INTRODUCTION: Robotic surgery has integrated into the healthcare system despite limited evidence demonstrating its clinical benefit. Our objectives were (i) to describe secular trends and (ii) patient- and system-level determinants of the receipt of ...
BACKGROUND: The debate of whether to centralize hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery has been ongoing. The principal objective was to compare outcomes of a community pancreatic surgical program with those of high-volume academic centers.
Recently, research has shown an increased spread of non-communicable diseases such as cancer. Lung cancer diagnosis and detection has become one of the biggest obstacles in recent years. Early lung cancer diagnosis and detection would reliably promot...
The aim of this study is to report the experience of implementing a pediatric robotic surgery program at a free-standing pediatric teaching hospital. A database was created to prospectively collect perioperative data for all robotic surgeries perform...
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) holds significant potential in medical education and patient care, but its rapid emergence presents ethical and practical challenges. This study explored the perspectives of surgical residents on AI's role in ...
BACKGROUND: Retrospective studies have demonstrated that the deep learning-based cardiac arrest risk management system (DeepCARS™) is superior to the conventional methods in predicting in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). This prospective study aimed t...
BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prevalent tumor with high mortality rates. Computed tomography (CT) is crucial in the non-invasive diagnosis of HCC. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have shown significant potential ...
BACKGROUND: Early and reliable identification of patients with sepsis who are at high risk of mortality is important to improve clinical outcomes. However, 3 major barriers to artificial intelligence (AI) models, including the lack of interpretabilit...

BACKGROUND: Pre-operative risk assessment can help clinicians prepare patients for surgery, reducing the risk of perioperative complications, length of hospital stay, readmission and mortality. Further, it can facilitate collaborative decision-making...
BACKGROUND: Hospital 'command centres' use digital technologies to collect, analyse and present real-time information that may improve patient flow and patient safety. Bradford Royal Infirmary has trialled this approach and presents an opportunity to...
