Objectives: To investigate the impact of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) on 30-day mortality following cardiac surgery and develop a machine learning model to predict SIRS.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Single tertiary care hospital.

Aim: This study aims to compare the efficacy of modified single-incision surgery with that of traditional modified Ravitch surgery for the repair of pectus excavatum in pediatric patients.
Methods: In this retrospective study, we included patients who underwent surgical correction for sternal depression from January 2015 to December 2020 across four major medical centers. Patients were categorized into two specific groups on the basis of the surgical technique employed: the modified single-incision surgery group, which comprised patients treated using the novel single-incision approach, and the traditional modified Ravitch surgery group, which included patients who received the conventional Ravitch surgery with multiple incisions.

Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). Electronic address:
Background: We hypothesised that the implementation of an electronic medical record (EMR) embedded perioperative clinical decision support (CDS) application, Anesthesia Testing Guidelines (ATG), would result in at least a 10% reduction of unnecessary perioperative testing in patients undergoing elective surgeries.
Methods: The development and implementation of ATG occurred in several phases: 1) team development, 2) development of an embedded EMR application, 3) creation of ATG training and education toolkit, and 4) implementation involving promoting ATG through training and education, addressing challenges, and monitoring compliance. The proportions of patients with any overutilisation across 19 perioperative tests were compared between the baseline cohort and the ATG implementation cohort.

Department of Geriatrics, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China; Department of National Clinical Research Center for Geriatrics, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China. Electronic address:
Background: Identifying patients at risk for postoperative pneumonia and preventing it in advance is crucial for improving the prognoses of patients undergoing surgery. This review aimed to interpret the predictive value of sarcopenia on postoperative pneumonia.
Methods: Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), Embase, Medline, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched from inception to August 2nd, 2023 to retrieve eligible studies.
