Background/purpose: The early progression of disease (POD) of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) leads to a poor prognosis. To identify risk factors for early POD, this retrospective two-center cohort analysis was conducted.
Methods: Medical records of HL patients between 1998 and 2020 from two referral centers were reviewed.
Results: Two-hundred and sixty-nine patients were analyzed. The distribution of early vs. advanced stages was 51.1 vs. 48.9%, respectively. The 5-year progression free survival (PFS) was 63%, and the overall survival (OS) was 87% with a median follow-up of 52.0 months. The complete remission (CR) rate was 85.7%. Disease progression or relapsed disease occurred in 33.9% (n = 85) of patients while 17.0% of this cohort had early POD within 12 months of induction therapy. Patients with early POD had a worse median OS than those without (p < 0.001). Failure to achieve post-induction CR and high international prognostic score (IPS, 3-7) were independent risk factors for early POD. Compared with chemotherapy alone, consolidative radiotherapy after induction chemotherapy was associated with a lower risk of early POD (21.3% vs. 6.2%, p = 0.006).
Conclusion: High IPS was an independent risk factor for early POD, which was less observed in those with consolidative radiotherapy.

Rapid-recovery protocol for minimally invasive mitral valve repair.
JTCVS Open

Department of Cardiac Sciences, Libin Cardiovascular Institute, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Background: Minimally invasive mitral valve repair (MIMVR), often performed within specialized care pathways, has been shown to reduce hospital length of stay and improve patient recovery. The relative value of rapid-recovery protocols as a component of care pathways, including enhanced recovery programs (ERPs), has not been well described. This study compared clinical outcomes following implementation of a new, comprehensive rapid-recovery protocol within a previously established, mature ERP for patients undergoing MIMVR.

Background Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common and debilitating complication in elderly hip fracture patients, associated with significant clinical and functional consequences. Early identification of risk factors, such as cognitive impairment and vitamin D deficiency, is essential to mitigate its impact. However, preoperative screening practices are often inconsistent.

Objective: Right ventricular failure is a leading cause of mortality among patients with various etiologies of cardiogenic shock. This case series outlines an innovative approach to directly unloading the right ventricle with the Impella LD or 5.5 without crossing the tricuspid valve in cases requiring tricuspid valve repair or replacement.

Background: Application of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways in robotic lobectomy have been associated with decreased length of stay (LOS). We evaluated differences in patient characteristics and achievements of ERAS benchmarks by discharge groups at a tertiary referral center.
Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained ERAS database of patients undergoing robotic lobectomy for pulmonary malignancy.
