Background: Since its Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval, robot‐assisted laparoscopic surgery has grown with expanding indications. One factor used to expand indications is device‐related complications. We designed a study evaluate robotic complications reported FDA. Methods: searched the FDA complication database, LexisNexis, PACER (Public Access Court Electronic Records) identify surgery‐related over 12‐year period (January 1, 2000 August 2012). Cases from LexisNexis were...

Abstract Understanding the disease trajectories of specific diseases can provide important clinical insights. In this paper, we aimed to discover signature 3 rare cancer types: pancreatic cancer, soft tissue sarcoma (STS) trunk and extremity (STS-TE), STS abdomen retroperitoneum (STS-AR), leveraging IQVIA Oncology Electronic Medical Record. We identified significant diagnosis pairs in patients with these cancers through matched cohort sampling, statistical computation, right-tailed binomial...
