Objective: To identify the risk factors for a 30-day postoperative surgical site hematoma requiring evacuation (POH) after surgical resection of brain metastases.

Methods: Patients who underwent surgical resection of brain metastases between 2011 and 2019 at our institution were included. Risk factors for a 30-day POH were identified using a multivariate logistic regression model.

Results: A total of 158 patients were included in the analysis. The mean (SD) age of the study population was 59.3 (12.0) years, and 82 (53.2%) patients were female. The incidence of a 30-day POH was 8.2% (13 patients). There was no statistically significant association between the occurrence of a 30-day POH and overall mortality (p = 0.100). On multivariate analysis, there was a statistically significant association between a 30-day POH and younger age (OR=0.91; 95% CI=0.83, 0.99; p = 0.035), higher BMI (OR=1.61; 95% CI=1.16, 2.46; p = 0.010), and blood type AB (OR=21.7; 95% CI=1.66, 522; p = 0.031). On receiver operating characteristic analysis, a threshold BMI of 25.1 kg/m and threshold age of 57 gave the optimum balance of sensitivity and specificity in predicting the occurrence of a 30-day POH.

Conclusions: Patients below 57 years old, who have a BMI of above 25, and/or have blood type AB were at higher risk of developing a 30-day POH after surgical resection of brain metastases. Additional care in intraoperative hemostasis and postoperative monitoring may be indicated among patients who have these risk factors.

Introduction Neck-of-femur (NOF) fractures have high prevalence rates and require prompt surgical intervention for better outcomes. Perioperative hypotension (POH) in the geriatric population has poor outcomes with several contributing factors. The study intends to explore these risk factors and their correlation with patient outcomes.

Adverse postoperative outcomes in elderly patients with sarcopenia.

BMC Geriatr

June 2024

Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine, Henan Provincial People's Hospital, People's Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, China.

Purpose: No study has compared 30-day and 90-day adverse postoperative outcomes between old-age patients with and those without sarcopenia.

Patients And Methods: We categorize elderly patients receiving major surgery into two groups according to the presence or absence of preoperative sarcopenia that were matched at a 1:4 ratio through propensity score matching (PSM). We analyzed 30-day or 90-day adverse postoperative outcomes and mortality in patients with and without sarcopenia receiving major surgery.

Aim: This cohort study aimed to explore the connection between postoperative hyperactive delirium and major complications in elderly patients undergoing emergency hip fracture surgery.

Methods: Elderly patients aged 65 years and older undergoing emergency hip fracture surgery were included in the study. The presence of postoperative hyperactive delirium was assessed, and logistic regression analysis, following propensity score matching, was conducted to investigate the association between postoperative hyperactive delirium and major complications occurring 30 and 90 days post-surgery.

Improved postoperative outcomes in pediatric major surgery: evidence from hospital volume analysis.

Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine, Henan Provincial People's Hospital, People's Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, Henan, China.

This study aimed to examine the association between hospital volume and postoperative outcomes in pediatric major surgery using a nationwide database. The study included pediatric patients who underwent first major elective inpatient surgery and hospitalization for more than 1 day. The results showed no significant difference in the risk of 30-day postoperative mortality based on hospital volume.

Background And Aims: Even though vegetation size in infective endocarditis (IE) has been associated with embolic events (EEs) and mortality risk, it is unclear whether vegetation size associated with these potential outcomes is different in left-sided IE (LSIE). This study aimed to seek assessing the vegetation cut-off size as predictor of EE or 30-day mortality for LSIE and to determine risk predictors of these outcomes.

Methods: The European Society of Cardiology EURObservational Research Programme European Infective Endocarditis is a prospective, multicentre registry including patients with definite or possible IE throughout 2016-18.
