Identifying Components of an Enhanced Recovery Pathway for Primary Cleft Palate Repair: A Scoping Review.

Objective: This study aims to map the existing sources of evidence on perioperative care and recovery strategies for primary cleft palate repair, to identify elements that should be included in an enhanced recovery pathway (ERP), and to identify gaps in current knowledge.

Design: Scoping review.

Setting: ERPs are evidence-based, patient-centered, multimodal, perioperative care pathways designed to reduce surgical stress and improve postoperative outcomes and are increasingly being reported in the cleft lip and palate literature.

Ferric carboxymaltose in reducing blood transfusions and infections after cardiac surgery.

Objective: Iron supplementation may reduce postoperative anemia, blood transfusions, and infections in patients undergoing surgery. We sought to assess efficacy and safety of prophylactic intravenous iron supplementation in patients without anemia undergoing cardiac surgery.

Methods: In this investigator-initiated industry-sponsored single-center randomized double-blind parallel group trial, we enrolled patients undergoing coronary bypass, aortic or mitral valve or ascending aortic surgery who fulfilled prespecified iron blood test safety criteria.

Associations Between Knowledge of Health Conditions and Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Intake Among US Adults, 2021.

Background: Frequent consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) is associated with an increased risk of some health outcomes.

Objective: We investigated the relationships between knowledge of health risks related to SSB and SSB intake among adults.

Methods: This cross-sectional study utilized data from the 2021 SummerStyles survey.
