Background: Despite growing adoption of distal transradial approach (dTRA), data on same-day discharge with protamine-assisted hemostasis following coronary angiography (CAG) remain limited. This pilot study investigated its safety and feasibility.
Methods: From January 2022 to September 2024, a total of 34 patients who were discharged on the same-day after elective CAG via dTRA in our center were included, as well as 34 matched patients who underwent CAG via standard transradial approach (sTRA) during the same period. Protamine was administrated after CAG in the dTRA group. Multivariable regression models were conducted to analyses the correlation between different radial artery accesses and clinical variables. The primary endpoint was time to hemostasis, and secondary endpoints were costs and procedure duration. The safety endpoints were the incidences of bleeding-related complications.
Results: All patients underwent CAG with successful insertion of a 6 F sheath in both groups. The number of punctures and puncture duration were similar between the two groups. Compared with the sTRA group, the dTRA group had a significantly shorter hemostasis time (1.3 h vs. 5.9 h, p < 0.001) and a lower hospital cost (12.8 vs. 14.6 (CNY × 10³), p = 0.020). Procedure duration did not differ between the two groups. No bleeding-related complications on the access site were seen in both groups. There were two cases of radial artery occlusion in dTRA group and three cases in sTRA group 1 month after discharge. Multivariable regression analysis showed that dTRA significantly shortened hemostasis time (β -3.1, 95% CI -3.8 ~ -2.3, p < 0.001) with a reduction in costs (β -3.3, 95% CI -5.400 ~ -1,200, p = 0.004, (CNY ×10³)).
Conclusions: Same-day discharge after dTRA CAG with protamine was feasible and safe, achieving significantly reduced hemostasis time and costs compared to sTRA.
Trial Registration: As an observational cohort, this study was not prospectively registered in a clinical trial registry.

Introduction: Length of stay (LOS) is a substantial driver of costs following primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA), leading to increased efforts targeting same-day discharge. However, patient selection for same-day discharge TKA remains a challenge, with 7 to 49% of patients failing to achieve planned same-day discharge with current stratification tools. This study aimed to develop and assess multiclass machine learning models for patient selection for same-day discharge TKA as well as risk for prolonged LOS using a large national patient cohort.

Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) surged in the 2022-2023 respiratory season after low activity during the pandemic. To monitor the RSV season in real time and support healthcare planning, Ontario introduced daily hospital bed census reporting of RSV hospitalizations by age group (0-17, 18-64, 65 years and older).
Objectives: To assess the completeness and quality of the newly introduced real-time surveillance compared to end-of-season ICD-10 coded hospitalization discharge abstract data (DAD) from November 22, 2022, to March 31, 2023.

Background: Low-impact laparoscopy (LIL), a surgical protocol using mini-laparoscopic instruments and low-and-stable pneumoperitoneal pressure, was developed as a minimally invasive approach to mitigate local and systemic effects of laparoscopy. However, its real clinical impact is still poorly documented.
Objective: To evaluate LIL impact on the postoperative recovery quality 6 hours after laparoscopic hysterectomy (henceforth 6H postsurgery) compared to conventional laparoscopy.

Introduction: Pectus excavatum is surgically managed with minimally invasive bar placement. Pain control effectively determines the postoperative length of stay (LOS). Pain management after this operation has been transformed with the use of intercostal cryoablation, with LOS of one night being a previous standard of care.

Introduction: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services now mandates the collection of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) before and after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), though their utility in predicting clinical outcomes remains unclear. This study compared the power of preoperative PROMs to predict clinical outcomes after TKA to established indices, including the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and the Risk Assessment and Prediction Tool (RAPT).
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 2,923 patients undergoing elective, primary, unilateral TKA who completed the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement (KOOS JR) and four Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) domains within 90 days preoperatively.
