A preoperative risk prediction model for 30-day mortality following cardiac surgery in an Australian cohort.
BACKGROUND Population-specific risk models are required to build consumer and provider confidence in clinical service delivery, particularly when the risks may be life-threatening. Cardiac surgery carries such risks. Currently, there is no model developed on the Australian cardiac surgery population and this article presents a novel risk prediction model for the Australian cohort with the aim t...
متن کاملPreoperative prediction of intensive care unit stay following cardiac surgery.
OBJECTIVE Following cardiac surgery, a great variety in intensive care unit (ICU) stay is observed, making it often difficult to adequately predict ICU stay preoperatively. Therefore, a study was conducted to investigate, which preoperative variables are independent risk factors for a prolonged ICU stay and whether a patient's risk of experiencing an extended ICU stay can be estimated from thes...
متن کاملPreoperative prediction of pulmonary complications following thoracic surgery.
The ability of preoperative quality-of-life and physiologic variables to predict postoperative complications was tested in 117 consecutive patients undergoing thoracotomy for possible or definite lung cancer. Preoperatively, quality of life was globally assessed by the QLI and Sickness Impact Profile. Dyspnea was assessed by the Clinical Dyspnea Index and a modified Pneumoconiosis Research Unit...
متن کاملPreoperative chemoradiotherapy for esophageal or junctional cancer.
BACKGROUND The role of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of patients with esophageal or esophagogastric-junction cancer is not well established. We compared chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery with surgery alone in this patient population. METHODS We randomly assigned patients with resectable tumors to receive surgery alone or weekly administration of carboplatin (doses titrate...
متن کاملUsefulness of serum protein profiling for prediction of preoperative chemoradiosensitivity of esophageal cancer.
We examined whether serum protein profiling is a reliable index for prediction of therapeutic efficacy of preoperative chemoradiotherapy (PCRT) in advanced esophageal cancer compared with evaluation of the efficacy of conventional clinical examination. We entered 42 patients who received PCRT and surgery between 1998 and 2002 into this study. Serum protein profiling was performed using the preo...
