A Five-Year Review of the Outcomes of Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System 4 Lesions in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia.

Purpose: The Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) lexicon used in reporting breast imaging has several categories with specific positive predictive values for breast cancer. Among those, BI-RADS 4 is associated with a wider range of risk for breast cancer, which makes the decision for biopsy difficult. The study aim was to determine the malignancy rate and clinical outcomes of BI-RADS 4 lesions in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM) for a period of five years.

Conversion rate and risk factors of conversion to open in laparoscopic appendicectomy.

Purpose: Laparoscopic appendicectomy (LA) has several advantages over conventional open appendicectomy (OA). However, about 5% to 10% of LA patients still need to be converted to open surgery. Identifying risk factors that contribute to conversion to OA allows for early identification of patients who may benefit from primary OA.
