Article Abstract

Background: Various predictive scoring systems have been developed to estimate outcomes of patients undergoing surgery for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). However, data regarding their effectiveness in recurrent CRLM (recCRLM) are very limited.

Methods: Patients who underwent repeat hepatectomy for recCRLM at the University Hospital RWTH Aachen, Germany from 2010 to 2021 were included. Nine predictive scoring systems (Fong's, Nordlinger, Nagashima, RAS mutation, Tumor Burden, GAME, CERR, and Glasgow Prognostic score, Basingstoke Index) were evaluated by likelihood ratio (LR) χ, linear trend (LT) χ and Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) for their predictive value regarding overall survival (OS) and recurrence free survival (RFS).

Results: Among 150 patients, median RFS was 9 (2-124) months with a 5-year RFS rate of 10%. Median OS was 39 (4-131) months with a 5-year OS rate of 32%. For RFS and OS, the Nagashima score showed the best prognostic ability (LT χ 3.00, LR χ 9.39, AIC 266.66 and LT χ 2.91, LR χ 20.91, 290.36).

Discussion: The Nagashima score showed the best prognostic stratification to predict recurrence as well as survival, and therefore might be considered when evaluating patients with recCRLM for repeat hepatectomy.

Background: Cardio-kidney-metabolic (CKM) disease represents a significant public health challenge. While proteomics-based risk scores (ProtRS) enhance cardiovascular risk prediction, their utility in improving risk prediction for a composite CKM outcome beyond traditional risk factors remains unknown.

Methods: We analyzed 23 815 UK Biobank participants without baseline CKM disease, defined by -Tenth Revision codes as cardiovascular disease (coronary artery disease, heart failure, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, atrial fibrillation/flutter), kidney disease (chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease), or metabolic disease (type 2 diabetes or obesity).

Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility of abbreviated liver magnetic resonance imaging (AMRI) with a second-shot arterial phase (SSAP) image for the viability of treated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after non-radiation locoregional therapy (LRT).

Methods: We retrospectively enrolled patients with non-radiation LRT for HCC who underwent the modified gadoxetic acid-enhanced liver MRI protocol, which includes routine dynamic and SSAP imaging after the first and second injection of gadoxetic acid, respectively (6 mL and 4 mL, respectively), and an available reference standard for tumor viability in the treated HCC between March 2021 and February 2022. Two radiologists independently reviewed the full-protocol MRI (FP-MRI) and AMRI with SSAP.

Background: Respiratory infections significantly impact older adults in Latin America, highlighting the need for regionally adapted consensus-based vaccination recommendations to guide preventive strategies. This study aimed to develop a consensus among Latin American experts on vaccination against respiratory diseases in older adults in the region, including influenza, Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia, COVID-19, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and pertussis.

Methods: A two-round Delphi methodology was employed, involving 35 specialists from various medical fields.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the predictive accuracy of Paediatric Risk of Mortality-III, Paediatric Index of Mortality-II, and Paediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction scoring systems for major adverse events following congenital heart surgery.

Methods: This prospective observational study included patients under 18 years of age who were admitted to the ICU for at least 24 hours postoperatively following congenital heart surgery. Major adverse events were defined as a composite of 30-day mortality, ICU readmission, reintubation, acute neurologic events, requirement for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, cardiac arrest requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation, need for a permanent pacemaker, acute kidney injury, or unplanned reoperation.
