Background: Patients with cerebrovascular accident (CVA) should be involved in setting their rehabilitation goals. A personalized prediction of CVA outcomes would allow care professionals to better inform patients and informal caregivers. Several accurate prediction models have been created, but acceptance and proper implementation of the models are prerequisites for model adoption.

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered safe; however, it is not free from complications, such as bile duct injuries, bleeding, and infection of the surgical site.
Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of two prediction tools, the American College of Surgeons-National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) calculator and the surgical Apgar, in predicting post-cholecystectomy complications.
Methods: A cross-sectional, analytical, and comparative study was conducted on patients over 18 years old diagnosed with acute cholecystitis who underwent open or laparoscopic cholecystectomy at the Regional Teaching Hospital of Trujillo between 2015 and 2019.

Background: Rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) is widely used for point-of-care coagulation testing to reduce blood transfusions. Accurate interpretation of ROTEM data is crucial and requires substantial training. This study investigates the inter- and intrarater reliability of ROTEM interpretation among experts and compares their interpretations with a ROTEM-guided algorithm.
