The Diagnosis of Acute Mesenteric Ischemia: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

TL;DR: Only CT angiography had adequate accuracy to establish the diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia in lieu of laparotomy, and signs, symptoms, and laboratory testing are insufficiently diagnostic for the condition.

Comparison of open and endovascular treatment of acute mesenteric ischemia.

TL;DR: Endovascular intervention for AMI had increased significantly in the modern era and among AMI patients undergoing revascularization, endovascular treatment was associated with decreased mortality and shorter length of stay and further research is warranted to determine if increased use of endov vascular repair could improve overall and gastrointestinal outcomes.

Evaluating the yield of medical tests

TL;DR: The treadmill exercise test is shown to provide surprisingly little prognostic information beyond that obtained from basic clinical measurements.

Assessing the calibration of mortality benchmarks in critical care: The Hosmer-Lemeshow test revisited.

TL;DR: Caution should be used in interpreting the calibration of predictive models developed using a smaller data set when applied to larger numbers of patients, and decisions concerning a mortality model's suitability should include the Hosmer-Lemeshow test.

The National Veterans Administration Surgical Risk Study: risk adjustment for the comparative assessment of the quality of surgical care.

TL;DR: The Veterans Health Administration has successfully implemented an outcome reporting system for major surgery that prospectively collects patient risk and outcome information reliably and validly.

Development and Validation of a Risk Calculator for Prediction of Cardiac Risk After Surgery

TL;DR: The cardiac risk calculator provides a risk estimate of perioperative myocardial infarction or cardiac arrest and is anticipated to simplify the informed consent process and its predictive performance surpasses that of the Revised Cardiac Risk Index.
