Introduction The diverse procedures and varying patient conditions in trauma laparotomy cases lead to significant variability hospital length of stay (HLOS), posing challenges for effective care. Strategies reduce HLOS are varied, with multiple factors potentially modifiable through targeted interventions. These interventions most when target populations their associated clearly defined. This study aimed stratify patients by identify enhance Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted...
Background Existing tools for rapid cognitive assessment in HIV-positive individuals with mild deficits lack sensitivity or do not meet psychometric requirements tracking changes ability over time. Methods Seventy-five nondemented patients were evaluated the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), a brief battery of standardized neuropsychological tests, and computerized tasks evaluating frontal-executive function processing speed. Rasch analyses applied to MoCA data set subsequently full from...
Abstract Background Anesthesia is integral to improving surgical care in low-resource settings. providers who work these areas should be familiar with the particularities associated providing settings, including types and outcomes of commonly performed anesthetic procedures. Methods The authors conducted a retrospective analysis procedures at Médecins Sans Frontières facilities from July 2008 June 2014. collected data on patient demographics, procedural characteristics, outcome. factors...
Humanitarian organizations care for burns during crisis and while supporting healthcare facilities in low-income middle-income countries. This study aimed to define the epidemiology of burn-related procedures aid humanitarian response. In addition, operational data collected from are useful describing surgical need otherwise unmet by national health systems. Procedures performed operating theatres run Médecins Sans Frontières-Operations Centre Brussels (MSF-OCB) July 2008 through June 2014...
<h3>Background:</h3> The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is responsible for millions of infections worldwide, and a substantial number these patients will be admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Our objective was describe characteristics, outcomes management critically ill with COVID-19 pneumonia at single designated centre in Montréal, Canada. <h3>Methods:</h3> A descriptive analysis performed on consecutive ICU Jewish General Hospital, between Mar. 5 May 21, 2020....
<h3>Background</h3> A total of 18%–30% Canadians live in a rural area and are served by 8% the country's general surgeons. The demographic characteristics Canada's population its geography greatly affect health outcomes needs living areas, surgeons hold unique role meeting surgical these communities. Rural surgery is distinct practice that not well understood. We aimed to define Canadian surgeon inform human resource planning. <h3>Methods</h3> scoping review literature was undertaken Ovid,...
BACKGROUND Leak following surgical repair of traumatic duodenal injuries results in prolonged hospitalization and oftentimes nil per os treatment. Parenteral nutrition (PN) has known morbidity; however, leak patients often have complex hospital courses resulting barriers to enteral (EN). We hypothesized that EN alone would be associated with (1) shorter duration until closure (2) less infectious complications length stay compared PN. METHODS This was a post hoc analysis retrospective,...
Introduction The utility of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for high-grade traumatic injuries remains unclear and data surrounding its use are limited. We hypothesized that PD does not result in improved outcomes when compared with non-PD surgical management grade IV–V pancreaticoduodenal injuries. Methods This is a retrospective, multicenter analysis from 35 level 1 trauma centers January 2010 to December 2020. Included patients were ≥15 years age the American Association Surgery Trauma...
BACKGROUND Duodenal leak is a feared complication of repair, and innovative complex repairs with adjunctive measures (CRAM) were developed to decrease both occurrence severity when leaks occur. Data on the association CRAM duodenal are sparse, its impact outcomes nonexistent. We hypothesized that primary repair alone (PRA) would be associated decreased rates; however, improved recovery do METHODS A retrospective, multicenter analysis from 35 Level 1 trauma centers included patients older...
<h3>Background:</h3> Trauma remains a leading cause of death worldwide. The development trauma systems in low-resource settings may be benefit. objective this study was to describe operative procedures performed for at tertiary care facility Kigali, Rwanda, and evaluate geographical variations referral patterns care. <h3>Methods:</h3> We retrospectively reviewed all prospectively collected cases the largest hospital Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Kigali (CHUK), between June 1 Dec. 1,...
