Although significant racial disparities in the surgical management of lower extremity critical limb threatening ischemia have been previously reported, data on acute are lacking. The 2012–2018 National Inpatient Sample was queried for all adult hospitalizations (N = 225,180). Hospital-specific observed-to-expected rates major amputation were tabulated. Multivariable logistic and linear models developed to assess impact race revascularization. Nonwhite associated with significantly increased...
Frailty has been shown to portend worse outcomes in surgical patients. Our goal was identify the impact of frailty on and resource utilization among patients undergoing minor lower extremity amputation United States. Using Nationwide Readmission Database, we identified all adults a between 2010 2015, assessed 90-day outcomes, including readmission, reamputation, mortality, cumulative hospitalization costs. defined by International Classification Diseases codes consistent with ten clusters as...
Background: Bile duct injury (BDI) is one of the most severe complications during cholecystectomy. Early identification risk factors for BDI may permit reduction strategies and inform patient consent. Objective: This study aimed to define patient, provider, systemic associated with BDI; incidence; short-term outcomes after urgent Methods: Patients who underwent cholecystectomy acute cholecystitis were retrospectively screened (2020-2022). All patients sustained included without exclusions....
Background For difficult cholecystectomies, bail out procedures (BOP) are performed to mitigate risk of patient harm. Objective This study sought identify factors for BOP acute cholecystitis and compare outcomes by type performed. Methods: Patients with who underwent cholecystectomy were included (2020-2022). Demographics, clinical data, collected. Primary outcome was <30-day complication rate. Groups defined surgery performed: vs Laparoscopic Complete Cholecystectomy (LCC). BOPs as any...
