2. 1. Waiting time and mortality in coronary artery bypass grafting patients

   Author : Helena Rexius; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : coronary artery bypass grafting; waiting time; mortality; gender; risk score;

   Abstract : Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) has emerged as one of the most common major surgical procedures worldwide. Unfortunately the capacity is still unable to meet the demand in many countries. This leads to waiting times before surgery, prioritisation between patients and ultimately to deaths among the patients on the waiting list.Aims: 1. READ MORE

4. 2. The Association Between Beta-Blocker Therapy and Mortality in Hip Fracture Patients

   Author : Ahmad Mohammad Ismail; Shahin Mohseni; Rebecka Ahl; Per Wretenberg; Tomas Borg; Björn Rosengren; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Trauma; Hip Fracture; Beta-Blocker; Hyperadrenergic State; Stress; Mortality;

   Abstract : Hip fractures have been a major concern within the healthcare systems for many years. National efforts have been done to improve the overall outcomes during the last decades. Despite this, the mortality rates one year after hip fracture surgery are as high as 27% and have remained high the past 15 years. READ MORE

5. 3. Risk stratification in cardiac surgery: Algorithms and applications

   Author : Johan Nilsson; Thoraxkirurgi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Cardiovascular system; Cardiac surgery; Statistics; Artificial neural networks; Resource utilization; Mortality; Risk factors; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

   Abstract : The aims of this research was to compare different risk score algorithms with regard to their validity to predict 30-day and one-year mortality after open-heart surgery, to evaluate if the preoperative risk stratification model EuroSCORE predicts the different components of resource utilization in cardiac surgery, and to systematically evaluate the accuracy and performance of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to select and rank the most important risk factors for operative mortality in open-heart surgery. Preoperative evaluation of the surgical risk is an important component in cardiac surgery. READ MORE

6. 4. Identification of the high risk hip fracture patients

   Author : Magnús Hjaltalín Jónsson; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hip fractures; Mortality; Nottingham Hip Fracture Score; POSSUM; P-POSSUM; Biomarkers; Lactate; GDF-15; CA-125; Cystatin C; Creatinine; Shrunken Pore Syndrome;

   Abstract : Background: Hip fractures are common in older individuals entailing considerable risk of morbidity and mortality. Instruments are needed to enhance risk stratification of hip fracture patients. There is limited knowledge of the role of biomarkers as risk prognosticators for mortality in hip fracture patients.

7. 5. The Association Between Beta-Blockade and Clinical Outcomes in the Context of Surgical and Traumatic Stress

   Author : Rebecka Ahl; Shahin Mohseni; Louis Riddez; Göran Wallin; Olle Ljungqvist; Jonathan Tilsed; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Beta-blocker therapy; adrenergic hyperactivity; physiological stress; trauma; depression; colorectal cancer; complications; mortality;

   Abstract : Traumatic injury and major abdominal surgery are areas in general surgery associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. The overall colorectal cancer surgery mortality rate is around 4%, with that for emergency surgery more than twice as high as for planned. Surgical morbidity varies between 25% and 45%. READ MORE
