Summary

While blood clots after major cancer surgery are common and harmful to patients, the medications available to decrease blood clot risk are seldom used despite the recommendation of multiple professional medical societies. The reasons why these medications are seldom prescribed is not well understood. We aim to characterize barriers and facilitators to extended blood clot prophylaxis guideline adherence as perceived by stakeholders via interviews with a diverse group of patients and surgeons at hospitals within the MUSC Health system that routinely perform cancer surgery. These findings will inform educational interventions to improve the use of guideline concordant care and mitigate observed disparities in cancer care.

Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the continuous use of negative pressure dressings for up to 14 days has similar benefits and risks to the continuous use for up to 7 days. The 3M study product being used in this study includes the PREVENA Plus Incision Management System with PREVENA Dressings (Peel & Place, Customizable and ARTHRO●FORM). The study product is considered investigational because it has not been approved by the FDA for continuous use for up to 14 days. It is currently approved for use for up to 7 days.

List of Studies


Keywords

Summary

The goal of the COSMID (Comparison of Surgery and Medicine on the Impact of Diverticulitis) trial is to determine if elective colectomy is more effective than best medical management for patients with quality of life-limiting diverticular disease. The COSMID trial focuses on both patient-reported outcomes and clinical outcomes that matter to patients. The results are expected to establish an evidence-based approach to the care of millions of patients per year in the United States and help people impacted by this common condition make more informed treatment decisions.
