Forecasting Pediatric Trauma Volumes: Insights From a Retrospective Study Using Machine Learning.

Introduction: Rising pediatric firearm-related fatalities in the United States strain Trauma Centers. Predicting trauma volume could improve resource management and preparedness, particularly if daily forecasts are achievable. The aim of the study is to evaluate various machine learning models' accuracy on monthly, weekly, and daily data.

Review of Low Titer Group O Whole Blood (LTOWB) Transfusion in Initial Resuscitation of Pediatric Trauma Patients: Assessing Potential Benefits.

Background: Hemorrhagic shock secondary to trauma is a leading cause of pediatric mortality in the United States. Timely intervention is crucial to prevent many of these deaths. Children and adults exhibit distinct responses to trauma due to varying blood volume ratios and injury patterns.

A large-cohort comparison between single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy and conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy from a single center; 2080 cases.

Backgrounds/aims: This study was conducted to verify and compare the safety and feasibility of single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) and conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CLC).

Methods: A total of 2,080 patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a single center, Konyang University Hospital, between 2010 and 2016. We retrospectively compared the demographics, perioperative outcome, and postoperative complication results between the CLC and SILC groups.

Retrospective assessment of the validity of robotic surgery in comparison to open surgery for pediatric choledochal cyst.

Purpose: We evaluated the validity of robotic surgery (RS) for pediatric choledochal cyst (CC) in comparison to open surgery (OS).

Materials And Methods: From January 2009 to April 2013, clinical data from 79 consecutive pediatric patients with CC, who underwent RS (n=36) or OS (n=43) performed by a single pediatric surgeon, were analyzed retrospectively.

Results: In the RS group, the age of the patients was significantly older, compared to the OS group.
