RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the long-term influence of preoperative invasive coronary screening and preventive myocardial revascularization on mortality and cardiac complications after open surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). MATERIAL AND METHODS: We present long-term outcomes after open surgery for AAA between 2011 and 2022. Patients without clinical or objective signs of coronary artery disease were included. In the 1st group, routine coronary angiography was performed before surgery. Prophylactic myocardial revascularization was performed in 12 cases. Long-term data on 45 patients were obtained. In the 2nd group, 53 patients underwent repair without invasive coronary screening, and data on 48 patients were obtained in this group. RESULTS: The median follow-up was 32 and 79 months, respectively. Kaplan-Meyer overall 48-month survival was 87.3% and 82.1%, respectively (p=0.278). In the first group, 2 patients developed angina pectoris in the same period. In the second group, we observed 2 cases of myocardial infarction and 3 cases of angina pectoris without infarction. Analysis of survival curves found no significant differences (p=0.165). CONCLUSION: In our study, invasive coronary screening and preventive myocardial revascularization in patients without clinical and objective signs of coronary artery did not improve 4-year long-term period after abdominal aortic repair. Perhaps, differences will appear after 4 years, and this requires further follow-up after coronary angiography. However, there is a tendency towards more common onsets of coronary artery disease that dictates the need for cardiac monitoring of such patients.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the association between low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), complication rescue, and long-term survival after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting. METHODS: National cohort study of patients who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (2000-2016) using Veterans Affairs Surgical Quality Improvement Program data. Left ventricular ejection fraction was categorized as ≥35% (n = 55,877), 25%-34% (n = 3893), or <25% (n = 1707). Patients were also categorized as having had no complications, 1 complication, or more than 1 complication. The association between LVEF, complication rescue, and risk of death was evaluated with multivariable Cox regression. RESULTS: Among 61,477 patients, 6586 (10.7%) had a perioperative complication and 2056 (3.3%) had multiple complications. Relative to LVEF ≥35%, decreasing ejection fraction was associated with greater odds of complications (25%-34%, odds ratio, 1.30 [1.18-1.42]; <25%, odds ratio, 1.65 [1.43-1.92]). There was a dose-response relationship between decreasing LVEF and overall risk of death (≥35% [ref]; 25%-35%, hazard ratio, 1.46 [1.37-1.55]; <25%, hazard ratio, 1.68 [1.58-1.79]). Among patients who were rescued from complications, there were decreases in 10-year survival, regardless of LVEF. Among those rescued after multiple complications, LVEF was no longer associated with risk of death. CONCLUSIONS: While decreasing LVEF is associated with post-coronary artery bypass grafting complications, patients rescued from complications have worse long-term survival, regardless of left ventricular function. Prevention and timely treatment of complications should remain a focus of quality improvement initiatives, and future work is needed to mitigate their long-term detrimental impact on survival.

OBJECTIVES: To assess intermediate-term outcomes of aortic root replacement with valve-sparing reimplantation of bicuspid aortic valves (BAV), compared with tricuspid aortic valves (TAV). METHODS: From January 2002 to July 2017, 92 adults underwent aortic root replacement with BAV reimplantation and 515 with TAV reimplantation at the Cleveland Clinic. Balancing-score matching based on 28 preoperative variables yielded 71 well-matched BAV and TAV pairs (77% of possible pairs) for comparison of postoperative mortality and morbidity, longitudinal echocardiogram data, aortic valve reoperation, and survival. RESULTS: In the BAV group, 1 hospital death occurred (1.1%); mortality among all reimplantations was 0.2%. Among matched patients, procedural morbidity was low and similar between BAV and TAV groups (1 stroke in TAV group; renal failure requiring dialysis, 1 patient each; red cell transfusion, 25% each). Five-year results: Severe aortic regurgitation was present in 7.4% of the BAV group and 2.9% of the TAV group (P = .7); 39% of BAV and 65% of TAV patients had none. Higher mean gradients (10 vs 7.4 mm Hg; P = .001) and left ventricular mass index (111 vs 101 g/m2; P = .5) were present in BAV patients. Freedom from aortic valve reoperation was 94% in the BAV group and 98% in the TAV group (P = .10), and survival was 100% and 95%, respectively (P = .07). CONCLUSIONS: Both BAV and TAV reimplantations can be performed with equal safety and good midterm outcomes; however, the constellation of higher gradients, less ventricular reverse remodeling, and more aortic valve reoperations with BAV reimplantations raises concerns requiring continued long-term surveillance.

Breast implants are used for a wide range of cosmetic and reconstructive purposes. In addition to breast augmentation, implants can be used for postmastectomy breast reconstruction, correction of congenital breast anomalies, breast or chest wall deformities, and male-to-female top surgery. Breast implants may confer significant benefits to patients, but several factors are important to consider preoperatively, including the impact on mammography, future lactation, and potential long-term implant complications (e.g., infection, capsular contracture, rupture, and the need for revision, replacement, or removal). A fundamental understanding of implant monitoring is also paramount to implant use. Patients with silicone breast implants should undergo routine screening for implant rupture with magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasonography completed five to six years postoperatively and then every two to three years thereafter. With the exception of complications, there are no formal recommendations regarding the timing of breast implant removal or exchange. Women with unilateral breast swelling should be evaluated with ultrasonography for an effusion that might indicate breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma. There are no specific breast cancer screening recommendations for patients with breast implants, but special mammographic views are indicated to enhance accuracy. Although these discussions are a routine component of consultation and postoperative follow-up for plastic surgeons performing these procedures, family physicians should have a working knowledge of implant indications, characteristics, and complications to better counsel their patients, to ensure appropriate screening, and to coordinate care after surgery.

BACKGROUND: The role of perioperative radiotherapy in the management of resectable extremity soft tissue sarcoma (ESTS) is widely recognised for local tumour control, wound complications (WC) and long-term function. However, debate continues regarding its implications on long-term survival. This study aimed to determine whether the timing of perioperative radiotherapy affects long-term survival outcomes in adults with ESTS. METHODS: A systematic literature search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane was performed. The primary outcome measure was the pooled hazard ratio (HR) at 95% confidence intervals. Secondary outcomes and subgroup analyses were presented as cumulative odds ratios (OR). A random-effects, generic inverse variance method and sensitivity analysis were performed to minimise heterogeneity. RESULTS: Six studies (nâ¯=â¯4192 patients) were identified. Time-to-event analysis demonstrated a statistically significant advantage in post-operative radiotherapy for overall survival (HR 1.15 and pâ¯=â¯0.05). Combined HRs for disease-free (1.25 and pâ¯=â¯0.22) and disease-specific (1.06 and pâ¯=â¯0.43) survival also favoured post-operative radiotherapy but did not achieve statistical significance. Post-operative radiotherapy was shown to confer an overall (OR 1.19 and pâ¯=â¯0.01), disease-free (OR 1.19 and pâ¯=â¯0.01) and disease-specific (OR 1.19 and pâ¯=â¯0.01) survival advantage on subgroup analysis. This survival benefit was best observed at three years in the disease-free survival comparison (OR 1.55 and pâ¯=â¯0.003). Preoperative radiotherapy was associated with more WC (OR 2.74 and p<0.00001). CONCLUSIONS: Pooled analysis of published literature suggests that post-operative radiotherapy confers a significant long-term survival advantage with fewer WC. Further large multicentre randomised controlled trials with long-term follow-up are required to determine the optimal perioperative radiotherapy regime in adult ESTS.

Many people with chronic pain escalate their opioid dosage to counteract tolerance effects. A treatment regimen consisting of placebos admixed with opioids has been suggested as a possible therapeutic option that could reduce the harm of long-term opioid use. However, the analgesic efficacy of such a regimen requires further investigation before widespread adoption. We have recently reported that a 4-day pharmacological conditioning procedure, which paired morphine (6 mg/kg) with contextual cues, elicited placebo analgesia in subpopulations of male (35%) and female (25%) rats with sciatic nerve chronic constriction injury (CCI). Here, we investigated how an escalating morphine dosage during conditioning affects the incidence and strength of placebo analgesia. Forty-four male, Sprague-Dawley rats received CCI. Thirty-eight (86%) rats developed strong cold allodynia by day 6 post-surgery, as measured by hind paw withdrawal (HPW) behaviour on a 5°C cold plate (120 s). In this experiment, pharmacological conditioning consisted of an escalating morphine dose over 4 days (8/9/10/12 mg/kg). This dosing regimen produced strong reductions in HPW behaviour and counteracted the effects of morphine tolerance during conditioning. However, none of the rats given the placebo treatment (n = 12) demonstrated reductions in HPW behaviour when morphine was substituted for saline (i.e. placebo analgesia), but instead showed a strong behavioural response (rearing). These results demonstrate that a high, escalating dose of morphine failed to produce conditioned placebo analgesia in rats with CCI. It is possible that admixing placebos with opioids may be similarly ineffective in chronic pain patients when the opioids regimen is high or escalating.

ABSTRACT: Endoscopic resection (ER) for non-ampullary duodenal lesions (NADLs) is technically more difficult than lesions of the stomach. However, endoscopic treatment of duodenal lesions has been increasingly performed in recent years. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ER for NADLs.Patients who underwent ER for NADLs between 2004 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical and pathologic features of the lesions including the clinical outcomes and adverse events were analyzed.The study included 80 patients with NADLs. The mean age of patients was 59.3âyears (22-80âyears), the mean size of the lesion was 8.8â±â7.0âmm, and the mean procedure time was 13.2â±â11.2âmin. Half (40/80) of the lesions were in the duodenal bulb including the superior duodenal angle. Final histological data showed 56 adenomas (70.5%), 13 Brunner gland tumors (16.2%), and 4 pyloric gland tumors (5.0%). The final diagnoses of 5 lesions after ER showed higher-grade dysplasia compared to pre-ER biopsy findings. The en bloc resection rate was 93.8% (75/80), and the complete resection rate with clear margins was 90.0% (72/80). Micro-perforation occurred in 2 of 80 patients and was successfully treated with conservative treatment. There were no cases of delayed bleeding. The mean follow-up period was 27.0âmonths (2-119âmonths) with no cases of recurrence.ER may be an effective treatment for NADLs with favorable long-term outcomes. However, the possibility of perforation complications should always be considered during ER.

Surgical replacement remains the primary option to treat the rapidly growing number of patients with severe valvular heart disease. Although current valve replacements-mechanical, bioprosthetic, and cryopreserved homograft valves-enhance survival and quality of life for many patients, the ideal prosthetic heart valve that is abundantly available, immunocompatible, and capable of growth, self-repair, and life-long performance has yet to be developed. These features are essential for pediatric patients with congenital defects, children and young adult patients with rheumatic fever, and active adult patients with valve disease. Heart valve tissue engineering promises to address these needs by providing living valve replacements that function similarly to their native counterparts. This is best evidenced by the long-term clinical success of decellularised pulmonary and aortic homografts, but the supply of homografts cannot meet the demand for replacement valves. A more abundant and consistent source of replacement valves may come from cellularised valves grown in vitro or acellular off-the-shelf biomaterial/tissue constructs that recellularise in situ, but neither tissue engineering approach has yet achieved long-term success in preclinical testing. Beyond the technical challenges, heart valve tissue engineering faces logistical, economic, and regulatory challenges. In this review, we summarise recent progress in heart valve tissue engineering, highlight important outcomes from preclinical and clinical testing, and discuss challenges and future directions toward clinical translation.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Etrasimod is an oral, selective, sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator. In a phase 2, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in adults with moderately-to-severely active ulcerative colitis [OASIS], etrasimod 2 mg provided significant benefit versus placebo and was generally well tolerated. This open-label extension [OLE] evaluated safety and efficacy of etrasimod for up to 52 weeks. METHODS: In OASIS, 156 patients received etrasimod 1 mg, etrasimod 2 mg, or placebo, once daily for 12 weeks. After completing OASIS, patients could enrol in the OLE and receive etrasimod 2 mg for an additional 34-40 weeks. RESULTS: In all, 118 patients enrolled in the OLE; 112 patients received etrasimod 2 mg at any point and were evaluated for safety and efficacy. A total of 92 [82%] patients who received etrasimod 2 mg in the OLE completed the study. Treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 60% [67/112] of patients receiving etrasimod 2 mg at any time, most commonly worsening ulcerative colitis and anaemia; 94% of adverse events were mild/moderate. At end of treatment, 64% of patients met the criteria for clinical response, 33% for clinical remission, and 43% for endoscopic improvement. Week 12 clinical response, clinical remission, or endoscopic improvement was maintained to end of treatment in 85%, 60%, or 69% of patients, respectively. Steroid-free clinical remission occurred in 22% of overall patients. CONCLUSIONS: In this long-term extension study, etrasimod 2 mg demonstrated a favourable safety profile. Most patients with clinical response, clinical remission, or endoscopic improvement at Week 12 maintained that status to end of treatment.

Whether the clinical outcomes of stent thrombosis (ST) are different when stratified by time of occurrence remains unclear. The objective of this study was to compare the short- and long-term clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for early stent thrombosis (EST) versus late stent thrombosis (LST) and very late stent thrombosis (VLST). We enrolled eligible studies searched from the main electronic databases (EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane). The primary endpoints were in-hospital, 30-day, 1-year and long-term mortality. The secondary endpoints included recurrent stent thrombosis (RST) and target vessel/lesion revascularization (TVR/TLR) during hospitalization, at 30 days, at 1 year and at long-term follow-up. A total of 23 studies with 17,592 patients were included. Compared with mortality rates of the late and very late thrombosis (LST/VLST) group, in-hospital (P = 0.004), 30-day (P < 0.00001), 1-year (P < 0.00001) and long-term mortality rates (P = 0.04) were significantly higher in the EST group. The in-hospital TVR/TLR rates were similar between the EST group and the LST/VLST group. However, a higher trend in TVR/TLR rate at 30 days and a significantly higher TVR/TLR rate at 1 year (P = 0.002) as well as at long-term follow up (P = 0.009) were found in the EST group. EST patients also trended toward higher risk of RST in both short- and long-term follow-up than LST/VLST patients, although differences were not statistically significant. After PCI treatment, patients with EST have worse clinical outcomes in both short- and long-term follow-up than patients with LST/VLST. Further studies are warranted to determine the optimal treatment strategies for EST.

BACKGROUND: An effective and safe oral anticoagulation (OAC) strategy for patients with new postoperative AF (POAF) after noncardiac surgery remains unclear. We aimed to determine the association between OAC use and 1) thromboembolic events and 2) major bleeding in patients with POAF after noncardiac surgery. METHODS: A retrospective cohort (1999-2015) was used to identify patients with new POAF after inpatient noncardiac surgery. Initiation of OAC was defined as prescription of an OAC within 30 days following hospital discharge. Times to first hospital admission or emergency department visit for a thromboembolic or major bleeding event were compared using Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS: We identified 22,007 patients with new POAF after inpatient noncardiac surgery. The majority of patients had intermediate (CHA2DS2-VASc 2-3: 45%) to high (CHA2DS2-VASc ≥ 4: 42%) thromboembolic risk. During a mean follow-up of 4 years, a total of 1099 (5%) thromboembolic and 3250 (15%) bleeding events occurred. Compared with patients not on anticoagulation, anticoagulation did not reduce the risk for thromboembolic events (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 0.89, 95% CI 0.73-1.07). In patients initiated on anticoagulation, there was an association with a higher risk for major bleeding (aHR 1.14, 95% CI 1.04-1.25). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with new POAF after noncardiac surgery, anticoagulation was not associated with a reduction in long-term thromboembolic events; however, this was accompanied by an overall increased risk for major bleeding. Future prospective clinical studies are needed to better address the role for anticoagulation therapy in the setting of POAF after noncardiac surgery to understand the efficacy and safety of treatment.

Matching the patient to the type of heart valve substitute can be challenging because there is no evidence that the type of heart valve implanted affects survival or quality of life. Mechanical valves are more durable than bioprosthetic valves but are more thrombogenic and require lifelong anticoagulation with warfarin. Age is the most important determinant of bioprosthetic heart valves' durability, and they infrequently fail in patients older than 70 years of age and almost invariably fail in patients younger than 50 years of age. Thus, patients younger than 50 years of age should be advised to have a mechanical valve unless there is contraindication to anticoagulation with warfarin. Patients 50 to 70 years of age can have either bioprosthetic or mechanical valves, but if their lifespans are greater than 20 years, they will likely require reintervention. In reality, the proportion of patients receiving bioprosthetic heart valves has increased in patients of all ages during the past 2 decades, and this trend preceded the development of transcatheter valve implantation to treat failed bioprosthetic valves. Transcatheter valve-in-valve replacement is now the preferred treatment for failed bioprosthetic valves in all positions in older patients, but the long-term results of this approach remain unknown. The shift in favour of bioprosthetic valves in young patients may prove harmful, as more long-term data become available.

Background The ISCHEMIA (International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness with Medical and Invasive Approaches) trial failed to show a reduction in hard clinical end points with an early invasive strategy in stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD). However, the influence of left main disease and high-risk coronary anatomy was left unaddressed. In a large angiographic disease-based registry, we examined the modulating effect of revascularization on long-term outcomes in anatomically high-risk SIHD. Methods and Results 9016 patients with SIHD with high-risk coronary anatomy (3 vessel disease with ≥70% stenosis in all 3 epicardial vessels or left main disease ≥50% stenosis [isolated or in combination with other disease]) were selected for study from April 1, 2002 to March 31, 2016. The primary composite of all-cause death or myocardial infarction (MI) was compared between revascularization versus conservative management. A total of 5487 (61.0%) patients received revascularization with either coronary artery bypass graft surgery (n=3312) or percutaneous coronary intervention (n=2175), while 3529 (39.0%) patients were managed conservatively. Selection for coronary revascularization was associated with improved all-cause death/MI as well as longer survival compared with selection for conservative management (Inverse Probability Weighted hazard ratio [IPW-HR] 0.62; 95% CI 0.58 to 0.66; P<0.001; IPW-HR 0.57; 95% CI 0.53-0.61; P<0.001, respectively). Similar risk reduction was noted with percutaneous coronary intervention (IPW-HR 0.64, 95% CI 0.59-0.70, P<0.001) and coronary artery bypass graft surgery (IPW-HR 0.61; 95% CI 0.57-0.66; P<0.001). Conclusions Revascularization in patients with SIHD with high-risk coronary anatomy was associated with improved long-term outcome compared with conservative therapy. As such, coronary anatomical profile should be considered when contemplating treatment for SIHD.

AIMS: Crossover between direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) has been underinvestigated, but happens frequently in clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to evaluate causes, rates and outcomes of a DOAC-to-DOAC switch. METHODS: Patients receiving their first DOAC prescription at the Anticoagulation Center, Cardiology Dept, Bologna-Bellaria Hospital in 2017-2018 were consecutively included and prospectively followed up. DOAC-to-DOAC switch was the main outcome; causes of switch (cardiovascular events and noncardiovascular drug-related adverse events) had direct biannual assessment before and after the switch. RESULTS: Among 300 patients enrolled (mean ageâ=â79.3 years, mean follow-upâ=â1.5 years), with no difference in cardiovascular risk factors depending on index DOAC, 13% underwent DOAC-to-DOAC switch, minor bleeding and noncardiovascular adverse events being the most frequent causes. Dabigatran carried a three-fold increase in risk of switch compared with other DOACs, but the mean age of patients who switched was 83. Factors leading to switch resolved in 87% of cases afterwards. Annual rates of cardiovascular/noncardiovascular V events did not differ before and after the switch. CONCLUSION: DOAC-to-DOAC switch happens in 9% of patients using DOAC each year, and seems not to impact rates of cardiovascular events after switch. Dabigatran, in the elderly, might be associated with a higher risk of DOAC-to-DOAC switch. Further studies are needed to confirm the long-term safety and effectiveness of switching paradigm.

INTRODUCTION: Psychoactive drug use (PDU) is reported in up to 40% of trauma patients and is associated with a higher rate of in-hospital complications. However, little is known about its long-term impact on trauma patients. We aimed to assess the long-term functional, mental, and psychosocial outcomes of PDU in trauma patients 6 to 12 months after injury. METHODS: Trauma patients with moderate to severe injuries (Injury Severity Score, >9) who had a toxicology screen upon admission to one of three level 1 trauma centers were contacted by phone 6 to 12 months postinjury. Psychoactive drug use was defined as the presence of a psychoactive, nonprescribed substance on toxicology screen including amphetamine, barbiturate, benzodiazepine, cannabinoid, methamphetamine, methadone, opioid, oxycodone, methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy), phencyclidine, tricyclic antidepressant, and cocaine. The interviews systematically evaluated functional limitations, social functioning, chronic pain, and mental health (posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety). Patients with a score of ≤47 on the Short-Form Health Survey version 2.0 social functioning subdomain were considered to have social dysfunction. Multivariable regression models were built to determine the independent association between PDU and long-term outcomes. RESULTS: Of the 1,699 eligible patients, 571 (34%) were included in the analysis, and 173 (30.3%) screened positive for PDU on admission. Patients with PDU were younger (median age [interquartile range], 43 [28-55] years vs. 66 [46-78] years, p < 0.001), had more penetrating injuries (8.7% vs. 4.3%, p = 0.036), and were less likely to have received a college education (41.3% vs. 54.5%, p = 0.004). After adjusting for patients' characteristics including the presence of a baseline psychiatric comorbidity, patients with PDU on admission were more likely to suffer from daily chronic pain, mental health disorders, and social dysfunction 6 to 12 months after injury. There was no difference in the functional limitations between patients with and without PDU. CONCLUSION: On the long term, PDU in trauma patients is strongly and independently associated with worse mental health, more chronic pain, and severe impairment in social functioning. A trauma hospitalization presents an opportunity to identify patients at risk and to mitigate the long-term impact of PDU on recovery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Prognostic/epidemiologic, level III.

In this retrospective cohort study, we evaluated the incidence of vascular events from carotid artery atherosclerosis after radiotherapy indication for laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer. From January 2007 to December 2016, we investigated 111 laryngeal/hypopharyngeal cancer patients who underwent curative radiotherapy and were followed up for ≥1 year (median follow-up duration, 60 months). We evaluated the incidence of vascular events from carotid artery atherosclerosis, defined as a transient ischemic attack or an atherothrombotic cerebral infarction, or from undergoing treatment such as carotid artery stenting for carotid artery stenosis. The median radiation dose was 66 Gy (range, 60-74); 48 patients (43.2%) received concurrent chemotherapy. The 5-year overall survival was 86.2%. Six patients required treatment for carotid artery disease. Carotid stenting was performed in three patients with carotid artery stenosis; three patients developed atherosclerotic cerebral infarction and received medical treatment, with a median of 51.7 months (range, 0.3-78.3) after radiotherapy initiation. The vascular event occurrence rate was 5.4% within 5 years and 10.7% within 8 years. In the univariate analysis, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and carotid calcification were significant factors for event occurrence. Because three out of six cases occurred out of the irradiated field, no carotid artery or carotid bulb dosimetric parameters showed significant correlation. As laryngeal/hypopharyngeal cancer patients, particularly with complications including dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus, are at a high risk of carotid artery stenosis after radiotherapy, long-term carotid artery evaluation is necessary. Early intervention by stroke specialists can reduce the risk of fatal cerebral infarction.

Adverse childhood experiences and trauma significantly impact physical and mental health. Increased maternal perinatal depression/anxiety, preterm labor, and low birth weight, as well as infant morbidity and mortality, are some examples of the impact of trauma on perinatal health. Trauma-informed care begins with knowledge about trauma, the ability to recognize signs of a trauma response, responding to patients effectively, and resisting retraumatization. As holistic providers, perinatal nurses can create safe care environments, establish collaborative patient relationships based on trust, demonstrate compassion, offer patients options when possible to support patient autonomy, and provide resources for trauma survivors. This can prevent or reduce the negative impact of trauma and improve the health and well-being of infants, mothers, and future generations. This clinical article outlines key strategies for implementation of patient-centered trauma-informed perinatal nursing care.
