Aim: In recent years, the majority of patients eligible for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) have been aged ≥75 years. We investigated ERCP safety in very elderly patients (aged ≥90 years).
Methods: We included patients aged ≥75 years who underwent ERCP between January 2015 and December 2020. We compared background factors, comorbidities, ERCP indications, complications, and outcomes and identified risk factors for complications using binary logistic regression and inverse probability of treatment weighting with propensity scores.
Results: The study included 1344 patients aged ≥75 years (137 and 1207 very elderly and elderly patients, respectively). The very elderly group had more women, less frequent diabetes, fewer antithrombotic medications, more frequent parapapillary diverticulum, less frequent post-cholecystectomy, and worse performance status. No significant differences were observed in the ERCP indications. Experienced endoscopists were likely to perform the procedure, and the procedure time was shorter for the very elderly. Complications occurred in 21 (15%) very elderly patients and 120 (10%) elderly patients, with no significant differences. The very elderly did not have an increased risk of complications but were less likely to be discharged home and had a significantly worse performance status at discharge.
Conclusions: ERCP could be safely performed in the very elderly, and age did not increase the risk of complications. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2024; ••: ••-••.

Assessing the use of the Index of Consciousness (IoC) as a monitoring tool for the sedative effects of ciprofol during general anesthesia induction: a prospective observational study.
Perioper Med (Lond)
January 2025
Department of Anesthesia, Characteristic Medical Center of Chinese People's Armed Police Force (PAP), Tianjin, China.
Background: We investigated the consistency and accuracy of the Index of Consciousness (IoC) and the Bispectral Index (BIS) in monitoring the sedative effect of ciprofol during the induction of general anesthesia. There is extensive literature that reports good consistency and correlations between the IoC1 and the BIS in reflecting the sedation levels induced by propofol and sevoflurane but not by ciprofol.
Objective: The aim was to compare the consistency and accuracy of the IoC and BIS in monitoring the sedative effect of ciprofol during the induction of general anesthesia.

Department of Neurology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College, Shantou, Guangdong, China.
Background: Triglyceride glucose index(TyG) and a body shape index(ABSI) are both independent predictor of stroke incidence or adverse prognosis but these two indicators seldom were combined to predict. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the combination of TyG and ABSI better predict the incidence of stroke.
Methods: Based on the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study(CHARLS), 8,257 people aged 45 years and older without stroke were enrolled and followed up to 9 years.

Background: Research has demonstrated that individuals with sarcopenia or sarcopenic obesity who experience fractures or undergo major surgical interventions exhibit a poorer prognosis compared to the general population. However, few studies have investigated the relationship between the skeletal muscle and adipose tissue indices, as measured at the 12th thoracic spine level, and adverse outcomes following orthopedic surgery. Therefore, this study aimed to prove whether skeletal muscle and adipose tissue index measured by computed tomography (CT) images based on a single layer are associated with one-year postoperative mortality in elderly hip fracture patients.
