Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to learn about postoperative mortality and postoperative length of stay outcomes after abdominal laparoscopic major surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: Does general anesthesia lower complications compared to loco-regional anesthesia (keeping the patient spontaneously breathing and sedated) in laparoscopic abdominal major surgery? Participants are followed for neurological sequelae for 90 days following surgery
Several randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that azithromycin mass drug administration (MDA) reduces child mortality, but increases antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for this intervention specify that implementation must be accompanied by continued monitoring of mortality and AMR. Niger is expanding the azithromycin MDA program nationwide. To establish monitoring of mortality and AMR as part of this program as well as to leverage the infrastructure to evaluate other child health interventions, AVENIR II is designed as an adaptive platform trial with monitoring and re-randomization every 2 years.
Many drugs have anticholinergic activity. This means that it blocks the muscarinic binding of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. In this study, the anticholinergic burden of the patients in the perioperative period will be calculated with the Anticholinergic Cognitive Burden Scale (ACBS) and patients with a score of 1 or above will be included in the study. Anticholinergic load of drugs used in the intraoperative period; Its effect on postoperative hospital stay, morbidity and mortality following elective heart surgery will be investigated.
We aimed to assess the association between postoperative new-onset proteinuria, all-cause mortality, and decline in kidney function in Chinese people who underwent surgery. The exposure variable was the dipstick proteinuria values from the initial postoperative urinalysis within 30 days after surgery, categorized as negative, trace, 1+, and ≥2+. The primary outcome was 30-day mortality. The secondary outcomes included 1-year mortality and composite kidney outcome assessed using the postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate.
Covid-19 patients admitted to the intensive care unit of Selcuk University Hospital were included in the study. Clinical frailty score was given during admission to the intensive care unit. Demographic data, laboratory data, radiological imaging and vital signs of the patients were recorded. Treatment and patient positions were recorded during the intensive care follow-up of the patients. Mortality status of the patients 6 months after admission to the ICU was recorded.
Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), one of the most complex and invasive abdominal surgeries, is associated with long length of stay (LOS) and high morbidity and mortality rates. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is gaining popularity because it reduces surgical stress and promotes physiological stability through standardized perioperative care, thereby improving the recovery process and outcomes after surgery. ERAS is a comprehensive approach to perioperative care that involves the collaboration of multiple departments. Within the ERAS program, components primarily implemented by the anesthesiology department include preoperative carbohydrate loading, maintenance of near-zero fluid balance, and multimodal analgesic management, such as midthoracic epidural block. However, they may be underutilized for several reasons, such as deviation from conventional methods (e.g., preoperative carbohydrate loading) or the highly demanding nature of the procedures, which require significant human resources, specialized equipment, and time (e.g., thoracic epidural or transverse abdominis block). Several randomized trials involving patients undergoing PD have reported that the implementation of ERAS has provided high-level evidence on a safer and quicker recovery, with decreased morbidity rates and shorter LOS than traditional care. Furthermore, a recent study on colorectal surgery reported that the ERAS program may improve not only short-term but also long-term oncological outcomes. However, there is a paucity of research investigating the effects of ERAS on mortality after PD. Furthermore, the impact of anesthesiology-related components within the ERAS pathway has not been extensively studied. A previously published randomized controlled trial from our institution showed that the outcomes after applying pre- and postoperative ERAS protocols without anesthesiology-related components (Surg-ERAS) were comparable to those of the conventional protocol. This study aimed to compare the short- and long-term mortality rates among patients undergoing PD by examining the same cohort from a previous study, including the conventional (Non-ERAS) and Surg-ERAS groups, in addition to anesthesia fully implementing ERAS programs (ANS-Surg-ERAS group). Moreover, LOS; inflammation parameters, such as neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR); morbidity rate, reoperation rate, and readmission rate were compared among the three groups.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of coke zero consumption by night-call staffs on inpatient admission and mortality, and total sleep duration during the night-call duty. Coke Zero is a soft drink that is widely popular within the medical community, carrying the meaning of "zero", which to some, signifies the minimal level of morbidity and mortality that will occupy the on-call the night staffs.
The objective of this investigation was to assess the predictive capacity of the NUTRIC Score and NRS-2002, separately or combined, in forecasting hospital, 28-day and 3-month mortality in patients with respiratory failure admitted to the intensive care unit.
The goal of this study is to determine if oral Minocycline's proposed neuroprotective effects further improve the clinical outcomes, including mortality, of acute stroke patients beyond the current standard stroke care in a large scale randomized prospective open label (outcome assessor blinded) clinical trial. Participants will be randomly assigned (1:1) to take Minocycline 200mg orally every 24 hours for five days, starting within 24 hours from stroke symptoms onset, in addition to standard care or standard care alone. NIHSS (The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale) and mRS (Modified Rankin Scale) will be collected at the time of presentation, discharge and again at 30- and 90-days post-discharge. All-cause mortality will also be obtained at 30 days and 90 days.
In Africa, the prevalence of critical illness is likely to be higher due to a greater burden of disease, and the associated mortality higher due to limited resources. This is a prospective, observational study to rapidly establish the prevalence of critical illness in in-hospital adult patients in Africa, and the resources available to provide essential critical care (care that should be available to every patient in the world) and factors associated with mortality. Rapid dissemination of these findings may help mitigate mortality from critical illness in Africa. These points provide the rationale for the African Critical Illness Outcomes Study.
