Aim: The aim of this work was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of performing colonoscopy in patients aged 90 years or over.
Method: In compliance with PRISMA statement standards, a systematic review of studies reporting the outcomes of colonoscopy in patients aged ≥90 years was conducted. A proportional meta-analysis model was constructed to quantify the risk of outcomes and a direct comparison meta-analysis model was constructed to compare outcomes between nonagenarians and patients aged between 50 and 89 years via random-effects models.
Article Synopsis
- * Findings show that low CVP significantly reduces intraoperative blood loss but does not affect blood transfusion needs, mean arterial pressure, or operative time.
- * The authors suggest that while low CVP may be beneficial, more extensive randomized controlled trials are needed for stronger evidence regarding its overall impact on surgical outcomes.
Background: Suture anchors are widely used for labral reconstruction surgery. However, there has been some concern over the development of osteolysis around the anchor. This has been reported for both biocomposite and all-suture anchors, but they have not been compared directly in vivo.
