The Swedish Perioperative Registry (SPOR) offers a unique opportunity for monitoring the peri- and early postoperative processes. It can be utilized for quality monitoring within individual clinics or for epidemiological studies. Combining SPOR's data with organ-specific registries provides a more comprehensive understanding of the overall peri- and early postoperative care and outcomes of surgical procedures. In our example, we present the expected patient profile for gall bladder surgery in Sweden. Inhalation anesthesia is the dominant technique, but Total Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA) is showing an increasing trend in usage. There are minimal differences between the techniques in terms of early complications, with a mere 8-minute variation in recovery time. The mortality rate for cholecystectomy in Sweden is reassuringly low, with 0.02% of patients passing away within 24 hours and a 30-day mortality rate of 0.13%. As expected, advancing age and higher ASA class increase the risk of mortality within 30 days. Additionally, there is a clear area for improvement identified in increasing the utilization of LÖF's Safe Surgery Checklist.

Introduction: With aging populations, the prevalence of dementia, frailty and malnutrition will increase. The aim of this study is twofold (a) to determine the demographic data, including frailty and malnutrition prevalence in older patients with diagnosis of dementia and/or cognitive impairment and (b) to determine its impact on outcomes such as length of stay (LOS), readmission and mortality stratified by frailty status.
Methods: Retrospective single-center cohort study conducted using hospital database on older patients ≥65 yrs.

Background: Even with adherence to thromboprophylaxis recommended by guidelines, the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) remains high among patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia (SCAP). There is an urgent need to identify the risk factors for DVT in these patients to optimize preventive strategies.
Study Design And Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 309 adults with SCAP admitted to Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital between 1 January 2015 and 30 June 2023.
