Hand-drawn Symbol Recognition of Surgical Flowsheet Graphs with Deep Image Segmentation [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
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

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 ...

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 ...

Effects of an increase in emergency cases with difficulties in transport to hospital during the COVID‐19 pandemic on postoperative short‐term outcomes of colorectal perforation: A study based on the National Clinical Database

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In 2022, emergency cases with difficulties in transport markedly increased during the COVID‐19 pandemic, but had little effect on short‐term outcomes of colorectal perforation. These data suggest that the emergency system for patients with colorectal perforation was largely maintained during the pandemic in Japan, with no evidence indicating a serious ...

Real-world Deployment and Evaluation of PErioperative AI CHatbot (PEACH) -- a Large Language Model Chatbot for Perioperative Medicine [PDF]

arXiv
Large Language Models (LLMs) are emerging as powerful tools in healthcare, particularly for complex, domain-specific tasks. This study describes the development and evaluation of the PErioperative AI CHatbot (PEACH), a secure LLM-based system integrated with local perioperative guidelines to support preoperative clinical decision-making.
