Frailty is a critical target for quality improvement in an aging surgical population. @pr_varley ja.ma/3IJajVI

I think the # has increased (anecdotally, we now require it). Also they looked online which idk how clear that is. They also don't list the programs but if you go by Doximity rankings, I'd guess (from memory) the 30 are in the top ~50. Which goes back to your earlier point.

More evidence to support preop frailty assessments can be implemented across all specialties, regardless of case-mix, to facilitate risk stratification & shared decision-making - join us @PeriopSummit in March @SPAQIedu to learn more!

Last time walking out of @UPMC @PittSurgery @PittOncology as a surgical trainee. Can't quantify my gratitude to all the faculty, residents, nurses, OR teams and staff for making it happen. Learned something from each of you every day that I'll bring to my new home @WiscSurgery .
Setting the record for a second day in a row. Notable is the median age of 27. This group may not bump the hospitalization/ICU/death numbers, but may become problematic if they spread it to higher-risk demos.
This is the June 28, 2020 COVID-19 Daily Update.
Today’s 2,568 cases include 96 additional cases, 382 past or present hospitalizations (+1) and 186 deaths (no change). Of the 96 new cases, ages range from 3-84 with 27 being the median age.

Highest daily total in Allegheny County. Not very reassuring.
This is outrageous.

Last Day of surgery for our supreme surgical oncology leader Dr. David Bartlett. I can’t tell you how much I will miss him. I’m speechless (which is hard)

Excited to share our new manuscript in @AnnalsofSurgery showing that prospective #frailty screening as part of routine practice is both feasible and informative, even in high-volume settings. @PittSurgery @PittOncology @UPMCSurgOnc @UPMC @UPMCnews

Congrats to @elgeorge_vascmd for outstanding work on #frailty which won an AAS Resident Research award at #ASC2020. More compelling work from a great group of collaborators including faculty at @StanfordSurgery @PittSurgery, @BCM_Surgery, @UNMCSurgery, and @VUMCSurgery
"Frailty screening is an opportunity to engage in goals of care conversations with patients and their families" Timely research with thoughtful recommendations from @stanfordvasc resident (and AAS Outstanding Resident Research Award winner👏) @elgeorge_vascmd #aging #ASC2020
