Predicting Prolonged Stay in the ICU Attributable to Bleeding in Patients Offered Plasma Transfusion.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
In blood transfusion studies, plasma transfusion (PPT) and bleeding are known to be associated with risk of prolonged ICU length of stay (ICU-LOS). However, as patients can show significant heterogeneity in response to a treatment, there might exists...

Robot-assisted single-site compared with laparoscopic single-incision cholecystectomy for benign gallbladder disease: protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

BMC surgery
BACKGROUND: Recent advances in robotic technology suggest that the utilization of the da Vinci Single-Siteā„¢ platform for cholecystectomy is safe, feasible and results in a shorter learning curve compared to conventional single-incision laparoscopic c...

Laparoscopic versus robotic adrenalectomy: A comprehensive meta-analysis.

International journal of surgery (London, England)
BACKGROUND: The benefit of robotic adrenalectomy (RA) compared to laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) is still debatable. The purpose of this paper was to systematically review and synthesize all available evidence comparing RA to LA so as to evaluate wh...

Robotic single port cholecystectomy: current data and future perspectives.

Minerva chirurgica
INTRODUCTION: Minimally invasive techniques are used more and more frequently. Since conventional laparoscopic approach has been the gold standard, surgeons in their effort to further reduce the invasiveness of conventional laparoscopic cholecystecto...

Early Australian experience in robotic sleeve gastrectomy: a single site series.

ANZ journal of surgery
BACKGROUND: The use of robotic platforms in bariatric surgery has recently gained relevance. With an increased use of this technology come concerns regarding learning curve effects during the initial implementation phase. The sleeve gastrectomy thoug...

Robotic versus laparoscopic low anterior resection for rectal cancer: a meta-analysis.

World journal of surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: The objective of this meta-analysis was to compare the clinical and oncologic outcomes of robotic low anterior resection (R-LAR) with conventional laparoscopic low anterior resection (L-LAR).

Abdominal compartment syndrome in traumatic hemorrhagic shock: is there a fluid resuscitation inflection point associated with increased risk?

American journal of surgery
BACKGROUND: The volume of fluid administered during trauma resuscitation correlates with the risk of abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). The exact volume at which this risk rises is uncertain. We established the inflection point for ACS risk during...

Neural Network Prediction of ICU Length of Stay Following Cardiac Surgery Based on Pre-Incision Variables.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Advanced predictive analytical techniques are being increasingly applied to clinical risk assessment. This study compared a neural network model to several other models in predicting the length of stay (LOS) in the cardiac surgical intens...

A systematic review and meta-analysis of conventional laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy versus robot-assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy.

International journal of gynaecology and obstetrics: the official organ of the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (RALSC) has spread rapidly without the availability of comprehensive and systematically recorded outcome data.
