BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Scrub typhus is a zoonotic rickettsial disease that is transmitted by the bite of the larval stage (chiggers) of trombiculid mites. The aim of this study was to determine the existence of scrub typhus in central and eastern U...
IMPORTANCE: Triage in the emergency department (ED) is a complex clinical judgment based on the tacit understanding of the patient's likelihood of survival, availability of medical resources, and local practices. Although a scoring tool could be valu...
INTRODUCTION: Ureteroileal anastomosis stricture is a frequent complication after radical cystectomy and ileal conduit or orthotopic neobladder formation. We analyze their incidence based on the technique for urinary diversion and on the surgical app...

AIM: With increasing follow-up of patients treated with minimally invasive ventral mesh rectopexy (VMR) more redo surgery can be expected for recurrent rectal prolapse, mesh erosion and pelvic pain. The aim of this study is to evaluate the 90-day mor...
OBJECTIVES: We aimed at identifying the important variables for labour induction intervention and assessing the predictive performance of machine learning algorithms.
Robot-assisted surgeries allows the surgeons to operate using remote-controlled robotic arms that are more effective in comparison to conventional (open/laparoscopic) surgeries. However, there is substantial lack of evidence on the effectiveness of r...
BACKGROUND: Prediction of low Apgar score for vaginal deliveries following labor induction intervention is critical for improving neonatal health outcomes. We set out to investigate important attributes and train popular machine learning (ML) algorit...
Institutional operating room (OR) management is an established and indispensable component of organizational structures in most hospitals, independent of the level of care. In this role, OR management needs to consider both the high fixed costs of op...
To test the hypothesis of an association between the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification system and the risk of 90-days postoperative complications after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), graded using...
Robotic sacropexy (RSC) emerged in the last years as a valid alternative to the laparoscopic technique. However, the robotic approach is still limited by platform availability and concerns about cost-effectiveness. Recently, new robotic platforms jo...
