Kolovos, Nikoleta S., Jeff Gill, Peter Michelson, Allan Doctor, and Mary E. Hartman. “Reduction in Mortality Following Pediatric Rapid Response Team Implementation”. Pediatric Critical Care Medicine 19, no. 5 (2018): 477-482
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a physician-led rapid response team (RRT) program on morbidity and mortality following unplanned admission to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Design: Before-after study. Setting: Single center quaternary referral PICU. Patients: All unplanned PICU admissions from the ward from 2005-2011. Interventions: The dataset was divided into pre- and post-RRT…

BMC Health Services Research 18, no. 20 (2018)
Inpatient care for children with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) is expensive, with inpatient charges averaging over $70,000 per case (Hospital Inpatient, Children Only, National Statistics. Diagnoses– clinical classification software (CCS) principal diagnosis category 85 coma, stupor, and brain damage, and 233 intracranial injury. Diagnoses by Aggregate charges [https://hcupnet.ahrq.gov/#setup]). This ranks sTBI in the top…

To understand how the nature of scientific collaboration between individuals and sites in team-based research initiatives affect collaboration and research output, we examined four waves of prospective survey data to measure collaboration across investigators, disciplines, and sites to measure structural determinants of research success. 116 investigators in the five sites of the NIH-funded U54 Transdisciplinary…

Neumayr, Tara, Jeff Gill, and Allan Doctor. “Identifying Risk for Acute Kidney Injury in Infants and Children Following Cardiac Arrest”. Pediatric Critical Care Medicine 18, no. 10 (2017): 446-454
Objective: Our goal was to identify risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI) in children surviving cardiac arrest (CA). Design: Retrospective analysis of a public-access dataset. Setting: Fifteen children’s hospitals associated with the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network. Patients: Two hundred ninety-six subjects between 1 day and 18 years of age who experienced in-hospital…

Steffen, Katherine, Allan Doctor, Julie Hoerr, Jeff Gill, Chris Markham, Sarah M. Brown, Daniel Cohen, et al. “Controlling Phlebotomy Volume Diminishes PICU Transfusion: Implementation Processes and Impact”. Pediatrics 140, no. 2 (2017)
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Phlebotomy excess contributes to anemia in PICU patients and increases the likelihood of red blood cell transfusion, which is associated with risk of adverse outcomes. Excessive phlebotomy reduction (EPR) strategies may reduce the need for transfusion, but have not been evaluated in a PICU population. We hypothesized that EPR strategies, facilitated by implementation…

Lee-Bartlett, Jung Ae, and Jeff Gill. “Missing Value Imputation for Physical Activity Data Measured by Accelerometer”. Statistical Methods In Medical Research 27, no. 2 (2016): 490-506
An accelerometer, a wearable motion sensor on the hip or wrist, is becoming a popular tool in clinical and epidemiological studies for measuring the physical activity. Such data provide a series of activity counts at every minute or even more often and displays a person’s activity pattern throughout a day. Unfortunately, the collected data can…

Background. The long-term and cumulative effect of multiple episodes of bacteremia and sepsis across multiple hospitalizations on the development of cardiovascular (CV) events is uncertain.
