Association between troponin I levels and mortality among patients undergoing acute high-risk abdominal surgery-A cohort study.

Background: Myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) is associated with 30-day mortality in heterogeneous surgical populations but is barely described after acute high-risk abdominal surgery. The impact of dynamic changes has not previously been investigated. The objectives were to determine the incidence of MINS in this population, the association between mortality and MINS, and whether plasma troponin I (TnI) dynamics have any impact on mortality.

Myocardial Injury After Noncardiac Surgery in Major General Surgical Patients a Prospective Observational Cohort Study.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the prognostic relevance, clinical characteristics, and 30-day outcomes associated with myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) in major general surgery patients.

Background: MINS has been independently associated with 30-day mortality after noncardiac surgery. The characteristics and prognostic importance of MINS in major general surgical patients have not been described.

Long-term outcome after Bascom's pit-pick procedure for pilonidal sinus disease: A cohort study.

Aim: Previous studies have shown favourable short-term results after Bascom's pit-pick procedure for simple pilonidal sinus disease. A minimum 5-year follow-up is considered the gold standard but only a few long-term studies have previously been reported. Here, we aimed to estimate the long-term risk of treatment failure, incomplete wound healing or recurrence, postoperative complications and patient reported outcome measures such as chronic pain and satisfaction with cosmetic appearance.
