Objective: To define benchmark cutoffs for redo liver transplantation (redo-LT). Background: In the era of organ shortage, redo-LT is frequently discussed in terms expected poor outcome and wasteful resources. However, there a lack data to reliably evaluate outcomes after redo-LT. Methods: We collected on between January 2010 December 2018 from 22 high-volume transplant centers. Benchmark cases were defined as recipients with model end stage disease (MELD) score ≤25, absence portal vein...
Abstract Background Access to the liver transplant waitlist for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) depends on tumour presentation, biology, and response treatments. The Milan Criteria (MC) represent benchmark expanded criteria that incorporate additional prognostic factors. purpose of this study was determine added value skeletal muscle index (SMI) in HCC beyond MC. Method Patients were transplanted MC included retrospective multicentre study. SMI quantified using Computed...
Objectives: To assess the current quality of surgical outcome reporting in medical literature and to provide recommendations for improvement. Background: In 1996, The Lancet labeled surgery as a “comic opera” mostly referring poor impeding improvement patient care. Methods: We screened 3 first-tier 2 second-tier journals, well leading journals original articles on results procedures published over recent 18-month period. was assessed using prespecified 12-item checklist. Results: Six hundred...
Objective: To provide improved guidance for the consistent application of Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC) and Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI ® ) in challenging clinical scenarios. Background: Standardized outcome reporting is key proper assessment surgical procedures. A recent consensus conference recommended CDC CCI assessing postoperative morbidity. Several scenarios grading complications still require evidence-based guidance, use 2 metrics randomized controlled trials (RCTs)...
This forum summarizes the proceedings of joint European Surgical Association (ESA)/American (ASA) symposium on Quality and Outcome Assessment for Surgery that took place in Bordeaux, France, as part celebrations 30th anniversary ESA. Three presentations focused a) main messages from Outcome4Medicine Consensus Conference, which Zurich, Switzerland, June 2022, b) patient perspective, c) benchmarking were hold by ESA members discussed ASA a attended both associations.
This prospective multi-center (PURE) clinical study evaluated healing rates for molars after root canal treatment employing the GentleWave® System (Sonendo, Inc., Laguna Hills, CA).Eighty-nine patients met inclusion criteria and consented this referral a treatment. All enrolled were treated with GentleWave System. Five endodontists performed procedures follow-up evaluations. Pre-operative, intra-operative, post-operative data collected from patients. Each patient was signs symptoms. Two...
Obesity is a growing healthcare challenge worldwide and significant risk factor for liver failure as seen with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Combining metabolic-bariatric surgery (MBS) transplantation (LT) appears attractive strategy to treat both, the underlying disease obesity. However, there an ongoing debate on best timing patient selection. This survey was designed explore current treatment practice patients NASH obesity worldwide.
Abstract Background Coffee has been suggested to help postoperative gastrointestinal motility but the mechanism is not known. This trial assessed whether caffeine shortened time bowel activity after laparoscopic colectomy. Methods was a single-centre, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled superiority (October 2015 August 2020). Patients aged at least 18 years undergoing elective colectomy were assigned randomly receive 100 mg or 200 caffeine, placebo (250 corn starch) three times...
Abstract Background Standardized outcome reporting is key for proper assessment of surgical procedures. A recent consensus conference recommended the Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC) and Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI®) assessing postoperative morbidity. However, their use in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) has not been assessed, several challenging scenarios grading complications require consensus-based guidance. Aims The aim this study was to assess CDC CCI® RCTs provide...
Indeterminate dendritic cell tumor (IDCT) is an extremely rare hematologic neoplastic disorder with proliferation of indeterminate cells. In the vast majority cases, IDCTs are restricted to skin or lymph nodes. To our knowledge, we report first case IDCT in pancreas. Due rarity extracutaneous IDCT, guidelines treatment recommendations addressing their management missing. We performed a review literature compare experience other IDCT. Histopathological examination confirms diagnosis electron...
Background and Objective : Contraceptive pills are generally taken orally can cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting hypertension. The vaginal use of these reduce complications. Our objective was to compare the efficacy low dose contraceptive by oral route in management dysfunctional uterine bleeding-(DUB) Methods: This comparative observational study conducted at Beheshti Alzahra (SA) teaching hospitals, affiliated Isfahan University Medical Sciences 2010-2011. One hundred women who...
Abstract Objective In the era of organ shortage, redo liver transplantation (reLT) is frequently discussed in terms expected poor outcome, high cost and therefore wasteful resources. However, there a lack benchmark data to reliably assess outcomes after reLT. The aim this study was define ideal reLT case, establish clinically relevant values for best achievable outcome Methods We collected on between January 2010 December 2018 from 22 volume transplant centers three continents. Benchmark...
Outcome reporting of surgical procedures was revolutionized in 2004 with the introduction Clavien-Dindo (CD) classification.1 This 5-scale grading system offers an objective, simple, reliable, and reproducible way recording complications, has gained wide acceptance among international community. With over 27’000 citations original paper become most cited article literature. In 2013, another milestone outcome introduced, Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI®).2 The CCI® is based on first...
Objectives: Compare patient selection and postoperative outcomes after surgical treatment for gastrointestinal disorders before during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Methods: We assessed surgeries conducted at a tertiary center from 2017-2021 differences in populations procedures (up to February 2020) pandemic (March 2020 December 2021). analyzed mortality, Intensive Care Unit (ICU) length of stay, admission ICU complications complex using descriptive statistics regression models. Results: 7309...
