In-hospital mortality and morbidity of pediatric scoliosis surgery in Japan: Analysis using a national inpatient database
Several previous reports have elucidated the mortality and incidence of complications after pediatric scoliosis surgery using nationwide databases. However, all of these studies were conducted in North America. Hence, this study aimed to identify the incidence and risk factors for in-hospital mortality and morbidity in pediatric scoliosis surgery, utilizing the Diagnosis Procedure Combination database, a national inpatient database in Japan. We retrospectively extracted data for patients aged less than 19 years who were admitted between 01 June 2010 and 31 March 2013 and underwent scoliosis surgery with fusion. The primar...

Mortality and Morbidity of Surgical Management of Geriatric Ankle Fractures.
DISCUSSION: After controlling for comorbidities (ie, the ASA class), no increased risk is observed for the 30-day mortality or complication rate between geriatric ankle fracture in the 65 to 79 years old and the 80 to 99 years old age groups. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Prognostic level III, retrospective study. PMID: 32769723 [PubMed - in process]

Comparison of Extramedullary and Intramedullary Implants for Stable Intertrochanteric Fractures: Have We Swung the Pendulum Too Far the Other Way?
DISCUSSION: Our study found that extramedullary implants were associated with lower transfusions rates, lower readmissions, and better patient disposition. We recommend surgeons to consider extramedullary implants when treating stable IT fractures, especially if the patient is anemic or at high risk for hospital readmission.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III. Retrospective cohort study.PMID:35196299 | DOI:10.5435/JAAOS-D-21-00657

Neurosurgery Morbidity and Mortality: A Prospective Surgical and Medical Analysis
CONCLUSION: The mortality and morbidity analysis provided valuable neurosurgical information that may influence future treatment management and corrective recommendations. Indication and judgment errors were significantly associated with mortality. In our study, the patients' comorbidities were not significant for mortality or increased length of stay.PMID:36941096
