Analysis of hospital length of stay and cost savings with an in-house heparin-induced thrombocytopenia antibody assay at a midsized institution
CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated a reduction in LOS following the introduction of an in-house HIT antibody assay that cannot be attributed to either systemwide initiatives or reduced patient acuity and was driven largely by patients with negative assays. This reduction was associated with significant estimated cost savings.PMID:38071967 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqad152 (Source: American Journal of Clinical Pathology)

Digital and manual interfollicular Ki-67 are associated with a progression-free survival in patients with low-grade follicular lymphoma
CONCLUSIONS: Higher interfollicular Ki-67 by either digital or manual analysis is associated with a poorer PFS in patients with low-grade FL. These results suggest further validation of this marker is warranted to improve pathologic risk stratification at FL diagnosis. PD-L1 and LAG-3 were not associated with PFS or OS.PMID:38044670 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqad161 (Source: American Journal of Clinical Pathology)

Evaluation of ChatGPT pathology knowledge using board-style questions
CONCLUSIONS: ChatGPT has the potential to be a valuable resource in pathology education if trained on a larger, specialized medical data set. Those relying on it (in its current form) solely for the purpose of pathology training should be cautious.PMID:38041797 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqad158 (Source: American Journal of Clinical Pathology)
