Prosthesis Choice in Dialysis Patients Undergoing Mitral Valve Replacement
CONCLUSIONS: MVR in dialysis patients carries significant morbidity and increased mid-term mortality. Decreased life-expectancy should be considered in the tailoring of prosthesis choice to dialysis-dependent patients.PMID:37245789 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2023.05.015

MELD-score for risk stratification in cardiac surgery
AbstractThe outcome of the patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is also influenced by the renal and hepatic organ functions. Risk stratification, using scores such as EURO Score II or STS Short-Term Risk Calculator for patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, ignores the quantitative renal and hepatic function; therefore, MELD-Score was applied in these cases. We retrospectively examined patient data using the MELD score as a predictor of mortality. To perform a univariate analysis of the data, patients were classified into three groups based on the MELD Score: MELD ...

Outcomes of Root Enlargement Versus Root Replacement for Aortic Stenosis
CONCLUSIONS: ARE and stentless xenograft ARR for aortic stenosis were associated with comparable postoperative complications, aortic valve reinterventions, freedom from readmission, and 5-year survival.PMID:36584836 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.12.027

Mitral valve surgery via repeat median sternotomy versus right mini ‐thoracotomy: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of clinical outcomes
ConclusionRight MT is a safe alternative to the traditional re-sternotomy for patients who have had previous cardiac surgery. The approach offers a reduced length of hospital stay, ICU stay, and a lower risk of new-onset renal failure requiring dialysis. This review calls for robust trials in the field to further strengthen the evidence.

Females have an increased risk of short ‐term mortality after cardiac surgery compared to males: Insights from a national database
ConclusionFemales in the United Kingdom have an increased risk of short-term mortality after cardiac surgery compared to males. This highlights the need to focus on the understanding of the causes behind these disparities and implementation of strategies to improve outcomes in females.

A Tool to Estimate Risk of 30-day Mortality and Complications After Hip Fracture Surgery: Accurate Enough for Some but Not All Purposes? A Study From the ACS-NSQIP Database
CONCLUSION: The models of mortality and complications we developed may be accurate enough for some uses, especially personalizing informed consent and shared decision-making with patient-specific risk estimates. However, the high false discovery rate suggests the models should not be used to restrict access to surgery for high-risk patients. Deciding which measures of accuracy to prioritize and what is "accurate enough" depends on the clinical question and use of the predictions. Discrimination and calibration are commonly used measures of overall model accuracy but may be poorly suited to certain clinical questions and ap...
