Background/objective: The comprehensive complication index (CCI) was developed following the Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC) to more properly reflect various complications that occur in one patient. In this study, we performed a prospective observational study to validate the usefulness of CCI in a small-volume hospital.
Methods: From March 2017 to February 2018, among the patients who had scheduled surgery with general anesthesia in the Department of Surgery in St. Paul hospital in Korea, 240 patients were enrolled after informed consent. A minor-risk surgery, such as appendectomy, and surgery for inguinal hernia were excluded. The complications were estimated in both CDC and CCI in each patient. Patients were investigated with the EORCT-C30 quality of life questionnaire before and after surgery, and the relationship between CCI score and change in the quality of life was evaluated.
Results: There were 26 (10.83%), 41 (17.08%), 8 (3.33%), 3 (1.25%), 4 (1.67%), and 2 (0.83%) patients who were classified as grades I, II, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, and IVb, respectively. The average CCI was 22.94 ± 12.79, and distribution ranged from 8.66 to 76.40. CCI was well distributed in patients with complications more than CDC grade. While there was no correlation between preoperative Charlson comorbidity index with CCI, pain scale, and cognitive scale were aggravated significantly when CCI increased.
Conclusion: CCI reflected the complication status with a more detailed distribution compared with CDC. Moreover, CCI had a significant relation with pain and the cognitive function scale. CCI might be a useful complication grading system in a small-volume surgical department.

Purpose: The Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study is the largest longitudinal study on brain development and adolescent health in the United States. The study includes a sociodemographically diverse cohort of nearly 12,000 youth born 2005-2009, with an open science model of making data rapidly available to the scientific community. The ABCD Study® data has been used in over 1100 peer-reviewed publications since its first data release in 2018.

Introduction: Gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) is a cornerstone of gender-affirming care for transgender and gender diverse (TGD) patients, with a direct biological role on bone metabolism. However, a paucity of data describes how GAHT influences fracture rate over time. The study's primary objective was to describe the 5-year all-cause fracture incidence rate (IR) among TGD patients initiating estrogen-based GAHT (E-GAHT) or testosterone-based GAHT (T-GAHT), compared with TGD patients not using GAHT (non-GAHT).

Purpose: Cognitive-communication intervention (CCI) service gaps compromise quality of life for individuals with acquired brain injuries. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) must examine barriers to care and develop solutions to address current problems in awareness of cognitive-communication disorders, understanding of SLP services, access and referral mechanisms, and care pathways. They must also adapt CCI to the complexities and constraints of daily life.

Background: Neuropathic pain (NeP) presents considerable challenges in terms of effective management and significantly impacts the quality of life for affected patients. The current treatment options for NeP are limited, highlighting the need for alternative therapeutic approaches. Dahuang Fuzi Decoction (DF), a formula from traditional Chinese medicine, has shown potential in relieving pain symptoms associated with various types of NeP.
