Aim: The aim was to characterize the incidence and short-term prognostic value of an acute kidney injury (AKI) during the admission where an ileostomy is formed.
Methods: Adults with a baseline serum creatinine measurement discharged alive after ileostomy formation from 2014 to 2016 were included. All patients had daily basic metabolic panels and the Kidney Diseases Improving Global Outcomes criteria were used to determine the presence and severity of any AKI.
Objective: To evaluate changes in self-reported depression after treatment of fecal incontinence (FI) with sacral neuromodulation.
Materials And Methods: This is a subanalysis of data collected from March 2016 to October 2017 for an Institutional Review Board-approved retrospective cohort study. Demographic information, medical history, psychiatric comorbidities, and the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System item bank t-scores were extracted from the electronic medical record.
Background: Twenty-nine percent of postileostomy discharges are readmitted, most commonly because of dehydration. However, there is a lack of detailed data specifically evaluating factors associated with readmission with dehydration. In addition, patients with a history of an ileostomy have often been excluded from previous studies and therefore represent a group of understudied ileostomates.

Objective: This study aims to examine trends in sacral nerve stimulation use compared with sphincteroplasty for fecal incontinence and surgeon-level variation in progression to implantation of the pulse generator.
Design: This is a population-based study.
