The Epidemiology of Perioperative Care in Sweden (EPeCS) study is a registry-based, retrospective extensive analysis of the whole adult (≥18 years) surgical population in Sweden during six full years, 1 January 2015 - 31 December 2020. Patients are retrieved from the Swedish Perioperative Registry (SPOR) which has full national coverage of public healthcare. The study aspire to integrate pre-, peri- and postoperative components of the whole perioperative process as well as process, patient, anaesthesia and surgical factors. This allows for careful risk-adjustment and is a major strength of the project. This will require cross-matching data from several national quality registries. EPeCS will serve as a database to be used as the foundation for several substudies that are to be conducted (10 at the present moment). Specific study focuses and aims are described in the "Detailed Description" section below. The present study aims to provide a comprehensive audit of the surgical population in Sweden, and to identify factors that are of importance for outcome. The investigators aim to identify factors that will allow a better prediction of outcome, if they are modifiable, and if they are different for different lengths of follow-up. The ultimate goal is to provide hypotheses for directed therapies (eg. different types of anaesthesia), processes (eg. designated around-the-clock hip-fracture surgical teams), postoperative care (eg. extended PACU care instead of intensive care) in order to decrease suffering and increase cost-efficacy in Swedish healthcare.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide in spite of the advanced progresses in medication and low-dose CT screening. The early-stage lung cancer accounts for less than 50% of newly diagnosed lung cancer in Taiwan, even in stage IB patients proximately 30% still suffer from recurrence and metastasis. The International Cancer Moonshot Project recently established the first comprehensive proteogenomics profiling of early-stage lung cancer patients in East Asia, revealing a proteomics-informed classification to identify a new "late like" subtype, which can identify a subgroup of early-stage patients with worse clinicopathological features (Cell, Cover story, 2020). This study has been featured in prestigious journals (Nat Rev Clin Oncol; Cancer Discov, 2020) and led to two provisional US patents. In this proposal, taking the discovery from the Cancer Moonshot multiomics database, the investigators aim to translate these findings into clinical utilities. Two subprojects are proposed. (1) Validation of "late-like" protein markers for identifying high-risk early-stage lung cancer: Two IVD kits will be developed, including high-risk early-stage lung cancer IHC prediction kit for tumor staining and high-risk early lung cancer ELISA prediction kit for noninvasive diagnosis. (2) Conducting a prospective clinical trial to evaluate the accuracy of high-risk early-stage lung cancer IHC prediction kit and high-risk early-stage lung cancer ELISA prediction kit.
Sleeve gastrectomy, the most commonly performed bariatric surgery procedure, carries limitations both short-term including postoperative complications such as hemorrhage and gastric fistula and long-term such as weight regain and gastro-esophageal reflux. A new procedure has been proposed to overcome many of these limitations: laparoscopic vertical clip gastroplasty (LVCG) with Bariclip. Primary outcome were major postoperative complications. Secondary outcomes included weight loss, incidence of de-novo GERD and comorbidity resolution.
A pilot, prospective, single-center study for the investigation of the use of Prevena Vacuum-Assisted Closure devices in patients undergoing spine surgery.
Based on enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), ambulatory loop ileostomy reversal (ALIR) has been reported in developed countries. However, there is still no research proposing how to carry out ALIR in developing countries. This study was performed to determine the feasibility of ALIR in China based on the community hospital joined enhanced recovery after surgery (CHJ-ERAS) program.
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the optimal insertion depth of an esophageal stethoscope with a thermistor for core temperature monitoring.
To gain a better understanding of the epidemiology of intraoperative hypocapnia, in particular the associations of intraoperative hypocapnia with patient demographics, ventilator characteristics, and perioperative complications we will perform an individual patient-level meta-analysis of two recent randomized clinical trials of intraoperative ventilation, the 'PROtective Ventilation using High versus LOw PEEP trial' (PROVHILO), and the 'Protective intraoperative ventilation with higher versus lower levels of positive end-expiratory pressure in obese patients trial' (PROBESE).
This study retrospectively analyzed cases of remote robot-assisted spine surgery performed jointly by the Beijing Jishuitan Hospital Spinal Surgery and partner hospitals, with cases of local orthopedic robot-assisted spine surgeries performed by Beijing Jishuitan Hospital between April 2021 and December 2021.
A digital preoperative assessment clinic provides a solution for the increasing demand and declining performance on waiting times for surgery, while conducting assessments to a high standard. However, it remains unclear if a digital preoperative assessment is as effective as a face-to-face clinic in terms of patient health outcomes and experience compared. This study aimed to compare quality or recovery and overall patient experience in patients undergoing a digital preoperative assessment versus regular face-to-face consultations.
