Abstract Background Recent evidence has suggested an association between postoperative non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and increased operation-specific complications. This study aimed to determine the safety profile following gastrointestinal surgery across a multicentre setting in UK. Methods was carried out during 2-week interval September–October 2013. Consecutive adults undergoing elective or emergency resection were included. The powered detect 10 per cent increase major...

Accurate limb volume measurement is key in the assessment of outcomes lymphedema microsurgery. There are two commonly used methods as follows: manual circumferential (tape) or Perometer measurement. no data on intra- and interclass correlation either method, making it difficult to establish a gold standard We aim assess each method most appropriate for clinical practice future research studies, aiming compare accuracy reliability tape assessed against measurement.Student volunteers experts...

Diagnosis is a cornerstone of medical practice. Worldwide, there increased demand for diagnostic services, exacerbating workforce shortages. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies may improve efficiency, accuracy, and access. Understanding stakeholder perspectives key to informing implementation complex interventions. We systematically reviewed the literature on AI, including all English-language peer-reviewed primary qualitative or mixed-methods research.

Dupuytren's disease is a common, chronic, fibroproliferative of the palmar fascia. The cause unclear but includes genetic predisposition alongside environmental factors. Several studies have suggested an association between and excess mortality. authors aimed to evaluate this in adult patients United Kingdom identify causes mortality.The used large primary care database (Clinical Practice Research Datalink) linked Office National Statistics with January 1, 1995, December 31, 2013. Each...

Previous studies suggest that Dupuytren’s disease is associated with increased mortality, but most failed to account for important confounders. In this population-based cohort study, general practitioners’ (GP) data were linked Statistics Netherlands register all-cause and disease-specific mortality. Patients identified using the corresponding diagnosis code assessing free-text fields from GP consultations. Multiple imputations performed estimate missing values of covariates, followed by 1:7...

Health care burden attributable to Dupuytren disease (DD) is largely unknown. The authors determined (1) the prevalence and incidence of DD, (2) first surgical intervention, (3) lifetime risk intervention in United Kingdom National Healthcare Service.In this population-based dynamic cohort analysis, data Clinical Practice Research Datalink was linked Hospital Episode Statistics, characterize diagnosis treatment DD. Secular trends DD were calculated for 2000 2013. A multistate Markov model...

Abstract Objectives Intra-articular steroid injection is commonly used to treat base of thumb osteoarthritis (BTOA), despite a lack large-scale data on safety and effectiveness. We estimate the incidence serious complications further procedures following BTOA injection, including risk post-operative surgical site infection for subsequent operative intervention. Methods Hospital Episode Statistics linked mortality records from 1 April 1998 31 March 2017 were identify all injections undertaken...

Background: To derive and validate a predictive scoring tool (RHINO-ooze score) with good sensitivity specificity in identifying patients epistaxis at high risk of 30 day readmission to enable stratification for possible definitive intervention. Methods:Using medical databases, we searched "factors influencing recurrent epistaxis".The information ascertained together our analysis retrospective data on admitted between October 2013 September 2014, was used as the derivation cohort develop...

<title>Abstract</title> Background: Robust de-identification is necessary to preserve patient confidentiality and maintain public acceptability for electronic health record (EHR) research. Manual redaction of personally identifiable information (PII) time-consuming expensive, limiting the scale data-sharing. Automated could alleviate this burden, but best strategy not clear. Advances in natural language processing (NLP) emergence foundational large models (LLMs) show promise performing...

Objective/Hypothesis: Dupuytren disease is an inherited fibroproliferative of the palmer fascia and frequently leads to disability reduced quality life. Previous small studies from Scandinavia have suggested that might be associated with increased mortality. We therefore hypothesized would increase in all-cause mortality within UK this excess accounted for by cancer or cardiovascular deaths. Materials Methods: harnessed Clinical Research Practice Database (CPRD), a large primary care...
