The perioperative management of biliary disease (BD) is variable across institutions with suboptimal outcomes for patients and health care systems. This results in inefficient utilization of limited r...
Data were prospectively captured at Christchurch Hospital for all adult patients presenting for cholecystectomy between May 2015 and May 2022. Pre, post, and intraoperative factors were assessed for t...
Four thousand five hundred seventy-seven patients underwent cholecystectomy during the study period, of which 2807 (61%) were acute presentations and made up the cohort for analysis. Time to theater w...
Standardizing management of BD would likely result in significant savings for the health care system and improved outcomes for patients. The data seen here evidence the importance of appropriate imagi...
Acute kidney injury (AKI), which is a common complication of acute illnesses, affects the health of individuals in community, acute care and post-acute care settings. Although the recognition, prevent...
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), whether Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC), have an increased risk of acute pancreatitis. The prognostic value of diagnosing acute idiopath...
A retrospective review of 56 patients with IBD and acute pancreatitis was conducted in a tertiary center from 2011 to 2020. Aggressive disease course was defined as (i)biologic change, (ii)biologic do...
Baseline characteristics between idiopathic pancreatitis and other causes of acute pancreatitis, in both CD and UC cohorts, were similar. Idiopathic pancreatitis was significantly associated with an a...
The diagnosis of acute idiopathic pancreatitis may provide a prognostic indicator of a more severe disease course in CD. No such association appears to exist with UC. To the best of our knowledge, thi...
Micronutrients (MN), i.e. trace elements and vitamins, are essential components of the diet in relatively small amounts in any form of nutrition, with special needs in critically ill patients. Critica...
Acute gastrointestinal graft versus host disease (GI-GVHD) is a common complication following allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), and is characterised by severe morbidity, frequent t...
Congenital heart disease (CHD) care has evolved during the past decades. Advances in care have contributed to improved survival among CHD patients. Children with CHD are requiring interventions for no...
A retrospective review of the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) database from January 1, 2004, to July 31, 2023. Discharges of patients with an admitting/principal diagnosis of appendicitis w...
A total of 319,228 patients were identified with 1,25,858(39.4%) female, 1,38,966(43.5%) white, and median age of 11[IQR:8-14] years. 708(0.2%) had CHD with 85(12%) of them having a diagnosis consiste...
CHD patients are more likely to have an open appendectomy than non-CHD patients. These findings suggest a distinctive pattern in the care of CHD patients compared to non-CHD. Overall, CHD patients had...
Acute limb ischemia is a rare but serious condition that carries with it a high rate of morbidity and mortality....
This review highlights the pearls and pitfalls of acute limb ischemia, including presentation, diagnosis, and management in the emergency department (ED) based on current evidence....
Acute limb ischemia is defined as a sudden decrease in limb perfusion resulting in cessation of blood flow and nutrient and oxygen delivery to the tissues. This leads to cellular injury and necrosis, ...
An understanding of acute limb ischemia can assist emergency clinicians in diagnosing and managing this potentially deadly disease....
Several pieces of evidence point to an allergic component as a trigger of acute appendicitis. As the Th2 immune response is characterized by eosinophil mobilization to the target organ and release of ...
Despite advances in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) remains its leading complication, yet with heterogeneous outcomes. Here, we analyzed aGVHD ph...
Acute kidney disease (AKD) is believed to be involved in the transition from acute kidney injury (AKI) to chronic kidney disease in general populations, but little is understood about this possibility...
From January 2010 to January 2020, this study retrospectively collected a dataset of consecutive patients with renal masses undergoing partial nephrectomy in 4 urological centers. Cox proportional reg...
AKI and AKD occurred in 228 (21.4%) and 42 (3.9%) patients among a total of 1062 patients, respectively. In patients with AKI, multivariable Cox regression analysis and LASSO regression identified tha...
Around 3.9% patients following partial nephrectomy would transit from AKI to AKD. Intraoperative blood loss and ischemia time need to be diminished to avoid on-going functional decline. Our nomogram c...
