ with a faculty physician. Limitations: Current guidelines identify blood pressures >130/80 as hypertensive. This study utilizes 140/90 as a cutoff. Frequency of blood pressure rechecks highly variable based on available support staff. May place strain on support staff when short staffed. PharmD involvement may not be available in every setting

When Jaundice Isn’T Just The Liver’S Fault: A Chilly Case Of Cold Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia, Jennifer Wong, Do, Shahana Baig-Lewis, Md, Mph
Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.
Introduction: Cold agglutinin disease (CAD), a subtype of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), is characterized by IgM autoantibodies that target red blood cell antigens at low temperatures, leading to agglutination in cooler peripheral tissues and hemolysis. Predominately directed against the “I” or “i” antigens, cold agglutinins are commonly associated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae and infectious mononucleosis. Distinguishing warm AIHA from CAD can be challenging. Definitive diagnosis relies on antibody testing, with warm AIHA primarily involving IgG and CAD involving IgM. We report a case of CAD initially misattributed to drug-induced liver injury in the setting of a viral upper respiratory infection. Case …

An Exploration Of Drivers Of Sepsis Outcomes In Racial And Ethnic Minority Populations, Matthew Moritz, Omar Pandhair, Shelley Schoepflin Sanders
Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.
RATIONALE: Race and ethnicity affect sepsis outcomes in unclear ways. Existing data is conflicting, with some studies suggesting minority patients do worse, while others did not show a difference in outcomes between these groups. We sought to investigate whether inequalities exist in sepsis outcomes for different racial and ethnic groups in our large hospital system and to characterize how they may manifest. METHODS: We performed a retrospective cohort study of adults diagnosed with sepsis and discharged from any of Providence’s 52 hospitals between January 1 and December 31, 2023. We grouped patients into ten different race/ethnicity groups including White, Black, …

A Case Of Sweet Syndrome In A Patient With Myelodysplastic Syndrome, Malia’Ka Hall, Do, Elizabeth Hutshinson, Md
Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.
Introduction: Sweet syndrome, also known as acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, is a rare inflammatory disorder characterized by the abrupt onset of high fevers and exquisitely tender, erythematous skin lesions that may appear on virtually any area of the body. These lesions typically manifest as papules, nodules, or plaques and often evolve rapidly, contributing to the dramatic clinical presentation. Although uncommon—with only several hundred cases documented in the literature—Sweet syndrome remains an important diagnostic consideration due to its distinctive combination of cutaneous findings and systemic symptoms, as well as its potential association with underlying malignancy, infection, or medication exposure. Presentation: A …

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.
Background: Incidence of anti-HER2 cardiotoxicity varies widely from 3-30%. Baseline cardiac risk factors can drastically affect an individual's risk of cardiotoxicity while on anti-HER2 therapies. Risk stratification calculators like the HFA-ICOS tool can estimate relative risk of cardiotoxicity based on preceding risk factors. High risk factors: Heart failure (HF), CAD, severe valvular heart disease. Mild-moderate risk factors: HTN, DM, CKD, age 65-79, anthracycline use, arrhythmia, smoking history, BMI>30. De-intensified surveillance has been proposed for low-risk patients. Objective: Characterize incidence and predictors of cardiotoxicity in a real world population of early-stage breast cancer patients receiving anti-HER2 therapies. Evaluate incidence of …
