Article Synopsis
- - The pilot study aims to create machine learning models that can predict BMI changes for up to 5 years after bariatric surgery, improving preoperative obesity treatment and patient care.
- - Conducted from January 2012 to December 2021 in Switzerland, the study involved analyzing data from over 1,100 patients who underwent obesity surgeries, focusing on those with complete pre and postoperative information.
- - The results show reliable BMI predictions with low root mean square error values, highlighting the study's effectiveness in forecasting weight outcomes and the development of a web-based calculator for healthcare professionals.
Hospitals are facing difficulties in predicting, evaluating, and managing cost-affecting parameters in patient treatments. Inaccurate cost prediction leads to a deficit in operational revenue. This study aims to determine the ability of Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to predict the cost of care in bariatric and metabolic surgery and develop a predictive tool for improved cost analysis.

An 84-year-old man was started on spironolactone two weeks before presentation for the management of hypertension and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. He presented to our hospital for evaluation of worsening lower extremity swelling and a painful pruritic rash that started on the day preceding his presentation.

Methods: This unblinded, multicenter RCT was conducted at five swiss hospitals. Eligibility criteria were suspected CBDS.
Background: Paraesophageal hernias (PEH) tend to occur in elderly patients and the assumed higher morbidity of PEH repair may dissuade clinicians from seeking a surgical solution. On the other hand, the mortality rate for emergency repairs shows a sevenfold increase compared to elective repairs. This analysis evaluates the complication rates after elective PEH repair in patients 80 years and older in comparison with younger patients.
