北京地方志医学资料挖掘浅析

地方志作为"地方性的百科全书",因其全面性而往往为专业研究如医学研究所忽略,而其中却不乏丰富的医学资料。通过对北京地方志中的医学资料进行挖掘,发现涉及太医院、官办医药机构、社会福利机构、医家、流行病、土产药物、药王庙等内容,并对相关文献进行分析,以展现北京地方志医学资料情况,为后期进一步研究奠定基础。     

Evaluating Resource Utilization for In-Person and Virtual Joint Classes in Total Joint Arthroplasty: An Analysis of Attendance Patterns at a Large Metropolitan Health System

BackgroundProvider-run “joint classes” educate total joint arthroplasty (TJA) patients on how to best prepare for surgery and maximize recovery. There is no research on potential healthcare inequities in the context of joint classes or on the impact of the recent shift toward telehealth due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Using data from a large metropolitan health system, we aimed to (1) identify demographic patterns in prepandemic joint class attendance and (2) understand the impact of telehealth on attendance.MethodsWe included data on 3,090 TJA patients from three centers, each with a separately operated joint class. Attendance patterns were assessed prepandemic and after the resumption of elective surgeries when classes transitioned to telehealth. Statistical testing included standardized differences (SD > 0.1 indicates significance) and a multivariate linear regression.ResultsThe in-person and telehealth attendance rates were 69.9% and 69.2%, respectively. Joint class attendance was significantly higher for non-White, Hispanic, non-English primary language, Medicaid, and Medicare patients (all SD > 0.1). Age was a determinant of attendance for telehealth (SD > 0.1) but not for in-person (SD = 0.04). Contrastingly, physical distance from hospital was significant for in-person (SD > 0.1) but not for telehealth (SD = 0.06). On a multivariate analysis, distance from hospital (P < .05) and telehealth (P < .0001) were predictors of failed class attendance.ConclusionThis work highlights the relative importance of joint classes in specific subgroups of patients. Although telehealth attendance was lower, telehealth alleviated barriers to access related to physical distance but increased barriers for older patients. These results can guide providers on preoperative education and the implementation of telehealth.     

4+4临床医学人才培养美国模式与交医模式的比较及思考

上海交通大学医学院借鉴北美医学院校的培养模式，从2002年起在国内率先开展临床医学专业"4+4"培养项目，招收优秀非医学应届本科毕业生攻读4年医学课程。经过20年的实践，交大医学院已积累了一系列具有中国特色且行之有效的办学经验，同时也面临问题和困惑。本研究对比分析交大医学院和美国一流医学院校哈佛医学院、斯坦福大学医学院的"4+4"人才培养模式，并从培养目标、招生方式与规模、课程设置、学位授予标准等方面展开深入探讨。研究表明，未来交大医学院还需通过凸显特色人才培养目标，完善招生标准与流程，优化课程体系，平衡临床和科研能力培养等举措加大教育教学改革力度，助力推进"4+4"临床医学人才培养模式从优秀迈向卓越。     

Design,implementation and long-term follow-up of a context specific trauma training course in Uganda: Lessons learned and future directions

BackgroundThe Kampala Advanced Trauma Course (KATC) was developed in 2007 due to a locally identified need for an advanced trauma training curriculum for the resource-constrained setting. We describe the design, implementation and evaluation of the course.MethodsThe course has been delivered to over 1,000 interns rotating through surgery at Mulago National Referral Hospital. Participants from 2013 to 2016 were surveyed after completion of the course.ResultsThe KATC was developed with local faculty and includes didactic and simulation modules. Over 50% of survey respondents reported feeling confident performing and teaching 7 of 11 course skills and felt the most relevant skill was airway management(30.2%). Participants felt least confident managing head trauma(26.4%). Lack of equipment(52.8%) was identified as the most common barrier to providing trauma care.ConclusionsProviders are confident with most skill sets after taking the KATC. Minimal dependence on instructors from high-income countries has kept the course sustainable and maximized local relevance.     

Senior surgical resident autonomy and teaching assistant cases: A prospective observational study

IntroductionTeaching assistant (TA) cases allow senior residents (SR) to gain autonomy. We compared the safety profiles of TA cases performed under direct vs. indirect staff supervision.MethodsProspective observational study of operative cases where a SR served as the TA between 7/2014-6/2017 (n = 161). Patient/operative characteristics, 30-day outcomes, and SR survey data were compared by level of supervision.ResultsCase mix included 68 laparoscopic appendectomies (42%), 49 laparoscopic cholecystectomies (30%), 10 I&Ds (6%), 10 umbilical hernia repairs (6%), 4 port placements (3%), and 11 others. Indirectly supervised cases were shorter (61 vs. 76 min, p < 0.01), with less blood loss (11 vs. 24 ml, p < 0.05), and lower conversion rates (0% vs. 5.7%, p < 0.05). Perceived difficulty was high in 20% of cases with indirect vs. 49% with direct supervision (p < 0.01). Mean SR comfort was high (4.4 vs. 4.6 out of 5) regardless of level of staff supervision. 30-day complications did not differ for indirect vs. direct supervision (all p = NS).DiscussionCarefully selected TA cases offer SRs opportunities to practice autonomy without sacrificing operative time or patient safety.
