      Three articles this month address how we order clinical tests, one on the question of treating the patient with asymptomatic bacteriuria, the others on the advantages and disadvantages of standing orders for “daily labs” for inpatients.

      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine December 2022, 89 (12) 695-698; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.89a.21121

      When patients present with symptoms that suggest but are not clearly diagnostic of urinary tract infection, urine studies should be obtained.

    1. Ignore e-cigarettes at your patient’s peril
      Vania Modesto-Lowe, MD, MPH, Lakshit Jain, MD and Roberto León-Barriera, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine December 2022, 89 (12) 679-682; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.89a.22006

      As patients are already using these products, rather than dismiss the use of e-cigarettes, clinicians should provide accurate information to help patients make the best choices for their health.

      Step-by-step evaluation of a patient with stage IV prostate cancer and embolic stroke, but no history of heart valve disease, arrhythmia, or coagulopathy.

    1. Should ‘daily labs’ be a quality priority in hospital medicine?
      Caleb J. Murphy, MD, MBA and Andrew W. Schram, MD, MBA
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine December 2022, 89 (12) 685-688; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.89a.22036

      Evidence shows that unnecessary daily testing is only a minor contributor to anemia and healthcare costs for most inpatients. The effect on patient experience has not been definitively established.
