Aggressive resection for primary tumors of the spine are associated with a high rate of adverse events (AEs), but the impact of AEs on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) remains unknown and is critical to the shared decision-making. Our primary objective was to assess the impact of surgical AEs on PROs using an international registry. Assessing the impact on clinical outcomes and identifying risk factors for AEs were our secondary objectives. ⋯ The rate of surgical AEs is considerable in this population. Surgical AEs seem to be associated with a higher number of readmissions, but do not seem to result in significant differences in PROs or in a higher risk of reoperation, mortality, and failure to achieve preplanned margins.

Comparison of Muscle Strength and Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Relation to Cardiovascular and All-Cause Mortality: The Copenhagen City Heart Study.
To compare the association between muscle strength (MS), cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), and all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. ⋯ Both CRF and MS are inversely associated with CVD mortality and all-cause mortality, but of the 2, CRF confers stronger protection.

Evaluate the long-term outcomes of pleurectomy decortication, systemic chemotherapy and prophylactic radiotherapy in pleural mesothelioma (PM). ⋯ P/D is a safe and well-tolerated procedure resulting in no mortality and acceptable morbidity. Most patients can receive radiotherapy and systemic chemotherapy in due time and receive further therapies on relapse, resulting in prolonged survival mainly in those with early-stage epithelioid mesothelioma.

The objective was to investigate the predictive ability of traditional clinical, radiological scores, and combined grading systems for 28-day mortality in patients with nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). ⋯ Although the GCS and Ogilvy-Carter scales effectively distinguished survivors from nonsurvivors, they were not independent predictors of mortality. The WFNS scale was identified as the most reliable predictor of mortality in aneurysmal SAH patients, followed by the mFS and HHS.
