Assessment of the feasibility of same-day discharge following minimally invasive hysterectomy in the elderly population.

Objective: To determine the safety and feasibility of same-day discharge (SDD) following minimally invasive hysterectomy (MIH) for elderly patients and to evaluate associations between age, frailty, and postoperative outcomes.

Methods: Retrospective review was conducted of patients aged ≥ 70 who underwent MIH within a single gynecologic oncology institution from 2018 to 2020. Demographics, -operative factors, postoperative complications, and 30-day readmission rates were collected.

Safety and feasibility of same-day discharge following minimally invasive hysterectomy in the morbidly obese patient population.

Objectives: To determine whether morbid obesity should serve as an independent factor in the decision for same day discharge following minimally invasive hysterectomy.

Methods: Retrospective review was performed of patients with BMI ≥ 40 who underwent minimally invasive hysterectomy within a single comprehensive cancer center between January 2018 - August 2020. Demographics, perioperative factors, post-operative monitoring, complications, and readmissions were compared between patients who underwent same day discharge and overnight observation using Fisher's exact tests and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests.

Effectiveness of Cessation Messages Targeting Pregnant and Nonpregnant Female Smokers in the United States: A Cross-Sectional Analysis into the Impact of Pregnancy, Self-Efficacy, and Risk Perception.

Objectives: Roughly 10% of pregnant women are current smokers. Improving smoking cessation in this population before and during pregnancy is essential to prevent adverse fetal outcomes. This study aimed to examine cessation messages targeting American women.
