Multicenter Study
Incidence and predictors of myocardial and kidney injury following endovascular aortic repair: a retrospective cohort study.
We performed a retrospective cohort study in patients who underwent endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) to determine the incidence and predictors of myocardial injury and acute kidney injury (AKI). ⋯ Myocardial injury and AKI are frequent during hospital stay after EVAR and warrant further investigation in prospective studies.

Canadian residency programs are transitioning from time-based to competency-based medical education (CBME). The anesthesia department at Dalhousie University enrolled its first CBME cohort in 2016, one year prior to national anesthesia rollout. Early implementation allowed a unique opportunity to examine faculty anesthesiologists' experiences with the transition. ⋯ Targeted interventions for faculty uptake should emphasize the trialability and observable results achieved over time. These efforts may have the greatest impact in the early/late majority group.
