Abstract
There is no consensus on the best surgical technique for treating thumb ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) ruptures. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigates which primary repair technique and postoperative immobilization protocol result in the best clinical outcomes. A literature search was conducted in Embase, Medline ALL Ovid, Web of Science Core Selection and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Pain, stability, tip pinch strength, key pinch strength, grip strength, return to work and metacarpophalangeal joint range of motion were collected as postoperative outcomes. In total, 29 studies were included. All surgical techniques resulted in satisfactory clinical outcomes, with no significant differences between bone anchor reinsertion, suture fixation, K-wire fixation and a combination of techniques. K-wire immobilization resulted in worse postoperative pain, but similar stability compared to immobilization without a K-wire. Clinical outcomes after thumb UCL repair are excellent, with no differences in clinical outcomes noted among surgical techniques.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Somatic symptom disorders (SSD) and functional somatic syndromes (FSS) are often regarded as similar diagnostic constructs; however, whether they exhibit similar clinical outcomes, medical costs, and medication usage patterns has not been examined in nationwide data. Therefore, this study focused on analyzing SSD and four types of FSS (fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, functional dyspepsia). METHODS This population-based matched cohort study utilized Taiwan's National Health Insurance (NHI) claims database to investigate the impact of SSD/FSS. The study included 2 615 477 newly diagnosed patients with SSD/FSS and matched comparisons from the NHI beneficiary registry. Healthcare utilization, mortality, medical expenditure, and medication usage were assessed as outcome measures. Statistical analysis involved Cox regression models for hazard ratios, generalized linear models for comparing differences, and adjustment for covariates. RESULTS All SSD/FSS showed significantly higher adjusted hazard ratios for psychiatric hospitalization and all-cause hospitalization compared to the control group. All SSD/FSS exhibited significantly higher adjusted hazard ratios for suicide, and SSD was particularly high. All-cause mortality was significantly higher in all SSD/FSS. Medical costs were significantly higher for all SSD/FSS compared to controls. The usage duration of all psychiatric medications and analgesics was significantly higher in SSD/FSS compared to the control group. CONCLUSION All SSD/FSS shared similar clinical outcomes and medical costs. The high hazard ratio for suicide in SSD deserves clinical attention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Aortic valvuloplasty frequency has significantly increased over the past 15 years. Surgical repair varies in complexity depending on valvular lesions. Our aim is to report results on the whole spectrum of aortic valvuloplasty techniques. METHODS All children who consecutively underwent aortic valvuloplasty for aortic stenosis and/or aortic insufficiency between January 2006 and December 2020 at Necker Sick Children's Hospital (Paris, France) were included in a retrospective cohort study. Aortic valvuloplasty techniques were classified into 3 difficulty levels: (1) simple repair, corresponding to commissurotomy and/or shaving in aortic stenosis (AS) in neonates (group 1) and children >1 month (group 2); (2) intermediate-complexity repair, corresponding to commissuroplasty, leaflet resuspension, and fenestration closure in aortic insufficiency (leaflet prolapse in connective tissue disease, isolated leaflet prolapse and Laubry-Pezzi groups); and (3) complex repair requiring a pericardial patch to restore a functional aortic valve in mixed aortic valve disease (bicuspidization with neocommissure and cusp extension groups). RESULTS During the study period, 324 children underwent aortic valvuloplasty. Survival and freedom from aortic valve reintervention at 10 years were, respectively, 86.1% and 50.9% in neonates with AS, 95.2% and 71.7% in children >1 month with AS, 93.8% and 79.5% in leaflet prolapse in connective tissue disease, 97.7% and 91.9% in isolated leaflet prolapse, 100% and 88% in those with Laubry-Pezzi syndrome, 97.4% and 84.8% in bicuspidization with neocommissure, and 100% and 54.2% in the cusp extension. CONCLUSIONS Durability of aortic valvuloplasty techniques is satisfactory and offers the possibility to delay the Ross procedure, regardless of the lesion's complexity.

Abstract
Aims Radiotherapy is a well-known local treatment for spinal metastases. However, in the presence of postoperative systemic therapy, the efficacy of radiotherapy on local control (LC) and overall survival (OS) in patients with spinal metastases remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of post-surgical radiotherapy for spinal metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, and to identify factors correlated with LC and OS. Methods A retrospective, single-centre review was conducted of patients with spinal metastases from NSCLC who underwent surgery followed by systemic therapy at our institution from January 2018 to September 2022. Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank tests were used to compare the LC and OS between groups. Associated factors for LC and OS were assessed using Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. Results Overall, 123 patients with 127 spinal metastases from NSCLC who underwent decompression surgery followed by postoperative systemic therapy were included. A total of 43 lesions were treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) after surgery and 84 lesions were not. Survival rate at one, two, and three years was 83.4%, 58.9%, and 48.2%, respectively, and LC rate was 87.8%, 78.8%, and 78.8%, respectively. Histological type was the only significant associated factor for both LC (p = 0.007) and OS (p < 0.001). Treatment with targeted therapy was significantly associated with longer survival (p = 0.039). The risk factors associated with worse survival were abnormal laboratory data (p = 0.021), lesions located in the thoracic spine (p = 0.047), and lumbar spine (p = 0.044). This study also revealed that postoperative radiotherapy had little effect in improving OS or LC. Conclusion Tumour histological type was significantly associated with the prognosis in spinal NSCLC metastasis patients. In the presence of post-surgical systemic therapy, radiotherapy appeared to be less effective in improving LC, OS, or quality of life in spinal NSCLC metastasis patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Snapping scapula syndrome (SSS) is a rare condition that is oftentimes debilitating. For patients whose symptoms are resistant to nonoperative treatment, arthroscopic surgery may offer relief. Because of the rarity of SSS, reports of clinical outcomes after arthroscopic SSS surgery are primarily limited to small case series and short-term follow-up studies. PURPOSE To report minimum 5-year clinical and sport-specific outcomes after arthroscopic bursectomy and partial scapulectomy for SSS and to identify demographic and clinical factors at baseline associated with clinical outcomes at minimum 5-year follow-up. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS Patients who underwent arthroscopic bursectomy and partial scapulectomy for SSS between October 2005 and February 2016 with a minimum of 5 years of postoperative follow-up were enrolled in this single-center study. Clinical outcome scores, including the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Shoulder Score, shortened version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH) score, Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), and visual analog scale (VAS) score for pain, were collected at a minimum 5-year follow-up. Additionally, it was determined which patients reached the minimal clinically important difference. Bivariate analysis was used to determine whether baseline demographic and clinical factors had any association with the outcome scores. RESULTS Of 81 patients eligible for inclusion in the study, follow-up was obtained for 66 patients (age 33.6 ± 13.3 years; 31 female). At a mean follow-up of 8.9 ± 2.5 years (range, 5.0-15.4 years), all of the outcome scores significantly improved compared with baseline. These included the ASES (from 56.7 ± 14.5 at baseline to 87.2 ± 13.9 at follow-up; P < .001), QuickDASH (from 38.7 ± 17.6 to 13.1 ± 14.6; P < .001), SANE (from 52.4 ± 21.2 to 82.7 ± 19.9; P < .001), SF-12 Physical Component Summary (from 39.7 ± 8.3 to 50.3 ± 8.2; P < .001), SF-12 Mental Component Summary (from 48.2 ± 11.7 to 52.0 ± 9.0; P = 0.014) and VAS pain (from 5.2 ± 2.1 to 1.4 ± 2.0; P < .001). The minimal clinically important difference in the ASES score was reached by 77.6% of the patients. Median postoperative satisfaction was 8 out of 10. It was found that 90.5% of the patients returned to sport, with 73.8% of the patients able to return to their preinjury level. At the time of final follow-up, 8 (12.1%) patients had undergone revision surgery for recurrent SSS symptoms. Older age at surgery (P = .044), lower preoperative SF-12 Mental Component Summary score (P = .008), lower preoperative ASES score (P = .019), and increased preoperative VAS pain score (P = .016) were significantly associated with not achieving a Patient Acceptable Symptom State on the ASES score. CONCLUSION Patients undergoing arthroscopic bursectomy and partial scapulectomy for SSS experienced clinically significant improvements in functional scores, pain, and quality of life, which were sustained at a minimum of 5 years and a mean follow-up of 8.9 years postoperatively. Higher patient age, inferior mental health status, increased shoulder pain, and lower ASES scores at baseline were significantly associated with worse postoperative outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although age and body mass index (BMI) significantly affect platelet reactivity units and clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention, there are limited data on the relationship between high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HPR) and clinical outcomes on age and BMI differences. Thus, we investigated the association of HPR with clinical outcomes according to age and BMI. METHODS AND RESULTS The study analyzed 11 714 patients who underwent platelet function tests after percutaneous coronary intervention. The primary end point was the occurrence of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs), whereas the secondary end point was major bleeding. HPR was defined as platelet reactivity units ≥252. Patients were categorized by age (<67 years of age or ≥67 years of age) and BMI (≤22.6 kg/m2 or >22.6 kg/m2). Patients <67 years of age with HPR had increases in both MACCEs (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 1.436 [95% CI, 1.106-1.867]; P=0.007) and major bleeding (adjusted HR, 1.584 [95% CI, 1.095-2.290]; P=0.015) compared with the those with non-HPR, respectively. In patients ≥67 years of age with HPR, there were no differences in MACCEs, but there was a decrease in major bleeding (adjusted HR, 0.721 [95% CI, 0.542-0.959]; P=0.024). Meanwhile, patients with HPR with BMI >22.6 kg/m2 had increases in MACCEs (adjusted HR, 1.387 [95% CI, 1.140-1.688]; P=0.001). No differences were shown in major bleeding. CONCLUSIONS HPR was linked to an increase in MACCEs or a decrease in major bleeding in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention, depending on age and BMI. This study is the first to observe that clinical outcomes in patients with HPR after percutaneous coronary intervention may vary based on age and BMI. Because the study is observational, the results should be viewed as hypothesis generating and emphasize the need for randomized clinical trials.

Abstract
Introduction: Optimal chronic care management is limited by low health care access and health literacy among underserved populations. We introduced clinical pharmacy services to enhance our patient-centered home model, which serves mostly Medicare/Medicaid-insured patients. Primary care providers (PCP) refer patients with uncontrolled diabetes to the pharmacist for chronic disease management between PCP appointments to bring A1c to goal under a collaborative agreement. This workflow existed before the COVID-19 pandemic and was primarily in-person visits. Our model transitioned to telehealth, where pharmacy services continued via audio/video visits to avoid disruption in care. Methods: A collaborative scope of practice within care guidelines was developed with PCPs. Established patients with uncontrolled diabetes were referred to the clinical pharmacist. The workflow remained consistent through January 1, 2019 to January 31, 2020 (pre-COVID), and April 1, 2020 to October 31, 2021 (post-COVID). February and March 2020 were excluded due to changing operational processes at the pandemic onset. The pharmacist independently saw patients for medication-related interventions and ordered associated labs within the scope of practice. The program was retrospectively evaluated via process metrics (visit volume and intervention types) and clinical outcome (A1c reduction). Results: A total of 105 patients were referred for diabetes management during the study period. These were in-person pre-COVID (95%) and shifted to entirely audio/video (100%) post-COVID. Impact of pharmacy services was sustained through the change in care model: an A1c reduction of more than 0.5% was observed in 65% (n = 20) and 69% (n = 49) of patients managed by the pharmacist, pre- and post-COVID, respectively. Pharmacy visit volumes were 86 versus 308, respectively. Conclusion: Pharmacy referral and visit volumes increased over the pandemic, made possible via telehealth. The goal attainment rate observed pre-COVID was amplified even with the growth in services over time. Clinical pharmacy services delivered through audio/video telehealth visits may be equally effective compared to face-to-face services.

Abstract
Objective Patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) often have peripheral artery disease (PAD). It is well known that the long-term clinical outcomes of AMI are worse in patients with a low ankle-brachial index (ABI) than in patients with a preserved ABI. Unlike ABI, the association between the inter-arm blood pressure difference (IABPD) and clinical outcomes in patients with AMI has not yet been established. This retrospective study examined whether or not the IABPD is associated with long-term clinical outcomes in patients with AMI. Methods We included 979 patients with AMI and divided them into a high-IABPD group (IABPD ≥10 mmHg, n=31) and a low-IABPD group (IABPD <10 mmHg, n=948) according to the IABPD measured during hospitalization for AMI. The primary endpoint was the all-cause mortality rate. Results During a median follow-up duration of 694 days (Q1, 296 days; Q3, 1,281 days), 82 all-cause deaths were observed. Kaplan-Meier curves showed that all-cause death was more frequently observed in the high-IABPD group than in the low-IABPD group (p<0.001). A multivariate Cox hazard analysis revealed that a high IABPD was significantly associated with all-cause death (hazard ratio 2.061, 95% confidence interval 1.012-4.197, p=0.046) after controlling for multiple confounding factors. Conclusion A high IABPD was significantly associated with long-term all-cause mortality in patients with AMI. Our results suggest the usefulness of the IABPD as a prognostic marker for patients with AMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Bristow coracoid transfer procedure is a reliable technique for treating anterior shoulder instability in patients with large glenoid bone loss or those involved in collision sports. However, its success is marred by its inferior bone union rate of the coracoid process as compared to the Latarjet procedure. This study aimed to evaluate whether arthroscopic confirmation of the secured coracoid fixation during the Bristow procedure improves the bone union rate and clinical outcomes as compared to the open procedure. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 104 rugby players (n = 111 shoulders) who underwent an open (n = 66 shoulders) or arthroscopy-assisted (AS-assisted; n = 45 shoulders) Bristow procedure at our center from 2007 to April 2019. In the AS-assisted group, the screw fixation and coracoid stability and contact were confirmed under arthroscopic visualization. Graft union was evaluated through computed tomography at 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively. Patient-reported outcome measures were assessed based on the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Rowe score, and satisfaction rate. Recurrence, the rate of return to play (RTP), and the frequency of pain after RTP were also assessed. RESULTS The mean follow-up period was 73.5 (range: 45-160) months for the open group and 32.3 (range: 24-56) months for the AS-assisted group. In the former, the rates of bone union were 50%, 72.7%, and 88.9% at 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year, respectively. In contrast, the AS-assisted group had significantly greater bone union rates-88.9%, 93.3%, and 95.6% at 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year, respectively. Both groups showed significant improvement in the ASES and Rowe scores compared to preoperative values as well as high satisfaction rates (open: 92%; AS-assisted: 95.7%). There were no statistically significant differences in the recurrence and RTP rates as well as the frequency of pain after RTP between the two groups. CONCLUSION The AS-assisted procedure allows early and high bone healing without compromising the clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Background: Acute appendicitis (AA) in older individuals remains understudied. We aimed to assess AA characteristics in patients older than 60 years and evaluate the impact of comorbidities. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data from the American National Inpatient Sample between 2016 and 2019 to compare AA characteristics in patients younger and older than 60 years. Results: Of the 538,400 patients included, 27.5% were older than 60 years. Younger patients had a higher appendectomy rate (p < 0.01), while the complicated appendicitis rate was higher in older patients. Superficial wound infection, systemic infection, and mortality rates were higher in older patients (p < 0.01). Risk factors for superficial wound infection in patients younger than 60 years included cerebrovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, heart failure, and obesity, whereas only heart failure was a risk factor in older patients. Risk factors for systemic infection in young patients included hypertension, heart failure, obesity, and diabetes mellitus, while in older patients they included hypertension, heart failure, and obesity. Complicated appendicitis was not a risk factor for infections in either group. Conclusions: This study highlights a higher incidence of AA in older individuals than previously reported, with comorbidities posing differing risks for infections between age groups.

Abstract
Context Next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis of sporadic medullary thyroid carcinoma (sMTC) has led to increased detection of somatic mutations, including RET M918T, which has been considered a negative prognostic indicator. Objective This study aimed to determine the association between clinicopathologic behavior and somatic mutation identified on clinically motivated NGS. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, patients with sMTC who underwent NGS to identify somatic mutations for treatment planning were identified. Clinicopathologic factors, time to distant metastatic disease (DMD), disease-specific survival (DSS), and overall survival (OS) were compared between somatic mutations. Results Somatic mutations were identified in 191 sMTC tumors, including RET M918T (53.4%), other RET codons (10.5%), RAS (18.3%), somatic RET indels (8.9%), and RET/RAS wild-type (WT) status (8.9%). The median age at diagnosis was 50 years (range, 11-83); 46.1% were female. When comparing patients with RET M918T, RET-Other, and RET WT (which included RAS and RET/RAS WT), there were no differences in sex, TNM category, systemic therapy use, time to DMD, DSS, or OS. On multivariate analysis, older age at diagnosis (HR 1.05, P < .001; HR 1.06, P< .001) and M1 stage at diagnosis (HR 3.17, P = .001; HR 2.98, P = .001) were associated with decreased DSS and OS, respectively, but mutation cohort was not. When comparing RET M918T to RET indels there was no significant difference in time to DMD, DSS, or OS between the groups. Conclusion Somatic RET mutations do not portend compromised DSS or OS in a cohort of sMTC patients who underwent clinically motivated NGS.

Abstract
Background and aims Most pancreatic insulinomas can be treated by minimally invasive modalities. The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess the clinical outcomes of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided ablation and minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in the treatment of pancreatic insulinoma. Materials and methods Online databases were searched for relevant studies. The primary aim was to compare the rates of adverse events (AEs) and the secondary aims were to compare the clinical and technical success rates, length of hospital stays, and symptom recurrence rates between EUS and MIS approaches. Results Eight studies with 150 patients were identified that reported EUS-guided ablation outcomes, forming the EUS group, and 9 studies with 236 patients reported MIS outcomes, forming the MIS group. The pooled median age of the included patients in the EUS group was greater than that of the MIS group (64.06 vs. 44.98 years old, p < 0.001). Also, the technical success rate was significantly higher in the EUS group (100% vs. 96.6%, p = 0.025), while the clinical success was significantly higher (6%) in the MIS group (94% vs. 98.7%, p = 0.021). The AE rates (18.7% vs. 31.1%, p = 0.012) and severe AE rates (1.3% vs. 7.9%, p = 0.011) were significantly lower in the EUS group. The median length of hospital stay in the EUS group (2.68 days, 95% CI: 1.88-3.48, I2 = 60.3%) was significantly shorter than in the MIS group (7.40 days, 95% CI: 6.22-8.58, I2 = 42.2%, p < 0.001). The recurrence rate was significantly higher in the EUS group (15.3% vs. 1.3%, p < 0.001). Conclusions EUS-guided ablation is associated with a lower AE rate and a shorter length of hospital stay, but a higher recurrence rate for the treatment of insulinoma compared with MIS. The EUS approach may be an alternative, even first-line, treatment for poor surgery candidates.

Abstract
Purpose Although the adverse effects of atrial fibrillation (AF) on cancers have been well reported, the relationship between the AF and the adverse outcomes in prostate cancer (PC) remains inconclusive. This study aimed to explore the prevalence of AF and evaluate the relationship between AF and clinical outcomes in PC patients. Methods Patients diagnosed with PC between 2008 and 2017 were identified from the National Inpatient Sample database. The trends in AF prevalence were compared among PC patients and their subgroups. Multivariable regression models were used to assess the associations between AF and in-hospital mortality, length of hospital stay, total cost, and other clinical outcomes. Results 256,239 PC hospitalizations were identified; 41,356 (83.8%) had no AF and 214,883 (16.2%) had AF. AF prevalence increased from 14.0% in 2008 to 20.1% in 2017 (P < .001). In-hospital mortality in PC inpatients with AF increased from 5.1% in 2008 to 8.1% in 2017 (P < .001). AF was associated with adverse clinical outcomes, such as in-hospital mortality, congestive heart failure, pulmonary circulation disorders, renal failure, fluid and electrolyte disorders, cardiogenic shock, higher total cost, and longer length of hospital stay. Conclusions The prevalence of AF among inpatients with PC increased from 2008 to 2017. AF was associated with poor prognosis and higher health resource utilization. Better management strategies for patients with comorbid PC and AF, particularly in older individuals, are required.

Abstract
Preoperative depression is prevalent among patients undergoing metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) and is a potentially modifiable risk factor. However, the impact of preoperative depression on MBS outcomes has not been systematically reviewed. A search of MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane, and PsychINFO (inception to June 2023) was conducted for studies reporting associations between preoperative depression and any clinical or patient-reported outcomes after MBS. Eighteen studies (5 prospective and 13 retrospective) reporting on 5933 participants were included. Most participants underwent gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. Meta-analyses were not conducted due to heterogeneity in reported outcomes; findings were instead synthesized using a narrative and tabular approach. Across 13 studies (n = 3390) the associations between preoperative depression and weight loss outcomes at 6-72 months were mixed overall. This may be related to differences in cohort characteristics, outcome definitions, and instruments used to measure depression. A small number of studies reported that preoperative depression was associated with lower quality of life, worse acute pain, and more perioperative complications after surgery. Most of the included studies were deemed to be at high risk of bias, resulting in low or very low certainty of evidence according to the Risk of Bias In Non-randomized Studies - of Exposure (ROBINS-E) tool. While the impact of preoperative depression on weight loss after MBS remains unclear, there is early evidence that depression has negative consequences on other patient-important outcomes. Adequately powered studies using more sophisticated statistical methods are needed to accurately estimate these associations.

Abstract
People living with HIV (PLWH) usually suffer from co-infections and co-morbidities including respiratory tract infections. SARS-CoV-2 has been reported to cause respiratory infections. There are uncertainties in the disease severity and immunological response among PLWH who are co-infected with COVID-19. This review outlines the current knowledge on the clinical outcomes and immunological response to SARS-CoV-2 among PLWH. Literature was searched in Google scholar, Scopus, PubMed, and Science Direct conforming with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines from studies published from January 2020 to June 2023. A total of 81 studies from 25 countries were identified, and RT-PCR was used in confirming COVID-19 in 80 of the studies. Fifty-seven studies assessed risk factors and clinical outcomes in HIV patients co-infected with COVID-19. Thirty-nine of the studies indicated the following factors being associated with severe outcomes in HIV/SARS-CoV-2: older age, the male sex, African American race, smoking, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, low CD4+ count, high viral load, tuberculosis, high levels of inflammatory markers, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, diabetes, interruption, and delayed initiation of ART. The severe outcomes are patients' hospitalization, admission at intensive care unit, mechanical ventilation, and death. Twenty (20) studies, however, reported no difference in clinical presentation among co-infected compared to mono-infected individuals. Immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection was investigated in 25 studies, with some of the studies reporting high levels of inflammatory markers, T cell exhaustion and lower positive conversion rate of IgG in PLWH. There is scanty information on the cytokines that predisposes to severity among HIV/SARS-CoV-2 co-infected individuals on combined ART. More research work should be carried out to validate co-infection-related cytokines and/or immune markers to SARS-CoV-2 among PLWH.

Abstract
Clinically, programmed death-1 (PD-1) blockades have demonstrated promising therapeutic outcomes for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The present study aimed to examine the impact of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) polymorphism on clinical outcomes of patients with advanced NSCLC who were treated with PD-1 blockades therapy. The present study was designed as a retrospective analysis, where a consecutive screening of 89 patients with advanced NSCLC who received PD-1 blockades monotherapy were screened. Biological specimens were collected to determine the presence of polymorphism and PD-L1 mRNA expression through genotyping. The analysis focused on examining the relationship between the genotype status of PD-L1 polymorphism and clinical outcomes. Among the 89 patients with advanced NSCLC, the use of PD-1 blockades monotherapy resulted in objective response rate (ORR) of 22.5%, a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 3.4 months [95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.80-5.00) and a median overall survival (OS) of 11.3 months (95% CI: 7.93-14.67). The analysis of polymorphism indicated that only rs2297136 had clinical significance. Among the 89 patients with NSCLC, the prevalence of rs2297136 was as follows: A total of 58 cases (65.2%) had the AA genotype, 28 cases (31.5%) had the AG genotype and 3 cases (3.4%) had the GG genotype. This resulted in a minor allele frequency of 0.19, which was in consistent with Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (P=0.865). The correlation analysis between genotype status of rs2297136 and clinical outcomes indicated that patients with the AA genotype had an ORR of 19.0%, while those with the AG/GG genotype had an ORR of 29.0% (P=0.278). Additionally, the median PFS for the AA genotype was 2.95 months, compared with 5.30 months for the AG/GG genotype (P=0.038). Accordingly, median OS of the AA and AG/GG genotypes was 8.8 and 18.4 months, respectively (P=0.011). The mRNA expression of PD-L1 was significantly higher in patients with AG/GG genotype compared with those with AA genotype (P<0.001). In clinical practice, PD-1 blockades demonstrated promising effectiveness in treating patients with advanced NSCLC. The presence of the rs2297136 variant in PD-L1 gene could potentially be used as a biomarker to predict the clinical outcomes of PD-1 blockades.

Abstract
Although literature has demonstrated the noninferiority of oral antibiotics in the treatment of infectious endocarditis, widespread adoption of this practice has yet to occur in the United States. We report on 32 patients with infectious endocarditis treated by a multidisciplinary endocarditis team and a standardized approach to partial oral antibiotic therapy with a high rate of clinical success.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the long-term outcomes of immediate drainage versus the postponed-drainage approach in patients with infected necrotizing pancreatitis. BACKGROUND In the randomized POINTER trial, patients assigned to the postponed-drainage approach using antibiotic treatment required fewer interventions, as compared with immediate drainage, and over a third were treated without any intervention. METHODS Clinical data of those patients alive after the initial 6-month follow-up were re-evaluated. The primary outcome was a composite of death and major complications. RESULTS Out of 104 patients, 88 were re-evaluated with a median follow-up of 51 months. After the initial 6-month follow-up, the primary outcome occurred in 7 of 47 patients (15%) in the immediate-drainage group and 7 of 41 patients (17%) in the postponed-drainage group (RR 0.87, 95% CI 0.33-2.28; P =0.78). Additional drainage procedures were performed in 7 patients (15%) versus 3 patients (7%) (RR 2.03; 95% CI 0.56-7.37; P =0.34). The median number of additional interventions was 0 (IQR 0-0) in both groups ( P =0.028). In the total follow-up, the median number of interventions was higher in the immediate-drainage group than in the postponed-drainage group (4 vs. 1, P =0.001). Eventually, 14 of 15 patients (93%) in the postponed-drainage group who were successfully treated in the initial 6-month follow-up with antibiotics and without any intervention remained without intervention. At the end of follow-up, pancreatic function and quality of life were similar. CONCLUSIONS Also, during long-term follow-up, a postponed-drainage approach using antibiotics in patients with infected necrotizing pancreatitis results in fewer interventions as compared with immediate drainage and should therefore be the preferred approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Machine learning (ML)-based clinical decision support tools (CDSTs) make personalized predictions for different treatments; by comparing predictions of multiple treatments, these tools can be used to optimize decision making for a particular patient. However, CDST prediction accuracy varies for different patients and also for different treatment options. If these differences are sufficiently large and consistent for a particular subcohort of patients, then that bias may result in those patients not receiving a particular treatment. Such level of bias would deem the CDST "unfair." The purpose of this study is to evaluate the "fairness" of ML CDST-based clinical outcomes predictions after anatomic (aTSA) and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) for patients of different demographic attributes. METHODS Clinical data from 8280 shoulder arthroplasty patients with 19,249 postoperative visits was used to evaluate the prediction fairness and accuracy associated with the following patient demographic attributes: ethnicity, sex, and age at the time of surgery. Performance of clinical outcome and range of motion regression predictions were quantified by the mean absolute error (MAE) and performance of minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and substantial clinical benefit classification predictions were quantified by accuracy, sensitivity, and the F1 score. Fairness of classification predictions leveraged the "four-fifths" legal guideline from the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and fairness of regression predictions leveraged established MCID thresholds associated with each outcome measure. RESULTS For both aTSA and rTSA clinical outcome predictions, only minor differences in MAE were observed between patients of different ethnicity, sex, and age. Evaluation of prediction fairness demonstrated that 0 of 486 MCID (0%) and only 3 of 486 substantial clinical benefit (0.6%) classification predictions were outside the 20% fairness boundary and only 14 of 972 (1.4%) regression predictions were outside of the MCID fairness boundary. Hispanic and Black patients were more likely to have ML predictions out of fairness tolerance for aTSA and rTSA. Additionally, patients <60 years old were more likely to have ML predictions out of fairness tolerance for rTSA. No disparate predictions were identified for sex and no disparate regression predictions were observed for forward elevation, internal rotation score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form score, or global shoulder function. CONCLUSION The ML algorithms analyzed in this study accurately predict clinical outcomes after aTSA and rTSA for patients of different ethnicity, sex, and age, where only 1.4% of regression predictions and only 0.3% of classification predictions were out of fairness tolerance using the proposed fairness evaluation method and acceptance criteria. Future work is required to externally validate these ML algorithms to ensure they are equally accurate for all legally protected patient groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite its correlation with skeletal muscle mass and its predictive value for adverse outcomes in clinical settings, calf circumference is a metric underexplored in intensive care. We aimed to determine whether adjusting low calf circumference for adiposity provides prognostic value superior to its unadjusted measurement for intensive care unit (ICU) mortality and other clinical outcomes in critically ill patients. METHODS In a secondary analysis of a cohort study across five ICUs, we assessed critically ill patients within 24 h of ICU admission. We adjusted calf circumference for body mass index (BMI) (25-29.9, 30-39.9, and ≥40) by subtracting 3, 7, or 12 cm from it, respectively. Values ≤34 cm for men and ≤33 cm for women identified low calf circumference. RESULTS We analyzed 325 patients. In the primary risk-adjusted analysis, the ICU death risk was similar between the low and preserved calf circumference (BMI-adjusted) groups (hazard ratio, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.47-1.73). Low calf circumference (unadjusted) increased the odds of ICU readmission 2.91 times (95% CI, 1.40-6.05). Every 1-cm increase in calf circumference as a continuous variable reduced ICU readmission odds by 12%. Calf circumference showed no significant association with other clinical outcomes. CONCLUSION BMI-adjusted calf circumference did not exhibit independent associations with ICU and in-hospital death, nor with ICU and in-hospital length of stay, compared with its unadjusted measurement. However, low calf circumference (unadjusted and BMI-adjusted) was independently associated with ICU readmission, mainly when analyzed as a continuous variable.

Abstract
Background: In lung transplantation surgery, extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is essential for safety. Various support methods, including cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and off-pump techniques, are used, with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) gaining prominence. However, consensus on the best support strategy is lacking.Purpose: This article reviews risks, benefits, and outcomes of different support strategies in lung transplantation. By consolidating knowledge, it aims to clarify selecting the most appropriate ECLS modality.Research Design: A comprehensive literature review examined CPB, off-pump techniques, and ECMO outcomes in lung transplantation, including surgical results and complications.Study Sample: Studies, including clinical trials and observational research, focused on ECLS in lung transplantation, both retrospective and prospective, providing a broad evidence base.Data Collection and/or Analysis: Selected studies were analyzed for surgical outcomes, complications, and survival rates associated with CPB, off-pump techniques, and ECMO to assess safety and effectiveness.Results: Off-pump techniques are preferred, with ECMO increasingly vital as a bridge to transplant, overshadowing CPB. However, ECMO entails hidden risks and higher costs. While safer than CPB, optimizing ECMO postoperative use and monitoring is crucial for success.Conclusions: Off-pump techniques are standard, but ECMO's role is expanding. Despite advantages, careful ECMO management is crucial due to hidden risks and costs. Future research should focus on refining ECMO use and monitoring to improve outcomes, emphasizing individualized approaches for LT recipients.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. OBJECTIVE To investigate factors associated with cervical sagittal imbalance (CSI) after cervical laminoplasty (LMP). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Preoperative dynamic cervical sagittal alignment is an important predictor for changes in cervical sagittal alignment and clinical outcomes after LMP. However, the impact of preoperative dynamic cervical sagittal alignment on postoperative changes in the cervical sagittal vertical axis (cSVA) after LMP remains unclear. We hypothesized that preoperative cervical flexion and extension function are associated with the changes in cSVA and clinical outcomes and found potential risk factors for post-LMP CSI. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients undergoing LMP at a single institution between January 2019 and December 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. The average follow-up period was 19 months. The parameters were collected before the surgery and at the final follow-up. We defined the changes in cSVA (△cSVA) ≤ -10 mm as the improvement group, -10 mm < △cSVA ≤ 10 mm as the stable group, and △cSVA > 10 mm as the deterioration group. Multivariate logistic regression was used to evaluate factors associated with postoperative CSI. The χ 2 test was used to compare categorical data between groups. T tests, analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis tests, and Mann-Whitney Wilcoxon tests were used to assess the differences between radiographic and clinical parameters among groups. A receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to identify optimal cutoff values. RESULTS The study comprised 102 patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy. The Japanese Orthopedic Association recovery rate was better in the improvement group and a significant aggravation in neck pain was observed in the deterioration group after surgery. Cervical Flex range of motion (ROM; spine range of flexion) was significantly higher in the deterioration group. The multivariate logistic regression model suggested that greater Flex ROM and starting LMP at C3 were significant risk factors for postoperative deterioration of cervical sagittal balance. Receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the cutoff value for preoperative Flex ROM was 34.10°. CONCLUSION Preoperative dynamic cervical sagittal alignment influences postoperative cervical sagittal balance after LMP. Cervical LMP should be carefully considered for patients with a preoperative high Flex ROM, as CSI is likely to occur after surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 3.

Abstract
Background: A notable improvement in the treatment of necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) is the development of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). Clinicians are still debating whether NPWT is as successful as conventional wet-to-dry dressings at removing bacteria. Recent research has revealed potential oxygen deprivation effects of NPWT in underlying wound tissues, although clinical trials regarding the effects of reduced oxygen on anaerobic bacterial soft tissue infections remain noticeably lacking. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that NPWT-treated patients with NSTIs who were solely infected by anaerobic bacteria would have worse outcomes than those who were infected with other bacterial species. Patients and Methods: Our study included a retrospective examination of the 2008-2022 period of our Acute and Critical Care Surgery database. Patients who had been identified as having necrotizing fasciitis, Fournier gangrene, or gas gangrene and who had their conditions verified by positive wound cultures acquired during the initial debridement and subsequently received NPWT made up the study cohort. Comorbidities, surgical techniques, and clinical results were all covered by the data. Based on their wound infections, patients were divided into two groups: those with exclusively anaerobic NSTIs and those with different bacterial groups (such as polymicrobial and aerobic). Multiple regression, χ2 analysis, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were among the analytical methods used. Results: One hundred twelve patients with NSTI who had received NPWT comprised the study cohort. Sixteen of these patients (14.3%) had NSTIs that were exclusively anaerobic, whereas the remaining 96 (85.7%) had NSTIs that were mixed aerobic, facultative, or polymicrobial. Between the two groups, there was no difference in the initial wound size. Patients with anaerobic NSTI who underwent NPWT showed a statistically significant increase in the number of debridements (3 [interquartile range {IQR},1-9] vs. 2 [IQR, 1-4]; p = 0.012) and an increased 100-day re-admission rate (37.5% vs. 12.5%; p = 0.012) when compared with patients with non-anaerobic NSTI. The 100-day re-admission rate increased three-fold in NPWT-treated anaerobic NSTIs, according to a logistic regression analysis (odds ratio [OR], 3.63; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.06-12.44; p = 0.04). Conclusions: In contrast to patients with other bacterial strains, our data show that patients with NSTI treated with NPWT who only have anaerobic bacterial infections have a larger number of debridements and are much more likely to require re-admission within 100 days. We call for additional prospective studies to be conducted to identify additional risk factors and consider alternate treatment options for individuals with exclusively anaerobic NSTIs in light of these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although short-term results are promising, there are limited data for long-term results of arthroscopic subscapularis (SSC) repair. The purpose of this study is to report minimum 10-year outcomes of primary arthroscopic repair of isolated partial or full-thickness tears of the upper third of the SSC tendon. METHODS Patients who underwent arthroscopic repair of isolated upper third SSC tears, Lafosse type I (>50% of tendon thickness) or type II were included. Surgeries were performed by a single surgeon between November 2005 and August 2011. Patient-reported outcome measures were prospectively collected and retrospectively reviewed at minimum follow-up of 10 years. Patient-reported outcomes utilized included the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation score (SANE), Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score (QuickDASH), the Short Form 12 physical component summary, return to activity, and patient satisfaction. A subanalysis of patient age and outcomes was performed. Retears, revision surgeries, and surgical complications were recorded. RESULTS In total, 29 patients with isolated upper third SSC repairs were identified. After application of exclusion criteria, 14 patients were included in the final analysis. Follow-up could be obtained from 11 patients. The mean age at surgery was 52.7 years (range: 36-72) and the mean follow-up was 12 years (range 10-15 years). The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score improved from 52.9 ± 21.8 preoperatively to 92.2 ± 13.7 postoperatively (P < .001). Regarding the SANE and QuickDASH scores, only postoperative data were available. Mean postoperative SANE, QuickDASH, and Short Form 12 physical component summary scores were 90.27 ± 10.5, 14.6 ± 15.5, and 49.2 ± 6.6, respectively. Median patient satisfaction was 10 (range 6-10). Patients reported improvements in sleep, activities of daily living, and sports. There was no correlation between patient age and clinical outcome (P > .05). No patients underwent revision surgery for a SSC retear. CONCLUSION Arthroscopic repair of upper third SSC tendon tears leads to improved clinical scores and high patient satisfaction at minimum 10-year follow-up. The procedure is durable, with no failures in the presented cohort.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of different head sizes (28-, 32-, and 36- millimeter) in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) at mean 6 years follow-up (range, 1 to 17.5 years). METHODS This was a retrospective consecutive study of primary THA at our institution (2003 to 2019). Demographic and surgical data were collected. The primary outcome measures were all-cause revision, revision for dislocation, and all-cause revision excluding dislocation. Continuous descriptive statistics used means, median values, ranges, and 95% confidence intervals, where appropriate. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to estimate time to revision. Cox proportional hazard regression analyses were used to compare revision rates between the femoral head size groups. Adjustments were made for age at surgery, sex, primary diagnosis, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, articulation type, and fixation methods. There were 10,104 primary THAs included; median age was 69 years (range, 13 to 101) with 61.5% women. A posterior approach was performed in 71.6%. There were 3,295 hips with 28-mm heads (32.6%), 4,858 (48.1%) with 32-mm heads, and 1,951 (19.3%) with 36-mm heads. RESULTS Overall rate of revision was 1.7% with the lowest rate recorded for the 36-mm group (2.7 versus 1.3 versus 1.1%). Cox regression analyses showed a decreased risk of all-cause revision for 32 and 36-mm head sizes as compared to 28-mm; this was statistically significant for the 32-mm group (P = .01). Risk of revision for dislocation was significantly reduced in both 32-mm (P = .03) and 36-mm (P = .03) head sizes. Analysis of all cause revision excluding dislocation showed no significant differences between head sizes. CONCLUSIONS We found a significantly reduced risk of revision for all causes, but particularly revision for dislocation with larger head sizes. Concerns regarding increased risk of early revision for aseptic loosening, polyethylene wear, or taper corrosion with larger heads appear to be unfounded in this cohort of 10,104 patients with up to 17 years follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between menopausal status and clinical outcomes of female patients with carpal tunnel release (CTR) has been not clearly investigated. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of CTR among women with different menopausal statuses. METHODS Two hundred-eighteen consecutive female patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) who underwent surgery at our hospital between May 2016 and May 2020 were included in this study. Based on whether subjects had undergone menopause before surgery, they were divided into three groups: the premenopausal group, the early postmenopausal group (less than 10 years since menopause) and the late postmenopausal group (more than 10 years since menopause). The clinical outcome was assessed before surgery and at six-month postoperative visits using the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ). RESULTS There were 86 patients in the premenopausal group, 70 patients in the early postmenopausal group and 62 patients in the late postmenopausal group. All the groups showed significant improvements in their Symptom Severity Scale (SSS) and Functional Status Scale (FSS) compared with preoperative scores. Although, there was a significant difference between the groups based and post-surgical SSS and FSS (p < 0.05). Patients in the postmenopausal group had less improvement in SSS and FSS in comparison with those in the other groups (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our results showed that all the groups had significant improvement in their SSS and FSS. However, the clinical outcomes were poorer in late postmenopausal patients than in premenopausal or early postmenopausal patients. These findings can be used in pre-operative counseling and interpretation of outcomes in women with CTR.

Abstract
Achondroplasia (ACH) is a rare, autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasia characterized by short stature, characteristic facial configuration, and trident hands. Before vosoritide approval in Japan, patients with ACH could start growth hormone (GH) treatment at age 3 years. However, ACH and its treatment in young Japanese children have not been studied. This retrospective, longitudinal, medical records-based cohort study (before vosoritide approval) summarized symptoms, complications, monitoring, surgery/interventions, and height with/without GH in Japanese patients with ACH <5 years. Complications were observed in 89.2% of all 37 patients; 75.7% required surgery or intervention. All patients were monitored by magnetic resonance imaging; 73.0% had foramen magnum stenosis, while 54.1% had Achondroplasia Foramen Magnum Score 3 or 4. Of 28 GH-treated patients, 22 initiating at age 3 years were generally taller after 12 months versus 9 non-GH-treated patients. Mean annual growth velocity significantly increased from age 2 to 3 versus 3 to 4 years in GH-treated patients (4.37 vs. 7.23 cm/year; p = 0.0014), but not in non-GH-treated patients (4.94 vs. 4.20 cm/year). The mean height at age 4 years with/without GH was 83.6/79.8 cm. These results improve our understanding of young patients with ACH in Japan and confirm that early diagnosis of ACH and monitoring of complications help facilitate appropriate interventions.

Abstract
Background Data on the results and management strategies in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) in the Low and Lower-Middle Income Countries (LLMICs) are limited. This lack of understanding of the situation partially hinders the development of effective cardiogenic shock treatment programs in this part of the world. Materials and methods The Ukrainian Multicentre Cardiogenic Shock Registry was analyzed, covering patient data from 2021 to 2022 in 6 major Ukrainian reperfusion centres from different parts of the country. Analysis was focusing on outcomes, therapeutic modalities and mortality predictors in AMI-CS patients. Results We analyzed data from 221 consecutive patients with CS from 6 hospitals across Ukraine. The causes of CS were ST-elevated myocardial infarction (85.1%), non-ST-elevated myocardial infarction (5.9%), decompensated chronic heart failure (7.7%) and arrhythmia (1.3%), with a total in-hospital mortality rate for CS of 57.1%. The prevalence of CS was 6.3% of all AMI with reperfusion rate of 90.5% for AMI-CS. In 23.5% of cases, CS developed in the hospital after admission. Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) utilization was 19.9% using intra-aortic balloon pump alone. Left main stem occlusion, reperfusion deterioration, Charlson Comorbidity Index >4, and cardiac arrest were found to be independent predictors for hospital mortality in AMI-СS. Conclusions Despite the wide adoption of primary percutaneous coronary intervention as the main reperfusion strategy for AMI, СS remains a significant problem in LLMICs, associated with high in-hospital mortality. There is an unmet need for the development and implementation of a nationwide protocol for CS management and the creation of reference CS centers based on the country-wide reperfusion network, equipped with modern technologies for MCS.

Abstract
Introduction Since February 2020, over 104 million people in the United States have been diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection, or COVID-19, with over 8.5 million reported in the state of Texas. This study analyzed social determinants of health as predictors for readmission among COVID-19 patients in Southeast Texas, United States. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted investigating demographic and clinical risk factors for 30, 60, and 90-day readmission outcomes among adult patients with a COVID-19-associated inpatient hospitalization encounter within a regional health information exchange between February 1, 2020, to December 1, 2022. Results and discussion In this cohort of 91,007 adult patients with a COVID-19-associated hospitalization, over 21% were readmitted to the hospital within 90 days (n = 19,679), and 13% were readmitted within 30 days (n = 11,912). In logistic regression analyses, Hispanic and non-Hispanic Asian patients were less likely to be readmitted within 90 days (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 0.8, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.7-0.9, and aOR: 0.8, 95% CI: 0.8-0.8), while non-Hispanic Black patients were more likely to be readmitted (aOR: 1.1, 95% CI: 1.0-1.1, p = 0.002), compared to non-Hispanic White patients. Area deprivation index displayed a clear dose-response relationship to readmission: patients living in the most disadvantaged neighborhoods were more likely to be readmitted within 30 (aOR: 1.1, 95% CI: 1.0-1.2), 60 (aOR: 1.1, 95% CI: 1.2-1.2), and 90 days (aOR: 1.2, 95% CI: 1.1-1.2), compared to patients from the least disadvantaged neighborhoods. Our findings demonstrate the lasting impact of COVID-19, especially among members of marginalized communities, and the increasing burden of COVID-19 morbidity on the healthcare system.

Abstract
The clinical laboratory is often evaluated for the volume of testing. However, it is undeniable that laboratory tests affect clinical decision-making and are included in many clinical guidelines, meaning their contribution to determining clinical outcomes. Therefore, the clinical laboratory professional has the task of enhancing laboratory tests by optimizing the request and reporting phase and addressing patient outcomes. This opinion paper, presenting practical examples of managing value-based health care in the clinical laboratory context, underlines the need to shift towards value-based management to optimize outcome-based health care.

Abstract
Symptom management remains challenging in cancer care. Emerging from nutritional science, nutritional metabolomics has seen exponential growth over recent years, aiming to discern the relationship between dietary habits and health consequences. This protocol aims to present the rationale and methodology for conducting a scoping review to summarize the extent of evidence on synbiotics utilization in cancer symptom management among adults. The scoping review will be undertaken in accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) principles and the research process guided by the PRISMA 2020 scoping reviews extension. The following electronic databases will be searched from the inception: PubMed, Cinahl, Web of Science and Scopus. The authors expect to map the literature regarding the clinical outcomes, including patient-report measures and patient-experience measures, on which the effects of probiotics were tested, and identify potential gaps. This protocol presents a rigorous methodological approach to map the literature on the clinical outcomes that the utilization of synbiotics might improve. This analysis will shape future researchers to examine the efficacy of probiotics on specific clinical outcomes in oncology care. Nurses are uniquely positioned to influence cancer symptom management through the selection and use of appropriate interventions in the field of nutritional supplements, along with nutritional counseling.

Abstract
The initial clinical manifestation of acute mesenteric ischemia poses a diagnostic challenge, often leading to delays in identification and subsequent surgical intervention, contributing to adverse outcomes. Serum biomarkers, offering insights into the underlying pathophysiology, hold promise as prognostic indicators for acute mesenteric ischemia. This systematic review comprehensively explores the role of blood biomarkers in predicting clinical outcomes during follow-up for patients with mesenteric ischemia. A thorough literature search across the PubMed, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE databases yielded 33 relevant publications investigating the efficacy of serum biomarkers in predicting outcomes for mesenteric ischemia. Numerous studies underscore the utility of blood biomarkers in swiftly and accurately differentiating between causes of mesenteric ischemia, facilitating a prompt diagnosis. Elevated levels of specific biomarkers, particularly D-dimers, consistently correlate with heightened mortality risk and poorer clinical outcomes. While certain serum indicators exhibit substantial potential in associating with mesenteric ischemia, further research through rigorous human trials is imperative to enhance their consistent predictive ability during the follow-up period. This study underscores the diagnostic and prognostic significance of specific biomarkers for mesenteric ischemia, emphasizing the necessity for standardized procedures in future investigations.

Abstract
Purpose The primary objective of this study was to identify new risk factors and to confirm previously reported risk factors associated with 30-day mortality after hip fracture surgery. Patients and methods A prospective hip fracture database was used to obtain data. In total, 3523 patients who underwent hip fracture surgery between 2011 and 2021 were included. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression was used to screen and identify candidate risk factors. Twenty-seven baseline factors and 16 peri-operative factors were included in the univariable analysis and 28 of those factors were included in multivariable analysis. Results 8.6% of the patients who underwent hip fracture surgery died within 30 days after surgery. Prognostic factors associated with 30-day mortality after hip fracture surgery were as follows: age 90-100 years (OR = 4.7, 95% CI: 1.07-19.98, p = 0.041) and above 100 years (OR = 11.3, 95% CI: 1.28-100.26, p = 0.029), male gender (OR = 2.6, 95% CI: 1.97-3.33, p < 0.001), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) 3 and ASA 4 (OR = 2.1, 95% CI: 1.44-3.14, p < 0.001), medical history of dementia (OR = 1.7, 95% CI: 1.25-2.36, p = 0.001), decreased albumin level (OR = 0.94, 95% CI: 0.92-0.97, p < 0.001), decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (OR = 0.98, 95% CI: 0.98-0.99, p < 0.001), residential status of nursing home (OR = 2.1, 95% CI: 1.44-2.87, p < 0.001), higher Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living (KATZ-ADL) score (OR = 1.1, 95% CI: 1.01-1.16, p=0.018) and postoperative pneumonia (OR = 2.4, 95% CI: 1.72-3.38, p < 0.001). Conclusion A high mortality rate in patients after acute hip fracture surgery is known. Factors that are associated with an increased mortality are age above 90 years, male gender, ASA 3 and ASA 4, medical history of dementia, decreased albumin, decreased GFR, residential status of nursing home, higher KATZ-ADL score and postoperative pneumonia.

Abstract
Background The principles of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) aim to reduce the physiological stress of surgery which in turn improve clinical and health economic outcomes. There is ample evidence in literature supporting ERAS methodologies in other surgical specialties, but its adoption in spinal surgery, especially in Australia remains in infancy. The aim of this project is to describe the early experience with an evidence-based ERAS pathway for simple spine surgery, a first of its kind in Australia. Methods An ERAS protocol was designed using an evidenced-based review of the literature. The authors then conducted a prospective cohort analysis looking at outcome of patients undergoing elective spinal (lumbar and cervical) decompression surgery under ERAS principles by a single surgeon on the Westmead Hospital Campus between March 2021 to May 2023. Primary outcomes were patient length of stay (LOS), patient reported pain and disability scores and complications (including readmissions within 30 days and re-operation within 6 months). Secondary outcomes included predictors of failure for same-day discharge. Results A total of 52 patients underwent spinal decompression surgeries under the ERAS protocol. Overall 43 out of 52 patients (83.7%) were successfully discharged on the same day as their surgery. Patient reported outcomes were improved at 6 weeks and 6 months confirming durability of intervention. The rates of complications were similar to literature reported rates for simple lumbar or cervical decompression procedures and there were no readmissions within 30 days or re-operations within 6 months of surgery. Being of non-English speaking background [odds ratio (OR) =6.08, P=0.04] and from home alone (OR =10.25, P=0.03) were predictors of failure of same day discharge in this small cohort. Conclusions Implementation of ERAS protocols for simple spinal decompression surgeries is feasible and produces durable improved patient outcomes while reducing LOS in hospitals. Patient social factors can be predictive of lack of compliance.

Abstract
Introduction Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is predominantly upregulated in various tumor microenvironments and scarcely expressed in normal tissues. Methods We analyzed FAP across 1216 tissue samples covering 23 tumor types and 70 subtypes. Results Elevated FAP levels were notable in breast, pancreatic, esophageal, and lung cancers. Using immunohistochemistry and RNAseq, a correlation between FAP gene and protein expression was found. Evaluating FAP's clinical significance, we assessed 29 cohorts from 12 clinical trials, including both mono and combination therapies with the PD-L1 inhibitor atezolizumab and chemotherapy. A trend links higher FAP expression to poorer prognosis, particularly in RCC, across both treatment arms. However, four cohorts showed improved survival with high FAP, while in four others, FAP had no apparent survival impact. Conclusions Our results emphasize FAP's multifaceted role in therapy response, suggesting its potential as a cancer immunotherapy biomarker.

Abstract
Introduction: Delayed graft function in kidney transplant is associated with an increased risk of rejection and graft loss. Use of rabbit antithymocyte globulin induction in delayed graft function has been correlated with less rejection compared to basiliximab, but optimal dosing remains unknown. Program Evaluation Aims: The purpose of this evaluation was to retrospectively assess the short-term effectiveness and tolerability of a clinical protocol that increased the net state of immunosuppression in delayed graft function kidney transplant recipients using cumulative 6 mg/kg rabbit antithymocyte globulin induction. Design: This retrospective cohort included 88 kidney transplant recipients with delayed graft function, transplanted between January 2017 and March 2021, who either received cumulative 4.5 mg/kg pre-protocol or 6 mg/kg post-protocol rabbit antithymocyte globulin. Outcomes evaluated were biopsy-proven acute rejection and incidence of graft loss, infection, and cytopenia at 6 months. Results: A significant reduction of biopsy-proven acute rejection incidence occurred post-protocol implementation (10/33, 30.3% vs 6/55, 10.9%; P = .04). Of those with rejection, significantly less post-protocol patients were classified as acute cellular rejection (9/10, 90.0% vs 2/6, 33.3%; P = .04). No death-censored graft loss was observed in either group. Rates of cytopenia and infection were similar pre- versus post-protocol implementation. Conclusion: Increasing the exposure to rabbit antithymocyte globulin and maintenance immunosuppression in delayed graft function kidney transplant recipients was tolerable and significantly reduced rejection occurrence at 6 months.

Abstract
Introduction: Transplantation is a field with unique medical and administrative challenges that involve an equally diverse array of stakeholders. Expectantly, the litigation stemming from this field should be similarly nuanced. There is a paucity of comprehensive reviews characterizing this medicolegal landscape. Design: The Caselaw Access Project Database was used to collect official court briefs of 2053 lawsuits related to kidney, liver, heart, lung, and pancreas transplantation. A thematic analysis was undertaken to characterize grounds for litigation, defendant type, and outcomes. Cases were grouped into policy, discrimination, poor or unsuccessful outcome, or other categories. Results: One hundred sixty-four court cases were included for analysis. Cases involving disputes over policy coverage were the most common across all organ types (N = 55, 33.5%). This was followed by poor outcomes (N = 51, 31.1%), allegations of discrimination against prison systems and employers (N = 37, 22.6%) and other (N = 21, 12.8%). Defendants involved in discrimination trials won with the greatest frequency (N = 29, 90.62%). Defendants implicated in policy suits won 65.3% (N = 32), poor outcomes 62.2% (N = 28), and other 70% (N = 14). Of the 51 cases involving poor outcomes, plaintiffs indicated lack of informed consent in 23 (45.1%). Conclusion: Reconsidering the informed consent process may be a viable means of mitigating future legal action. Most discrimination suits favoring defendants suggested previous concerns of structural injustices in transplantation may not be founded. The prevalence of policy-related cases could be an indication of financial burden on patients. Future work and advocacy will need to substantiate these concerns and address change where legal recourse falls short.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the impact of short-term incubation (STI) protocol on clinical outcomes of bloodstream infection (BSI) patients. METHODS A total of 1363 positive blood culture records from January 2019 to December 2021 were included. The main clinical outcomes included pathogen identification turnaround time (TAT), antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) TAT, and length of total hospital stay. RESULTS The TAT of pathogen identification and AST significantly decreased after implementing the STI protocol (2.2 vs 1.4 days and 3.4 vs 2.5 days, respectively, with P < .001 for both). Moreover, for patients with Gram-negative bacteria (GNB)-infected BSIs, the length of total hospital stay decreased from 31.9 days to 27.1 days, indicating that these patients could be discharged 5 days earlier after implementing the STI protocol (P < .01). CONCLUSION The protocol led to a significant reduction in TAT and improved clinical outcomes, particularly for GNB organisms. The findings suggest that the STI protocol can improve patient outcomes and hospital resource utilization in the management of BSIs.

Abstract
Introduction: Avascular necrosis is a debilitating osseous complication in transplant recipients. Project Aim: This program evaluation sought to describe risk factors and adverse outcomes of avascular necrosis in kidney transplant recipients. Design: This was a retrospective evaluation of all recipients of kidneys and simultaneous pancreas and kidneys between 2001 and 2018 from a single center. Controls were selected based on the incidence density, sampling at a 1:3 ratio based on the post-transplant interval. Outcomes of interest were acute rejection, death-censored graft failure, and patient mortality. Results: A total of 88 kidney recipients had avascular necrosis and were compared with 257 controls. Most of the recipient's and donors' baseline characteristics were similar between the groups, except calcineurin inhibitor-based immunosuppression was more prevalent, and non-white donors were less prevalent in the control group. Looking for risk factors for avascular necrosis, calcineurin inhibitor-based immunosuppression was associated with a lower risk for avascular necrosis in the univariate analysis, but this was not found after adjustment of multiple variables. In multivariate analysis, avascular necrosis was associated with an increased risk for patient death (hazard ratio: 1.68; 95% confidence interval: 1.16-2.44; P = .008) but not for acute rejection or death censored graft failure. Conclusion: Although limited by small sample size, this evaluation found avascular necrosis to be associated with an increased risk of patient death. This finding may be useful for the provider taking care of the patients and discussing the various outcomes after the transplant.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Co-infection with HIV and mpox is a significant issue for public health because of the potential combined impact on clinical outcomes. However, the existing literature lacks a comprehensive synthesis of the available evidence. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to provide insight into the impact of HIV and mpox co-infection on clinical outcomes. METHODS We systematically searched major electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central, and Web of Science) for pertinent studies published up to June 2023. Included were studies that described the clinical outcomes of people who had both mpox and HIV. We performed the analysis using OpenMeta and STATA 17 software. RESULTS With an overall number of participants of 35 207, 21 studies that met the inclusion criteria were considered. The greatest number of the studies (n = 10) were cohort designs, with three being cross-sectional and eight being case series studies. The meta-analysis found that people who had both HIV and mpox had a higher hospitalization rate than those who only had mpox (odds ratio [OR] 1.848; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.918-3.719, p = 0.085, I2 = 60.19%, p = 0.020). Furthermore, co-infected patients had higher mortality rates than those who did not have HIV co-infection (OR 3.887; 95% CI 2.272-6.650, p < 0.001). Meta-regression analysis showed that CD4 levels can significantly predict the risk of hospitalization (p = 0.016) and death (p = 0.031). DISCUSSION HIV causes immunosuppression, making it difficult for the body to mount an effective immune response against pathogens such as mpox. Individuals who are co-infected are at a higher risk of severe disease and death, according to our findings. Although hospitalization rates did not differ significantly between the two groups, it is critical to prioritize interventions and improve management strategies tailored specifically for people living with HIV. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis provides substantial evidence that HIV and mpox co-infection has a negative impact on clinical outcomes. Co-infected individuals had higher hospitalization and significantly higher mortality rates. These findings highlight the significance of early diagnosis, prompt treatment initiation, and effective management strategies for people living with HIV and mpox.

Abstract
Background Surgical treatment of musculoskeletal tumors in the periacetabular region present extremely difficult due to the complex anatomy and need for reconstruction. Orthopedic surgeons face more difficulties in patients with neurological conditions, which can cause increased muscle tone, an elevated risk of fractures, and compromised bone quality. There is limited evidence regarding endoprosthetic reconstruction for periacetabular tumors in individuals with neurological disorders. Methods We conducted a single-center retrospective study to examine the outcomes of patients with preexisting neurological conditions who underwent surgery to remove periacetabular tumors and who underwent endoprosthesis reconstruction. Clinical presentation, detailed neurological conditions, complications, and functional outcomes were studied. Results Sixteen out of the 838 patients were identified (1.91%), with a mean follow-up time of 33 months. The primary neurological conditions encompassed Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and cerebral ischemic stroke. Every patient was diagnosed with periacetabular lesions that were either primary or oligometastatic. They underwent tumor resection and subsequently received endoprosthetic reconstruction of the hemipelvis. Three patients developed metastasis lesions later, and two patients experienced tumor recurrence. Five cases experienced hip dislocation-one with periprosthetic fracture and one with surgical site infection. The position of the prosthetic rotating center was not correlated with dislocation. The reoperation rate was 31.25%. The cohort of patients all presented with more extended hospital stays and rehabilitation. In 3 patients, the general functional score was good, while in 6 patients, it was fair; in 7 patients, it was regarded as poor. The average MSTS93 score was 49.71%. Conclusion Endoprosthetic reconstruction after periacetabular tumor resection is an effective way to eliminate tumors and salvage limbs. However, this group of patients has an increased likelihood of secondary surgery, complications, extended hospital stay, and no significant improvement in functional outcomes. Despite the diverse nature of the cohort, it is recommended to consider enhanced soft tissue reconstruction, supervised functional recovery and rehabilitation training.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Robot-guided lumbar spine surgery has evolved rapidly with evidence to support its utility and feasibility compared with conventional freehand and fluoroscopy-based techniques. The objective of this study was to assess trends among the top 25 most-cited articles pertaining to robotic-guided lumbar spine surgery. METHODS An "advanced document search" using Boolean search operator terms was performed on 16 November 2022 through the Web of Science and SCOPUS citation databases to determine the top 25 most-referenced articles on robotic lumbar spine surgery. The articles were compiled into a directory and hierarchically organized based on the total number of citations. RESULTS Cumulatively, the "Top 25" list for robot-assisted navigation in lumbar spine surgery received 2240 citations, averaging 97.39 citations annually. The number of citations ranged from 221 to 40 for the 25 most-cited articles. The most-cited study, by Kantelhardt et al, received 221 citations, averaging 18 citations per year. CONCLUSIONS As utilization of robot-guided modalities in lumbar spine surgery increases, this review highlights the most impactful studies to support its efficacy and implementation. Practical considerations such as cost-effectiveness, however, need to be better defined through further longitudinal studies that evaluate patient-reported outcomes and cost-utility. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Through an overview of the top 25 most-cited articles, the present review highlights the rising prominence and technical efficacy of robotic-guided systems within lumbar spine surgery, with consideration to pragmatic limitations and need for additional data to facilitate cost-effective applications.

Abstract
The minimalistic hybrid approach (MHA) is a recently proposed algorithm to perform chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), reducing the overall invasiveness of the procedure without impacting the acute results. However, data on midterm results are lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the midterm clinical outcomes of a multicenter international cohort of CTO PCI treated according to the MHA. Data from a consecutive series of patients with a CTO who underwent PCI according to the MHA between February 2019 and March 2022 were prospectively collected in 3 European centers and retrospectively analyzed. The main outcome was the first occurrence of a major adverse cardiac event (MACE), defined as a composite outcome of all-cause death, any myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization, at the last follow-up available. A total of 212 patients were included. The majority of the patients were symptomatic for angina (Canadian Cardiovascular Society class 2 or 3: 63.7%) at the time of the index procedure. The mean Japanese-CTO and CASTLE scores were 2.1 ± 1.2 and 2.0 ± 1.3, respectively. Technical success (CTO open with optimal flow) was achieved in 198 patients (93.9%) and procedural success (technical success without in-hospital MACEs) in 195 (91.9%). At the last follow-up available (median 677 days), the cumulative incidence rate of MACEs was 11.5%; in particular, all-cause death was 7.4%, any myocardial infarction was 4.3%, and unplanned target vessel revascularization was 6.5%. In conclusion, the midterm results of the MHA seem to be in line with contemporary results of other CTO PCI algorithms, thus potentially validating the MHA as a valuable alternative, provided that interventionalists are already expert CTO operators and accustomed to the definitions and peculiarities of MHA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial protection during operations with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and aortic cross clamping is vital. For this purpose, Del Nido (DN) and Custodiol cardioplegia (CC) solutions are used for single-dose cardioplegia in cardiac surgical procedures with CPB. Present study aimed to compare the effects of DN and CC on peri-operative clinical outcomes in pediatrics with Tetralogy of Fallot (TF) undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. METHODS Present randomized clinical trial was performed in two trial groups with parallel design. One group received DN and another group received CC. We assessed circulatory Troponin-I (cTnI) and coronary sinus lactate level as primary outcomes. Secondary outcomes were ventilation time, electrolytes levels, pump time, cross-clamp time and other clinical parameters. RESULTS Duration of CPB and cross-clamp were the same in both groups. There were no significant differences in hemodynamic parameters, left ventricular ejection fraction after the surgery and discharge time between the two trial groups. Ventilation time (8.5 vs. 18; p = 0.001), ICU stay, Troponin-I in ICU admission and Coronary sinus lactate level (p = 0.001) were significantly higher among patients of Custodiol group compared to other trial group. Electrolytes Na, Cl and K levels, during CPB, were significantly less in Custodiol group. CONCLUSION When used for inducing cardiac arrest during CPB, DN solution offers better maintenance of the electrolyte balance during CPB, and is associated with less circulatory cTnI and coronary sinus lactate level compared with the CC.

Abstract
Background Complex percutaneous coronary intervention (C-PCI) and high platelet reactivity (HPR) have been proposed as representative risk factors for the high ischemic phenotype. Uncertainty remains regarding the relative prognostic importance of these factors. Objectives This study aimed to investigate the prognostic implication of HPR according to procedural complexity. Methods Patients treated with drug-eluting stent implantation (PTRG-PFT cohort; N = 11,714) were classified according to procedural complexity. HPR criteria were determined using VerifyNow (≥252 P2Y12 reaction units). The major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) (the composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, definite stent thrombosis, or stroke) and major bleeding were assessed for up to 3 years. Results C-PCI was performed in 3,152 patients (26.9%). C-PCI significantly increased the risk of MACCE (HRadjusted: 1.21; 95% CI: 1.01-1.44; P = 0.035), driven by a higher rate of all-cause death (HRadjusted: 1.45; 95% CI: 1.15-1.83; P = 0.002), although it did not increase the risk of major bleeding. Irrespective of procedural complexity, the HPR phenotype was significantly associated with MACCE (Pinteraction = 0.731) and all-cause mortality (Pinteraction = 0.978), in which the prognostic implication appeared prominent within 1 year. The HPR phenotype did not show a significant interaction with any type of C-PCI. In addition, the number of complexity features per procedure did not proportionally increase the risk of MACCE. Conclusions C-PCI was significantly associated with 3-year risk of MACCE and all-cause death. The HPR phenotype appears to have a similar prognostic implication irrespective of the type and extent of procedural complexity.
