Background: Textbook outcome is a composite quality measurement in esophageal cancer surgery. This study aimed to estimate the rate of textbook outcome esophagectomies at a high-volume center and investigate associations between textbook outcome and overall and recurrence-free survival.

Methods: A retrospective single-center study was conducted at Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet, Denmark, analyzing esophagectomies performed from November 1, 2016, to December 31, 2021.

The current application of robotic surgery is evolving at a high pace in the current years. The technical advantages enable several abdominal surgical procedures to be performed minimally invasive instead of open surgery. Furthermore, procedures previously performed successfully using standard laparoscopy are now performed with a robotic approach, with conflicting results.

Article Synopsis
  • The PRECISe trial is a randomized controlled study that investigates whether higher enteral protein intake improves recovery in critically ill adults on mechanical ventilation, focusing on primary and secondary health outcomes using a Bayesian analysis approach.
  • The primary outcome evaluates quality of life through the EQ-5D-5L score, along with various secondary outcomes, including walking test performance, handgrip strength, and mortality rates, assessed throughout the study period.
  • The study aims to provide insights into the effects of high protein diets in critically ill patients by applying both weakly informative and more specific priors in its analysis, ensuring robust evaluation of the results.
