Background: A time course analysis was undertaken to evaluate how perioperative process-of-care and outcome measures evolved after implementation of an enhanced recovery after thoracic surgery (ERATS) program.
Methods: Outcome and process-of-care measures were compared between patients undergoing major elective thoracic surgery during a 9-month pre-ERATS implementation period to those at 1-3, 4-6, and 7-9 months post-ERATS implementation. Outcome measures included length of stay, the 30-day readmission rate, 30-day emergency department visits, and minor and major adverse events.
Objectives: Data regarding enhanced recovery after thoracic surgery (ERATS) are sparse and inconsistent. This study aims to evaluate the effects of implementing an enhanced ERATS programme on postoperative outcomes, patient experience and quality of life (QOL).
Methods: We conducted a prospective, longitudinal study evaluating 9 months before (pre-ERATS) and 9 months after (post-ERATS) a 3-month implementation of an ERATS programme in a single academic tertiary care centre.
Objective: To identify knowledge of breast cancer (BC) symptoms, time taken to consult a doctor and factors contributing to delays in medical help-seeking.
Design: A cross-sectional study of Omani women diagnosed with BC.
Setting: The two main teaching hospitals in Oman: Royal Hospital and Sultan Qaboos University Hospital.
Background: This study investigated the role of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in predicting anastomotic leak (AL) after esophagectomy for esophageal adenocarcinoma.
Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected database from the McGill University Health Center. Included were all patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma who underwent esophagectomy between 2005 and 2016.
Objectives: Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been shown to be a promising biomarker in several cancers. Prognostic biomarkers are still needed to define good candidates for lung metastasectomy for colorectal cancer. We aimed to evaluate the role of NLR.

It is unknown whether AR can lead to better outcomes than can non-AR (NAR) in KRAS patients.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data from 574 consecutive patients who underwent a LM for CRC.
