Multicenter StudyTiming of resumption of beta-blockers after discontinuation of vasopressors is not associated with post-operative atrial fibrillation in critically ill patients recovering from non-cardiac surgery: A retrospective cohort analysis.
Post-operative atrial fibrillation is a complication with high morbidity. In patients on prior-to-admission beta-blockers, early post-operative beta-blockade reduces atrial fibrillation risk; however, this benefit is not studied in hemodynamically unstable patients requiring vasopressors. ⋯ In patients requiring postoperative vasopressors, early beta-blockade did not protect against postoperative atrial fibrillation.

Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Outcome of community- versus hospital-acquired intra-abdominal infections in intensive care unit: a retrospective study.
To compare patients hospitalised in the intensive care unit (ICU) after surgery for community-acquired intra-abdominal infection (CA-IAI) and hospital-acquired intra-abdominal infection (HA-IAI) in terms of mortality, severity and complications. ⋯ CA-IAI group had higher 28-day mortality rate than HA-IAI group. Mortality was similar at 90 days but those with HA-IAI had a prolonged ICU and hospital stay. In addition, they developed more complications.

Multicenter Study
Frailty and long-term postoperative disability trajectories: a prospective multicentre cohort study.
Frailty is associated with early postoperative outcomes. How frailty influences long-term postoperative recovery is poorly described. Our objective was to evaluate the association of frailty with postoperative disability trajectories in the year after surgery. ⋯ Decision-making and care planning should integrate the possible trade-offs between early adverse outcomes with longer-term benefit when frailty is present in older surgical patients.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Surgical Morbidity and Mortality From the Multicenter Randomized Controlled NeoRes II Trial: Standard Versus Prolonged Time to Surgery After Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy for Esophageal Cancer.
To investigate if prolonged TTS after completed nCRT improves postoperative outcomes for esophageal and esophagogastric junction cancer. ⋯ The timing of surgery after completed nCRT for carcinoma of the esophagus or esophagogastric junction, is not of major importance with regard to short-term postoperative outcomes.
