How to Assess the Impact of Quality and Patient Safety Interventions with Routinely Collected Longitudinal Data [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Measuring the effect of patient safety improvement efforts is needed to determine their value but is difficult due to the inherent complexities of hospital operations. In this paper, we show by case study how interrupted time series design can be used to isolate and measure the impact of interventions while accounting for confounders often present in ...

Dynamic Predictions of Postoperative Complications from Explainable, Uncertainty-Aware, and Multi-Task Deep Neural Networks [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Accurate prediction of postoperative complications can inform shared decisions regarding prognosis, preoperative risk-reduction, and postoperative resource use. We hypothesized that multi-task deep learning models would outperform random forest models in predicting postoperative complications, and that integrating high-resolution intraoperative ...

Postoperative hyperlactataemia and preoperative cardiopulmonary exercise testing in an elective noncardiac surgical cohort: a retrospective observational study

BJA Open, 2023
Background: Blood lactate concentration in the postoperative period is a marker of physiological stress and a predictor of complications and mortality. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a common preoperative risk stratification tool. We aimed to

An EAACI position paper on the investigation of perioperative immediate hypersensitivity reactions

Allergy. European Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2019
Perioperative immediate hypersensitivity reactions are rare. Subsequent allergy investigation is complicated by multiple simultaneous drug exposures, the use of drugs with potent effects and the many differential diagnoses to hypersensitivity in the ...

Effect of autonomic nervous system resection extent on urinary dysfunction in robotic rectal cancer surgery

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In rectal cancer surgery, this study examined the risk factors for urinary dysfunction and the effect of autonomic nervous system resection extent on urinary dysfunction. Autonomic nervous system resection and lateral lymph node dissection were independent risk factors for urinary dysfunction.

Updated risk prediction model for pancreaticoduodenectomy using data from the National Clinical Database in Japan

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The calibration plots of the updated risk models for the endpoints were analyzed in each cohort. The predicted probability of each endpoint matched the observed probability in the development and validation cohorts. Abstract Aim Risk prediction models for mortality, severe postoperative complications, and postoperative pancreatic fistula in patients ...

Three timepoint perioperative CEA levels are a prognostic factor for recurrence after adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with Stage II and III colorectal cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the three timepoint perioperative CEA (ttpCEA) calculated at three timepoints and recurrence during the perioperative period in Stage II and III colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. A total of 538 patients were included for the training data and 329 patients for validation data, and 5‐y time‐to ...

Addressing researcher degrees of freedom through minP adjustment [PDF]

BMC Med Res Methodol 24, 152 (2024)
When different researchers study the same research question using the same dataset they may obtain different and potentially even conflicting results. This is because there is often substantial flexibility in researchers' analytical choices, an issue also referred to as ''researcher degrees of freedom''.
