Incidence, contributing factors, and predictors of diagnostic errors in medical inpatients: A retrospective cohort study

open access: yesJournal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Diagnostic error is a major patient safety concern in hospitals, yet most studies have focused on selected high‐risk subgroups, leaving the broader general internal medicine inpatient population understudied. Objectives To determine the incidence, contributing factors, resulting harm, and predictors of diagnostic error in medical ...

An Analysis of Radiographers' False Preliminary Image Evaluation Comments in One New Zealand District

open access: yesJournal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Preliminary image evaluation (PIE) comment errors were evaluated for common errors. These include missed avulsion fractures in the finger, hand, and wrist, while accessory bones in the feet and ankle were mistaken for abnormalities. Identifying these errors provides guidance for ongoing, regular, targeted training to help improve PIE accuracy rates ...

Value of 2‐Dimensional Shear‐Wave Elastography in Assessing Tibial Nerve Stiffness in Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

open access: yesJournal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives The morphological alterations of the tibial nerve in patients with diabetes mellitus, both with and without diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), are challenging to differentiate using B‐mode ultrasound. In this study, we assessed the stiffness changes of the tibial nerve by 2‐dimensional shear‐wave elastography (2D‐SWE). Methods We gathered

Retention or sacrifice of posterior cruciate ligament has no effect on in vitro kinematics in medial pivot total knee arthroplasty

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The role of the posterior cruciate ligament remains debated, particularly in medial pivot designs intended to functionally substitute the posterior cruciate ligament. While some manufacturers recommend posterior cruciate ligament resection, evidence regarding its biomechanical relevance in medial pivot total knee arthroplasty is ...
