Integrating StEP-COMPAC definition and enhanced recovery after surgery status in a machine-learning-based model for postoperative pulmonary complications in laparoscopic hepatectomy.

Background: Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) contribute to high mortality rates and impose significant financial burdens. In this study, a machine learning-based prediction model was developed to identify patients at high risk of developing PPCs following laparoscopic hepatectomy.

Methods: Data were collected from 1022 adult patients who underwent laparoscopic hepatectomy at two centres between January 2015 and February 2021.

Hypertriglyceridemia is associated with stroke after non-cardiac, non-neurological surgery in the older patients: A nested case-control study.

Introduction: Geriatric postoperative stroke is a rare but serious complication after surgery. The association between hypertriglyceridemia and postoperative stroke remains controversial, especially in older patients undergoing non-cardiac, non-neurological surgery. The study aims to address this clinical dilemma.

Tree-based, two-stage risk factor analysis for postoperative sepsis based on Sepsis-3 criteria in elderly patients: A retrospective cohort study.

Background: Sepsis remains the leading cause of postoperative death in elderly patients and is defined as organ dysfunction with proven or suspected infection according to Sepsis-3 criteria. To better avoid potential non-linear associations between the risk factors, we firstly used a tree-based analytic methods to explore the putative risk factors of geriatric sepsis based on the criteria in the study.

Methods: Data of 7,302 surgical patients aged ≥ 65 years at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2015 to September 2020 were collected.

Association between glucose-to-lymphocyte ratio and in-hospital mortality in intensive care patients with sepsis: A retrospective observational study based on Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the association between the glucose-to-lymphocyte ratio (GLR) and in-hospital mortality in intensive care unit (ICUs) patients with sepsis.

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study. Patients with sepsis from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV) database had their baseline data and in-hospital prognosis retrieved.

Which is the best analgesia treatment for total knee arthroplasty: Adductor canal block, periarticular infiltration, or liposomal bupivacaine? A network meta-analysis.

Study Objective: To review all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the analgesic efficacy of adductor canal block (ACB), periarticular infiltration (PAI), and any other mode of these treatments in analgesia, such as PAI with liposomal bupivacaine (LB), continuous adductor canal block (cACB) or ACB + PAI, after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Design: Systematic review and network meta-analysis of RCTs.

Patients: We searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane database to detect all relevant RCTs on investigating the analgesic effects of ACB, PAI and LB for TKA published until April 2020.

[Comparative of coopdech bronchial blocker and double-lumen tube on one lung ventilation in children].

Objective: To compare the application of Coopdech bronchial blocker and double lumen bronchial tube during one lung ventilation in children.

Methods: Forty children undergoing one lung ventilation for thoracic surgery at Shantou Central Hospital from January 2012 to June 2013, approved by hospital ethics committee, were randomized into Coopdech bronchial blocker group (group A) and double-lumen tube group (group B). Anesthetic management and lung isolation were performed according to a standardized protocol.
