Nationwide Real‐World Modeling of Surgical Outcomes in Elderly Patients: Incorporating Geriatric‐Specific Risk Factors Into Prediction of Mortality and Morbidity

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
A reliable and effective risk prediction model for mortality and morbidity in elderly patients undergoing gastroenterological surgeries was developed and validated. Geriatric‐specific risk factors, including the newly added variables in the NCD registry, along with age, were identified as significant contributors to the model. ABSTRACT Aim As the aging

The National Clinical Database Risk Calculator and the 5‐Item Modified Frailty Index Predict the Development of Postoperative Delirium After Surgery for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that combining the NCD Risk Calculator with the mFI‐5 enables more precise stratification of postoperative delirium risk in patients undergoing surgery for HCC. Patients classified as high risk by the combined model showed a markedly higher incidence of delirium than those in the intermediate‐ and low‐risk groups.

Differential Prognostic Impact of Prior Cholecystectomy Between Proximal and Distal Colorectal Cancer: A 12‐Year Retrospective Cohort Study of 3487 Consecutive Patients

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In this retrospective cohort of 3487 patients with CRC, history of CCY was associated with significantly worse prognosis in patients with proximal CRC but not in those with distal CRC. This differential prognostic impact showed a statistically significant interaction between tumor location and history of CCY and remained robust after PSM.
