PURPOSE After curative resection, the prognosis of gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma is poor. This phase III trial was designed to evaluate the benefit in overall survival (OS) of perioperative fluorouracil plus cisplatin in resectable gastroesophageal ...

Perioperative Acute Kidney Injury.
Perioperative organ injury is among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality of surgical patients. Among different types of perioperative organ injury, acute kidney injury occurs particularly frequently and has an exceptionally detrimental effect on

Deep Learning Approach for Predicting 30 Day Readmissions after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery [PDF]
Hospital Readmissions within 30 days after discharge following Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Surgery are substantial contributors to healthcare costs. Many predictive models were developed to identify risk factors for readmissions. However, majority of the existing models use statistical analysis techniques with data available at discharge.

Hand-drawn Symbol Recognition of Surgical Flowsheet Graphs with Deep Image Segmentation [PDF]
Perioperative data are essential to investigating the causes of adverse surgical outcomes. In some low to middle income countries, these data are computationally inaccessible due to a lack of digitization of surgical flowsheets. In this paper, we present a deep image segmentation approach using a U-Net architecture that can detect hand-drawn symbols on

Measurement of Individual Alteration in Perioperative ECGs During Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention [PDF]
The increasing availability of wearable electrocardiography (ECG) devices enables the continuous monitoring of individual ECG alterations. This could be beneficial for patients suffering from acute ischemia but with non-standard ECG findings that do not fit to the subject-independent and absolute thresholds defined in clinical guidelines. In this work,

Intelligent Perioperative System: Towards Real-time Big Data Analytics in Surgery Risk Assessment [PDF]
Surgery risk assessment is an effective tool for physicians to manage the treatment of patients, but most current research projects fall short in providing a comprehensive platform to evaluate the patients' surgery risk in terms of different complications.

On the Importance of Diversity in Re-Sampling for Imbalanced Data and Rare Events in Mortality Risk Models [PDF]
Surgical risk increases significantly when patients present with comorbid conditions. This has resulted in the creation of numerous risk stratification tools with the objective of formulating associated surgical risk to assist both surgeons and patients in decision-making.

Background: Older patients commonly receive benzodiazepines during anaesthesia despite guidelines recommending avoidance. Interventions to reduce perioperative benzodiazepine use are not well studied.

Reduction of breast cancer relapses with perioperative non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: new findings and a review [PDF]
To explain a bimodal pattern of hazard of relapse among early stage breast cancer patients identified in multiple databases, we proposed that late relapses result from steady stochastic progressions from single dormant malignant cells to avascular micrometastases and then on to growing deposits.

Effects of oral care on perioperative pediatric cancer patients
Objective: Problems faced by pediatric and adult cancer patients differ, as the former include late-stage complications and development/educational issues derived from a longer course of disease after treatment. Oral care, aiming to enhance patients’ QOL,
