Article Synopsis
- Predicting malignant transformation in pancreatic cyst patients is tough, prompting a study on risk factors.
- The study reviewed 479 patients from 2008 to 2021, revealing that 9.2% experienced significant changes and 1.7% developed pancreatic cancer.
- Key predictive factors identified include cyst diameter, main pancreatic duct diameter, multilocular cysts, and inconsistent duct caliber, allowing risk stratification into low, medium, and high-risk groups for better monitoring.
Article Synopsis
- - The study assessed the effectiveness of a standardized review strategy for intravenous antibiotics in hospitalized Japanese patients with uncomplicated diverticulitis (UD) after previously using a physician's choice strategy.
- - Results showed a significant reduction in the median duration of antibiotic use from 5 to 4 days with the review strategy, as well as increased completion rates of the 3-day antibiotic course (from 6.6% to 25.3%).
- - However, the length of hospital stays and total healthcare costs did not decrease, indicating that while the review strategy improved antibiotic management, it didn't lead to shorter hospitalizations or lower costs.
