The Organ Injury Scaling (OIS) Committee of the American Association for Surgery Trauma (AAST) was organized formally in 1987; fundamental purpose to devise injury severity scores individual organs facilitate clinical investigation and outcomes research. OIS members were selected on basis recognized expertise as well experience with scoring. charged develop a comprehensive set OISs, monitor their application current literature, recommend modifications when deemed appropriate. following OISs...
The Organ Injury Scaling (O.I.S.) Committee of the American Association for Surgery Trauma (A.A.S.T.) was appointed by President Trunkey at 1987 Annual Meeting. principal charge to devise injury severity scores individual organs facilitate clinical research. resultant classification scheme is fundamentally an anatomic description, scaled from 1 5, representing least most severe injury. A number similar scales have been developed in past, but none has uniformly adopted. In fact, this concept...
The authors determined the risk factors of mortality in patients with necrotizing soft-tissue infections (NSTIs) and examined incidence from NSTI secondary to Streptococcus pyogenes.All NSTIs who were treated between January 1989 June 1994 analyzed for presentation, etiology, important pathogenesis treatment, mortality.Sixty-five identified postoperative wound complications (18), trauma (15), cutaneous disease idiopathic causes (10), perirectal abscesses (3), strangulated hernias (2),...

Despite advances in diagnosis, surgery, and antimicrobial therapy, mortality rates associated with complicated intra-abdominal infections remain exceedingly high.The 2013 update of the World Society Emergency Surgery (WSES) guidelines for management contains evidence-based recommendations patients infections.
The CIAOW study (Complicated intra-abdominal infections worldwide observational study) is a multicenter underwent in 68 medical institutions during six-month period (October 2012-March 2013). included patients older than 18 years undergoing surgery or interventional drainage to address complicated (IAIs). 1898 with mean age of 51.6 (range 18-99) were enrolled the study. 777 (41%) women and 1,121 (59%) men. Among these patients, 1,645 (86.7%) affected by community-acquired IAIs while...

Objectives Hospitalization for observation is the current standard of practice patients who have sustained blunt abdominal trauma and do not require emergent operation, despite having undergone diagnostic studies that exclude presence an intra-abdominal injury. The reasons this are multifactorial include perceived false-negative rate all tests, belief hospitalization will allow prompt diagnosis occult injuries, medicolegal considerations about risk early discharge. focus study was to...

In Brief Objectives: Surgery residency serves 2 purposes—prepare graduates for general surgery (GS) practice or postresidency surgical fellowship, leading to specialty (SS). This study was undertaken elucidate factors influencing career choice these groups. Methods: All US allopathic from 2009 2013 (n = 5512) were surveyed by the American Board of regarding confidence, autonomy, and reasons selection between GS SS. Surveys distributed mail in November 2013, with follow-up mailings initial...
