IntroductionPrevious studies reported high burnout rates and indicated significant factors associated with burnout syndrome among psychiatric trainees, such as hard working conditions, lack of supervision and not opting for psychiatry as a first career choice.ObjectivesA substantial amount of variance was reported in psychiatry training across countries. However, there is not sufficient national data regarding the rates and risk factors of burnout syndrome among psychiatric trainees in Turkey.AimsTo determine the burnout syndrome rates and the risk factors associated with burnout syndrome among psychiatric trainees.MethodsA questionnaire of occupational, educational and personal factors and Maslach burnout inventory (MBI) were answered by 180 of 450 psychiatric trainees in Turkey. The data was collected from 167 (56% females) trainees who completed the survey material. Converting the scores of three subscales by using MBI manual, a dichotomous variable (severe/non-severe burnout) was obtained for each participant and the data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression models.ResultsMean age was 28.85 ± 2.99-year-old and mean duration of residency was 2.61 ± 1.31 years. Severe burnout was found in 38.3% of the trainees. Logistic regression confirmed that older age (P = 0.02) and pressure from superiors (P = 0.04) are predictive factors associated with severe burnout. The high number of patient visits (P = 0.001), violation of employee personal rights (P = 0.04) and pressure from superiors (P = 0.01) were significantly associated with the “wish working in another institution”.ConclusionsPressure from superiors and older age can be described as risk factors associated with burnout syndrome among psychiatric trainees in Turkey.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Summary Objective: To determine the prevalence of burnout syndrome among resident physicians of various specialties and to evaluate associated factors. Method: The Maslach Burnout Inventory questionnaire and a sociodemographic questionnaire were used to evaluate factors associated with the syndrome. Burnout was defined as the association of high emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and low professional achievement. Multivariate analysis was performed after adjustment of the Poisson model with the identification of risk factors and calculation of prevalence ratios (PR). Of the 250 resident physicians registered with Hospital das Clínicas of Pernambuco, 129 participated in the study. Results: In the three domains that characterize burnout syndrome, we found a low level of professional achievement in 94.6% of resident physicians interviewed, a high level of depersonalization in 31.8%, and 59.7% with a high level of emotional exhaustion. The prevalence of burnout was 27.9%. Having suffered a stressful event in the last six months (PR: 8.10; 95CI 1.2-57.2) and being a student of surgical specialty (PR: 1.99; 95CI 1.2-3.3) were independently associated with burnout. Conclusion: The prevalence of burnout found in resident physicians is in accordance with previous Brazilian studies. Residents of surgical specialties and those who suffered some stressful event were identified as susceptible in this study. The early identification of risk factors is fundamental for the implementation of preventive measures against burnout syndrome.

Background. Burnout syndrome has reached epidemic levels among physicians (reported around 50%). Anesthesiology is among the most stressful medical disciplines but there is paucity of literature as compared with others. Analysis of burnout is essential because it is associated with safety and quality of care. We summarize evidence on burnout in anesthesiology. Methods. We conducted a systematic review (MEDLINE up to 30.06.2017). We included studies reporting burnout in anesthesiology with no restriction on role or screening test used. Results. Fifteen surveys/studies described burnout in anesthesiology, including different workers profiles (nurses, residents, consultants, and directors). All studies used the Maslach Burnout Inventory test but with significant differences for risk stratification. Burnout prevalence greatly varied across studies (10%–41% high risk, up to 59% at least moderate risk). Factors most consistently associated with burnout were strained working pattern, working as younger consultant, and having children. There was no consistent relationship between burnout and hospital characteristics, gender, or marital status. Conclusions. Burnout prevalence among anesthesiologists is relatively high across career stages, and some risk factors are reported frequently. However, the small number of studies as well as the large differences in their methodology and in reporting approach warrants further research in this field.

Burnout syndrome is common among healthcare professions, including resident physicians. We aimed to assess the prevalence of burnout among resident physicians in Jordan, and a secondary aim was to evaluate the risk factors associated with the development of burnout syndrome in those residents, including gender, working hours, psychological distress, training sector, and specialty. In this cross-sectional study, 481 residents were recruited utilizing multistage stratified sampling to represent the four major health sectors in Jordan. Data were collected using an online questionnaire, where the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) was used to assess the prevalence of burnout. The prevalence, group differences, and predictors of burnout were statistically analyzed using STATA 15. Overall, 373 (77.5%) residents were found to have burnout. Factors associated with higher levels of burnout were psychological stress (β = 2.34, CI = [1.88–2.81]), longer working hours (β = 4.07, CI = [0.52–7.62], for 51–75 h a week, β = 7.27, CI = [2.86–11.69], for 76–100 h a week and β = 7.27, CI = [0.06–14.49], for >100 h a week), and obstetrics/gynecology residents (β = 9.66, CI = [3.59–15.73]). Conversely, medical sub-specialty residents, as well as private and university hospital residents, had lower burnout levels. We concluded that decreasing the workload on residents, offering psychological counseling, and promoting a safety culture for residents might help in mitigating burnout consequences.

Background:Myositis-specific antibodies (MSA) are highly specific and useful to classify patients as having syndromes with distinct clinical features and prognosis. MSA are almost always mutually exclusive and quite specific, adding value as a useful biomarker for diagnosis. Although individual autoantibodies aren’t sensitive enough to detect the full spectrum of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), the sensitivity of a myositis panel is increasing as more autoantibodies are discovered, and as better assays become available.Objectives:We aimed to analyze the usefulness of a myositis-specific immunoblot for the diagnosis of IIM in a hospital cohort from January 2019 to December 2020. We also seek to correlate immunological findings with the risk of associated interstitial lung disease (ILD), cancer, or death.Methods:Retrospective single-center observational study conducted in a Spanish tertiary hospital. In patients with high clinical suspicion of IIM, a myositis immunoblot was performed including Jo1, PL-7, PL-12, EJ, SRP, Mi2, Ku, MDA-5, TIF1-γ, HMGCR, PM-Scl and Ro52 antibodies. The demographic characteristics, the risk of ILD, cancer and death were analyzed.Results:In a cohort of 313 patients with high suspicion of IIM, 87 patients (27.8%) presented a positive MSA (MSA+ve). The mean age at diagnosis was 56.7±16.9 years, with no significant differences between MSA+ve and MSA-ve (p=0.597). Most of the patients were women with significant differences between both groups (80.5% MSA+ve vs 68.1% MSA-ve, p=0.030).IIM were classified as antisynthetase syndrome (ARS) (38%), dermatomyositis (DM) (31%), overlap myopathy (OM) (16.9%) and necrotizing myopathy (NM) (14.1%) according to the manifestations and MSA found (Jo1, PL-12, PL-7, EJ in ARS; Mi-2, MDA-5 and TIF1-γ in DM; Ku and PM-Scl in OM; HMGCR and SRP in NM). The most frequent MSA were anti-Jo1 (16.9%), TIF1-γ (15.5%), Ku (12.7%), Mi-2 (9.9%), PL-7 (9.9%), HMCGR (8.5%), PL-12 (7%), MDA-5 (5.6%), SRP (5.6%) and EJ (4.2%). The presence of Ro52 associated with other MSA was found in 20 patients (22.9%).ILD was the most frequent manifestation (45.2% of the MSA+ve). Non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) was the most frequent ILD (39.5%), followed by usual interstitial pneumonia (34.2%). The main risk factors associated with IIM-ILD were some subtypes of the MSAs (p<0.001), the association of Ro52 (p<0.001), and older age (p=0.027). Among the IIM, ARS and OM (p<0.001) were more frequently associated with IIM-ILD. The MSAs most associated with IIM-ILD were Jo1, PL-7, PM-Scl, Ku and SRP (p<0.001).Cancer was found in 9.6% of MSA+ve patients. The most frequent tumors were gynecological (37.5%), followed by gastrointestinal (25%) and breast cancer (12.5%). Factors associated with cancer were age (p=0.010), TIF1-γ (p<0.001), SRP (p=0.004), PL-12 (p=0.013), PL-7 (p=0.047) and HMGCR (p=0.027).The mortality of these patients was 3.5%. There were no differences regarding MSA+ve/-ve (p = 0.911). However, MDA-5 (p=0.033) and older age (p=0.001) were associated with higher mortality. There were no significant differences between the IIM classifications, the associated SAD, the presence of cancer or ILD. However, longer follow-up periods and future studies are necessary to confirm these results.Conclusion:The use of a myositis blot allowed classifying, stratifying the risk of ILD, the risk of cancer and the risk of mortality in IIM. IIM-ILD was the most frequent complication, usually manifested as NSIP. The associated risk factors were ARS, OM, some MSAs, Ro52+ and older age. Cancer was a serious and frequent manifestation in these patients, especially in patients with TIF1-γ and other MSAs, so it is essential to know the risk factors and perform an early screening, especially in older patients.A better knowledge of the serological profiles of IIM will provide more individualized approaches and better risk stratification, helping in the management and treatment of these patients.References:[1]Satoh et al.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate rates of distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) fixation based on location of the radial shaft fracture and risk factors associated with postoperative complications following radial shaft open reduction internal fixation (ORIF). Methods: Adult patients who underwent isolated radial shaft ORIF from 2014 to 2018 were identified from American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database and stratified by fracture location and by the presence or absence of DRUJ fixation. Preoperative patient characteristics and postoperative complications were compared to determine risk factors associated with DRUJ fixation. Results: We identified 1517 patients who underwent isolated radial shaft ORIF, of which 396 (26.1%) underwent DRUJ fixation. Preoperative patient characteristics and postoperative complications were similar between cohorts. Distal radioulnar joint fixation was performed in 50 (30.7%) of 163 distal radial shaft fractures, 191 (21.8%) of 875 midshaft fractures, and 3 (13.0%) of 23 proximal shaft fractures ( P = .025). Risk factors for patients readmitted include male sex (odds ratio [OR] = 12.76, P = .009) and older age (OR = 4.99, P = .035). Risk factors for patients with any postoperative complication include dependent functional status (OR = 6.78, P = .02), older age (50-69 vs <50) (OR = 2.73, P = .05), and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) ≥3 (OR = 2.45, P = .047). Conclusions: The rate of DRUJ fixation in radial shaft ORIF exceeded previously reported rates of concomitant DRUJ injury, especially among distal radial shaft fractures. More distally located radial shaft fractures are significantly associated with higher rates of DRUJ fixation. Male sex is a risk factor for readmission, whereas dependent functional status, older age, and ASA ≥3 are risk factors for postoperative complications.

Abstract Background Postoperative ischemic stroke is a devastating complication following total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose of the current study was to investigate the incidence of postoperative acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in patients ≥70 years old with THA for hip fracture after 90 days and independent risk factors associated with 90-day AIS. Methods A multicenter retrospective study was conducted, patients ≥70 years old with THA for hip fracture under general anesthesia were included from February 2017 to March 2020. Patients with AIS within 90 days after THA were identified as AIS group; patients with no AIS were identified as no AIS group. The baseline characteristics and risk factors were collected, multivariable logistic regression was used to identify independent risk factors of 90-dayAIS. Results: 2517 patients (mean age 76.18 ± 6.01) were eligible for inclusion in the study. 2.50% (63/2517) of patients had 90-day AIS. Compared with no AIS, older age, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, atrial fibrillation (AF) and higher D-dimer value were more likely in patients with AIS (P < 0.05), and anticoagulant use was fewer in patients with AIS. ROC curve analysis showed that the optimal cut point of D-dimer for AIS was D-dimer≥4.12 μg/ml. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that D-dimer≥4.12 μg/ml [adjusted odds ratio (aOR), 4.44; confidence interval (CI), 2.50–7.72; P < 0.001], older age (aOR, 1.08; 95%CI, 1.03–1.12; P < 0.001), hyperlipidemia (aOR, 2.28; 95%CI, 1.25–4.16; P = 0.007), atrial fibrillation (aOR, 5.84; 95% CI, 1.08–15.68; P = 0.001), and diabetes (aOR, 2.60; 95% CI, 1.56–4.39; P < 0.001) were associated with increased risk of 90-day AIS after THA. Conclusions In conclusion, we found that the incidence of 90-day AIS in patients≥70 years old with THA for hip fracture was 2.5%. Older age, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, AF and higher D-dimer value were independent risk factors for 90-day AIS in patients≥70 years old with THA for hip fracture.

Aims of our study were to describe the long-term survival in patients surviving an acute tubular necrosis (ATN) episode and determine factors associated with late mortality. We performed a prospective cohort study that evaluated the long-term outcome of 212 patients surviving an ATN episode. Mortality at the end of followup was 24.5%, and the probability of these patients being alive 5 years after discharge was 55%. During the followup, 4.7% of patients needed chronic dialysis. Univariate analysis showed that previous CKD (), cardiovascular disease (), age greater than 60 years (), and higher SCr baseline (), after 12 months () and 36 months (), were predictors of long-term mortality. In multivariate analysis, older age (HR = 6.4, CI 95% = 1.2–34.5, ) and higher SCr after 12 months (HR = 2.1, 95% CI 95% = 1.14–4.1, ) were identified as risk factors associated with late mortality. In conclusion, 55% of patients surviving an ATN episode were still alive, and less than 5% required chronic dialysis 60 months later; older age and increased Scr after 12 months were identified as risk factors associated with late death.

IntroductionThe intention of this study is to show the frequency of the burnout syndrome among the population seen at psychiatric ER for the most severe complication of the burnout, the suicide attempt.Objective(a) To demonstrate the frequency of burnout among the population examined at psychiatric ER for suicide attempt.(b) To establish a correlation between the frequency of burnout and:– the socio-demographic characteristics;– the psychiatric follow-up;– the type of personality found.MethodsDescriptive study on a sample of 92 patients examined at psychiatric ER between 01/02/2014 and 01/06/2014 after a suicide attempt, seen by a single doctor. The patients received the Maslach Burnout inventory (MBI).ResultsThe frequency of burnout among the population consulted for suicide attempts is 8.7%. The limitations of this study were: the use of MBI questionnaire only by one doctor and a collection of data carried on a certain period of time.I managed to characterize the population seen after the suicide attempt induced by the burnout: 88% women; 25% foreign population working in a context with many responsibilities; the predominance of obsessive personality – 50%, followed by anxious personality type – 25%; the suicide attempt was done by a population without psychiatric history and without psychiatric follow-up – 75%; the studied population is divided between patients working in a high responsibility environment – 36% and patients working in the social or the public environment – 63%.Eighty-eight percent of patients were brought in after their first suicide attempt.ConclusionDespite the fact that until now a unanimous definition has not been formulated on the CIM-10, the burnout syndrome is one of the most popular disorders.The problematic is real, considering that this syndrome, which starts with a psychological distress, can escalade to a self-aggressive behaviour.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Purpose The use of trastuzumab in the adjuvant setting improves outcomes but is associated with cardiotoxicity manifested as congestive heart failure (CHF). The rates and risk factors associated with trastuzumab-related CHF among older patients are unknown. Patients and Methods Breast cancer patients at least 66 years old with full Medicare coverage, diagnosed with stage I-III breast cancer between 2005 and 2009, and treated with chemotherapy were identified in the SEER-Medicare and in the Texas Cancer Registry–Medicare databases. The rates and risk factors associated with CHF were evaluated. Chemotherapy, trastuzumab use, comorbidities, and CHF were identified using International Classification of Diseases, version 9, and Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System codes. Analyses included descriptive statistics and Cox proportional hazards models. Results In total, 9,535 patients were included, of whom 2,203 (23.1%) received trastuzumab. Median age of the entire cohort was 71 years old. Among trastuzumab users, the rate of CHF was 29.4% compared with 18.9% in nontrastuzumab users (P < .001). Trastuzumab users were more likely to develop CHF than nontrastuzumab users (hazard ratio [HR], 1.95; 95% CI, 1.75 to 2.17). Among trastuzumab-treated patients, older age (age > 80 years; HR, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.16 to 2.10), coronary artery disease (HR, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.34 to 2.48), hypertension (HR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.50), and weekly trastuzumab administration (HR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.05 to 1.68) increased the risk of CHF. Conclusion In this large cohort of older breast cancer patients, the rates of trastuzumb-related CHF are higher than those reported in clinical trials. Among patients treated with trastuzumab, those with cardiac comorbidities and older age may be at higher risk. Further studies need to confirm the role that the frequency of administration plays in the development of trastuzumab-related CHF.
