Determine whether differences exist in rates of follow-up recommendations made for pulmonary nodules after accounting for multiple patient and radiologist factors. ⋯ Significant differences exist in the probability of making a follow-up recommendation for pulmonary nodules among radiologists within the same subspecialty division.

Diagnostic imaging often is a critical contributor to clinical decision making in the emergency department (ED). Racial and ethnic disparities are widely reported in many aspects of health care, and several recent studies have reported a link between patient race/ethnicity and receipt of imaging in the ED. ⋯ Despite heterogeneity among studies, patient race/ethnicity is linked with receipt of diagnostic imaging in the ED. The strength and directionality of this association may differ by specific subpopulation and disease process, and more efforts to understand potential underlying factors are needed.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the subcomponents of burnout and year of training among radiology residents. ⋯ This analysis shows variation in burnout subcomponents during training, with the highest recorded EE and DP means and lowest recorded PA means among R3 residents. Although these findings demonstrate evidence of burnout among radiology residents, mean subcomponent scores for EE (21.3) and DP (8.4) were lower and for PA (35.1) was higher for all trainees than in previous studies assessing radiology residents, which correlates with less burnout. DP was the only subcomponent that remained statistically elevated between matriculating R1 and graduating R4 residents.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of various predictors on burnout among radiology residents during their training. ⋯ There are several predictors of burnout that transiently impact residents at different years of training and primarily impact EE or PA, but not DP scores. R3 residents' scores are most sensitive to these covariates.

The aims of this study were to determine resilience levels of radiology residents at the start of radiology residency, investigate changes in resilience and burnout during residency, and assess the relationship between resilience and burnout among radiology residents. ⋯ The results of this study demonstrate that gender differences in resilience and burnout occur during radiology residency and that resilience has a protective effect against experiencing symptoms of burnout. Radiology residency programs should consider building longitudinal resilience for all trainees, especially women.
