Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most common infections associated with health care, but its importance as a global priority not fully understood. We quantified burden SSI after gastrointestinal surgery in countries all parts world.
Background80% of individuals with cancer will require a surgical procedure, yet little comparative data exist on early outcomes in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). We compared postoperative breast, colorectal, gastric surgery hospitals worldwide, focusing the effect disease stage complications mortality.MethodsThis was multicentre, international prospective cohort study consecutive adult patients undergoing for primary or requiring skin incision done under general neuraxial...
The 2015 Lancet Commission on global surgery identified and anaesthesia as indispensable parts of holistic health-care systems. However, COVID-19 exposed the fragility planned surgical services around world, which have also been neglected in pandemic recovery planning. This study aimed to develop validate a novel index support local elective system strengthening address growing backlogs.
Abstract Background Appendicitis is the most common abdominal surgical emergency worldwide. Differences between high- and low-income settings in availability of laparoscopic appendectomy, alternative management choices, outcomes are poorly described. The aim was to identify variation appendicitis within low-, middle-, high-Human Development Index (HDI) countries Methods This a multicenter, international prospective cohort study. Consecutive sampling patients undergoing appendectomy over 6...
Pulmonary complications are the most common cause of death after surgery. This study aimed to derive and externally validate a novel prognostic model that can be used before elective surgery estimate risk postoperative pulmonary support resource allocation prioritisation during pandemic recovery. Data from an international, prospective cohort were develop for in adult patients (aged ≥18 years) across all operation disease types. The primary outcome measure was at 30 days surgery, which...
BackgroundEnd colostomy rates following colorectal resection vary across institutions in high-income settings, being influenced by patient, disease, surgeon and system factors. This study aimed to assess global variation end after left-sided resection.
AIM:To analyze the prognostic factors involved in survival and cancer recurrence patients undergoing surgical treatment for colorectal liver metastases (CLM) to describe effects of time-related changes on these patients. METHODS:From January 1994 2006, 236 with CLM underwent surgery aim performing curative resection neoplastic disease at our institution 189 (80%) intention.Preoperative, intraoperative postoperative data, including primary tumor pathology results, were retrospectively...
Purpose To quantify preoperative serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels in patients undergoing curative resection of colorectal liver metastases and to assess the relationship between NGAL prognostic features these patients. Methods From April 2005 August 2007, 32 operated on for first underwent determination NGAL. Patients were divided into four homogeneous clinical groups two risk based their scores. corrected by simultaneous creatinine avoid bias due renal failure....
