Abstract
Tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis has been shown in literature to have good results in regards to low complication rates and deformity correction. While previous studies have investigated functional outcomes and complication rates, no large-scale studies have looked at pain outcomes. The present study performed a retrospective review of 154 extremities to analyze how a patient's comorbidities and characteristics influence pain outcomes following a tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis. The present study found an average change of pain from 7.1 to 3.0 in at least a 6 month follow up. We found that a diagnosis of chronic pain and tobacco use had statistically significant less pain improvement compared to patients without chronic pain or current tobacco use. We determined no statistically significant difference in pain outcomes for patients with or without Charcot deformity. Lastly, we found that with older patients there was more pain improvement observed. We physicians can educate current tobacco users of the improved pain outcomes with tobacco cessation prior to surgery. We recommend a multidisciplinary approach for pain in patients with a pre-operative diagnosis of chronic pain and to educate patients on realistic postoperative pain outcomes.

Abstract
Toe amputations are a common podiatric procedure for treatment of osteomyelitis. Whether or not the surgeon obtains a surgical cure, thus resolving the infection, can be difficult to assess. Obtaining a proximal bone margin can assist the treatment team in deciding the duration of postoperative antibiotics, need for re-operation, and postoperative care. The two senior surgeons use different methods to analyze proximal bone margins. The first surgeon obtains a microbiologic culture from the remaining bone, either at the proximal phalanx or metatarsal head, following the removal of the toe to be reviewed for osteomyelitis. Per the second surgeon's technique, the pathologist only analyzes the proximal aspect of the amputated toe for presence of osteomyelitis. Our goal is to analyze the re-operation and re-amputation rates between the techniques in which the proximal margin specimens are obtained. A retrospective chart review was performed on all isolated toe or partial toe amputations from March 2017- September 2022. There were 115 patients who met inclusion criteria. Re-operation and re-amputation rates were analyzed for positive and negative infection margins from intraoperative cultures. Our study found an overall 28% re-operation rate and 26% re-amputation rate for the negative margins group. In the positive proximal margin group, there was an overall 48% re-operation rate and 44% re-amputation rate. Our analysis did not find a statistically significant difference between the re-amputation rate in the negative margins group and the re-amputation rate in the positive margins group. In conclusion, our study found that a positive proximal margin for osteomyelitis exhibited a nearly double re-operation and re-amputation rate compared to patients with a negative margin, and that one margin analysis technique was not inferior to the other in regards to the need for additional surgeries. Level of Evidence: 3.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of distance traveled on cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) outcomes needs further investigation. METHODS This retrospective study reviewed a prospectively managed single-center CRS/HIPEC 1992-2022 database. Zip codes were used to calculate distance traveled and to obtain data on income and education via census data. Patients were separated into three groups based on distance traveled in miles (local: ≤50 miles, regional: 51-99 miles, distant: ≥100 miles). Descriptive statistics, Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox regression were performed. RESULTS The 1614 patients in the study traveled a median distance of 109.5 miles (interquartile range [IQR], 53.36-202.29 miles), with 23% traveling locally, 23.9% traveling regionally, and 53% traveling distantly. Those traveling distantly or regionally tended to be more white (distant: 87.8%, regional: 87.2%, local: 83.2%), affluent (distant: $61,944, regional: $65,014, local: $54,390), educated (% without high school diploma: distant: 10.6%, regional: 11.5%, local: 13.0%), less often uninsured (distant: 2.3%, regional: 4.6%, local: 5.2%) or with Medicaid (distant: 3.3%, regional: 1.3%, local: 9.7%). They more often had higher Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Index (PCI) scores (distant: 15.4, regional: 15.8, local: 12.7) and R2 resections (distant: 50.3%, regional: 52.2%, local: 40.5%). Median survival did not differ between the groups, and distance traveled was not a predictor of survival. CONCLUSION More than 50% of the patients traveled farther than 100 miles for treatment. Although regionalization of CRS/HIPEC may be appropriate given the lack of survival difference based on distance traveled, those who traveled further had fewer health care disparities but higher PCI scores and more R2 resections, which raises concerns about access to care for the underserved, time to treatment, and surgical quality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) on quality of life (QoL) for patients taking opioids and psychotropic medications preoperatively is unclear. METHODS This study retrospectively reviewed a CRS-HIPEC single-center prospectively maintained database for 2012-2016. Demographics and clinical data on opioids/psychotropic medication use were collected via chart review. The study collected QoL outcomes at baseline, then 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively via the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), Brief Pain Inventory, Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy, and 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey. Differences in QoL between the groups were calculated using repeated measures analysis of variance regression. Descriptive statistics and Kaplan-Meier analyses were performed. RESULTS Of 388 patients, 44.8% were taking opioids/psychotropic medications preoperatively. At baseline, those taking opioids/psychotropic medications preoperatively versus those not taking these medications had significantly worse QoL. By 1 year postoperatively, the QoL measures did not differ significantly except for emotional functioning (e.g., no medications vs. opioids/psychotropic medications: CES-D, 5.6 vs. 10.1). Median survival did not differ significantly (opioids/psychotropic medications vs. no medications: 52.3 vs. 60.6 months; p = 0.66). At 1 year after surgery, a greater percentage of patients were taking opioids, psychotropic medications, or both than at baseline (63.2% vs. 44.8%; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Despite worse baseline QoL, patients who took opioids/psychotropic medications had QoL scores 1 year postoperatively similar to the scores of those who did not except in the emotional domains. These data point to the potential utility of a timed psychosocial intervention to enhance emotional adaptation and further support the role of CRS-HIPEC in improving QoL.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Significant heterogeneity exists with regards to prior published reports of re-irradiation (re-RT) in patients with recurrent high grade glioma (HGG). A multi-institutional database of 10 academic centers across the United States was created to analyze prognostic outcomes for re-RT for recurrent HGG, which included WHO Grade III and Grade IV tumors. MATERIALS/METHODS Patients with HGG who had initially received standard radiotherapy (RT) and were subsequently treated with a course of re-RT at recurrence were included in the study. Factors assessed to delineate a significant association with overall survival (OS) and toxicity included age, KPS, number of relapses, dose, use of bevacizumab (BEV) or temozolomide (TMZ), time from prior RT, histology, RT target, re-RT target> 5cm and extent of resection, and MGMT methylation status. The Kaplan-Meier Method was used to estimate OS. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to identify factors associated with OS. Toxicity outcomes were assessed using logistic regression. Significance was assumed if p<0.05. Data management and decision management software were used for all analyses. RESULTS Between 2001 and 2022, 280 patients from 10 academic institutions were treated with re-RT for diagnosis of recurrent HGG. 133 patients (71.1%) had a histologic glioblastoma (GBM) at the time of re-RT, with the remainder having Grade 3 gliomas. Median dose delivered at re-RT was 47 Gy BED10 (IQR 47 - 53 Gy BED10), with the most common regimen being 35 Gy in 10 fractions. 83 patients (56%) had GTV greater than 5 cm treated with re-RT. 183 patients (79%) received concurrent systemic therapy, including 95 (41%) who received concurrent TMZ and 86 (45%) who received concurrent BEV. Median OS for the entire cohort was 10 months. Increasing dose at re-RT was associated with improved OS (OR 0.80 95% CI 0.67-0.95, p = 0.10 per 10 Gy BED10), as was dose greater than 47 Gy BED10, which is equivalent to 35 Gy in 10 fractions (OR 0.70, 95% CI 0.54-0.91). Concurrent TMZ was also associated with improved OS (OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.46-0.83, p < 0.01). 32/143 (22%) patients evaluable for toxicity experienced Grade 2 or greater adverse radiation effect (ARE). Use of BEV was associated with decreased toxicity (OR 0.45, 95% CI 0.21-0.98, p = 0.05). Dose at re-RT (OR 1.07 per 10 Gy BED10, p = 0.78), a GTV > 5cm (OR 1.39, p = 0.44), and the use of concurrent TMZ (OR 1.90, p = 0.10) were not associated with Grade 2 or greater ARE. CONCLUSION Higher dose of re-RT and use of concurrent TMZ led to improved OS in recurrent HGG patients without an associated increased rate of ARE. Use of BEV decreased the likelihood of Grade 2 or greater ARE in the re-RT setting for these recurrent HGG patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Complete resection of colorectal liver metastasis (CLM) improves long-term survival in colorectal cancer. However, there is limited recent data on conditional survival (CS) as postoperative survival milestones are achieved post-hepatectomy. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on the penta-institutional Colorectal Liver Operative Metastasis International Collaborative (COLOMIC), with 906 consecutive CLM hepatectomy cases. CS was calculated using Bayes' theorem and Kaplan-Meier analysis. Additional CS analyses were performed on additional clinicopathologic risk factors, including colon cancer laterality, KRAS mutation status, and extrahepatic disease. RESULTS The 5-year CS was 40.6%, 45.3%, 52.8%, and 65.3% at 0, 1, 2, and 3 years postoperatively, with significant improvements each year (p < 0.005). CS was not significantly different between right-sided and left-sided colorectal cancers by 3 years postoperatively. Patients with KRAS mutations had worse CS at all timepoints (p < 0.001). Extrahepatic disease was a poor prognostic factor for OS and CS (p < 0.001). However, CS for patients with KRAS mutations or extrahepatic disease improved significantly as 2-year, postoperative survival was achieved (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Five-year CS after hepatectomy for CLM improved with each passing year of survival postoperatively. Although extrahepatic disease and KRAS mutations are poor prognostic factors for OS, these populations still had improved CS after 2 years postoperatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although colorectal hepatic metastases (HM) and peritoneal surface disease (PSD) are distinct biologic diseases, they may have similar long-term survival when optimally treated with surgery. METHODS This study retrospectively reviewed prospectively managed databases. Patients undergoing R0 or R1 resections were analyzed with descriptive statistics, the Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox regression. Survival was compared over time for the following periods: 1993-2006, 2007-2012, and 2013-2020. RESULTS The study enrolled 783 HM patients undergoing liver resection and 204 PSD patients undergoing cytoreduction and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Compared with PSD patients, HM patients more often had R0 resections (90.3% vs. 32.4%), less often had pre-procedure chemotherapy (52.4% vs. 92.1%), and less often were functionally independent (79.7% vs. 95.6%). The 5-year overall survival for HM was 40.9%, with a median survival period of 45.8 months versus 25.8% and 33.4 months, respectively, for PSD (p < 0.05). When stratified by resection status, R0 HM and R0 PSD did not differ significantly in median survival (49.0 vs. 45.4 months; p = 0.83). The median survival after R1 resection also was similar between HM and PSD (32.6 vs. 26.9 months; p = 0.59). Survival between the two groups again was similar over time when stratified by resection status. The predictors of survival for HM patients were R0 resection, number of lesions, intraoperative transfusion, age, and adjuvant chemotherapy. For the PSD patients, the predictors were peritoneal cancer index (PCI) score, estimated blood loss (EBL), and female gender. CONCLUSION The study showed that R0 resections are associated with improved outcomes and that median survival is similar between HM and PSD patients when it is achieved. Surveillance and treatment strategies that facilitate R0 resections are needed to improve results, particularly for PSD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare diagnosis with a dismal prognosis if untreated. Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) is shown to significantly improve survival. Our institution is uniquely positioned to report long-term outcomes in MPM with CRS-HIPEC, due to our robust peritoneal surface disease program existing over the past three decades. METHODS Our prospectively maintained, single-institution database of CRS-HIPEC cases was reviewed, identifying 111 consecutive patients with MPM over 28 years (1993-2021). Prognostic, operative, and pathologic factors were reviewed. Overall survival (OS) and conditional survival (CS) analyses were performed. RESULTS The average age was 55.1 years; 58.6% of patients were male; 17 of 111 patients (15.3%) had a second CRS-HIPEC. At first CRS-HIPEC, the average PCI score was 18.7, and the perfusate drugs were platinum-based (72.1%) and mitomycin C (27.9%). The resection status at first CRS-HIPEC was R2a (46.4%), followed by R0-1 (29.1%), and R2b-c (24.5%). Median OS was 3.3 years for the entire cohort, with 75th and 25th percentiles at 10.7 months and 10.6 years. Median CS was improved if patients survived to the 1-year postoperative mark (4.9 years, p < 0.01) and trended toward further improvement with each passing year. If 3-year postoperative survival was achieved, the median CS improved to 6.1 years. CONCLUSIONS This represents one of the largest and lengthiest, single-center, longitudinal, case series of peritoneal mesothelioma treated with CRS-HIPEC. The OS suggests efficacy for CRS-HIPEC for MPM. Long-term survival improves significantly after patients achieve the 1-year, postoperative mark.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can lead to durable responses in patients with lung cancer but may delay transitions to hospice at the end of life (EOL). We aimed to test the association of continuity of care with EOL outcomes in the ICI era. METHODS We collected retrospective data on all patients with lung cancer who started ICI treatment at a single comprehensive cancer center in the United States (1/1/14-5/1/18) and subsequently died. We defined a hospice referral as having continuity of care if placed by a provider from the patient's multidisciplinary cancer team (e.g., a medical oncologist, palliative care specialist, intensivist, and hospitalist). RESULTS In this cohort of 143 patients, 58% had a team-based hospice referral which was associated with a lower risk of death in the hospital. The most common reason patients declined hospice at EOL was an unwillingness to discontinue cancer-directed therapy. As compared to a similar historical cohort of patients treated with chemotherapy alone (2008-2010), there was a similar rate of hospice referral (68% vs 74%) but higher rates of new systemic therapy initiated within 30 days of death (17% vs 6%, p .001) and last dose within 14 days of death (13% vs 5%, p .005). CONCLUSIONS Future studies should test the continuity of care at EOL as a new quality metric for advanced NSCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy of just-in-time teaching (JiTT) screencasts for graduate medical education on an inpatient adult hematology-oncology service (HOS) setting is not known. Our preceding pilot data identified six high-yield topics for this setting. The study objective was to evaluate screencast educational efficacy. METHODS Internal medicine residents scheduled to start a rotation on the primary HOS of an academic medical center were eligible for this parallel, unblinded, randomized controlled trial with concealed allocation. Participants underwent block randomization to the usual educational curriculum either with or without access to a series of novel screencasts; all participants received an anonymous online end-of-rotation survey and a $20 gift certificate upon completion. The primary outcome was the change in attitude among learners, measured as their self-reported confidence for managing the clinical topics. RESULTS From 12/9/2019 through 6/15/2020, accrual was completed with 67 of 78 eligible residents (86%) enrolled and randomized. Analysis was by intention-to-treat and participant response rate was 91%. Sixty-four percent of residents in the treatment arm rated their clinical management comfort level as "comfortable" or "very comfortable" versus 21% of residents in the usual education arm (p = 0.001), estimated difference = 43% (95% CI: 21-66%), using a prespecified cumulative cutoff score. Treatment arm participants reported that the screencasts improved medical oncology knowledge base (100%), would improve their care for cancer patients (92%), and had an enjoyable format (96%). CONCLUSION Residents on a busy inpatient HOS found that a JiTT screencast increased clinical comfort level in the management of HOS-specific patient problems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Resection of colorectal liver metastasis (CLM) is beneficial when feasible. However, the benefit of second hepatectomy for hepatic recurrence in CLM remains unclear. METHODS The Colorectal Liver Operative Metastasis International Collaborative retrospectively examined 1004 CLM cases from 2000 to 2018 from a total of 953 patients. Hepatic recurrence after initial hepatectomy was identified in 218 patients. Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed for overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to offset selection bias. Cox proportional-hazards regression was performed to identify risk factors associated with OS. RESULTS A total of 51 patients underwent second hepatectomy. Unadjusted median OS was 60.1 months in repeat-hepatectomy versus 38.3 months in the single-hepatectomy group (p = 0.015). In the PSM population, median OS remained significantly better in the repeat-hepatectomy group (60.1 vs. 33.1 months; p = 0.0023); median RFS was 12.4 months for the repeat-hepatectomy group, versus 9.8 months in the single-hepatectomy group (p = 0.0050). Repeat hepatectomy was associated with lower risk of death (hazard ratio: 0.283; p = 0.000012). Obesity, tobacco use, and high intraoperative blood loss were associated with significant risk of death (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION In CLM with hepatic recurrence, second hepatectomy was beneficial for OS. With PSM, the OS benefit of performing a second hepatectomy remained significant.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary laterality of colorectal cancer is thought to be associated with differences in outcomes. Liver metastasis is the most common site of solitary colorectal cancer spread. However, how primary colorectal cancer laterality affects outcomes in colorectal liver metastasis remains unclear. METHODS The Colorectal Liver Operative Metastasis International Collaborative (COLOMIC) of operative hepatectomy cases for colorectal liver metastasis was compiled from five participating institutions. This included consecutive cases from 2000 to 2018 at all sites. A total of 884 patients were included in this study. Univariate, multivariate, and Kaplan-Meier analyses were performed. RESULTS Patients with left-sided versus right-sided cancers had significantly better overall survival: 49.4 vs. 41.8 months (p < 0.05). Patients with KRAS mutations had significantly worse median overall survival compared to KRAS wild-type (43.6 vs 56.1 months; p < 0.001). In left-sided cancers, KRAS mutations were associated with significantly worse median overall survival compared to KRAS wild-type cancers (43.6 vs 56.6 months; p < 0.01). This association was absent in patients with right-sided primary tumors. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed different variable sets (non-overlapping) were associated with overall survival, when comparing left-sided and right-sided cancers. CONCLUSION Understanding how primary tumor laterality and related biological aspects affect long-term outcomes can potentially inform treatment decisions for patients with colorectal liver metastases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) improves survival in abdominal cancer patients with metastatic disease limited to the peritoneal cavity. Patients are increasingly being offered repeat CRS-HIPECs for peritoneal recurrence. However, in this rare clinical scenario, the survival benefit of performing repeat CRS-HIPEC operations remains unclear. METHODS A retrospective review of the CRS-HIPEC database at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center was performed over a 30-year timespan. From 1547 patients with appendix cancers, colorectal cancers, mesotheliomas, and other miscellaneous cancers, 156 received more than one CRS-HIPEC. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed using overall survival (OS) from the time of surgery as the primary endpoint. Multi-variable Cox proportional hazards regression modelling was performed on pertinent clinical variables. RESULTS Patients who received multiple CRS-HIPECs had significantly better median OS (10.7 years) versus those who received one CRS-HIPEC (2.5 years), with appendix cancers faring best (12.9 years). Resection status R2a or better was achieved in 76.4% of repeat CRS-HIPECs. There were no significant changes in complication rates after repeat CRS-HIPEC. On multivariate analysis of repeat CRS-HIPEC, patients with appendix and colorectal cancers, heart disease, and poor functional status were independently associated with poor OS. Factors not independently associated with OS were age, sex, body mass index, race, diabetes, lung disease, smoking history, and systemic chemotherapy between CRS-HIPECs. CONCLUSIONS Performing multiple CRS-HIPEC operations on appropriate surgical candidates may significantly prolong survival. Appendix cancers derived the greatest benefit. Satisfactory resection margins and complication rates are comparable to first cases and achievable in repeat CRS-HIPEC procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) with peritoneal involvement is a common indication for cytoreductive surgery with heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC). With peritoneal recurrence, patients are increasingly being offered repeat CRS/HIPECs, however optimal timing for a second CRS/HIPEC remains unknown. METHODS A prospectively maintained 30-year database at our high-volume HIPEC center was analyzed retrospectively for patients with LAMNs and peritoneal recurrence receiving one or two CRS/HIPECs. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, linear regression modeling, and Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were performed. RESULTS Overall, 143 patients with LAMNs who underwent CRS/HIPECs had confirmed postoperative peritoneal recurrence. Of these patients, 85 underwent one CRS/HIPEC and 58 underwent two CRS/HIPECs. The groups had significant differences in age, with younger patients more likely to undergo a second CRS/HIPEC (48.5 vs. 58.0 years; p < 0.001). The median overall survival (OS) for the group undergoing two CRS/HIPECs was approximately four times longer compared with the group undergoing one CRS/HIPEC (227.1 vs. 54.5 months; p < 0.0001). The time from recurrence to the second CRS/HIPEC was not significantly associated with OS from the time of the first operation. Instead, a shorter time between the first CRS/HIPEC and recurrence was significantly associated with shorter OS from the time of the first operation (p = 0.037). CONCLUSION In peritoneal LAMNs with recurrence, receiving two CRS/HIPECs was associated with better OS compared with receiving one CRS/HIPEC. Longer time to recurrence was a good prognostic factor. Delay between recurrence and second CRS/HIPEC had no apparent impact on OS from the first CRS/HIPEC; thus, immediate or delayed reoperative intervention are both reasonable approaches.

Abstract
BackgroundImmune-mediated diarrhea or colitis (IDC) is a potentially serious adverse event which can occur in up to 10% of patients receiving an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICIs), but not all episodes of diarrhea among these patients are immune-mediated.1 There is a paucity of research regarding the diagnosis and management of this common symptom among patients receiving an ICI.MethodsWe collected retrospective clinical data for all patients who received at least one dose of an ICI for any cancer diagnosis (n=2,120) and subsequently underwent a diagnostic workup for acute diarrhea with stool testing for either C. difficile or a gastrointestinal pathogen panel (n=223) at any point between 1/1/13 to 3/17/21. We compared patients who had IDC “ruled out” to those who had confirmed IDC using Fisher's exact test for categorical variables and either independent samples t-test or Wilcoxon two-sample tests for interval variables. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate progression-free and overall survival time. A two-sided alpha of 0.05 was utilized in determining which relationships might be significant.ResultsThirty-seven percent had ICIs deferred upon symptom onset, and 28% received systemic steroids. Patients receiving an ICI who developed diarrhea were 2.14x more likely to have a different etiology for their symptoms (n=152, 68%) than IDC. Patients who had IDC ruled out were more likely to be female (47%, p 0.029) and have at least one comorbidity (93%, p 0.028). Patients with confirmed IDC were more likely to have peptic ulcer disease (4%, p 0.031), to have received ipilimumab (24%, p<0.0001) or >1 ICI concurrently 23%, p<0.001), and to have a shorter time since last dose of immunotherapy to onset of symptoms (12 vs. 26 days, p <0.0001). There were no differences in age, race, ethnicity, prior cancer therapies, types of other comorbidities, symptoms, presence of other adverse events, number of ICI cycles prior to symptom onset, or performance status. Progression-free survival was longer among patients with confirmed IDC (p 0.003). Overall survival was longer among patients with confirmed IDC (p 0.021) (figure 1).ConclusionsDiarrhea is often due to another etiology besides IDC, especially among patients who have onset of symptoms over 2 weeks after receiving an ICI other than ipilimumab. If ipilimumab or two ICIs are used concurrently, it is warranted to have increased suspicion for IDC especially with rapid progression of symptoms. This dataset provides additional evidence that confirmed IDC may be associated with prolonged progression-free and overall survival.ReferenceWang Y, Zhou S, Yang F, et al.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The optimal haemodialysis (HD) prescription-frequency and dose-for patients with incident dialysis-dependent kidney disease (DDKD) and substantial residual kidney function (RKF)-that is, renal urea clearance ≥2 mL/min/1.73 m2 and urine volume ≥500 mL/day-is not known. The aim of the present study is to test the feasibility and safety of a simple, reliable prescription of incremental HD in patients with incident DDKD and RKF. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This parallel-group, open-label randomised pilot trial will enrol 50 patients from 14 outpatient dialysis units. Participants will be randomised (1:1) to receive twice-weekly HD with adjuvant pharmacological therapy for 6 weeks followed by thrice-weekly HD (incremental HD group) or outright thrice-weekly HD (standard HD group). Age ≥18 years, chronic kidney disease progressing to DDKD and urine output ≥500 mL/day are key inclusion criteria; patients with left ventricular ejection fraction <30% and acute kidney injury requiring dialysis will be excluded. Adjuvant pharmacological therapy (ie, effective diuretic regimen, patiromer and sodium bicarbonate) will complement twice-weekly HD. The primary feasibility end points are recruitment rate, adherence to the assigned HD regimen, adherence to serial timed urine collections and treatment contamination. Incidence rate of clinically significant volume overload and metabolic imbalances in the first 3 months after randomisation will be used to assess intervention safety. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study has been reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board of Wake Forest School of Medicine in North Carolina, USA. Patient recruitment began on 14 June 2019, was paused between 13 March 2020 and 31 May 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic, resumed on 01 June 2020 and will last until the required sample size has been attained. Participants will be followed in usual care fashion for a minimum of 6 months from last individual enrolled. All regulations and measures of ethics and confidentiality are handled in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT03740048; Pre-results.

Abstract
e21151 Background: Although predictive of chemotherapy toxicity, geriatric assessment measures are not systematically collected in clinical practice and may or may not be predictive for immune-related adverse events. Furthermore, hospitalization during immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment for advanced lung cancer has variable prognostic significance. This study aimed to evaluate whether age and documented patient characteristics mapped to geriatric assessment domains (frailty markers, FM) predict survival in this setting. Methods: A single-center retrospective cohort of advanced stage lung cancer patients who received >1 dose of an ICI from 6/1/18 to 2/1/20, were later hospitalized, and received ≥ 1 dose of systemic corticosteroids (n=97) was analyzed. Chart review ascertained documentation of any of the following FMs prior to ICI initiation: inability to walk one block, unintentional weight loss, decreased social activities, recent falls, need for assistance with medications, visual or hearing impairments, living alone, and concern regarding social support. Patients were stratified according to age and three FM categories (0 FM [low risk], ≥1 FMs [at risk], and ≥2 FMs [high risk]). Overall survival (OS) analysis was calculated from first dose of ICI to date of death or last follow-up. Cox’s proportional hazards models were used to assess the relationship between FMs and age on OS; hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Results: Analysis of < 75 and ≥ 75 yo revealed a median OS of 15.1 and 5.4 months respectively (HR 2.76, CI 1.62-4.72). Controlled for performance status (PS), older age (≥75 yo) was associated with a higher risk of death (HR 2.39, CI 1.32-4.31). FMs were associated with higher mortality, adjusted for PS and age (at risk patients HR 1.81, CI 1.03-3.16; high risk patients HR 2.02, CI 1.07-3.78). PS prior to starting ICI was not associated with OS. Conclusions: Age ≥ 75 yo is associated with short survival among lung cancer patients hospitalized while receiving ICI. Pre-treatment FMs documented as part of usual care were associated with worse OS, even after controlling for PS and age. This study shows promise for use of machine learning algorithms to stratify risk in hospitalized patients undergoing treatment for lung cancer with ICIs. These data would allow providers to better target serious illness conversations and end-of-life resources.[Table: see text]

Abstract
We report a 48-year-old fit and healthy woman who was incidentally diagnosed to have adenocarcinoma of gallbladder after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Subsequent imaging showed no evidence of regional or distant spread. She was scheduled for elective laparotomy and resection of gallbladder bed, but during laparotomy frozen section analysis of an incidentally discovered peritoneal deposit confirmed metastasis, so the procedure was abandoned. Thereafter, she received cisplatin and gemcitabine chemotherapy. However, surveillance computed tomography incidentally noted a urinary bladder mass which had not been present before. Transurethral resection of the bladder lesion revealed moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of urinary bladder. The appearance and immunoprofile of the lesion confirmed metastasis from the primary gallbladder cancer, which has not been documented in the literature to the best of our knowledge. Her disease progressed and she is being challenged with gemcitabine and carboplatin as second-line palliative chemotherapy. She is still alive two years after the initial diagnosis.

Abstract
e24003 Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) can lead to durable responses in some patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with less toxicity than chemotherapy. However, ICI can cause idiosyncratic adverse effects and radiographic responses can be difficult to interpret, making prognostication difficult and potentially impeding a timely transition to hospice. Our purpose was to explore end of life (EOL) outcomes in NSCLC patients treated with ICI. Methods: Retrospective data were collected on all patients with NSCLC started on ICI at single center (2014-2018) and who died before last known follow-up. EOL outcomes included hospitalizations, ICU admissions, timing/location of hospice referral and death. Charts were reviewed to identify barriers to hospice referrals or enrollment. Outcomes were compared to published data of similar cohort (2008-2010) from same institution treated with chemotherapy. Results: Out of 143 patients who died, 83 (58%) had internal hospice referral by cancer center; 15 (11%) were referred by external provider. Hospitalization frequency was associated with higher likelihood of internal hospice referral (p 0.04). Internal hospice referral was not associated with differences in age, sex, race, ethnicity, smoking history, cancer subtype, treatment response/toxicity, or overall survival. Internal hospice referral was associated with decreased rates of death on the hospital floor (p < 0.001) and the intensive care unit (ICU, p < 0.001). When compared to chemotherapy cohort, there was similar rate of hospice referral (68% vs. 74%, p 0.33) but higher rates of starting new systemic therapy within 30 days of death (17% vs. 6%, p 0.001) and last dose within 14 days of death (13% vs. 5%, p 0.005). Other EOL outcomes (hospitalization frequency, death in ICU) were similar, although ICI cohort trended towards a lower rate of death on the floor than chemotherapy cohort (16% vs. 25%, p 0.06). Barriers to hospice referral were not well documented by providers but lack of family support for home EOL care was a common reason patients declined hospice. Conclusions: ICI was associated with a higher rate of systemic treatment at EOL as compared to a historical chemotherapy cohort, although the rates of hospice referral and other outcomes were similar.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Venous leg ulcers represent the most common chronic wound problem managed in Australian primary care. Despite the prevalence of the condition, there is an evidence-practice gap in both diagnosis and management of venous leg ulcers. OBJECTIVE We used the Theoretical Domains Framework to identify barriers and enablers perceived by primary care practitioners in implementing venous leg ulcer guidelines in clinical practice. DESIGN We collected data to explore the experiences of practice nurses and general practitioners related to their use of clinical practice guidelines in management of venous leg ulcers. SETTING(S) We recruited participants from primary care settings located in metropolitan and rural areas across Victoria, Australia. PARTICIPANTS We recruited general practitioners (15) and practice nurses (20). METHODS We conducted 35 semi-structured face-to-face and telephone interviews. Content analysis of health practitioners' statements was performed and barriers to implementing clinical practice guidelines were mapped across the Theoretical Domains Framework theoretical domains. RESULTS Six main domains from the Theoretical Domains Framework (Environmental context and resources, Knowledge, Skills, Social influences, Social/Professional Role and Identity and Belief about Capabilities) best explained these barriers and enablers. Many participants were not aware of venous leg ulcer clinical practice guidelines. Those that were aware, stated that finding and accessing guidelines was challenging and most participants relied on other sources of information. Venous leg ulcer management was greatly influenced by professional experience and suggestions from colleagues. Other barriers included busy clinical practice, absence of handheld Doppler ultrasonography, insufficient skills and a lack of confidence related to the use of technology to rule out arterial involvement prior to compression application, a particular skill related to venous leg ulcer management that will impact on healing outcomes. CONCLUSIONS We identified a number of barriers and the lack of enablers that influence the uptake of venous leg ulcer clinical practice guidelines in primary care. This paper adds a theoretically sound, systematic approach for understanding and addressing the behaviour change required to improve translation of venous leg ulcer clinical practice guidelines in clinical practice. Tweetable abstract: The need to optimise venous leg ulcer clinical practice guidelines (CPG) has never been greater as the current estimate of health cost is AUD3billion and increasing due to rising epidemics of diabetes and obesity. We found most primary care health practitioners are unaware of CPG and this will impact on health and healing outcomes in Australian primary care.

Abstract
PURPOSE Little is known about sociodemographic and clinical factors that predict and act as barriers to ADHD medication independently of symptom severity. We examined the proportion of children using medication for ADHD, age of initiation of medication, and predictors of medication use in a population-representative cohort. METHODS Data from the Millennium Cohort Study on child ADHD, medication use for ADHD at age 14 (in 2014-2015) and child, parent and sociodemographic variables were collated. Logistic regression models were used to identify factors that predict medication use for ADHD (the main outcome measure), adjusting for symptom severity at age seven. RESULTS The weighted prevalence of ADHD was 3.97% (N = 11,708). 45.57% of children with ADHD (N = 305) were taking medication. The median age at initiation was 9 years (range 3-14). Male gender (AOR 3.66, 95% CI 1.75, 7.66) and conduct problems at age seven (AOR 1.24 95% CI 1.04, 1.47) and 14 predicted medication use at age 14 after adjusting for symptom severity. CONCLUSIONS Our study is the first to assess predictors of medication whist adjusting for ADHD symptom severity. Girls with ADHD were less likely to be prescribed medication, even when they displayed similar ADHD symptom levels to boys. Conduct problems also predicted medication independently of ADHD symptoms. ADHD may be more often medicated in boys because clinicians may think a prototypical ADHD child is male, and perhaps conduct problems make boys more disruptive in the classroom, leading to boys being more often treated.

Abstract
Background For cancer patients, rates of influenza-associated hospitalization and death are 4 times greater than that of the general population. Previously, we reported reduced immunogenicity to the standard-dose influenza vaccine in patients with central nervous system malignancy. In other poorly responding populations (eg, elderly patients), high-dose vaccination has improved efficacy and immunogenicity. Methods A prospective cohort study was designed to evaluate the immunogenicity of the Fluzone® high-dose influenza vaccine in brain tumor patients. Data on diagnosis, active oncologic treatment, and immunologic status (eg, CD4 count, CD8 count, CD4:CD8 ratio) were collected. All patients received the high-dose vaccine (180 µg). Hemagglutination inhibition titers were measured at baseline, day 28, and 3 months following vaccination to determine seroconversion (≥4-fold rise) and seroprotection (titer ≥1:40), which were compared to our prior results. Results Twenty-seven patients enrolled. Diagnoses included high-grade glioma (85%), CNS lymphoma (11%), and meningioma (4%). Treatment at enrollment included glucocorticoids (n = 8, 30%), radiation (n = 2, 7%), and chemotherapy (n = 9, 33%). Posttreatment lymphopenia (PTL, CD4 ≤ 200) was observed in 4 patients (15%). High-dose vaccination was well tolerated with no grade III-IV toxicity. Overall, seroconversion rates for the A/H1N1, A/H3N2, and B vaccine strains were significantly higher than in our prior study: 65% vs 37%, 69% vs 23%, and 50% vs 23%, respectively (all P < .04). Seroconversion was universally poor in patients with PTL. While seroprotection at 3 months declined in our prior study, no drop was observed following high-dose vaccination in this cohort. Conclusions The immunologic response to HD influenza vaccination was higher in this cohort than standard-dose influenza vaccination in our prior report. These findings mirror those in elderly patients where high-dose vaccination is the standard of care and raise the possibility of an immunosenescence phenotype.

Abstract
This study assessed risk factors associated with excessive negative energy balance (eNEB) in UK dairy cows between April 2006 and March 2015. Blood samples were analysed for β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and glucose. Following removal of all potential duplicate cows, a final dataset of 69,161 unique individual cows was obtained including biochemical results, individual cow and feed data. Generalised linear mixed-effect models and multivariable classification tree-based models showed that individual cow risk factors for eNEB included: (1) days relative to predicted calving date (dry cows); (2) days in milk (lactating cows); (3) body condition score (BCS; lactating cows ≥ BCS 4; OR 2.1); (4) milk yield (around 40 L per day); (5) parity (first lactation heifers; odds ratio [OR] 0.46 compared to older cows during lactation); and (6) chronic inflammatory conditions as assessed by globulin concentrations ≥ 50 g/L (OR 0.79 for cows with evidence of chronic inflammation). There was a higher prevalence during April to October (OR 1.19), and the lowest prevalence was in November. Feeding grass silage and wholecrop (silage made from cereal crops) to dry cows was associated with a reduced prevalence of eNEB, whereas access to grazed grass was associated with a higher prevalence in both the dry period (OR 1.32) and lactation (OR 1.33). Knowledge of the risk factors associated with eNEB in commercial dairy herds assists in both the implementation of herd monitoring programs and reduction of eNEB in dairy herds, with associated reductions in the risk of periparturient diseases and improved dairy cow performance.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to determine the individual animal and herd level prevalence of excessive negative energy balance (eNEB) in commercial UK dairy herds. Between April 2006 and March 2015, blood samples from 84,369 individual cows from 1748 different UK farms were received by a commercial laboratory service specializing in dairy cow nutritional monitoring. Following removal of all potential duplicate cows, the final dataset comprised 69,161 unique individual cows. The prevalence of eNEB was determined using plasma thresholds of β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and glucose. Overall prevalence of subclinical ketosis (SCK) in the first 20 days of lactation was 28.5%, 17.3% and 11.7% using BHB thresholds of 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4 mmol/L respectively. Prevalence of NEFA values ≥0.5 mmol/L in the last 10 days prior to calving was 26.0%, and 40.3% of cows had NEFA values ≥0.7 mmol/L in the first 20 days in milk (DIM). Combining BHB, NEFA and glucose showed that 52.0% of cows had one or more of the three biochemical measures of energy balance outside the respective threshold value in the last 10 days pre-calving, and 75.2% of cows showed a similar biochemical pattern in the first 20 DIM. The median herd prevalence of elevated BHB and/or NEFA was 37.5% in late pregnancy and 59.8% in the first 20 DIM, with substantial herd variation. Using multiple measures for the assessment of energy balance, this study has shown that eNEB affects substantial numbers of UK dairy cows.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient selection for critical care admission must balance patient safety with optimal resource allocation. This study aimed to determine the relationship between critical care admission, and postoperative mortality after abdominal surgery. METHODS This prespecified secondary analysis of a multicentre, prospective, observational study included consecutive patients enrolled in the DISCOVER study from UK and Republic of Ireland undergoing major gastrointestinal and liver surgery between October and December 2014. The primary outcome was 30-day mortality. Multivariate logistic regression was used to explore associations between critical care admission (planned and unplanned) and mortality, and inter-centre variation in critical care admission after emergency laparotomy. RESULTS Of 4529 patients included, 37.8% (n=1713) underwent planned critical care admissions from theatre. Some 3.1% (n=86/2816) admitted to ward-level care subsequently underwent unplanned critical care admission. Overall 30-day mortality was 2.9% (n=133/4519), and the risk-adjusted association between 30-day mortality and critical care admission was higher in unplanned [odds ratio (OR): 8.65, 95% confidence interval (CI): 3.51-19.97) than planned admissions (OR: 2.32, 95% CI: 1.43-3.85). Some 26.7% of patients (n=1210/4529) underwent emergency laparotomies. After adjustment, 49.3% (95% CI: 46.8-51.9%, P<0.001) were predicted to have planned critical care admissions, with 7% (n=10/145) of centres outside the 95% CI. CONCLUSIONS After risk adjustment, no 30-day survival benefit was identified for either planned or unplanned postoperative admissions to critical care within this cohort. This likely represents appropriate admission of the highest-risk patients. Planned admissions in selected, intermediate-risk patients may present a strategy to mitigate the risk of unplanned admission. Substantial inter-centre variation exists in planned critical care admissions after emergency laparotomies.

Abstract
Background Disparities in access to primary care (PC) have been demonstrated within and between health systems. However, few studies have assessed the factors associated with multiple barriers to access occurring along the care-seeking process in different healthcare systems. Methods In this secondary analysis of the 2016 Commonwealth Fund International Health Policy Survey of Adults, access was represented through participant responses to questions relating to access barriers either before or after reaching the PC practice in 11 countries (Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and United States). The number of respondents in each country ranged from 1000 to 7000 and the response rates ranged from 11% to 47%. We used multivariable logistic regression models within each of eleven countries to identify disparities in response to the access barriers by age, sex, immigrant status, income and the presence of chronic conditions. Results Overall, one in five adults (21%) experienced multiple barriers before reaching PC practices. After reaching care, an average of 16% of adults had two or more barriers. There was a sixfold difference between nations in the experience of these barriers to access. Vulnerable groups experiencing multiple barriers were relatively consistent across countries. People with lower income were more likely to experience multiple barriers, particularly before reaching primary care practices. Respondents with mental health problems and those born outside the country displayed substantial vulnerability in terms of barriers after reaching care. Conclusion A greater understanding of the multiple barriers to access to PC across the stages of the care-seeking process may help to inform planning and performance monitoring of disparities in access. Variation across countries may reveal organisational and system drivers of access, and inform efforts to improve access to PC for vulnerable groups. The cumulative nature of these barriers remains to be assessed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Repeat cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) for recurrence of peritoneal surface malignancies is safe and effective. Patient selection and factors associated with a favorable outcome are still evolving. METHODS A prospectively maintained institutional database consisting of 1314 CRS/HIPEC procedures performed between February 1993 and December 2015 was reviewed. Clinicopathologic data from 103 patients and 112 (8.5%) repeat CRS/HIPEC procedures were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS Primary tumors were appendiceal for 60 patients (58.3%), mesothelioma for 14 (13.6%), colorectal for 9 (8.7%), ovarian for 8 (7.8%). R0/R1 resection was achieved in 46 (46.5%) patients. The time interval between the initial and the repeat CRS/HIPEC was <1 year for 21 (20.4%), 1-2 years for 40 (38.8%), and >2 years for 42 patients (40.8%). Overall median survival was 4.3 years and correlated with the time interval (1.3 years for <1 years, 3.7 years for 1-2 years, and 7 years for >2 years; P < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, the R status (P = 0.005) and a time interval of more than 2 years (P = 0.0002) were strongly associated with survival with each additional month between the surgeries conferring a 2.6% reduction in the risk of death. CONCLUSIONS The current series validates time interval between cytoreductions as a major surrogate of tumor biology in selection of patients with recurrent peritoneal surface malignancies for repeat CRS/HIPEC. Complete repeat cytoreduction more than 2 years from the initial surgery is associated with a favorable outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are a complex subset of the growing number of patients with diabetes, due to multi-morbidity. Gaps between recommended and received care for diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are evident despite promulgation of guidelines. Here, we document gaps in tertiary health-care, and the commonest patient-reported barriers to health-care, before exploring the association between these gaps and barriers. METHODS This cross-sectional study recruited patients with diabetes and CKD (eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2) across 4 large hospitals. For each patient, questionnaires were completed examining clinical data, recommended care, and patient-reported barriers limiting health-care. Descriptive statistics, subgroup analyses by CKD stage and hospital, and analyses examining the relationship between health-care gaps and barriers were performed. RESULTS 308 patients, of mean age 66.9 (SD 11.0) years, and mostly male (69.5%) and having type 2 diabetes (88.0%), participated. 49.1% had stage 3, 24.7% stage 4 and 26.3% stage 5 CKD. Gaps between recommended versus received care were evident: 31.9% of patients had an HbA1c ≥ 8%, and 39.3% had a measured blood pressure ≥ 140/90 mmHg. The commonest barriers were poor continuity of care (49.3%), inadequate understanding/education about CKD (43.5%), and feeling unwell (42.6%). However, barriers associated with a failure to receive items of recommended care were inadequate support from family and friends, conflicting advice from and poor communication amongst specialists, the effect of co-morbidities on self-management and feeling unmotivated (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Barriers to health-care varied across CKD stages and hospitals. Barriers associated with a deviation from recommended care were different for different items of care, suggesting that specific interventions targeting each item of care are required.

Abstract
This study assesses the extent to which children under five years of age attending a growth-monitoring program are representative of the population as a whole. Bias in the prevalence of underweight estimated through growth-monitoring is assessed by comparing data from the program with prevalence estimates from the community-based Demographic and Health Surveys of 1988 and 1994. Geographic patterns of attendance at growth-monitoring are also examined through a comparison with census data, and trends in growth-monitoring data are also assessed. Provincial and national estimates of the prevalence of underweight from the two sources were not significantly different in 1988, but significant differences in prevalence estimates were identified in 1994. This suggests that growth-monitoring attendees were less representative of the general population in 1994 than at the start of the study period. The methodology used is transferable elsewhere, since the same data sets exist for many other African countries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Paternal depressive symptoms are associated with children's emotional and behavioural problems, which may be mediated by negative parenting. But there is no research on the influence of paternal depressive symptoms on children's emotion regulation and limited literature investigating fathers' parenting as a mediator in the pathway between paternal depressive symptoms and children's externalizing and internalizing problems. We aimed to investigate the mediating role of father-child conflict (at 3 years) in the association between postnatal paternal depressive symptoms (at 9 months) and children's emotional and behavioural problems (at 7 years) (aim 1). We also examined whether mediation pathways were more pronounced for boys or for girls (aim 2). METHOD Secondary data analysis was conducted on the Millennium Cohort Study, when children were 9 months, 3 years and 7 years old (n = 3520). Main study variables were measured by self-report questionnaires. Fathers completed the Rutter Scale (depressive symptoms) and the Parent-Child Relationship Questionnaire (father-child conflict), while mothers completed the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire and the Social Behaviour Questionnaire (child emotional and behavioural problems, emotion regulation). We used structural equation modelling to estimate direct, indirect and total effects of paternal depressive symptoms on child outcomes, mediated by father-child conflict whilst adjusting for relevant covariates (maternal depressive symptoms, child temperament, marital conflict, and socio-economic factors such as poverty indicator and fathers' education level). Multi-group and interaction analysis was then conducted to determine the differential effect by gender of the association between paternal depressive symptoms on child outcomes via father-child conflict. RESULTS Father-child conflict mediated the association between paternal depressive symptoms and emotion regulation problems [standardized indirect effect (SIE) 95% confidence interval (CI) -0.03 to -0.01, p < 0.001; standardized total effect (STE) 95% CI -0.05 to -0.01, p < 0.05] (aim 1). Father-child conflict mediated a larger proportion of the effect in boys (SIE 95% CI -0.03 to -0.01, p < 0.001; STE 95% CI -0.05 to 0.00, p = 0.063) than it did in girls (SIE 95% CI -0.02 to -0.01, p < 0.001; STE 95% CI -0.04 to 0.01, p = 0.216) (aim 2). CONCLUSIONS Father-child conflict may mediate the association between postnatal paternal depressive symptoms and children's emotion regulation problems. Paternal depressive symptoms and father-child conflict resolution may be potential targets in preventative interventions.
