Background: High-impact surgery imposes a significant physiological and functional burden and is associated with substantial postoperative morbidity. Multimodal prehabilitation has demonstrated a reduction in postoperative complications and enhanced functional recovery, mainly in abdominal cancer surgery. Common preoperative risk factors shared among patients undergoing high-impact surgery, extending beyond abdominal cancer surgery procedures, suggest the relevance of multimodal prehabilitation to a broader patient population.

Background: A textbook outcome for the management of uncomplicated cholecystolithiasis is the targeted clinical scenario and is characterized by no recurrent biliary colic, absence of surgical and biliary complications, and absence or relief of abdominal pain. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of textbook outcomes after cholecystectomy and identify associated baseline factors.
Methods: Patients from 2 Dutch multicenter prospective trials between 2014 and 2019 (SECURE and SUCCESS trial) were included.
Article Synopsis
- In the LADI trial, researchers found that extending adalimumab (ADA) dosing intervals was just as effective as standard dosing for Crohn's disease patients in remission.
- The study aimed to create a prediction model to identify patients who could successfully increase their dosing intervals based on trial data.
- Results showed that 60.6% of patients successfully extended their dosing, with certain factors (like smoking and prior surgeries) making success less likely; the model's effectiveness needs further external validation before clinical use.
Objectives: To assess the extent of non-indicated vitamin B- and D-testing among Dutch clinicians and its variation among hospitals.
Design: Cross-sectional study using registration data from 2015 to 2019.
Participants: Patients aged between 18 and 70 years who received a vitamin B- or D-test.
