Filter by:Excessive anteversion is commonly observed in the cerebral palsy (CP) population. This can be treated by an orthopedic surgery, called femoral derotation osteotomy (FDO), to de-rotate the femur. It is a vital aspect of patient care to understand if the effects of an FDO are maintained long-term. The results of this study will have direct clinical impact by equipping providers with the necessary information to counsel families by providing families the information needed to make the most informed decision possible about this aspect of their child's healthcare.
The investigators will create a frailty index using health administrative data available for older people having surgery. The index will be based on the Canadian Study of Health and Aging Frailty Index and standard recommendations for creation of frailty indices.
There is currently a lack of evidence to support the use of perioperative point-of-care ultrasound to assess the outcomes in high risk surgical patients. Thus, the purposes of this study were to evaluate whether perioperative use of point-of-care ultrasound can reduce the worse postoperative outcomes in high surgical patients.
The prospective observational study is to establish a registry database to evaluate the potential impact of prior treatment with CMX001 on the long-term incidence of specific events, such as outcomes, late CMV and other Double-stranded DNA virus associated events, s well as survival rates in subjects previously enrolled in selected clinical studies of CMX001. Each Registry participant will be followed for a period of approximately 3 years from their enrollment in the Registry.
It is known that perioperative hypothermia can influence the postoperative outcome negatively. The most important complications are cardiac, increased blood loss with need for transfusion and a significantly increased wound infection rate. The thermal redistribution after the induction of anesthesia is on of the reasons for perioperative hypothermia. Another reason is negative heat balance during surgery. Further negative side effects of hypothermia are an increase of blood viscosity and thus a higher risk for thrombosis, coagulopathy and thus an increased risk of bleeding. The aim of the study is to evaluate if patients with a perioperative active thermal management during an interventional minimal invasive valve replacement have a significantly higher body temperature at the end of the operation than patients without an active thermal management. Secondary outcome variables are complication rates, length of mechanical ventilation and length of ICU treatment.
Health care organizations, including the VA, are investing substantial effort to improve quality of care. As part of this process, greater emphasis is being placed on measurement of outcomes, and in particular, functional outcomes and satisfaction as reported by patients.
