Journal ArticleDOI
International consensus on standardization of data collection for complications associated with esophagectomy: Esophagectomy Complications Consensus Group (ECCG)
Donald E. Low,Derek Alderson,Ivan Cecconello,Andrew C. Chang,Gail Darling,Xavier Benoit D’Journo,S. Michael Griffin,Arnulf H. Hölscher,Wayne L. Hofstetter,Blair A. Jobe,Yuko Kitagawa,John C. Kucharczuk,Simon Law,Toni Lerut,Nick Maynard,M. Pera,Jeffrey H. Peters,C S Pramesh,John V. Reynolds,B. Mark Smithers,J. Jan B. van Lanschot +20 more
TL;DR: The proposed system for defining and recording perioperative complications associated with esophagectomy provides an infrastructure to standardize international data collection and facilitate future comparative studies and quality improvement projects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benchmarking Complications Associated with Esophagectomy.
Donald E. Low,Madhan Kumar Kuppusamy,Derek Alderson,Ivan Cecconello,Andrew C. Chang,Gail Darling,Andrew Davies,Xavier Benoit D’Journo,Suzanne S. Gisbertz,S. Michael Griffin,Richard H. Hardwick,Arnulf H. Hoelscher,Wayne L. Hofstetter,Blair A. Jobe,Yuko Kitagawa,Simon Law,Christophe Mariette,Nick Maynard,Christopher R. Morse,Philippe Nafteux,Manuel Pera,C S Pramesh,Sonia Puig,John V. Reynolds,Wolfgang Schroeder,Mark Smithers,Bas P. L. Wijnhoven +26 more
TL;DR: Standardized methods provide contemporary international benchmarks for reporting outcomes after esophagectomy, using a standardized dataset with specific definitions to prospectively collect international data to provide a benchmark for complications and outcomes associated with esphagectomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The gastroesophageal flap valve: in vitro and in vivo observations.
Lucius D. Hill,Richard A. Kozarek,Stefan J. M. Kraemer,Ralph W. Aye,C. Dale Mercer,Donald E. Low,Charles E. Pope +6 more
TL;DR: The appearance of the flap valve was a better predictor of the presence or absence of reflux than was lower esophageal sphincter pressure and endoscopic viewing of the valve during surgery can confirm that a competent valve has been reconstructed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Guidelines for Perioperative Care in Esophagectomy: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS ® ) Society Recommendations.
Donald E. Low,William H. Allum,Giovanni de Manzoni,Lorenzo E. Ferri,Arul Immanuel,Madhan Kumar Kuppusamy,Simon Law,Mats Lindblad,Nick Maynard,Joseph M. Neal,C S Pramesh,Michael J. Scott,B. Mark Smithers,Valérie Addor,Olle Ljungqvist +14 more
TL;DR: The current ERAS society guidelines should be reviewed and applied in all centers looking to improve outcomes and quality associated with esophageal resection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic therapy of community respiratory tract infections: strategies for optimal outcomes and minimized resistance emergence
P. Ball,Fernando Baquero,O. Cars,Thomas M. File,Javier Garau,Keith P. Klugman,Donald E. Low,Ethan Rubinstein,Richard Wise +8 more
TL;DR: Prescribing should be based on pharmacodynamic principles that predict efficacy, bacterial eradication and prevention of resistance emergence, and Pharmacoeconomic analyses confirm that bacteriologically more effective antibiotics can reduce overall management costs, particularly with respect to consequential morbidity and hospital admission.
