Observational StudyAssociation Between Red Cell Distribution Width and Liver Injury after Cardiac and Aortic Aneurysm Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass.
This study aimed to investigate the association between preoperative red blood cell distribution width (RDW) levels and liver injury (LI) after cardiac surgery, to highlight RDW's usefulness in the early identification and intervention for patients at high risk of LI. ⋯ Preoperative RDW levels are significantly associated with postoperative LI. RDW could serve as a significant useful marker for early detection and intervention in patients at high risk of LI, thereby potentially improving patient outcomes.

Review Meta Analysis
Influence of nitrous oxide added to general anaesthesia on postoperative mortality and morbidity: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a common adjuvant to general anaesthesia. It is also a potent greenhouse gas and causes ozone depletion. We sought to quantify the influence of N2O as an adjuvant to general anaesthesia on postoperative patient outcomes. ⋯ PROSPERO CRD42023443287.

To develop a prediction model for major morbidity and endocrine dysfunction after central pancreatectomy (CP) which could help in tailoring the use of this procedure. ⋯ The proposed risk models help in tailoring the use of CP in patients with symptomatic benign and premalignant lesions in the body and neck of the pancreas (readily available through www.pancreascalculator.com ).

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.
