Filter by:Purpose: The purpose of this study is to create prediction models for when major complications occur after elective colectomy surgery. Justification: After surgery, patients can have multiple complications. Accurate risk prediction after surgery is important for determining an appropriate level of monitoring and facilitating patient recovery at home. Objectives: Investigators aim to develop and internally validate prediction models to predict time-to-complication for each individual major medical complications (pneumonia, myocardial infarction (MI) (i.e. heart attacks), cerebral vascular event (CVA) (i.e. stroke), venous thromboembolism (VTE) (i.e. clots), acute renal failure (ARF) (i.e. kidney failure), and sepsis (i.e. severe infections)) or adverse outcomes (mortality, readmission) within 30-days after elective colectomy. Data analysis: Investigators will be analyzing a data set provided by the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP). Descriptive statistics will be performed. Cox proportional hazard and machine learning models will be created for each complication and outcome outlined in "Objectives". The performances of the models will be assessed and compared to each other.
Evaluation of robot Da Vinci Xi by determining its learning curve.The operating time will be defined by patient then the operating average will be calculated.
To determine the clinical characteristics and risk factors for the onset of diverticular disease and its complications in the Italian population.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether antibiotics is mandatory for the treatment of acute uncomplicated right-sided diverticulitis. The hypothesis is that patients having acute uncomplicated diverticulitis at right-sided colon will be recovered without antibiotics.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether elective sigmoid resection will improve quality of life compared to conservative treatment with lifestyle guidance and fiber supplement in patients with a recurrent or complicated diverticulitis.
