Development of a prospective biliary dashboard to compare performance and surgical cost
ConclusionData generated from clinical dashboards can inform surgeons as to how they compare to peers regarding quality metrics such as cost, time, and complications. In turn, this may guide strategies to standardize care, optimize efficiency, provide cost savings, and improve outcomes for cholecystectomy procedures. Future application of clinical dashboards can assist surgeons and administrators to define value-based care.Graphical abstract (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Clinical, Laboratory, Radiological, and Genetic Characteristics of Pediatric Patients with Alagille Syndrome
CONCLUSION: ALGS is a rare disorder in Bahrain. Diagnosis is challenging as the disease can be associated with or misdiagnosed as biliary atresia. Patients with ALGS are at high risk of morbidity either by unnecessary intraoperative cholangiogram or unavoidable liver transplantation.PMID:37564457 | PMC:PMC10410416 | DOI:10.4103/abr.abr_201_22 (Source: Biomed Res)
