Article Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the effect of opioid use and other factors on inpatient length of stay (LOS) and mortality among patients hospitalized with nonmetastatic colorectal cancer (NMCRC).
Materials And Methods: We analyzed discharge encounters collected from the 2016 to 2017 National Inpatient Sample (NIS) to evaluate the effect of long-term opioid use (90 d or longer) and cancer-related complications on LOS and mortality among hospitalized patients with NMCRC.
Results: A total of 94,535 patients with NMCRC were included in the analysis. Long-term opioid users had a shorter average LOS and reduced inpatient mortality as compared with nonopioid users (5.97±5.75 vs. 6.66±6.92 d, P<0.01; and adjusted odds ratio=0.72, 95% confidence interval: 0.56-0.93, respectively). Factors that significantly increased both LOS and mortality included infection, venous thromboembolism, and chemotherapy-induced neutropenia; the average LOS was 2.7, 2.6, and 0.7 days longer, and the adjusted odds ratio for risk of inpatient mortality was 3.7, 1.2, and 1.2, respectively (P<0.05), for patients admitted with these cancer-related complications.
Conclusions: Long-term opioid use is associated with decreased LOS and inpatient mortality among patients with NMCRC. Individuals admitted for cancer-related complications face a longer LOS and increased mortality as compared with those admitted without these morbidities.

Purpose: The German sector-based healthcare system poses a major challenge to continuous patient monitoring and long-term follow-up, both essential for generating high-quality, longitudinal real-world data. The national Network for Genomic Medicine (nNGM) bridges the inpatient and outpatient care sectors to provide comprehensive molecular diagnostics and personalized treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients in Germany. Building on the established nNGM infrastructure, the DigiNet study aims to evaluate the impact of digitally integrated, personalized care on overall survival (OS) and the optimization of treatment pathways, compared to routine care.

Background: Regular imaging surveillance is guideline-recommended for the management of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) but has not been well described in clinical practice. Here we evaluated the frequency of imaging procedures and associated outcomes, procedures, and healthcare costs in patients with TAA.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study of inpatient and professional claims for 28,459 Medicare beneficiaries age ≥65 years with a diagnosis of TAA between 2017 and 2019 was performed.

Adolescents transitioning from inpatient psychiatric care face heightened vulnerability, with traditional post-discharge approaches failing to address multifaceted mental health challenges. The purpose of this article is to explore the implementation of ecological resilience interventions through a four-dimensional framework comprising family system integration, school collaboration, community resource mobilization, and healthcare coordination to enhance adolescent post-discharge outcomes. This newly proposed integrated approach recognizes resilience emerges from dynamic interactions between individual characteristics and environmental supports across multiple ecological levels.

Return to work is one of the most important aims in the context of psychosomatic rehabilitation. Studies from outside of Germany have reported that high self-efficacy positively influences time to return to work. In this study, the impact of self-efficacy on return to work was investigated after inpatient treatment in a psychosomatic rehabilitation facility of those with mental health disorders.
