Surgical Resection for Colorectal Liver Metastasis in Elderly Patients Aged ≥ 80: A Retrospective Nationwide Cohort Survey in Japan With Propensity Score Matching

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Surgical resection for CRLM seems to be as effective in elderly patients aged ≥ 80 as in nonelderly patients. However, elderly patients aged ≥ 80 had significantly worse cancer‐specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS). The significantly worse CSS and OS may have resulted from a lower rate of treatment for recurrence in elderly patients aged ...

Age and Regional Trends in Groin Hernia Surgery in Japan: An Analysis of Laparoscopic Repair, Outpatient Surgery, and Manual Reduction Using National Database Open Data

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Using National Database open data from 2014 to 2023, this nationwide study visualizes age‐, sex‐, and region‐specific trends in groin hernia surgery in Japan. Laparoscopic surgery, outpatient surgery, and manual reduction were analyzed to estimate lifetime surgical burden and patterns of emergency‐related healthcare utilization at the population level.

Contemporary Regional Disparities in Robotic‐Assisted Rectal Resection in Japan: A Nationwide Population‐Based Study Using the National Database Open Data

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Robotic‐assisted rectal resection in Japan increased markedly after national insurance reimbursement in 2018, with a concurrent decline in open surgery. Using NDB Open Data, we found substantial inter‐prefectural heterogeneity in surgical volume and robotic utilization that persisted after age and sex standardization (SCR). Urban–rural differences were

Gaussian Process Regression–Neural Network Hybrid with Optimized Redundant Coordinates: A New Simple Yet Potent Tool for Scientist's Machine Learning Toolbox

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
A machine learning method, opt‐GPRNN, is presented that combines the advantages of neural networks and kernel regressions. It is based on additive GPR in optimized redundant coordinates and allows building a representation of the target with a small number of terms while avoiding overfitting when the number of terms is larger than optimal.
