Objective: This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of early postoperative complications of radical cystectomy, using standardized reporting methodology to assess perioperative characteristics and determine risk factors for major complications.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective study included 254 consecutive bladder cancer patients undergoing RC between 2012 and 2020 at a urological cancer referral center. Postoperative complications within 30 days were recorded and graded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC). The study examined risk factors, including novel inflammatory-nutrition biomarkers and perioperative serum chloride.
Results: Total complications were observed in 135 (53 %). Of these, 47 (18.5 %) were high grade (CDC ≥ 3). Wound dehiscence was the most common complication, occurring in 14 (5.5 %) patients. Independent risk factors for major complications included an age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (ACCI) > 4 and thrombocytopenia (odds ratio [OR] 3.67 and OR 8.69). Preoperative platelet counts < 220,000/μL and albumin < 3 mg/dL were independent risk factors for wound dehiscence (OR 3.91 and OR 4.72). Additionally, postoperative hypochloremia was a risk factor for major complications (OR 13.71), while novel serum biomarkers such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI), and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) were not associated with early major complications.
Conclusion: Patients who have multiple comorbidities are at a greater risk of developing major complications after undergoing RC. Our result suggests that preoperative platelet counts and serum albumin levels are associated with wound dehiscence.

Effect of early administration of fibrinogen replacement therapy in traumatic haemorrhage: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials with narrative synthesis of observational studies.

Centre for Trauma Sciences, Blizard Institute, Queen Mary University of London, London, England.
Background: In severely injured trauma patients, hypofibrinoginaemia is associated with increased mortality. There is no evidence-based consensus for what constitutes optimal fibrinogen therapy, treatment dose or timing of administration. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effects of early fibrinogen replacement, either cryoprecipitate or fibrinogen concentrate (FgC) on mortality, transfusion requirements and deep venous thrombosis (DVT).

Introduction: Several adverse drug reactions (ADRs) go unreported within a healthcare setting despite the risks they cause. We therefore decided to conduct this study in order to recognize the obstacles that hinder the healthcare professionals (HCPs) in a tertiary care hospital in Kattankulathur, Tamil Nadu from reporting ADRs and what strategies ought to be implemented.
Methods: We carried out a cross-sectional study among the HCPs such as doctors, pharmacists and nurses within our institution.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the major predictive factors associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation(PMV) following cardiac surgery.
Methods: This retrospective, cross-sectional, descriptive-analytical study was conducted from September 2021 to March 2022, involving 244 patients who underwent cardiac surgery. PMV was defined as mechanical ventilation for more than 24 h.

Purpose: To investigate the risk factors for late postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), with a focus on positive drain fluid culture (DFC) results on postoperative day (POD) 1.
Methods: Medical records of 198 patients who underwent PD with drain fluid amylase (DFA) on POD 5 < 3x upper limit of normal (ULN) were included. Late POPF was defined as POPF diagnosed post-POD 6, with DFA on POD 5 < 3xULN.

Purpose: Oncological esophagectomy is the mainstay in esophageal cancer treatment, but perioperative mortality remains a significant concern. Various scoring systems exist to identify patients at high risk for postoperative complications and death. In the following, we aim to evaluate and compare these different scoring systems.
