Robotic versus laparoscopic distal gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer: a propensity score-matched analysis.

BMC surgery
BACKGROUND: Robotic distal gastrectomy (RDG) has been increasingly used for the treatment of gastric cancer (GC). However, whether RDG has a clinical advantage over laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) is yet to be determined. Thus, this study aimed...

Sugammadex versus neostigmine on postoperative pulmonary complications after robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy: a propensity score-matched analysis.

Journal of anesthesia
PURPOSE: Robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) requires particular surgical conditions, such as carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg positioning, which may have adverse effects on the respiratory system. The effect of su...

Clinical advantages of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy versus laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in terms of global and split renal functions: A propensity score-matched comparative analysis.

International journal of urology : official journal of the Japanese Urological Association
OBJECTIVES: To identify predictors of renal function preservation, and to compare the global and split renal function outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.

Preferences for Artificial Intelligence Clinicians Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Discrete Choice Experiment and Propensity Score Matching Study.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) methods can potentially be used to relieve the pressure that the COVID-19 pandemic has exerted on public health. In cases of medical resource shortages caused by the pandemic, changes in people's preferences f...

On kernel machine learning for propensity score estimation under complex confounding structures.

Pharmaceutical statistics
Post marketing data offer rich information and cost-effective resources for physicians and policy-makers to address some critical scientific questions in clinical practice. However, the complex confounding structures (e.g., nonlinear and nonadditive ...

LigaSure versus the standard technique (Hem-o-lok clips) for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: a propensity score-matched study.

Journal of robotic surgery
The aim of the study is to compare the utility and efficacy of the LigaSure system and standard surgical clips for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. The medical records of 473 patients who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy between Ma...
