Abstract:
For over a decade, the Los Angeles County/University of Southern California Hospital has supported an international fellowship in trauma that provides research experience, education, and opportunity for clinical observation at a high-volume American College of Surgeons (ACS) designated Level I trauma center. We performed a descriptive study of the design, implementation, and results of an international fellowship in trauma and critical care. Fellows from 27 countries throughout the world have actively engaged in trauma research at Los Angeles County/University of Southern California Hospital. Our program involves intensive education and clinical observation components designed to facilitate dissemination of evidence-based trauma practices throughout the world by graduates. The majority of alumni responding to a survey returned to their countries of origin, remaining active in trauma care and research. Motivation for participation varied, but former fellows universally rated their experience highly and stated they would recommend the program to their colleagues. An international research fellowship in trauma and critical care provides foreign medical trainees opportunities for exposure to research and evidence-based practices at a high-volume trauma center. The program is designed to be beneficial to both the participating fellow and sponsoring institution; and is constructed to effectively promote improved trauma education and the dissemination of quality trauma practices internationally

Abstract:
The incidence of craniopharyngioma in the United States was estimated from two population-based cancer registries that include brain tumors of benign and borderline malignancy: the Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States (CBTRUS) and Los Angeles county. Information on additional pediatric tumors was available from the Greater Delaware Valley Pediatric Tumor Registry (GDVPTR). The overall incidence of craniopharyngioma was 0.13 per 100,000 person years and did not vary by gender or race. A bimodal distribution by age was noted with peak incidence rates in children (aged 5-14 years) and among older adults (aged 65-74 years in CBTRUS and 50-74 years in Los Angeles county). Survival information was available from GDVPTR and the National Cancer Data Base (NCDB), a hospital-based reporting system. In the NCDB, the 5-year survival rate was 80% and decreased with older age at diagnosis. Survival is higher among children and has improved in recent years. Approximately 338 cases of craniopharyngiomas are expected to occur annually in the United States, with 96 occurring in children from 0 to 14 years of age.

Abstract:
Motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) continue to be a leading cause of traumatic death, yet there is a paucity of data regarding racial/ethnic differences in injury severity, use of restraints, and outcomes. This study determines whether racial/ethnic disparities exist in adult MVC victims. A retrospective review of patients (age older than 18 years) involved in MVC in Los Angeles County from 2004 to 2009 was performed. Main outcome measures were hospital length of stay, mortality, and complication rate. Independent variables evaluated included race/ethnicity, use of restraints, age, gender, Injury Severity Score (ISS), and Glasgow Coma Scale. During the 5-year study period, 22,444 patients were involved in an MVC in Los Angeles County. Overall restraint use was 69 per cent, lowest in blacks (67%) and Hispanics (68%). Mortality and morbidity rates were both 3 per cent for all racial/ethnic groups. On multivariable analysis, higher ISS, older age, male gender, not wearing a seatbelt, and being Asian increased the risk of death. In conclusion, our study demonstrated racial/ethnic differences in MVC victims, particularly identifying that Hispanics and blacks were less likely to be restrained and thus could be the target of future injury prevention programs.

Abstract:
Although geographic variation in health care services is well established, relatively less is known about ambulatory surgical procedures in California. Thus, we sought to describe statewide trends according to geographic and institutional factors. Using the California Office of State Health Planning and Development Ambulatory Surgery and Hospital Utilization datasets, overall and per-capita procedure rates by county and institution were calculated and compared across 2012 to 2014. There was substantial variation in services provided at the county level (Range: 49–382,142 cases/county). Among the 10 largest counties, there was a more than 2-fold difference in case volume per capita; across all counties, a 50-fold variation was observed. Changes in county population size and surgical case volume were correlated only if Los Angeles, the most populous and highest-volume county in the state, was excluded as an outlier. In the first year of California's full Medicaid expansion, Medicaid ambulatory surgery cases increased 29 per cent and self-pay cases decreased 16 per cent. The top 10 facilities by volume experienced substantial volatility in case volume over two years, ranging from 219.6 to 111.5 per cent. Geographic differences in rates of ambulatory surgery may be related to population shifts, but this was not uniformly true. The factors driving this variation and its impact on patient care warrant further investigation.

Abstract:
Improving patient safety is vital for all hospitals due to increasing public reporting and pay-for-performance reimbursement. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains a leading cause of preventable mortality accounting for 5 per cent of inpatient deaths. The purpose of this study was to outline the process of implementing standard VTE prophylactic order sets in a 600-bed academic safety net hospital and assess the resulting change in patient outcomes. Outcomes were assessed by comparing the rate that eligible inpatients receive VTE prophylaxis and the rate of preventable VTE's compared with total VTE's. From 2011 to 2015, random samples of 60 Los Angeles County+University of Southern California inpatients were generated monthly to examine compliance rates by comparing ICD-9 diagnostic codes to ordered VTE prophylaxis. All inpatient VTE's are retrospectively analyzed. Baseline-ordered VTE prophylaxis was 37 per cent in 2010. The target of 85 per cent was exceeded by the second quarter of 2012 to 2013 when compliance reached 88 per cent, a 51 per cent increase from baseline ( P < 0.01). These results suggest VTE protocols are effective though standardization across service lines is often difficult. Despite these challenges, after implementing standard order sets, we saw compliance increase significantly. Ongoing analysis to determine whether VTE rates have significantly decreased is presently underway.

Abstract:
As seen in recent disasters, large-scale crisis events have the potential to cause significant pediatric death and injury. During such disaster situations, both distance and decreased mobility will likely limit access to pediatric hospitals. Thus, all hospitals, regardless if they regularly treat children or not, should anticipate an influx of pediatric patients in the event of a disaster. The Pediatric Surge Pocket Guide was developed for and distributed at a Pediatric Medical Surge Workshop held by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health in June 2009. Designed both as a supplement to the workshop training and as an effective stand-alone resource, the Guide provides comprehensive pediatric-specific recommendations for hospitals experiencing a surge in pediatric capacity. Because of its unique pocket-size format, the Guide has the potential to be a readily accessible tool with application to a wide range of disaster or nondisaster situations, for use in hospital or nonhospital settings, and by pediatric specialists, nonspecialists, and nonclinicians alike.

Abstract:
It is classically taught that scapular fractures (SF) are commonly associated with blunt thoracic aortic injury (BTAI). The purpose of this study was to determine the association between SF and BTAI. A 10-year retrospective review of blunt trauma admissions from two level I trauma centers located in different geographic regions, Washington Hospital Center (WHC) and Los Angeles County Medical Center and the University of Southern California (LAC/USC), was performed. Patients with SF and BTAI were identified, and records were reviewed to determine associated injuries. We identified 35,541 blunt trauma admissions (WHC: 12,971, LAC/USC: 22,570). SF and BTAI occurred in 1.1 per cent and 0.6 per cent of patients, respectively. Most of the patients with SF had associated injuries (99%). Only four patients with SF had BTAI (4/392; 1.0%). The most common injuries associated with SF were rib (43%), lower extremity (36%), and upper extremity (33%) fractures. SF is uncommon after blunt trauma. Patients with SF almost always have significant associated injuries. Although SF indicates a high amount of energy transmitted to the upper thorax, these patients rarely have BTAI. SF should not be used as an indicator of possible BTAI.
