Introduction: Patients who have poorly controlled diabetes mellitus are at increased risk of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Nevertheless, an optimal preoperative hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) threshold has not been established. This study sought to identify preoperative HbA1c thresholds that were predictive of adverse outcomes for total hip (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients.

Background: The integration of procedure-specific risks into preoperative patient assessment and optimization are crucial aspects of perioperative care. However, data on internists' knowledge of surgical and anesthetic principles and practices are limited. We thus sought to identify internists' knowledge gaps in terms of surgical- and anesthetic-specific risk factors and characteristics.

Sleeve gastrectomy with proximal jejunal bypass (SG with PJB) is often preferred for patients with higher body mass index (BMI) and inadequate glycemic control. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of SG and SG with PJB, focusing on glycemic control and BMI in prediabetic and diabetic patients. Preoperative analysis revealed differences in age and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels between groups: SG with PJB patients were older (38.

The effectiveness of bariatric surgery in reducing remnant cholesterol (RC) levels, particularly when obesity is accompanied by elevated glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), is insufficiently investigated. In this study, we aimed to examine the impacts of two common bariatric procedures, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG), as regards their effects on RC and HbA1c levels. Adult morbidly obese subjects were included and assigned to receive either RYGB or SG.

Background: Irrespective of baseline diabetes status, preoperative hemoglobin A1c (A1C) influences perioperative care in patients undergoing metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). Accordingly, the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) endorses that patients undergoing MBS should receive a preoperative A1C test. We aimed to assess the proportion of MBS patients who received a preoperative A1C test and determine whether baseline diabetes status influences receipt of a test.
