Objective: To compare frequency of perinatal death between pregnant patients who completed the mRNA coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination series and unvaccinated patients.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 15,865 pregnant patients who delivered 16,132 newborns after 20 weeks of gestation within a large regional health system between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021. Patients who received two doses of mRNA vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech [BNT162b2] or Moderna [mRNA-1273]) were included in the vaccinated group and were compared with unvaccinated patients.

Background & Aims: The concept of benchmarking is established in the field of transplant surgery; however, benchmark values for donation after circulatory death (DCD) liver transplantation are not available. Thus, we aimed to identify the best possible outcomes in DCD liver transplantation and to propose outcome reference values.

Methods: Based on 2,219 controlled DCD liver transplantations, collected from 17 centres in North America and Europe, we identified 1,012 low-risk, primary, adult liver transplantations with a laboratory MELD score of ≤20 points, receiving a DCD liver with a total donor warm ischemia time of ≤30 minutes and asystolic donor warm ischemia time of ≤15 minutes.

Objectives: The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate the role of intraoperative crystalloid administration on postoperative hospital length of stay (phLOS) and on the incidence of previously reported adverse events in 100 consecutive patients who underwent esophageal resection.

Methods: The role of previously reported patient demographics, clinical characteristics, and intraoperative crystalloid administration on the duration of phLOS underwent statistical screening criteria for multivariable analysis, including the use of an instrumental variable to measure the role of unmeasured confounders on phLOS. Tests to assess the likelihood of causality also were performed.
