To compare incremental costs associated with complications of elective colectomy using nationally representative data among patients undergoing laparoscopic/open resections for the 4 most frequent diagnoses.Rising healthcare have led to increasing focus on need achieve a better understanding association between and quality. Among colectomies, surgical quality-improvement initiatives, interpretable evidence support existing approaches is lacking.The 2009 2011 Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS)...
Despite growing evidence to support use of preoperative mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) plus oral antibiotic (OABP) compared with MBP alone or no before colorectal surgery, supporting OABP relative is lacking. This study aimed investigate whether the addition was associated improved clinical outcomes after surgery following alone.Patients who underwent and either were identified using American College Surgeons' National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Colectomy Targeted Participant...
There is a lack of evidence for the association between intensive statin therapy and outcomes following vascular surgery. The aim this study was to evaluate perioperative intensity in-hospital mortality open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair.Patients undergoing AAA repair 2009 2015 were identified from Premier Healthcare Database. Statin use classified into low, moderate high intensity, based on American College Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines. Supratherapeutic defined...
To assess the effect of perioperative beta blocker (BB) use on postoperative in-hospital mortality after open repair abdominal aortic aneurysm (OAR).Postoperative OAR ranges from 3.0% to 4.5%. Insight about BBs is currently lacking.This a retrospective study patients undergoing 2009-Q3 2015-Q1 in Premier Healthcare Database. The Database includes data representing 20% all inpatient US discharges annually. Patients under 45 years, admitted trauma or who underwent multiple procedures, were...
We evaluated the occurrence of thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) and 30-day postoperative outcomes. Patients undergoing cervical/first rib resection surgery were identified in American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database (2005-2013). Thoracic types then examined. Propensity score matching was performed to account for potential confounders; 1180 patients explored during study period, 1007 (85.3%) neurogenic TOS (NTOS), 32 (2.7%) had arterial (ATOS), 141...
Background: Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has defined a set high-risk criteria to help define patients who would likely benefit from CAS over CEA. The purpose this study was evaluate the postoperative outcomes in undergoing vs. CEA, whether those vary based on CMS criteria. Methods: All or CEA recorded Vascular Quality Initiative database (2013-2016) were included. Patients stratified as being normal-risk (Nr) (Hr) for published 30-day 2-year [stroke, myocardial infarction...
