Multicenter Study Observational Study
Sex dependence of postoperative pulmonary complications - A post hoc unmatched and matched analysis of LAS VEGAS.
Male sex has inconsistently been associated with the development of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). These studies were different in size, design, population and preoperative risk. We reanalysed the database of 'Local ASsessment of Ventilatory management during General Anaesthesia for Surgery study' (LAS VEGAS) to evaluate differences between females and males with respect to PPCs. ⋯ LAS VEGAS was registered at clinicaltrial.gov (study identifier NCT01601223).

Multicenter Study Observational Study
Evaluating prevalence and trajectory of functional disability in older surgical patients: An observational cohort study.
To (1) estimate the prevalence and trajectory of functional disability exceeding patient-acceptable and clinically significant levels in older surgical patients preoperatively and at 30, 90, and 180 days postoperatively, (2) identify risk factors associated with postoperative functional disability, and (3) compare adverse clinical outcomes between participants with and without functional disability. ⋯ Patients with preoperative functional disability experienced greater postoperative improvement in functional disability than the No-disability group. Preoperative evaluation of functional disability informs perioperative care and recovery for patients and clinicians.

Review Meta Analysis
Efficacy and safety of neuraxial hydromorphone: A systematic review and meta-analysis with trial sequential analysis.
Neuraxial hydromorphone provides postoperative pain relief. However, the magnitude of this effect and the optimal dose remain unknown. The objective of this study is to clarify these uncertainties. ⋯ If neuraxial hydromorphone is to be used regularly, trials focusing on the optimal dose and side-effects should be performed before widely administering this medication into the neuraxial space. More trials focusing on the optimal dose and side-effects should be performed before widely administering this medication into the neuraxial space.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Postoperative quality of recovery comparison between ciprofol and propofol in total intravenous anesthesia for elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic major abdominal surgery: A randomized, controlled, double-blind, non-inferiority trial.
We conducted a non-inferiority study to assess the postoperative quality of recovery (QoR) in elderly patients receiving ciprofol or propofol total intravenous anesthersia(TIVA)after elective laparoscopic major abdominal surgery, with QoR-15 scores as the main measure. ⋯ Ciprofol is not inferior to propofol in QoR. Ciprofol can be suitably administered to elderly patients undergoing elective laparoscopic major abdominal surgery.
