Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Mortality, perioperative complications and surgical timelines in hip fracture patients: Comparison of the Spanish with the non-Spanish Cohort of the HIP ATTACK-1 trial.
Hip fractures carry a substantial risk of complications and death. This study aimed to report the 90-day incidence of mortality, major perioperative complications and in-hospital timelines after a hip fracture in the Spanish HIP ATTACK-1 trial cohort, comparing with the non-Spanish cohort. ⋯ II.

Multicenter Study Observational Study
Critical care unit bed availability and postoperative outcomes: a multinational cohort study.
Critical care beds are a limited resource, yet research indicates that recommendations for postoperative critical care admission based on patient-level risk stratification are not followed. It is unclear how prioritisation decisions are made in real-world settings and the effect of this prioritisation on outcomes. ⋯ Postoperative critical care admission is variable and related to bed availability. Statistical methods that adjust for unobserved confounding lowered the estimates of harm previously reported to have been associated with postoperative critical care admission. Our findings provide a rationale for a clinical trial which would evaluate any potential benefits for postoperative critical care admission for patients in whom there is no absolute indication for admission.

To determine the interobserver variability for complications of pancreatoduodenectomy as defined by the International Study Group for Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) and others. ⋯ The interobserver variability for the ISGPS-defined complications of pancreatoduodenectomy was too high even though the "within centers" agreement was acceptable. Since these findings will decrease the quality and validity of clinical studies, ISGPS has started efforts aimed at reducing the interobserver variability.

The effect of early surgery on clinical outcomes in proximal femoral fracture patients receiving chronic anticoagulation: A japanese nationwide database study.
Surgery is often delayed in patients with proximal femoral fractures who receive oral anticoagulants, to avoid complications related to perioperative bleeding. However, surgery delay may increase the risk of postoperative mortality. Our primary goal was to understand whether anticoagulated patients benefit from early surgery in terms of survival and perioperative complications. ⋯ Age and comorbidities could explain higher rates of postoperative systemic complications in anticoagulated patients. Nevertheless, overall short-term mortality was similar between the groups. Early surgery was associated with higher rates of surgical complications in DOAC patients. When operated early, patients receiving warfarin were at an increased risk of mortality (p = 0.08) and perioperative blood transfusions.

Influence of Socioeconomic Deprivation on Surgical Outcomes for Patients With Sigmoid Diverticulitis in France: A Multicenter Retrospective Study.
To evaluate the relationship between socioeconomic deprivation and postoperative outcomes in patients who underwent colonic resection for sigmoid diverticulitis (SD). ⋯ This study highlights the potential influence of socioeconomic deprivation on the surgical outcomes of SD. Socioeconomic deprivation should be considered as a risk factor for severe postoperative complications during the preoperative assessment of the patient's medical conditions.
