Abstract
BACKGROUND With the increasing age of lung transplant candidates, we studied waitlist and posttransplantation outcomes of candidates ≥70 years during the Lung Allocation Score era. METHODS Adult lung transplant candidates from 2005 to 2020 in the United Network for Organ Sharing database were included and stratified on the basis of age at listing into 18 to 59 years old, 60 to 69 years old, and ≥70 years old. Baseline characteristics, waitlist outcomes, and posttransplantation outcomes were assessed. RESULTS A total of 37,623 candidates were included (52.3% aged 18-59 years, 40.6% aged 60-69 years, 7.1% aged ≥70 years). Candidates ≥70 years were more likely than younger candidates to receive a transplant (81.9% vs 72.7% [aged 60-69 years] vs 61.6% [aged 18-59 years]) and less likely to die or to deteriorate on the waitlist within 1 year (9.1% vs 10.1% [aged 60-69 years] vs 12.2% [aged 18-59 years]; P < .001). Donors for older recipients were more likely to be extended criteria (75.7% vs 70.1% [aged 60-69 years] vs 65.7% [aged 18-59 years]; P < .001). Recipients ≥70 years were found to have lower rates of acute rejection (6.7% vs 7.4% [aged 60-69 years] vs 9.2% [aged 18-59 years]; P < .001) and prolonged intubation (21.7% vs 27.4% [aged 60-69 years] vs 34.5% [aged 18-59 years]; P < .001). Recipients aged ≥70 years had increased 1-year (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.19 [95% CI, 1.06-1.33]; P < .001), 3-year (aHR, 1.28 [95% CI, 1.18-1.39]; P < .001), and 5-year mortality (aHR, 1.29 [95% CI, 1.21-1.38]; P < .001) compared with recipients aged 60 to 69 years. CONCLUSIONS Candidates ≥70 years had favorable waitlist and perioperative outcomes despite increased use of extended criteria donors. Careful selection of candidates and postoperative surveillance may improve posttransplantation survival in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tissue expansion is a powerful tool for reconstruction of pediatric soft-tissue pathologies, but complication rates for children have been reported as high as 40%. Infection and implant extrusion lead to premature removal and delays in reconstruction. Expanding the head and neck is uniquely challenging because the confluence of facial aesthetic units must be respected. These challenges have prompted the senior author's creation of an aesthetic-unit based algorithm. METHODS A retrospective study of pediatric patients who underwent cervicofacial tissue expander placement by the senior author (R.J.R) was performed over a 17-year period. Predictor variables included age, sex, race, indication, number of expanders placed at each operation, serial expansion, expander type, expander size, home versus clinic inflation, and prophylactic antibiotics. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify risk factors for complications. RESULTS An aesthetic-unit based reconstructive algorithm is proposed. Forty-eight pediatric patients had 111 cervicofacial tissue expanders placed. Twenty expanders were associated with complications (18%) for surgical site-infection (12.6%), extrusion (4.5%), and expander deflation (6.3%). Expanders placed for congenital nevi (p=0.042) and use of textured expander (p=0.027) were significantly associated with decreased complications. When controlling for covariates, serial expansion of the same site was associated with increased rates of readmission (p=0.027) after having just one prior expander. Iatrogenic ectropion occurred in 13.5% of the study population; expanders with at least one complication during tissue expansion were significantly associated with incidence of iatrogenic ectropion (p=0.026). CONCLUSION By using an aesthetic-unit based algorithm, reconstructive outcomes can be optimized for pediatric cervicofacial tissue expansion.

Abstract
Exercise training can stimulate the formation of fatty-acid-oxidizing slow-twitch skeletal muscle fibers, which are inversely correlated with obesity, but the molecular mechanism underlying this transformation requires further elucidation. Here, we report that the downregulation of the mitochondrial disulfide relay carrier CHCHD4 by exercise training decreases the import of TP53-regulated inhibitor of apoptosis 1 (TRIAP1) into mitochondria, which can reduce cardiolipin levels and promote VDAC oligomerization in skeletal muscle. VDAC oligomerization, known to facilitate mtDNA release, can activate cGAS-STING/NFKB innate immune signaling and downregulate MyoD in skeletal muscle, thereby promoting the formation of oxidative slow-twitch fibers. In mice, CHCHD4 haploinsufficiency is sufficient to activate this pathway, leading to increased oxidative muscle fibers and decreased fat accumulation with aging. The identification of a specific mediator regulating muscle fiber transformation provides an opportunity to understand further the molecular underpinnings of complex metabolic conditions such as obesity and could have therapeutic implications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with nonsyndromic craniosynostosis (NSC) generally undergo corrective surgery before 1 year of age to the mitigate morbidities and risks of delayed repair. The cohort of patients who receive primary corrective surgery after 1 year and factors associated with their gaps to care is poorly characterized in literature. METHODS A nested case-control study was conducted for NSC patients who underwent primary corrective surgery at our institution and affiliates between 1992 and 2022. Patients whose surgery occurred after 1 year of age were identified and matched 1:1 by surgical date to standard-care control subjects. Chart review was conducted to gather patient data regarding care timeline and sociodemographic characteristics. RESULTS Odds of surgery after 1 year of age were increased in Black patients (odds ratio, 3.94; P < 0.001) and those insured by Medicaid (2.57, P = 0.018), with single caregivers (4.96, P = 0.002), and from lower-income areas (+1% per $1000 income decrease, P = 0.001). Delays associated with socioeconomic status primarily impacted timely access to a craniofacial provider, whereas caregiver status was associated with subspecialty level delays. These disparities were exacerbated in patients with sagittal and metopic synostosis, respectively. Patients with multisuture synostosis were susceptible to significant delays related to familial strain (foster status, insurer, and English proficiency). CONCLUSIONS Patients from socioeconomically strained households face systemic barriers to accessing optimal NSC care; disparities may be exacerbated by the diagnostic/treatment complexities of specific types of craniosynostosis. Interventions at primary care and craniofacial specialist levels can decrease health care gaps and optimize outcomes for vulnerable patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Major shifts in health care systems worldwide have occurred because of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). With nearly half of all Americans now having a history of COVID-19 infection, there is a pressing need to better understand the importance of prior COVID-19 infection as a potential surgical risk factor. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of a history of prior COVID-19 infection on patient outcomes after autologous breast reconstruction. METHODS We performed a retrospective study using the TriNetX research database, which contains deidentified patient records from 58 participating international health care organizations. All patients who underwent autologous breast reconstruction between March 1, 2020, and April 9, 2022, were included and were grouped based on history of a prior COVID-19 infection. Demographic, preoperative risk factors, and 90-day postoperative complication data were compared. Data were analyzed by propensity score-matched analysis on TriNetX. Statistical analyses were performed by Fisher exact, χ2, and Mann-Whitney U tests as appropriate. Significance was set at P values of <0.05. RESULTS Patients with a history of autologous breast reconstruction within our temporal study window (N = 3215) were divided into groups with (n = 281) and without (n = 3603) a prior COVID-19 diagnosis. Nonmatched patients with prior COVID-19 had increased rates of select 90-day postoperative complications, including wound dehiscence, contour deformities, thrombotic events, any surgical site complications, and any complications overall. Use of anticoagulant, antimicrobial, and opioid medications was also found to be higher in those with prior COVID-19.After performing propensity-score matching, each cohort consisted of 281 patients without statistically significant differences between any baseline characteristics. When comparing outcomes between matched cohorts, patients with a history of COVID-19 had increased rates of wound dehiscence (odds ratio [OR], 1.90; P = 0.030), thrombotic events (OR, 2.83; P = 0.0031), and any complications (OR, 1.52; P = 0.037). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that prior COVID-19 infection is a significant risk factor for adverse outcomes after autologous breast reconstruction. Patients with a history of COVID-19 have 183% higher odds of postoperative thromboembolic events, warranting careful patient selection and postoperative management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Age is a poor predictor of postoperative outcomes in breast reconstruction necessitating new methods for risk-stratifying patients preoperatively. The 5-item modified frailty index (mFI-5) is a validated measure of frailty which assesses patients' global health. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of mFI-5 and age as independent predictors of 30-day postoperative complications following autologous breast reconstruction. METHODS Patients who underwent autologous breast reconstruction between 2005 and 2019 were identified from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program. Patients were stratified based on presence of major, minor, both minor and major, and no complications. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were performed to determine the predictive power of mFI-5, age, and other preoperative risk factors for development of minor and major 30-day postoperative complications in all patients and stratified by flap type. RESULTS A total of 25,215 patients were included: 20,366 (80.8%) had no complications, 2,009 (8.0%) had minor complications, 1,531 (6.1%) had major complications, and 1,309 (5.2%) had both minor and major complications. Multivariate regression demonstrated age was not a predictor of minor (odds ratio [OR]: 1.0, p = 0.045), major (OR: 1.0, p = 0.367), or both minor and major (OR: 1.0, p = 0.908) postoperative complications. mFI-5 was a significant predictor of minor complications for mFI-5 scores 1 (OR: 1.3, p < 0.001), 2 (OR: 1.8, p < 0.001), and 3 (OR: 2.8, p = 0.043). For major complications, mFI-5 was a significant predictor for scores 1 (OR: 1.2, p = 0.011) and 2 (OR: 1.3, p = 0.03). CONCLUSION Compared with age, mFI-5 scores were better predictors of 30-day postoperative complications following autologous breast reconstruction regardless of flap type. Additionally, higher mFI-5 scores were associated with increased odds of minor and major complications. Our findings indicate that reconstructive breast surgeons should consider using the mFI-5 in lieu of age to risk-stratify patients prior to autologous breast reconstruction surgery.

Abstract
Introduction This is a systematic review which seeks to establish if immediate/ultra-early excision (immediate: < 24 hours, ultra-early: 24 - 72 hours) and grafting is better or equivalent to early excision and grafting (early: 72 hours - 6 days) in adults with major burns. The concept of early excision and grafting, as opposed to late excision (late: >7 days), was introduced by Cope et al. and later popularized by Janzekovic in the 1970s when she introduced the concept of tangential excision. Delaying excision 24 to 48 hours has previously been thought to allow resuscitation and correction of physiologic derangements to optimize outcomes. However, timing for excision and grafting is subject to debate. The outcomes of interest include mortality, length of stay, complication rates, wound healing time, infection rates, physiologic demand, blood loss, and resting energy expenditure. Methods In this systematic review, we searched PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Scopus for studies that compared outcomes and complications between burn patients with ultra-early and early excisions. From this search, we screened 4235 articles. Through our selection criteria, five articles focusing on timing of burn excision were selected for systematic review. Results Five studies observing a total of 382 burn patients, published between 1995 and 2016, were included. All five studies are cohort studies, three were prospective studies while two were retrospective chart reviews. Two studies showed decreased length of stay with immediate/ultra-early excision (Still, Keshavarzi) and decreased time to healing with immediate/ultra-early excision (Guo, Lu). One study demonstrated decreased infection and mortality in ultra-early excision (Keshavarzi). One study demonstrated decreased resting energy expenditure in the ultra-early excision group (Gao). One study showed a decrease in blood transfusion in the immediate/ultra-early excision group (Guo). Both the Guo and Gao studies suggest that concerns over excision during the burn shock period may be unfounded provided that the patient is adequately resuscitated. Conclusions Studies investigating the immediate/ultra-early excision of burns tend to show improved outcomes for adults with major burns. It is difficult to attain conclusive data due to the lack in overlap of reported outcomes in modern studies. More studies are needed which compare outcomes in adults with major burns between immediate/ultra-early excision and early excision.
