1 2010 VS. Bradley A. Sharpe, MD Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine UCSF Division of Hospital Medicine 2010 Present updated literature since April 2009 Process: CME collaborative review of journals Including ACP J. Club, J. Watch, etc. Four hospitalists ranked articles Definitely include, can include, don t include Removed articles covered by others 2010 Chose articles based on 3 criteria: 1) Change your practice 2) Modify your practice 3) Confirm your practice Hope to not use the words Markov model, Kaplan-Meier, Student s t-test Focus on breadth, not depth 1
2 2010 Major reviews/short takes Case-based format Audience Response System Syllabus/Bookkeeping No conflicts of interest Handouts available today Key slides Final presentation available by Case Presentation A 67 year-old woman with a history of HTN presents with syncope. She is generally healthy and lives alone. On the day of admission she was cooking dinner and the next thing she knew, she woke up on the floor of her kitchen. In addition to taking a complete history and performing a physical exam, what tests should you order? Which diagnostic test is the highest-yield and most cost-effective in this patient with syncope? A. Head CT B. Telemetry for 24 hours C. EKG D. Troponin I E. Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) F. Orthostatic vital signs G. Tilt-table testing (Although you really don t even know what it is, how it is done, or when to order it, you think it makes you sound smarter to order it) 0% 0% Head CT Telemetry for...

3 Diagnostic Tests in Syncope Question: What are the highest-yield and most costeffective diagnostic tests in elderly patients w/ syncope? Design: Retrospective cohort study; 2100 pts; All > 65 yo. Noted studies ordered, if tests made diagnosis/changed management 53% of patients had a diagnosis for syncope Most common causes: vasovagal, orthostasis Wanted to determine cost per positive test Mendu ML, et al.

Design: Retrospective cohort study; pts > 65 yo. Noted diagnostic yield, cost per test; Conclusion: Orthostatic vitals - the best test; EKG, tele, and troponin I high-yield, low cost; Others should be based on history, exam, etc. Comments: Retrospective design, confounders, cost est. Probably should not use shotgun approach ACC: echo, stress test, for unexplained syncope ACP guidelines: only hx, exam, EKG up front Hx, exam, orthostatics, EKG, tele, troponin I Mendu ML, et al. Arch Intern Med. 2009;169:1299. Which diagnostic test is the highest-yield and most cost-effective in this patient with syncope? Case Presentation A. Head CT B. Telemetry for 24 hours C. EKG D. Troponin I E. Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) F. Orthostatic vital signs G. Tilt-table testing (Although you really don t even know what it is, how it is done, or when to order it, you think it makes you sound smarter to order it) Her history and exam are not revealing, her EKG is sinus with no evidence of ischemia, and her troponin I is negative. She is admitted for telemetry and observation. The next morning she develops rapid atrial fibrillation (HR 150s). Her blood pressure is stable but she has palpitations. 4
5 For this patient with no CHF and normal renal function, what would you do for rate control for the afib? A. Intravenous amiodarone. B. Intravenous digoxin. C. Intravenous diltiazem. D.

Open-label RCT, 150 pts; rapid afib (HR>120); uncomplicated Conclusion:Earlier rate control, more rate control, shorter LOS with dilt vs. digoxin or amio; Better symptom relief; Comments:Small study, did not include β-blockers; Limited to Chinese pts; generalizeable? Diltiazem prob better w/ uncomplicated afib Supports expert guidelines (ACC/ACP); can apply to afib in the hospital; P < for Diltiazem vs. both Siu C, et al. Crit Care Med. July 2009;37(7):2174. For this patient with no CHF and normal renal function, what would you do for rate control for the afib? A. Intravenous amiodarone. B. Intravenous digoxin. C. Intravenous diltiazem. D. Intravenous metoprolol. E. Shock, baby, shock! Case Continued You give intravenous diltiazem and after two doses her rate is less than 100 beats per minute. Feeling pretty good about yourself, you visit her roommate, a 68 year-old nursing home resident with S. aureus osteomyelitis. He is complaining of new swelling in his right arm. He has a diffusely swollen R arm but no redness or joint swelling and has full range of motion. Oh yeah, he has a PICC line in that arm. 6

VTE with PICCs Question: What is the in-hospital VTE risk in inpatients with PICCs? What factors predict VTE? Design: Retrospective chart review of adult gen med inpatients, single university-affiliated community hospital; 954 PICCs; 777 patients Symptomatic patients only Mean age 61; 60% women Lobo, et al. J Hosp Med 2009;4: % developed upper extremity DVT 1% developed pulmonary embolism Rate: 5.10 VTE events/1000 PICC-days Odds Ratio (95% CI) Hx of VTE (7%) ( ) PICC not central (not SVC/RA) 2.61 ( ) VTE with PICCs Question: Design: What is the in-hospital VTE risk in inpatients with PICCs? What factors predict VTE? Retrospective review of consecutive adult gen med inpatients, single community hospital Conclusion:4.5% had VTE complication; hx VTE and non-central PICC location assoc w/vte Comment: Single site, retrospective, descriptive study. Verify PICC location upon insertion; consider VTE risk with PICC if VTE hx Treat UE DVT like a LE DVT; Lobo, et al. J Hosp Med 2009;4: Lobo, et al. J Hosp Med 2009;4:
8 What is the risk of thromboembolism (VTE) in inpatients with PICCs? A. 0.5% in medical inpatients B. 5% in medical inpatients C. 10% in medical inpatients D. 30% in medical inpatients E. Forget the PICC for S. aureus, I just give the Zyvox baby (Linezolid). Case Continued You order an ultrasound which reveals an acute RUE DVT. The PICC is removed and placed in the L arm and you anticoagulate the patient. At the time of discharge, the nurse asks (standard procedure) Should he get the pneumovax before he goes? Is there any benefit in nursing home patients? Short Take: Pneumovax in nursing homes A double blind RCT of 1006 Japanese nursing home residents comparing 23-valent pneumovax vs. placebo showed ~ 4.5% decreased risk for pneumococcal pneumonia The risk of death from pneumococcal disease declined 35%. Summary Definitely 1) Use diltiazem instead of digoxin or amiodarone for rate control of uncomplicated atrial fibrillation. 2) Give the pneumovax to eligible nursing home patients. Consider 1) Limiting evaluation of syncope in patients 65 yo to history, exam, orthostatics, tele, EKG, troponin I. 2) The risk of VTE with PICC lines is ~ 5%. Maruyama, et al. BMJ. 2010;340:c
9 Case Presentation A 60 year-old man with COPD, HTN, and chronic back pain is admitted with increasing cough, chest pain, and dyspnea. He is tachypneic and hypoxic on exam. Based on your evaluation, you think he has a COPD exacerbation. At some point the patient mentions that his chest pain may be ripping or tearing in nature and maybe radiating to the back. In general, you feel this is unlikely to be PE or aortic dissection but wish you could rule them out easily. What test(s) could you order to rule out PE and aortic dissection? A. MRI of the chest. B. Ultrasound of the lower extremities. C. D-dimer. D. CT scan of the chest. E. Trans-esophageal echocardiogram (TEE) F. Who cares. We probably can t get the test done here anyway. I hate my job.

D-dimer in Aortic Dissection Question: Can D-dimer testing aid in the evaluation of acute aortic dissection? Design: Prospective, multi-center, 222 suspected aortic dissection; all D-dimer + other; Patient with < 24 hours of symptoms High suspicion = high enough to image 87 patients with dissection Suzuki T, et al. Circulation. 2009;119:

Circulation. 2009;119:2702. True for both type A and type B dissection D-dimer in Aortic Dissection Question: Can D-dimer testing aid in the evaluation of acute aortic dissection? Design: Prospective, multi-center, 222 suspected aortic dissection; all D-dimer + other; Conclusion: D-dimer at a level of 500 ng/ml rule out dissection 95% of the time; Poor specificity (coin toss) Comments: Small study but prospective, international Need more to become standard of care May help if truly low pre-test probability for dissection (or imaging not available) What test(s) could you order to rule out PE and aortic dissection? A. MRI of the chest. B. Ultrasound of the lower extremities. C. D-dimer. D. CT scan of the chest. E. Trans-esophageal echocardiogram (TEE) F. Who cares. We probably can t get the test done here anyway. I hate my job. Suzuki T, et al. Circulation. 2009;119:
11 Case Continued His D-dimer is slightly elevated but a subsequent CT scan is negative for PE and dissection. You admit the patient and treat him for a COPD exacerbation with bronchodilators, steroids, and antibiotics. Before leaving at the end of the day, you read the final CT report: 1. No evidence of pulmonary embolism. 2. There is a new 1 cm pulmonary nodule in the R upper lobe. Clinical correlation is recommended. Prevalence of clinically relevant incidental findings on CT s ordered to diagnose PE? A. Rare less than 1%. B. Less than 5%. C. About 10%. D. Around 25%. E. Clinical correlation!?!?

12 Incidental CT Scan Findings Question: What is the prevalence of clinically relevant incidental findings on CTAs for PE? Design: Retrospective, cross-sectional, 589 CTA s; Ordered by ED; reviewed final read for findings; Conclusion:Incidental findings common in CTAs for PE; Many require followup new nodules/lad; Did also have alternative diagnoses Comment: Retrospective, single site; But consecutive sampling ~ real world Alternative diagnosis: good CXR? Poor follow-up but all necessary? Hall, et al. Arch Intern Med. 2009; 169(2):1961 Incidental CT Scan Findings A. Rare less than 1%. B. Less than 5%. C. About 10%. D. Around 25%. E. Clinical correlation!?!? I ll give you a clinical correlation!!! Case Continued In addition, he had labs drawn at 3pm and you notice his creatinine has increased from 0.9 mg/dl to 1.3 mg/dl over a 36 hour period. Do you need to worry about this increase in creatinine? Short Take: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) and Outcomes Retrospective cohort and case-control study of 735 adult patients with AKI (increase of serum creatinine of >0.3 mg/dl within 48 hours); 5089 controls at a single community teaching hospital Patients with AKI were: 8 x more likely to die in the hospital 5 x more likely to have LOS > 7 days ~5 x more likely to require critical care Barrantes, et al. Mayo Clin Proc. 2009;84(5):
13 Case Continued You go in with your team discuss the new pulmonary nodule with the patient. His wife who you have not met is there. You reach out to shake her hand and she withdraws. So have you? Umm, ahh... So have you washed your hands? There are signs all over the hospital saying that I should ask you. So have you? Have you washed your hands? A. Sure as you hit the alcohol dispenser on the wall. B. Definitely, before and after each patient contact. C. Of course (as you wipe mustard from lunch on your pants) D. Have you?

14 Improving Hand Hygiene Question: Design: Can a multimodal intervention improve healthcare worker hand hygiene? Hand hygiene intervention 5 hosp units; multimodal intervention over 2 weeks; before/after observations Conclusion:Multimodal intervention can improve adherence; MD champion likely key; Rates still remain poor; Comment: Valuable lessons for all hospitals; System issue or personal responsibility? Change physician behavior? Have you washed your hands? A. Sure as you hit the alcohol dispenser on the wall. B. Definitely, before and after each patient contact. C. Of course (as you wipe mustard from lunch on your pants) D. Have you? Saint, et al. Qual Saf Health Care 2009;18:429 Summary Definitely 1) Appreciate how common important incidental findings are in CT scans for PE. Consider 1) Using D-dimer to rule out aortic dissection. 2) Small increases in creatinine in the hospital may be important. 3) How hard it is to get providers to wash their hands. 14
15 Case Presentation A 60 year-old woman with diabetes presents to the ED after being found confused in her apartment. On presentation she is somnolent and oriented only to self. She complains of headache. Her exam is notable for T 38.9 o C, somnolence, and nuccal rigidity. Given your high suspicion for acute bacterial meningitis, you start empiric antibiotics, perform an LP, and admit her to the hospital. Should you treat acute bacterial meningitis with steroids as well as antibiotics? A. Depends on the gram stain only if it shows gram positive cocci. B. Yes in this patient. C. In children but not in adults. D. Nuccal rigidity... you know, I like saying the word nuccal. Nuccal. 18% 45% 34% 3% Depends on the... Yes in this pa... In children bu... Nuccal rigidit... Steroids in Acute Bacterial Meningitis : Question: What is the clinical effect of adjuvant steroids in acute bacterial meningitis?

Design: Systematic review/meta-analysis, placebocontrolled, randomized trials Conclusion:Steroids + abx in dev countries, low HIV improve mortality; prevent neuro sequelae; Comment: Few trials; more study needed esp in HIV; HIV? Access to care? Socioeconomic status? Use steroids with abx if developed/hiv-; Give before or with antibiotics; 4 day regimen, 0.6 mg/kg/day. Assiri, et al. Mayo Clin Proc 2009;84(5): Should you treat acute bacterial meningitis with steroids as well as antibiotics? Case Continued A. Depends on the gram stain only if it shows gram positive cocci. B. Yes in this patient. C. In children but not in adults. D. Nuccal rigidity... you know, I like saying the word nuccal. Nuccal. You give steroids with the first dose of antibiotics. Unfortunately, she worsens over the next few hours with progressive neurologic decline. As you are leaving for the day, a code blue is called for presumed herniation. As you arrive at the room, the patient s son and daughter wait outside. They ask if they can go into the room to be present for the resuscitation. Do you allow the patient s family to be present during the resuscitation? 16
17 Do you allow the family to be present during the resuscitation? Family Presence at Medical Codes A. Yes, it is helpful for them to see that everything is being done. B. No, it would be too traumatic for them to see a full code blue. C. Yes, my hospital has an official policy allowing families to be present. D. No, having them present might impair the performance of the code team. E. Hard to come up with an appropriate joke answer for this one. Sorry.

Lansberg MG, et al. Stroke. July 2009;40:2438. Do you allow the family to be present during the resuscitation? A. Yes, it is helpful for them to see that everything is being done. B. No, it would be too traumatic for them to see a full code blue. C. Yes, my hospital has an official policy allowing families to be present. D. No, having them present might impair the performance of the code team. E. Hard to come up with an appropriate joke answer for this one. Sorry. Short Take: Chest compression A prospective study of 509 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (VF or VT) examined percent time given chest compressions and outcomes. Increased percent time patients were given chest compressions increased the odds of surviving to hospital discharge (11% increase for each 10% increase in time spent). Short Take: Cold Hands Consecutive critically-ill patients (80% with shock) were stabilized (normal blood pressure) and had skin temperature assessed by subjective and mechanical means. Patients with cold hands and poor perfusion had more organ dysfunction, higher lactate, and were more likely to worsen and have further organ dysfunction. Christensen J, et al. Circulation. Sept 2009;120:1241. Lima A, et al. Crit Care Med. 2009;37:
19 Case Continued In the meeting you intend to empathetically explain the situation and: After 48 hours she remains intubated and comatose with minimal neurolgic recovery despite maximal treatment. Her prognosis is incredibly poor given her underlying disease and events in the hospital. You arrange for a family meeting with the patient s son and daughter. A. Let the family decide what course to take. B. Recommend limitations regarding life support. C. Ask the family if they would like your recommendation regarding life support. D. Refuse to perform CPR if she codes again. E. Tell them, Hey, I think I m going to refer this to one of Obama s death panels.

20 End of Life Recommendations Question: Should physicians recommend limitations of life support to surrogates? Design: Prospective study, 169 surrogate decisionmakers for critically ill patients; Watched videos of simulated family meetings Conclusion: Over 40% preferred no MD recommendation Felt might make the process harder; felt it could impair the relationship with the MD Comment: No consensus on if we should provide recs Best practice probably to ask if surrogates want a recommendation In the meeting you intend to empathetically explain the situation and: A. Let the family decide what course to take. B. Recommend limitations regarding life support. C. Ask the family if they would like your recommendation regarding life support. D. Refuse to perform CPR if he codes again. E. Tell them, Hey, I think I m going to refer this to one of Obama s death panels. White DB, et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 2009;180:320. Short Take: End-of-Life Conversations Summary Do end-of-life (EOL) conversations impact healthcare costs in the last week of life? In a prospective study of 627 patients with advanced cancer, having EOL conversations at baseline was associated with lower costs in the last week of life. Higher costs in the last week were associated with a worse quality of death. Zhang B, et al. Arch Intern Med. Mar 2009;169:80. Definitely 1) Prioritize chest compressions in any resuscitation. Consider 1) The consequences of allowing family members to be present at resuscitations. 2) Cold hands, even with normal blood pressure, may be a poor prognostic marker in ICU patients. 3) Asking families and surrogates if they would like your opinion regarding limiting care. 4) The cost consequences of not having EOL conversations in patients with advanced cancer. 20
