Global patient outcomes after elective surgery: Prospective cohort study in 27 low-, middle- and high-income countries

T. Ahmad, +2519 more
TL;DR: Despite lower baseline risk, outcomes were similar in low- and middle-income compared with high-income countries and should also address the need for safe perioperative care.
Journal ArticleDOI

High frequency of tumor‐infiltrating FOXP3+ regulatory T cells predicts improved survival in mismatch repair‐proficient colorectal cancer patients

TL;DR: High frequency of tumor‐infiltrating FOXP3+ Treg is associated with early T stage and independently predicts improved disease‐specific survival in MMR‐proficient CRC patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Factors Associated with Postoperative Pulmonary Morbidity After Esophagectomy for Cancer

TL;DR: Preoperative comorbidity and smoking were risk factors for respiratory complications, whereas neoadjuvant treatment was not, and MIE and the use of thoracic epidural analgesia decreased the risk of respiratory failure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Minimally invasive versus open esophagectomy for patients with esophageal cancer

TL;DR: Thoracic epidural analgesia in MIE reduced the risk of in-hospital death and should be considered for all patients undergoing esophagectomy.
Journal ArticleDOI

In-hospital delay increases the risk of perforation in adults with appendicitis

TL;DR: In-hospital delay negatively influences outcome after appendectomy, and age over 65 years, time of admission during regular hours, and the presence of co-morbidity are all independent risk factors for perforation.
