POSTOPED: improving surveillance of postoperative delirium in a Scottish tertiary hospital.

Delirium is the most common postoperative complication among patients over the age of 65 years. It is associated with increased morbidity and is a significant financial cost to healthcare systems.We aimed to improve the detection of delirium on the surgical wards of a tertiary surgical centre.

Real world outcomes of biopsy-proven oncocytic neoplasm of the kidney managed by surveillance.

Objectives: To evaluate outcomes of patients diagnosed with oncocytic renal neoplasms on routine renal mass biopsy and to describe the natural history of these tumours when managed with surveillance as opposed to immediate intervention. To report disease-specific survival.

Patients And Methods: Patients were identified from a retrospective review of pathology databases from three tertiary referral centres that utilise renal mass biopsy in routine clinical practice.
