Are Many Community Hospitals Undertreating Breast Cancer?: Lessons From 24,834 Patients.
Relationships between hospital characteristics and patient outcomes have been described for various diseases. We show increased use of multimodality therapy, including breast-conserving surgery, and improved overall survival for patients with breast cancer treated at teaching hospitals. Quality improvement measures to improve use of chemotherapy and other adjuvant therapies are needed to improve outcomes for community hospital-treated breast cancer.Page: 154DOI: 10.1097/SLA.0b013e31816c4030Authors: Gutierrez, Juan C.

A Systematic Review of Skills Transfer After Surgical Simulation Training.
This article reviews whether skills acquired through simulation training transfer to the operative setting. Study results suggest that trainees who had simulation-based training performed patient-based procedures better than controls, in some but not all measured parameters. More evidence is required to determine the extent to which simulation should become a part of training.Page: 166DOI: 10.1097/SLA.0b013e318176bf24Authors: Sturm, Lana P. BSc (Hons) *; Windsor, John A.

Bias in Surgical Research.
Familiarity with clinical trials' potential biases helps surgeons assess research's credibility and applicability. This article helps surgeons identify and correct for bias when interpreting a trial, and avoid it when designing and conducting a trial. It suggests areas for future exploration to help improve surgical research's internal and external validity.Page: 180DOI: 10.1097/SLA.0b013e318176bf4bAuthors: Paradis, Carmen MD

ORIGINAL ARTICLE: Trauma Death: Views of the Public and Trauma Professionals on Death and Dying From Injuries
Jacobs, L. M., Burns, K., Bennett Jacobs, B. Mon, 18 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0000
Objectives  To determine the values and preferences of the general public and trauma professionals regarding end-of-life care due to injury so as to inform practice guidelines. Design, Setting, and Participants  Surveys of the general public sampled by random-digit dialing between June 6, 2005, and July 5, 2005, and of a convenience sample of trauma professionals during fall 2005 in the United States were conducted regarding preferences for care in the prehospital, emergency, and critical care settings. Main Outcome Measures  Responses to the survey questions. Results  Most of the public and trauma professionals would prefer palliative care when doctors determine that aggressive critical care would not be beneficial in saving their lives. During resuscitation of an injured loved one, 51.9% of the public and 62.7% of the professionals would prefer to be in the emergency department treatment room. Most of the public believes that patients should have the right to demand care not recommended by their physicians. Most of both groups trust a doctor's decision to withdraw treatment when futility is determined. More of the public (57.4%) than the professionals (19.5%) believe that divine intervention could save a person when physicians believe treatment is futile. Other findings suggest further important insights. Conclusions  The results pose challenges that will require societal discourse to determine the best practice. Resolutions will need to be included in educational curricula and incorporated into practice to ensure that dying trauma victims and their families receive quality end-of-life care.
