Demographics Of Periprosthetic Joint Infection Rates, Katelynn Donnelly, Abigail Erwin, Andrew Chapple, Peter Krause, Vinod Dasa Oct 2021

Demographics Of Periprosthetic Joint Infection Rates, Katelynn Donnelly, Abigail Erwin, Andrew Chapple, Peter Krause, Vinod Dasa

Medical Student Research Poster Symposium

Introduction: Risk factors for periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) following total joint arthroplasties (TJAs) include patient demographics and comorbidities such as age, gender, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, and diabetes. 1 However, there is insufficient research analyzing the number of PJIs in certain racial subsets of the population despite the presence of disparities due to race that still exists in orthopedics today. 2 The purpose of this study is to investigate if PJI rates differ by race, as well as other patient demographics. This may uncover valuable information on how race relates to PJIs which is frequently unaccounted for in other studies. This …

Lack Of Demographic Information In Tha/Tka Randomized Controlled Trial Publications, Katelynn Donnelly, Hannah Theriot, John Bourgeois, Andrew Chapple, Peter Krause, Vinod Dasa

Medical Student Research Poster Symposium

Introduction: The impact of social determinants of health (SDOH) has been documented in orthopedic literature. However, there is a lack of data on the inclusion of these variables in orthopedic studies. Our aim was to investigate how many THA and TKA randomized controlled trials (RCTs) report SDOH variables such as race, ethnicity, insurance, income, and education within the manuscript. Methods: A literature review was conducted on a PubMed search for RCTs published from 2017-2019 in 4 major orthopedic journals which routinely publish on total joint arthroplasty: JBJS, Journal of Arthroplasty, CORR, and Osteoarthritis and Cartilage. The inclusion criteria, THA/TKA RCTs …

452— Potential Impacts Of Basic Reproduction Number On The Covid-19 Epidemic, Marisa Presutto Apr 2020

452— Potential Impacts Of Basic Reproduction Number On The Covid-19 Epidemic, Marisa Presutto

GREAT Day Posters

The basic reproduction number (R0) of a disease can be thought of as the number of cases that one case will directly generate if the rest of the population is susceptible to infection. The R0 of COVID-19 has recently become clearer; toward the beginning of the outbreak, the Imperial College Group estimated it to be somewhere between 1.5 and 3.5 (Imai et al. 2020), but they have now assumed a value of 2.4 (Ferguson et al. 2020). Using the Watts-Strogatz small-world model, I examined the effects of different R0 values within the original range on the …

Stratified Meta-Analysis To Examine Data Biases In Lung Cancer Studies Of Refinery Workers, Sherman Selix Sep 2014

Stratified Meta-Analysis To Examine Data Biases In Lung Cancer Studies Of Refinery Workers, Sherman Selix

Yale Day of Data

Petroleum refineries employ a variety of workers who historically experienced different potentials for asbestos exposure depending on job tasks. Associations between petroleum refinery work and lung cancer related to occupational asbestos exposure have been quantified among various locations, corporations, and time periods. To combine the data from several individual refinery studies and examine an overall effect, a systematic review and stratified meta-analysis was employed. Using set search terms among four databases, 112 potential publications were identified, of which 29 qualified for meta-analysis. Risk estimates and confidence intervals were extracted from these publications to construct four separate datasets. Inverse variance weighting …
