Journal ArticleDOI
Postoperative pulmonary embolism after hospital discharge. An underestimated risk.
TL;DR: The rate of postoperative PE increased by 30% when PEs occurring within 30 days of hospital discharge were considered, and this provides a useful basis for prolonged prophylactic measures after hospital stay.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute pancreatitis and normoamylasemia. Not an uncommon combination.
Pierre-Alain Clavien,John Robert,P. Meyer,François Borst,Herman Hauser,François Herrmann,Viviane Dunand,Adrien Rohner +7 more
TL;DR: AP does not appear to behave differently when serum amylase is normal or elevated, and should therefore be submitted to similar therapeutic regimens in both conditions, although there was a tendency for normoamylasemic patients to follow milder courses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Didier Pittet,Edith Safran,Stéphan Juergen Harbarth,François Borst,P. Copin,Peter Rohner,Jean-Raoul Scherrer,Raymond Auckenthaler +7 more

Recent results of elective open cholecystectomy in a North American and a European center. Comparison of complications and risk factors.
Pierre-Alain Clavien,Juan Ramon Sanabria,Gilles Mentha,François Borst,Leo Buhler,Bruno Roche,Robert Cywes,Robert Tibshirani,Adrien Rohner,Steven M. Strasberg,Steven M. Strasberg +10 more
TL;DR: Elective open cholecystectomy is a safe procedure, particularly in terms of highly morbid complications and death, and the data demonstrate the advantages of a uniform way of reporting surgical complications, which may permit meaningful comparisons among centers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hospital-acquired pressure ulcers: risk factors and use of preventive devices.
TL;DR: Pressure ulcers were seen in every 10th hospitalized adult and patient age and Norton score were the strongest risk factors for pressure ulcers, and adjustment for case mix is essential if pressure ulcer incidence is to be used as an indicator of quality of care.
