Abstract Background Sepsis is a life-threatening condition associated with significant in-hospital mortality. Sepsis disproportionately affects Black Americans and is a top-10 leading cause of death for Black people. Previous studies examining sepsis mortality rates by race have yielded inconsistent findings. This retrospective study evaluates the relationship between race and in-hospital sepsis-related mortality in adults at University of Minnesota Medical Center. Methods We reviewed all sepsis diagnoses in adults between January 1, 2020 and June 30, 2020 at the University of Minnesota Medical Center. Demographic information including age, sex, race, insurance status, primary language, expected and observed mortality score, discharge status, treatment information, and in-hospital mortality were also recorded. Self-reported race was categorized as African American, White, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, African, Hispanic or Latino, Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, “some other race,” and “two or more races.” Statistical tests including χ 2 test, Student t test, Kaplan-Meier estimator, and binary logistic regression were performed. Results We identified 780 cases of sepsis. Black patients were consistently younger than White patients (median age of 50 years, compared to 61 years, p< 0.001). Black patients were more likely to have comorbidities at baseline. However, logistic regression analyses, after controlling for language, race, primary payer, and expected mortality, showed no association between sepsis outcome and race. Sepsis Cases at UMMC between January and June 2020 by Self-Reported Race *Other includes the categories “Some other race” and “Two or more races.” Hospital Outcomes by Race Patient Demographics by Race Conclusion While there was no significant difference between in-hospital mortality and race, Black patients were more likely to present at a younger age with more medical comorbidities than White patients.

Gooseberries and currants (Ribes L.) are the alternate hosts for the fungus Cronartium ribicola J. C. Fischer, the causal agent of white pine blister rust. In this study, 16 black currant (R. nigrum L.) cultivars, including three accessions of the putatively immune cultivar ‘Consort’ and three cultivars developed at the University of Minnesota Horticultural Research Center, were screened for resistance to C. ribicola using artificial inoculation procedures. Twelve of these cultivars were grown in the field and observed for natural infection. Cultivars ‘Ben Sarek’, ‘Ben Lomond’, and ‘C2-2-1’ were infected naturally in the field at the University of Minnesota Horticultural Research Center in 2000, 2001, and 2004. Cultivars ‘Ben Sarek’, one mislabeled ‘Consort’ accession, R. nigrum ‘WI-1’, and ‘Ben Lomond’ had significantly more uredinial sori than other cultivars when inoculated artificially. To determine if the infected and noninfected ‘Consort’ clones were genetically related, DNA microsatellite genotyping was carried out to fingerprint these clones. One of the six microsatellite loci resulted in a polymorphism that indicated the infected clone was genetically different from the noninfected clones. In addition, the inoculation procedures used in these studies are generally efficacious for predicting resistance in the field because none of the field-infected cultivars were resistant in the greenhouse. This study confirms the Cr gene for resistance to C. ribicola in Ribes has remained effective for over 50 years.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: To increase public awareness and access to research opportunities at the University of Minnesota (UMN) utilizing StudyFinder, a public-facing website that features actively enrolling UMN research studies and directly connects website visitors with study teams. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Promote the University of Minnesota CTSI’s StudyFinder website to the public via social media ad campaigns and community outreach. Upon completion of the latest StudyFinder enhancement project in 2021, CTSI focused 2022 efforts on marketing and promotion of the site. CTSI created three StudyFinder social media ad campaigns in January, June, and October. CTSI also planned outreach events during the week of Clinical Trials Day, the Minnesota State Fair (1.8M attendees over 12 days), and the UMN’s Urban Research and Outreach-Engagement Center Community Day. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Website traffic data from Google Analytics indicated a 72.76% increase in StudyFinder sessions from 2021 (Jan 1, 2021 to Nov 1, 2021) to 2022 (Jan 1, 2022 to Nov 1, 2022), with 16,262 sessions to 28,094 sessions, respectively. Direct emails from potential participants to study teams increased 89% in that same timeframe, from 3,082 emails to 5,819 emails. Targeted marketing campaigns and attending community events can improve the visibility of an institution’s research and connections of potential research participants to research teams. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Recruitment remains a main challenge in clinical and translational research. StudyFinder is an important patient-facing tool to connect individuals to specific studies. Future directions include expanding marketing efforts, events, and public feedback.

"A validation study of a new prognostic index for patients with brain metastases: the Graded Prognostic Assessment".

Object The purpose of this study was to validate a new prognostic index for patients with brain metastases. This index, the Graded Prognostic Assessment (GPA), is based on an analysis of 1960 patients whose data were extracted from the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) database. The GPA is based on 4 criteria: age, Karnofsky Performance Scale score, number of brain metastases, and the presence/absence of extracranial metastases. Each of the 4 criteria is given a score of 0, 0.5, or 1.0, so the patient with best prognosis would have a GPA score of 4.0. Methods Between April 2005 and December 2006, 140 eligible patients with brain metastases were treated at the Gamma Knife Center at the University of Minnesota. The GPA score was calculated for each patient, and the score was then correlated with survival. Survival duration was calculated from the date treatment began for the brain metastases. Eligibility criteria included patients treated with whole-brain radiation therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, or both. Results The median survival time in months observed in the RTOG and Minnesota data by GPA score was as follows: GPA 3.5–4.0, 11.0 and 21.7; GPA 3.0, 8.9 and 17.5; GPA 1.5–2.5, 3.8 and 5.9; and GPA 0–1.0, 2.6 and 3.0, respectively. Conclusions The University of Minnesota data correlate well with the RTOG data and validate the use of the GPA as an effective prognostic index for patients with brain metastases. Clearly, not all patients with brain metastases have the same prognosis, and treatment decisions should be individualized accordingly. The GPA score does appear to be as prognostic as the RPA and is less subjective (because the RPA requires assessment of whether the primary disease is controlled), more quantitative, and easier to use and remember. A multiinstitutional validation study of the GPA is ongoing.

Background Medical education outcomes and clinical data exist in multiple unconnected databases, resulting in 3 problems: (1) it is difficult to connect learner outcomes with patient outcomes, (2) learners cannot be easily tracked over time through the education-training-practice continuum, and (3) no standard methodology ensures quality and privacy of the data. Objective The purpose of this study was to develop a Medical Education Outcomes Center (MEOC) to integrate education data and to build a framework to standardize the intake and processing of requests for using these data. Methods An inventory of over 100 data sources owned or utilized by the medical school was conducted, and nearly 2 dozen of these data sources have been vetted and integrated into the MEOC. In addition, the American Medical Association (AMA) Physician Masterfile data of the University of Minnesota Medical School (UMMS) graduates were linked to the data from the National Provider Identifier (NPI) registry to develop a mechanism to connect alumni practice data to education data. Results Over 160 data requests have been fulfilled, culminating in a range of outcomes analyses, including support of accreditation efforts. The MEOC received data on 13,092 UMMS graduates in the AMA Physician Masterfile and could link 10,443 with NPI numbers and began to explore their practice demographics. The technical and operational work to expand the MEOC continues. Next steps are to link the educational data to the clinical practice data through NPI numbers to assess the effectiveness of our medical education programs by the clinical outcomes of our graduates. Conclusions The MEOC provides a replicable framework to allow other schools to more effectively operate their programs and drive innovation.

In an observational study following the primary treatment of cervical carcinoma, financial data was gathered to address hospital and physician costs. This was done as a feasibility study to assess whether such data could be collected. As a corollary, we observed changes in these cost data relative to the implementation of laparoscopic lymphadenectomy in selected cases undergoing radical hysterectomy. Definition of costs were provided by Information Services Department of the University of Minnesota Hospital and Clinic (author W.H.). Twenty-seven apportionment codes were defined as standard categories to identify costs and were defined by patient accounting and assigned to every significant hospital event. Statistically, significant differences were noted in room and board costs, operating room cost, discharge needs, and miscellaneous services. Mean room and board costs were significantly less in those patients undergoing laparoscopic lymphadenectomy followed by a radical hysterectomy (Group B—defined in text). Miscellaneous service costs were also statistically, significantly different. However, with respect to those patients undergoing standard lymphadenectomy followed by radical hysterectomy (Group A), the operating room costs were statistically, significantly less. Overall adjusted hospital costs, which include professional services, were not different between the two groups. The feasibility of collecting data from the University of Minnesota Health System to access costs relative to a specific operative procedure, in this case radical hysterectomy, was evaluated. Significant requirements of time and labor costs were required, however. Timely, on-going assessment of hospital costs relative to hospital procedures would be a laudable goal for future assessments of resource allocation. The implementation of new technology in selected patients, in this case, laparoscopic lymphadenectomy, does not invariably increase cost in this health care system.

ABSTRACT For decades, prominent members of the accounting community have argued that the quality of accounting education is falling. Support for this claim is limited because of a scarcity of data characterizing the constructs of interest. This study is a comparative evaluation of the quality of accounting education from the 1970s to the 2000s using unique data to quantify education quality for accounting and many comparison disciplines. I find that, compared to most other types of college education, accounting education quality has been steady or increasing over the sample period. However, relative to other business degree programs, the evidence is mixed. The quality of students self-selecting non-accounting business degrees has increased while the quality of accounting students has not. The disparity in student quality is not reflected in the pay received by accounting graduates, which has remained stable relative to the pay received by graduates with other business degrees, although this result is likely influenced by regulatory changes during the 2000s, including Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX). Together, the evidence suggests that the quality of accounting education has not declined rapidly over the last four decades, but in the competition among business degree programs for high-quality students, accounting has underperformed. Data Availability: Data used in this study are available in the Freshman and Senior Surveys of the Cooperative Institutional Research Program's Higher Education Research Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles; the IPUMS-USA database, which is compiled and distributed by the Minnesota Population Center at the University of Minnesota; the National Survey of College Graduates, which is available from the National Science Foundation; and the General Social Survey, which is maintained by the National Opinion Research Center at The University of Chicago.

Adults who were raised in dysfunctional families demonstrate psychopathology on the MMPI. 396 (140 men, 256 women) adult clients (mean age = 35 yr.) from dysfunctional families who were seeking treatment at a university counseling center were administered the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. Analysis showed significantly elevated scores on F, Total Pathology, Depression, Psychopathic Deviance, Psychasthenia, Schizophrenia, and Social Introversion scales by these subjects from families with a history of physical, sexual, emotional abuse, or alcoholism. This study contributes to the growing body of empirical research on the relationship between dysfunctional families of origin and adult psychopathology.

As Kenya’s inbound tourism takes center stage as the country’s biggest income earner, study-abroad programs have emerged as the fastest growing subsector of the industry, making the country one of Africa’s most popular study-abroad destinations. In 1999 alone, a total of 22 credit-awarding academic study-abroad programs were operating in Kenya, an increase from 15 programs in 1998. Out of these 22 programs, 15 were from the United States, four were from Europe, and one was from Japan. In contrast, there were more than 80 noncredit study-abroad programs in 1999, most of which were short two-week study tours or field observation excursions. Of the noncredit study-abroad programs, 62 were from different African countries while 14 were from Europe and 12 were from the United States. This article describes the credit-awarding study-abroad programs and focuses on the University of Minnesota Studies in International Development (MSID) Kenya program.

Abstract This chapter advances a theoretical framework that is emerging from the Minnesota innovation Research Program studies. MIRP started with a set of sensitizing concepts, a few tentative models, and a research strategy that emphasized detailed, longitudinal study of a wide variety of innovations. The methodology was designed to measure and analyze innovation processes with all their real-world complexities in order to correct for the natural tendency to oversimplify and to fit observations to whatever theories a researcher is enamored with. The result is a complicated, somewhat unruly set of empirical observations that describe the multifaceted nature of innovations and that are often We gratefully appreciate the helpful comments of Harold Angle on a previous draft of this chapter.

Abstract A core concept in the Minnesota innovation Research Program (MIRP) is innovation outcomes, defined as the value judgments about success or failure that various people make about the developmental process and end results of an innovation. Kimberly (1981) rightly points out that a positive bias pervades the study and management of innovation. innovation is often viewed as a good thing because the new ideas being developed are expected to be useful-profitable, constructive, or solve a problem. New ideas that are not perceived We are grateful to helpful suggestions on an earlier draft of this chapter from Harold Angle, Scott Poole, as well as our colleagues in the Minnesota innovation Research Program for providing and verifying data on the innovations examined here. Support for this research has been provided in part by a grant to the Strategic Management Research Center at the University of Minnesota from the Program on Organization Effectiveness, office of Naval Research, under contract No. N00014-84-K-0016. as useful are not normally called innovations; they are usually called “mistakes” (Van de Ven 1986). Objectively, of course, the usefulness of an idea can be only partially determined as results become apparent, which is typically after the innovation process is completed and implemented. It is only then when new ideas can be characterized as “innovations” or “mistakes.”
