Complications in abdominal surgery: Assessment, prediction and prevention

Predicting postoperative acute kidney injury after colorectal cancer surgery: development and internal validation of a clinical prediction model using a nationwide cohort

Abstract Background Postoperative acute kidney injury (PO-AKI) occurs in 8–20% of patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery and is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. A prediction model can help in the identification of high-risk patients and guide clinicians in implementing preventive measures. The...

Acutely kidney injury in the postoperative period of elective colorectal surgery: assessment of the age influence

ABSTRACT Background: The increase in life expectancy and the development of comorbidities bring a higher rate of complications and mortality in the postoperative period of surgical procedures in general. Among these associations, elective colorectal surgery and acute kidney injury are notable. Aims: To analyze risk fac...

Early Detection of Morbidity following Liver Resection by Serum Arterial Lactate Concentration: A Cross-sectional Study

Background: Liver resection is a technically demanding procedure with a relatively high risk of morbidity. Identifying reliable early predictors of postoperative complications is essential for timely intervention and improved outcomes. Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of initial serum arterial l...

Prediction model for severe complications in patients with failed conservative treatment of acute intestinal obstruction based on clinical and imaging features: development and validation

To develop and validate a prediction model based on clinical and imaging features for identifying high-risk patients who develop Clavien–Dindo grade ≥ IIIa severe complications (including intestinal necrosis, perforation, sepsis, and reoperation) after failed non-operative management (NOM) of acute intestinal obs...

Early prediction of severe morbidity after liver resection using serum albumin and ALBI-score in a mixed patient cohort

Early identification of patients at risk for severe morbidity after liver resection (LR) remains challenging. Serum albumin and albumin–bilirubin (ALBI) score reflect liver function, but their prognostic value in the immediate postoperative period is not well defined. This study evaluated perioperative serum albumin an...
