OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: The objective of the study is to examine the ability of iTBS to improve depression and executive impairment in depressed older adults. If effective, this treatment will have the potential to improve the quality of life in LLD. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: From 12- 2016 to date older adults (60 – 85 y/o) in a major depressive episode, with evidence of executive dysfunction (on the NIH Tool Box battery) were enrolled. iTBS protocol: This brief paradigm (3 min 9 seconds duration) was administered on weekdays for four weeks (20 sessions total). Stimulation intensity was set up to 120% of the observed motor threshold. Depression primary outcome: Change in the Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) from baseline to the end of iTBS course. Executive function primary outcome: Change in executive measures from the electronic NIH Tool Box cognitive domain battery8. Executive secondary outcome: Change in scores from baseline to the end of iTBS on the Frontal Systems Behavior Scale (FrSBe), this self reported instrument measures dys-executive behavior. Statistical Analysis: paired t-test examined changes in depression and executive variables from baseline to post iTBS. Pearson correlation examined the association between degree of mood improvement and degree of improvement in executive function. SPSS v 24 was used for all analyses. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We examined 11 subjects. Primary outcomes: Patients showed a significant decrease in scores on the Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) from baseline Mean (M) = 27.73, Standard Deviation (SD) 8.2 to the end of 4 weeks of iTBS: M = 15.91, SD = 10.05, t = 7.4, p < .001. The Flanker Inhibitory Control and attention test significantly improved from baseline M = 91.0, SD = 7 to the end of iTBS M = 98.7, SD = 12.8, t = −2.9, p = .014 (higher scores at week 4 denote improvement). The List Sorting Working Memory test and the Dimensional Change Card sort a measure of cognitive flexibility improved but did not reach statistical significance. The self reported executive measure improved from baseline M = 48.6, SD = 9.4 to post iTBS M = 39.4, SD = 8.5, t = 3.8, p = .003 (lower scores at week 4 denote improvement). We also examined whether the degree of improvement in depression related to the degree of improvement in executive function. We found positive correlations between change in mood scores with iTBS with change in executive scores with iTBS, with a strong relationship with working memory r = 0.34. Tolerability and Side effects: Common side effects were twitching in facial muscles during the stimulation (n =11), headaches (n =10) and pain or discomfort at the stimulation site and face (n =4). One participant withdrew due to intolerance to the stimulation. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: The iTBS paradigm was effective in improving mood and executive function in older adults. Both the psychometric measure and the self reported executive function measure (indicative of dysexecutive behavior) reflected improvements post iTBS. Improvement in executive function was correlated with depression improvement. We targeted the Dorso Lateral Prefrontal cortex, which exhibits decreased connectivity with the dorsal anterior cingulate in depressed elderly and is a key in orchestration of executive function. Our findings are consistent with the conceptualization of depression as a circuit level disorder affecting interconnected networks involving mood and cognition. Although we demonstrated potential therapeutic effects, the mechanism of action of iTBS remains unknown. We are presently conducting a randomized controlled trial to examine the effects of iTBS on brain connectivity using functional MRI. Results of this study underway will hopefully demonstrate engagement of the TMS target and contribute to a neurocircuitry based approach treatment of geriatric depression.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Transgender, non-binary, and gender expansive (TGE) patients experience significant barriers to high-quality care including limited provider expertise and pathologization within health documentation. This study aimed to evaluate the use of gender-affirming language within free text medical notes of TGE patients. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We conducted a qualitative analysis of free text medical notes in adult (> age 18 years) TGE patients seen in inpatient and outpatient medicine and general surgery clinics between January 2019 and January 2022 at three independent health systems in San Francisco. TGE patients were identified based on self-identified gender identity, sex assignment at birth, and legal sex. We conducted a thematic analysis to assess use of gender-affirming language, including self-identified pronouns, chosen names, gendered and gender-neutral descriptors, sex-related traits, and pathologizing language. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Within pilot data, we found inconsistent use of gender-affirming language within notes, with pronounced variability within the history of present illness, the clinical one liner, and the problem list. Within one liners, many did not include patient-identified pronouns (81%), omitted chosen names (53%), and utilized gendered language that was misaligned with patient self-identified gender identity (27%) - frequently including the use of outdated terms i.e. female-to-male and transsexual. Many problem lists included gender-related care, with some describing hormonal and surgical interventions and others utilizing language to pathologize trangender status. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Our study identifies gaps in the use of gender-affirming language in medical notes. Of particular significance in the era of open notes wherein patients can view their medical records, our study offers a framework for assessing and increasing gender-affirming language use within free text medical notes that can be applied across health systems.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Peer groups are one of the strongest determinants of alcohol use and misuse. Furthermore, social influence plays a significant role in alcohol use across the lifespan. One of the factors that most consistently predicts successful treatment outcomes for alcohol use disorders is one’s ability to change their social network. However, the concept of social influence as defined by suggestibility or susceptibility to social influence has not yet been studied as it relates to drinking behavior and acute subjective response to alcohol. Our objective was to examine the relationship between suggestibility and alcohol consumption and responses, using an intravenous alcohol self-administration (IV-ASA) paradigm in social drinkers. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Healthy, social drinkers (n=20) completed a human laboratory session in which they underwent the IV-ASA paradigm. This consisted of an initial 25-minute priming phase, where participants were prompted to push a button to receive individually standardized IV alcohol infusions, followed by a 125-minute phase during which they could push the button for additional infusions. IV-ASA measures included the peak and average breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) and number of button presses. Subjective responses were assessed using the Drug Effects Questionnaire (DEQ) and Alcohol Urge Questionnaire (AUQ) collected serially during the session. Participants completed the Multidimensional Iowa Suggestibility Scale (MISS) to assess suggestibility. The Alcohol Effects Questionnaire (AEFQ) was used to assess alcohol expectancies and the Timeline Followback questionnaire measured recent drinking history. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: After controlling for drinking history, greater suggestibility significantly predicted greater average BrAC, greater peak BrAC, and a greater number of button presses (p=0.03, p=0.02, p=0.04, respectively) during the early open bar phase. Suggestibility significantly predicted subjective alcohol effects following the priming phase which included “Feel,” “Want,” “High,” and “Intoxicated” and was trending for “Like” (p=0.02, p=0.03, p=0.01, p=0.03, p=0.054, respectively) as well as AUQ (p=0.03). After controlling for drinking history, suggestibility significantly predicted “Feel,” “Like,” “High,” and “Intoxicated” peak scores during the open bar phase (p=0.03, p=0.009, p=0.03, p=0.03, respectively). There was no association between suggestibility and “Want More” alcohol. Suggestibility was positively associated with three positive expectancies (global positive; p=0.04, social expressiveness; p=0.005, relaxation; p=0.03), and one negative expectancy (cognitive and physical impairment; p=0.02). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: These results indicate that social drinkers that were more suggestible had higher alcohol consumption, greater acute subjective response to alcohol, and more positive alcohol expectancies. As such, susceptibility to social influence may be an important determinant of alcohol consumption, and may provide insight into harmful drinking behavior such as binge drinking. Future analyses should examine the impact of suggestibility on alcohol-related phenotypes across the spectrum of drinking from social to binge and heavy drinking patterns.

Successful social media recruitment requires specific expertise and constant upkeep, placing an inordinate burden on study teams. Over half of the study teams at the University of Michigan (U-M) surveyed about recruitment assistance needs indicated that they wanted to use social media as a recruitment strategy, but lacked the expertise to do so. We thus built a service to centralize social media recruitment across the university. This involved assembling the right expertise, creating a centralized social media profile, creating linkages to other digital recruitment platforms, building the financial structure, and operationalizing the service. So far, we have helped 94 study teams launch social media campaigns on Facebook and Instagram. These campaigns resulted in 1,653,675 users being reached, of which 20,546 users actively showed interest in participating in the corresponding studies. We followed 18 studies further, who reported a total of 345 social media participants as being enrolled, resulting in an average cost-per-contact (CPC) of $8.72 and an average cost-per-enrollee (CPE) of $55.21. The combination of communication expertise, streamlined administrative processes, and linkages to a centralized research participation registry has allowed us to help a large number of study teams seamlessly engage broad and diverse populations.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: We will reduce the number of research staff by 50% within 6 months that are non-compliant with completing the Good Clinical Practice (GCP) course without increasing costs as measured by salary and benefits for staff involved in the tracking and assignment process. We will also introduce a GCP policy to define the education requirements for GCP training METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We touted focus groups to stakeholders for input on workflows with graphs, surveys, and meetings in the onset and throughout the project. This input prompted us to develop a staff guide outlining the modification process of removing a staff name from an IRB trial if they are no longer active in the trial. A workflow and root cause analysis were done resulting in the implementation of one gatekeeper for assigning and tracking completions, instead of three staff. Successfully reconciling the non-compliant report, which extracted data from three databases, allowed us to eliminate 174 names from the report, which originally comprised 792 names. IRB modifications were entered into the IRB system for these 174 names. We also put into effect a GCP policy for the institution, where none had previously existed. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: * In 3.5 months, we decreased the GCP non-compliance rate by 50% from 792 to 399. * We removed 22% of names from the 792 from the report due to their status of being non-employees, or Emeritus, or not in research anymore. * We discovered a data type issue in the non-compliance report that shuffled the MAX calculation, therefore not requiring some staff to complete the training. * We developed a new process for assigning training, resulting in faster compliance rates for the institution. It included sending emails to users two months before their training expired before we assigned the course to them. * We reconciled the non-compliance report, and it decreased the effort with staff involved in GCP for grant renewals and audits in numerous other departments. * Developed an escalation procedure for non-compliant staff. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Failure to address our GCP non-compliance rates could have put our institution at risk for potential penalties. With 4400+ research personnel listed on active trials the interventions we implemented accelerated our compliance rate by assigning the refresher course monthly and this also resulted in no disruption to staff completing the training.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Screening the general population for prostate cancer with prostate specific antigen (PSA) continues to be controversial. Patients with advanced heart failure undergoing evaluation for suitability for cardiac transplantation are often requested to undergo prostate cancer screening, with guiding evidence generated from the general population. The objective of this study is to determine the clinical implications of a positive prostate cancer screen result in this patient population. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: A retrospective cohort study was performed on all men that were referred to a tertiary care cardiac transplant center between January 2000 and December 2015. Patients were classified as having either a “positive screen” (PSA≥4 ng/mL) or a “negative screen” (PSA<4 ng/mL) at the point of evaluation. The primary outcome of time to listing for cardiac transplant (days) was calculated from the date of referral to the date of listing. A multivariable Cox proportional hazards model was developed to assess the association between a positive prostate cancer test result and listing for cardiac transplantation. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Among the 704 patients included in this study, 66 men (9.4%) had a positive prostate cancer screen result. Men with a positive prostate cancer screen were approximately 4 year older (mean 58.5 vs. 54.1 years), more likely to have a diagnosis of Ischemic Cardiomyopathy (74% vs. 53%) and require continuous mechanical support (61% vs. 16%) at the point of transplant evaluation. The median time for listing for cardiac transplant was greater in patients with a positive PSA (119 vs. 48 days, p<0.05). After adjusting for age, renal function, clinical status at evaluation, history of COPD, and year of referral, patients with a positive prostate cancer screen had a reduced hazards ratio (HR) for progressing to cardiac transplant listing compared with those with a negative screen (HR 0.58, 95%CI: 0.38–0.91). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Screening patients undergoing cardiac transplant evaluation for prostate cancer with PSA has a low diagnostic yield. An individual’s PSA value is influenced by their age and clinical status at the time of screening, with a positive screen being associated with a reduced likelihood for progressing to listing for cardiac transplant.

ABSTRACT IMPACT: The described framework will enable other sites with a well-defined apparatus for enabling the secondary analysis of EHR data for research through education, team science, and resource consolidation. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: EHR’s potential to improve healthcare outcomes extends far beyond the clinic. This vast repository of clinical insights has dramatic potential for biomedical research. To enhance accessibility for busy clinicians and underserved populations, we describe a framework for interfacing with EHR locally and through national network participation. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The Institutional Development Award (IDeA) program, which began in 1993, broadens NIH funding’s geographic distribution for biomedical research. Included in this is the IDeA Networks for Clinical and Translational Research, which focuses on enhancing clinical and translational science across a network of IDeA-states with traditionally underserved communities and rural providers. A prior survey of the needs and capabilities of IDeA-CTR centers identified the need for improved research support. Based on our annual member survey we developed a process for supporting distributed research projects across the GP-CTR. NIH also recently made a funding announcement for the IDeA-CTR community identifying EHR research as a major priority in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Results from site interviews and member surveys show a clear need for dedicated resources to navigate the process of EHR-derived research. Most described a different set of requirements for increasing accessibility to EHR for research and a strong desire to participate in research networks. Local investigators cited a lack of tools, educational materials, and accessibility. Initial efforts demonstrate strong research questions but limited technical, statistical, and terminological capabilities to succeed. In response, a pipeline for team science and promotion of projects from local phenotypes to national studies. We created a facilitator training program to expand the number of facilitators (n=22), quarterly training for investigators (n=104), and ongoing efforts to advance COVID-19 research. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: As evidenced in the expanding number of EHR-based research networks there is a need for a system to promote project development and best practices. The proposed model promotes education, resource sharing, and team formation to advance clinical questions from the idea stage toward national research network participation.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: The objective of the study is to test the effect of oral inorganic nitrate on the primary outcomes of exercise capacity and quality of life in patients who have undergone TAVR for severe aortic stenosis. We will also test the effect of the study drug on various physiology endpoints, including systemic vasodilator response to exercise, LV diastolic function and myocardial strain, late systolic LV load and pulsatile arterial wave reflections. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This is a randomized double-blind crossover clinical trial, in which 24 subjects who underwent TAVR for severe AS 3 or more months before enrollment will receive the following 2 interventions, in randomized order: (1) Potassium nitrate (KNO3), at a dose of 12–18 mmol/day by mouth for ~4 weeks, or (2) Potassium chloride (KCl), at a dose of 12–18 mmol/day by mouth for ~4 weeks. A 1-week washout period will be introduced between the 2 interventions. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We hypothesize that sustained oral administration of potassium nitrate will lead to improvement of exercise capacity and quality of life in this population.DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: His study will have a significant impact on assessment and management of patients after TAVR. We will gain a better understanding of physiologic abnormalities leading to exercise intolerance after TAVR. In addition, there are currently no proven therapies that improve exercise capacity in this population.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Despite the importance of stakeholder engagement in research, there remains a critical need for methods that facilitate the engagement of diverse stakeholders throughout the research process. We describe dissemination and capacity building for the SEED Method, which was created to involve stakeholders in the research development process. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: In order to raise greater awareness of the SEED Method and to build capacity among research teams, we received funding from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) for a 2-year project to implement a plan of outreach, training, interactive learning, and technical assistance, as well as an innovative partnership with the Extension Foundation. Tools created for this project include an internet site providing tools and materials, live and on-demand webinars, training videos, SEED materials, a blog, and an interactive course/toolkit. In addition, we created a monthly learning collaborative and provided direct technical assistance to teams using the SEED Method in their research engagement projects. We evaluated user satisfaction with the tools and support provided through online surveys. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We highlight the routes to reaching potential users and diverse approaches to capacity building, including multi-media training materials, interactive learning sessions, and customized technical assistance. As a result of outreach and capacity building, there are currently 13 research teams using the SEED Method to engage stakeholders in research development across various topics. We link this result to the dissemination and capacity building strategies utilized and the paths through which teams learned about the SEED Method. We also look at how the teams are using the method in terms of project goals and approaches to adapting the SEED Toolkit. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: The use of PHR continues to increase, and with it the emergence of new approaches to involve patients, stakeholders, and communities. Innovations in engagement need to reach potential users and build capacity among researchers and communities.

Objectives/Goals: Micro-credentialing programs provide a rapid solution to the growing shortage of clinical research professionals (CRPs) by expanding the applicant pool and improving training efficiency. This study evaluates the impact of a micro-credential course on CRP education and its potential to reduce staffing shortages. Methods/Study Population: To address the CRP staffing shortage, new and existing clinical research staff at the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey (CINJ) participated in a micro-credential badging course developed by NJ ACTS and Rutgers’ Master’s in Clinical Research Management Program. The course focused on key clinical research topics designed to equip participants with foundational knowledge. Post-completion, surveys were administered to both participants and CINJ management to assess the program’s effectiveness. The survey measured perceived knowledge gains, interest in further opportunities, and the program’s potential to alleviate staffing shortages. Survey results were analyzed to determine the program’s overall impact on CRP education and staffing challenges. Results/Anticipated Results: Survey results demonstrated significant knowledge gains among participants, with 85% reporting increased confidence in clinical research topics after completing the micro-credential course. Additionally, 70% of participants expressed interest in pursuing further opportunities in the field. CINJ management reported smoother onboarding processes and noted an improvement in job readiness among new hires. The CRC Badge has since been integrated into CINJ’s formal onboarding process. Overall, the micro-credential program contributed to expanding the CRP applicant pool, improving training efficiency, and offering a short-term solution to alleviate staffing shortages. Discussion/Significance of Impact: This research demonstrates the effectiveness of micro-credentialing in addressing the critical shortage of CRPs. By rapidly equipping staff with essential knowledge, the program broadens the applicant pool, enhances onboarding, and offers an immediate solution to workforce gaps.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: To date, no reviews have been published combining the topics of pre-operative mental illness and postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF). For adult cardiac surgical procedures, therefore, this scoping review provides an overview of the published evidence for this novel topic. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: A combination of MESH terms and text words were used to capture all papers analyzing any risk factors for atrial fibrillation development after any cardiovascular surgery, and thus, 4,203 search results were initially identified. Papers were manually screened for relevance, resulting in 69 articles that analyzed risk factors associated with POAF. As a separate analytical step, all included publications were used to identify additional citations and Web of Science PubMed identification number-based (i.e., PMID) specific backwards citation searches were performed to ensure comprehensive coverage. For each of the three articles analyzed, moreover, these PMIDs were further evaluated using individual google scholar searches to assure no other relevant literature was inadvertently found. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: For the 69 relevant articles found with multivariable risk models predicting new onset POAF during this scoping review, a wide variety of patient risk factors were reported. The statistically significant predictors reported for new POAF included age (57 papers), hypertension (22 papers), tobacco use (15 papers), LVEF-related characteristics (14 papers), COPD (13 papers), and patient gender (13 papers). All other factors were found to be significant 10 times or fewer; importantly, no multivariable models evaluated mental illness-related factors as predictors of new onset POAF. Only 3 articles even considered the potential influence of mental illnesses. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Mentally ill patients have been documented to have increased incidence of cardiovascular disease and adverse cardiac outcomes, however, very few articles evaluated mental illness associations with POAF. This comprehensive review has demonstrated the urgent need for new research focused on mental illness impacts.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The Dixon up-and-down method (U/D), original developed for testing explosives, is especially common in anesthesia research studies. The objective of this research is to compare the performance of the U/D method for obtaining and analyzing sensitivity data with that of the Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) method. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: A simulation study will compare the performance of the U/D method with the BOIN design. The two study designs offer alternative decision-making algorithms with respect to the dose at which the next experimental unit is treated. These alternative decisions may impact the precision of point estimates of the mean and standard deviation of the effective dose to elicit a response. Transition probability matrices are developed, and maximum likelihood estimates of the unknown parameters assessed for accuracy. For simulation, the effective dose is assumed to be randomly distributed with a known mean and standard deviation. Fixed dose levels are defined, and decisions for what level the next experimental unit should be treated at are defined by the Dixon up-and-down method and the BOIN design. For the U/D method, the stimulus is increased by one level in the absence of a response or decreased if a response occurs from an initial stimulus. A target toxicity probability of 0.50 is used to define the dose escalation or de-escalation rules for the application of the BOIN design. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: A feature of both methods is that the consecutive observations are concentrated about the mean value of the effective dose. However, the BOIN design tends to be more concentrated between these two dose levels. In the presence of severe adverse events, the BOIN design can choose to eliminate doses that are too toxic whereas the U/D design cannot eliminate any dose levels. Transition probability matrices are defined and parameters for the distribution of the effective dose are estimated using maximum likelihood estimation. Mean squared errors for the estimated mean and standard deviations compare the two study designs. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: The BOIN design offers an alternative method for decision-making compared with the U/D method. The BOIN design tends to concentrate dose levels about the mean more than the U/D. This may provide better estimates of the mean and standard deviation of the effective dose for eliciting a response in some circumstances.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Synthetic cannabinoids (SC) are widely available and are associated with acute psychosis. Our recent study indicated that SC using psychiatric inpatients admitted in 2014 had more psychotic symptoms, aggression, and agitation compared with cannabis [marijuana (MJ)] using patients. The current study will review more charts and will characterize the demographics and presentations of current SC Versus MJ using patients. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: A chart review was conducted of patients admitted to a New York City inpatient dual diagnosis psychiatric unit from 2014 to 2016. Inclusion criteria were self-reported current SC use or MJ use, or urine toxicology (+) for MJ. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: In total, 585 charts met inclusion criteria, 168 reported current SC use (40 f, 128 m SC users; 122 f, 295 m MJ users). SC using patients were younger (p=0.050), more likely to be Black (p=0.003), and homeless or living in a shelter (p=0.001). SC users were also more likely to be agitated (OR: 2.26) and aggressive (OR: 2.04) and have psychotic symptoms (OR: 3.03) compared with MJ users. SC users received more PRN medication (p<0.001) and had longer lengths of stay (p=0.001). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Results demonstrate that current SC users had a different demographic profile compared with current MJ users. Our results also support our previous findings: SC using patients were more likely to be agitated and aggressive and were more likely to demonstrate positive psychotic symptoms.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: We have created the first-ever database for all patients who have acute peripheral nerve injuries. Our goal is to use this data to construct two clinical scoring systems to facilitate triaging by emergency room physicians by 1.) identifying patients who would likely benefit from a nerve surgery, and 2.) identify patients who are less likely to follow up. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Based on 2,606 consult emails from the Washington University in St. Louiss Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, from 2013 to 2019, we have identified more than 600 patient cases in which patients presented after an injury with any kind of nerve deficit. We have defined nerve deficits as any abnormality on motor or sensory exam of the extremities, excluding those younger than 18 years old and those with other disease processes that may affect function of the peripheral nervous system. Data for these patients was collected from electronic medical records and include handedness, nerve injured, operative details, area deprivation index decile, mechanism of injury, insurance and employment status, and whether injuries were a result of work or violence. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Our plan is to provide the first descriptive statistics for such a population, as well as multiple regression analysis for our two endpoints, loss to follow up and need for surgery. Following regression analysis, we also look to perform cluster analysis to further study co-occurring clinical and social features that affect our endpoints. We are excitedly awaiting to perform the analysis after the final data has been collected. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Nerve injury is a common symptom of penetrating injuries. Many of the socioeconomic factors associated with increased risk for violent injury are also risk factors for decreased rates of follow up. This problem is particularly worrisome given that nerve repair surgery is only viable as an option to return function within the first year after injury.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Inflammation following traumatic injury to the spinal cord persists long after the primary insult and is known to increase complication rates and prolong recovery time. We investigated the effects of Erythropoietin (EPO) in combination with Glucocorticoids on the levels of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), an overall measure of inflammation. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Electronic medical records from approximately 38 million patients in 27 Healthcare Organizations were analyzed using the TriNetX Analytics platform. Patients with spinal cord injuries (SCI) were defined with the ICD-10 code, G95 and two unique cohorts were defined for patients treated with injectable EPO in combination with injectable Glucocorticoids within 6 months of SCI or only injectable Glucocorticoids with no injectable EPO. ESR rates were queried from patient cohorts to evaluate the potential effects of the two treatment pathways on the ESR. Most recent lab results within 6 months before initiating treatment and 1-year post-treatment were defined as “before” and “after” treatment, respectively. Changes in ESR lab results were evaluated using unpaired t-test with Welch’s Correction. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: A total of 14,370 patients satisfied the inclusion criteria. 89 patients were treated with injectable EPO in combination with Glucocorticoids within 6 months of SCI. The ESR lab results were available for 33 patients before treatment with a mean of 63±33 mm/h. The ESR lab results were available for 22 patients after treatment with a mean of 51.7±34.1 mm/h. 14,281 patients were treated with Glucocorticoids (no injectable EPO) within 6 months of SCI. The ESR lab results were available for 2,042 patients before treatment with a mean of 29.2±30.5 mm/h. The ESR lab results were available for 2,184 patients after treatment with a mean of 32.6±30 mm/h. Patients treated with combinational therapy showed a reduction in ESR of 11.3 mm/h, while those treated with only Glucocorticoids showed an increase in ESR of 3.4 mm/h. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: The present results demonstrated that combinational therapy with injectable, EPO and glucocorticoids exhibited a significant reduction in ESR level. The study suggests that EPO and glucocorticoid might have a synergistic effect on reducing the inflammation following SCI. This approach might help reduce the therapeutic dose of glucocorticoids.
