Background:. Performing open carpal tunnel release (oCTR) in an office-based procedure room setting (PR) decreases surgical costs when compared with the operating room (OR). However, it is unclear if the risk of major medical, wound, and iatrogenic complications differ between settings. Our purpose was to compare the risk of major medical complications associated with oCTR between PR and OR settings. Methods:. Utilizing the MarketScan Database, we identified adults undergoing isolated oCTR between 2006 and 2015 performed in PR and OR settings. ICD-9-CM and/or CPT codes were used to identify major medical complications, surgical site complications, and iatrogenic complications within 90 days of oCTR. Multivariable logistic regression was used to compare complication risk between groups. Results:. Of the 2134 PR and 76,216 OR cases, the risk of major medical complications was 0.89% (19/2134) and 1.20% (914/76,216), respectively, with no difference observed in the multivariable analysis (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 0.84; 95% CI 0.53–1.33; P = 0.45). Risk of surgical site complications was 0.56% (12/2134) and 0.81% (616/76,216) for the PR and OR, respectively, with no difference in the multivariable analysis (OR 0.68; 95% C.I. 0.38–1.22; P = 0.19). Iatrogenic complications were rarely observed (PR 1/2134 [0.05%], OR 71/76,216 [0.09%]), which precluded multivariable modeling. Conclusion:. These results support a similar safety profile for both the PR and OR surgical settings following oCTR with similar pooled major medical complications, pooled wound/surgical site complications, and iatrogenic complications.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Women with GDM have a 7-fold higher risk of developing T2DM, and rates of GDM are higher among racial and ethnic minorities and women of lower socio-economic status. There are no data on postpartum diabetes screening after the first postpartum year or among women receiving care in FQHCs. We aim to address this gap in the literature by (1) defining the rates of follow-up screening for T2DM at 6–12 weeks and 1–3 years postpartum and (2) characterizing patient, provider, and healthcare system attributes that are associated with lack of follow-up screening for T2DM in a population of low-income women with GDM. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This is a retrospective cohort study of women with GDM during pregnancy receiving care in Missouri FQHCs from 2010 to 2015. Electronic health records (EHR) data from 26 FQHCs is housed in a central repository through the Missouri Primary Care Association (MPCA). This includes patient demographic, lab, and medication information as well as encounter level patient and provider data for the prenatal and postpartum period. EHR data does not include accurate delivery information, however. Pregnancies during the study time frame were identified using CPT and ICD9/10 codes. Deidentified data on individuals with a pregnancy was utilized to identify a subpopulation of “GDM candidates,” using a broad definition of glucose abnormalities as follows: ICD-9/ICD-10 codes for diabetes, medications and testing supplies used for diabetes, infant birth weight ≥4000 g or 8 lb or 13 oz, or abnormal glucose labs [defined as fasting glucose≥95, gestational glucose screen≥130, 1 h test≥130 (or ≥180 if 2 h test and 3 h test recorded on same day), 2 h test≥155, 3 h test≥140, A1C≥6, any glucose≥130, or any positive urine glucose]. This subpopulation was then linked to Medicaid administrative claims data [housed at the University of Missouri Office of Social and Economic Development Analysis (OSEDA)], providing detailed information on delivery, to further characterize patients with GDM in the time frame and provide all dates necessary to classify pregnancy and postpartum periods. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: From the de-identified pregnancy data set including 45,810 individuals, we identified 8008 “GDM candidates.” EHR data were linked to Medicaid claims data for these individuals from 2010 to 2015. Utilizing the enhanced data set, we are defining a pregnancy for each individual by the delivery date in the Medicaid record and an algorithm using lab and ultrasound record dates to define gestational age at delivery. This will result in a pregnancy level data set linked with individual encrypted identifiers with each record representing 1 pregnancy and postpartum period. GDM in pregnancy will be defined as having a baby with birth weight≥4000 g or 8 lb or 13 oz, ICD-9 or ICD-10 code for GDM during pregnancy or at delivery, or an oral glucose tolerance test (oGTT) 12–16 weeks before delivery with 2 or more abnormal results by Carpenter and Coustan criteria. We anticipate that our final GDM data set will include 2000–3000 individuals. We will then calculate the percentage of individuals receiving recommended screening tests at 6–12 weeks (fasting glucose or 2 h oGTT) and 1–3 years postpartum (fasting glucose, 2 h oGTT, HbA1C). We will use multivariable regression techniques to identify risk factors for lack of screening. We will be able to incorporate predictors not previously evaluated including distance from home to health center, access to public transport, specialty and training of the patient’s providers, pregnancy weight gain, postpartum appointment time of day, and number of various types of office visits. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: The creation of a linked data set of pregnancies complicated by GDM in women receiving care in FQHCs in Missouri is the first step toward better characterizing follow-up diabetes screening rates in this population and understanding patient, provider, and healthcare system variables that affect postpartum screening. The ultimate goal is to translate evidence-based patient-centered sustainable interventions into practice for low-income women with a history of GDM and improve population outcomes with the ability to track progress prospectively over time.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: We evaluated the accuracy of diagnosis and procedure codes to identify acute urinary retention (AUR) due to lack of existing validation studies. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We performed a cross-sectional validation study at a single medical institution in the emergency department (ED) and outpatient Urology Clinic in men ≥45 years. International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) diagnosis codes 788.20, 788.21, 788.29 for urinary retention and Current Procedural Terminology, Fourth Edition (CPT-4) codes 51701, 51702, 51703 for urinary catheterization were used to identify men with potential AUR. Four algorithms using ICD-9-CM and CPT-4 codes were compared against medical record review. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and area under the curve were calculated for both the ED and Urology Clinic. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: A total of 333 treated and released men in the ED were identified using facility billing data, and 245 men using physician billing data in the Urology Clinic were identified using the codes for urinary retention or urinary catheterization. Of the 4 algorithms, any ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for urinary retention was the preferred algorithm with a sensitivity and specificity of 0.95 and 0.91 using ED facility billing data and a sensitivity and specificity of 0.95 and 0.58 using Urology physician billing data. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Use of the ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes for urinary retention performed well at identifying AUR in the ED. This study provides justification to use urinary retention diagnosis codes (specifically 788.20 and 788.29) in future studies to identify AUR using administrative data, especially in the ED.

This article explores the application of a trauma-informed lens to the Book of Mormon. It discusses how trauma can affect individuals, families, and communities, and how it can be passed down through generations. The authors argue that a trauma-informed hermeneutic can provide valuable insights into the text and empower readers with unique perspectives. They propose that this lens allows for alternate interpretations, enhances empathy, and can transform disturbing passages into healing ones. The article concludes with an application of trauma-informed hermeneutics in religious settings and emphasizes the importance of being aware of how scriptural trauma may interact with readers' own trauma.

Graph Juniper and Simon seemed drawn to my garden, as children often are. They came to us just before spring arrived, at the same time I began putting seeds into the ground in my garden. Simon was six years old and his sister Juniper right behind him, almost five. The ground was just getting warm enough to welcome some cool-weather plants and I had just planted seeds that morning.
