Objectives: We aimed to determine whether inflammatory indexes (II), including the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), the C-reactive protein (CRP) to albumin ratio (CAR), the CRP-lymphocyte ratio (CLR), and the systemic immune-inflammation index (SIII) can be diagnostic for common bile duct stones (CBDSs) excretion before endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).

Backgrounds: Because of the spontaneous clearance, it is mandatory to ascertain the presence of CBDSs before ERCP.

Methods: Retrospectively, we evaluated two groups. Group A included 96 records in which CBDSs existed in magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and ERCP. Group B included 36 records in which CBDSs existed in MRCP but not ERCP. IIs were calculated on presentation and before ERCP.

Results: Stone detection in ERCP had a 3.992-fold (95% 1.769-9.007) higher probability with a stone larger than 3.25 mm in MRCP. Before ERCP, CAR, and CLR values were higher in group A than in group B (3.88 [1.25-14.14] and 1.24 [0.50-9.66], p = 0.027 versus 8.79 [2.19-35] and 2.67 [1.02-20.05], p = 0.029, respectively). Higher CRP, CAR, and CLR values were considered significant for detecting a stone in ERCP (AUC: 0.627 [0.519-0.739], 0.625 [0.513-0.737], and 0.624 [0.514-0.734], respectively).

Conclusion: Low CRP, CAR, and CLR values might associate with the spontaneous migration of CBDS.

目的:我们旨在确定炎症指标(II),包括中性粒细胞-淋巴细胞比率(NLR), c反应蛋白(CRP)与白蛋白比率(CAR), CRP-淋巴细胞比率(CLR)和全身免疫炎症指数(SIII)是否可以在内镜逆行胆管造影术(ERCP)前诊断胆总管结石(cbds)排泄。背景:由于自发性清除,在ERCP前必须确定cbds的存在。方法:回顾性评价两组患者。A组包括96例磁共振胆管造影(MRCP)和ERCP中存在cbds的记录。B组包括36例MRCP存在cbds而ERCP不存在cbds的记录。在提交时和ERCP前计算i。结果:MRCP结石大于3.25 mm时,ERCP结石检出率比MRCP高3.992倍(95% 1.769 ~ 9.007)。ERCP前,A组CAR、CLR值均高于B组(分别为3.88[1.25-14.14]、1.24 [0.50-9.66],p = 0.027、8.79[2.19-35]、2.67 [1.02-20.05],p = 0.029)。较高的CRP、CAR和CLR值对于ERCP中结石的检测具有重要意义(AUC分别为0.627[0.519-0.739]、0.625[0.513-0.737]和0.624[0.514-0.734])。结论:低CRP、CAR和CLR值可能与CBDS的自发迁移有关。

Background: The "weekend" effect resulting in increased complication rates in patients admitted on weekends has been noted in many diseases.

Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to collate adjusted data from published studies to assess if admission on weekends as compared to weekdays increases mortality rates in hip fracture patients.

Methods: Databases of PubMed, CENTRAL, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase were searched up to 31st December 2022 for studies comparing mortality between weekend versus weekday admission of hip fracture patients. Adjusted hazard ratios (HR) were pooled.

Results: Fourteen studies including 1,487,986 patients were analyzed. Most studies were from Europe and North America. Results showed no difference in mortality rates of hip fracture patients admitted on weekends versus weekdays (HR: 1.00 95% 0.96, 1.04 I2 = 75%). There was no publication bias and results did not change on the leave-one-out analysis. Subgroup analysis based on sample size and treatment did not change outcomes.

Conclusion: This meta-analysis has shown no apparent weekend effect in cases of hip fractures. Patients admitted on weekends had similar mortality rates as compared to those admitted on weekdays. Current data has high heterogeneity and is mostly from developed countries.

背景:在许多疾病中,“周末”效应导致周末入院患者并发症发生率增加。目的:本系统综述和荟萃分析旨在整理已发表研究的调整数据,以评估与工作日相比,周末住院是否会增加髋部骨折患者的死亡率。方法:检索截至2022年12月31日的PubMed、CENTRAL、Scopus、Web of Science和Embase数据库,比较周末和工作日住院髋部骨折患者的死亡率。合并调整后的风险比(HR)。结果:14项研究共纳入1487986例患者。大多数研究来自欧洲和北美。结果显示,周末与工作日入院的髋部骨折患者死亡率无差异(HR: 1.00 95% 0.96, 1.04 I2 = 75%)。在留一分析中没有发表偏倚,结果没有改变。基于样本量和治疗的亚组分析没有改变结果。结论:本荟萃分析显示髋部骨折病例没有明显的周末效应。周末入院的患者死亡率与工作日入院的患者相似。目前的数据具有较高的异质性,且大多来自发达国家。

Objective: To summarize recent findings on the association of low skeletal muscle mass and muscle quality with overall survival and recurrence-free survival in patients with pancreatic cancer.

Methods: A systematic search was conducted using Medline (via PubMed), Embase and Scopus databases for observational studies reporting on the overall survival and recurrence-free survival. Pooled effect sizes were reported as hazards ratio along with 95% confidence intervals.

Results: A total of 34 studies were included. Low skeletal muscle index (indicating muscle mass) was associated with poor overall survival (hazards ratio: 1.50; 95% confidence interval: 1.34, 1.67) and lower recurrence-free survival (hazards ratio: 1.28, 95% confidence interval: 1.15, 1.43). Low skeletal muscle attenuation (indicating muscle quality) was associated with poor overall survival (hazards ratio: 1.32; 95% confidence interval: 1.05, 1.66). Recurrence-free survival was similar in patients with low and normal/high skeletal muscle attenuation (hazards ratio: 1.12, 95% confidence interval: 0.89, 1.40).

Conclusion: Both low skeletal muscle mass and poor muscle quality are associated with poor long-term survival. Low skeletal muscle index, but not low skeletal muscle attenuation, are associated with poor recurrence-free survival.

目的:总结胰腺癌患者骨骼肌质量和骨骼肌质量与总生存期和无复发生存期之间的关系。方法:使用Medline(通过PubMed)、Embase和Scopus数据库系统检索报告总生存期和无复发生存期的观察性研究。汇总效应量以风险比和95%置信区间报告。结果:共纳入34项研究。低骨骼肌指数(表明肌肉质量)与较差的总生存率相关(风险比:1.50;95%可信区间:1.34,1.67)和更低的无复发生存率(风险比:1.28,95%可信区间:1.15,1.43)。低骨骼肌衰减(表明肌肉质量)与较差的总生存率相关(风险比:1.32;95%置信区间:1.05,1.66)。骨骼肌衰减低和正常/高的患者无复发生存率相似(风险比:1.12,95%可信区间:0.89,1.40)。结论:骨骼肌质量低和肌肉质量差与长期生存率差有关。低骨骼肌指数,而不是低骨骼肌衰减,与不良的无复发生存相关。

Objective: The aim of this original study was to investigate general surgeons' perceptions on the role of dual surgeon operating for high-risk, elective complex surgical procedures.

Material and methods: A 21-part cross-sectional online survey was self-completed by 85 general surgeons across hospitals in the UK. The survey assessed the perception of dual surgeon operating on patient morbidity and mortality, surgeons' burnout rates, complaints, patient waiting times and overall trainee experience. Statistical analysis was performed using R version 3.6.1.

Results: Overall 78.8% believed that dual surgeon operating could help to overcome these human factors. Sub-analysis includes improve surgeon fatigue (89.4%), improve confidence (83.5%), improve decision-making (76.5%), minimise technical error (69.4%), improve communication, team work and leadership skills (65.9%). 65.9% believed it would reduce surgeons' burnout. There was a statistically significant relationship between the participants believing it would reduce surgeons' burnout and those who felt it would reduce complaints, Chi-squared(4) = [30.8], p = [0.00000342]. A statistically significant relationship was noted between participants believing it would reduce surgeons' burnout and those who felt it would reduce patient mortality/morbidity, Chi-squared(4) = [19.9], p = [0.000517].

Conclusion: The survey has highlighted positive surgeons' perceptions regarding dual surgeon operating.

Background: Children with Down syndrome (DS) are at increased risk of coeliac disease (CD). Current screening practice in DS includes tissue transglutaminase IgA (TGA-IgA) serology. There is no standard UK guidance on the frequency of serology testing or inclusion of HLA-typing for CD predisposing antigens, DQ2 and DQ8. HLA testing can be performed before gluten exposure and to coincide with other routine investigations. A negative DQ2/DQ8 type means patients do not require further coeliac screening. A positive DQ2/DQ8 type allows risk strati fi cation of patients. We explored the cost-effectiveness and family acceptance of a screening strategy that involved both serology and HLA-typing of children with DS. Methods

Objective: Cervical elastography has been used in pregnant women to diagnose preterm births. However, there is a variability in the measured elasticity parameters and imaging mode used. We evaluated the precision of cervical elastography in identifying preterm births.

Methods: Extensive and methodical searches were made in the databases such as Scopus, Embase, Cochrane Library, PubMed Central, Medline, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar from the inception until November 2022, for studies that report diagnostic accuracy of cervical elastography for preterm deliveries in antenatal women.

Results: The pooled sensitivity and specificity value of cervical elastography for preterm deliveries were 82% (95%CI: 73%-89%) and 77% (95%CI: 64%-86%), respectively with area under curve (AUC) of 0.87 (95%CI: 0.72-0.95). The diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) was 15 (95%CI: 8-28), positive likelihood ratio (LRP) was 3.5 (95%CI: 2.3-5.5) and negative likelihood ratio LRN was 0.23 (0.16-0.34). Pooled sensitivity and specificity of shear wave elastography was 88% and 71%, respectively. Pooled sensitivity and specificity of strain elastography was 80% and 79%, respectively. Heterogeneity was significant, as indicated by chi-square test and an I2 statistic of over 75.

Conclusions: Cervical elastography can be used for predicting preterm deliveries with moderate to high level of accuracy.

目的:宫颈弹性成像已被用于孕妇早产的诊断。然而,测量的弹性参数和使用的成像模式存在差异。我们评估了宫颈弹性成像在识别早产方面的精确度:方法:从开始到 2022 年 11 月,我们在 Scopus、Embase、Cochrane Library、PubMed Central、Medline、ScienceDirect 和 Google Scholar 等数据库中进行了广泛而有条理的检索,以寻找报告宫颈弹性成像对产前妇女早产诊断准确性的研究:宫颈弹性成像对早产的合计敏感性和特异性分别为82%(95%CI:73%-89%)和77%(95%CI:64%-86%),曲线下面积(AUC)为0.87(95%CI:0.72-0.95)。诊断几率比(DOR)为 15(95%CI:8-28),阳性似然比(LRP)为 3.5(95%CI:2.3-5.5),阴性似然比 LRN 为 0.23(0.16-0.34)。剪切波弹性成像的汇总敏感性和特异性分别为 88% 和 71%。应变弹性成像的汇总敏感性和特异性分别为 80% 和 79%。根据卡方检验和超过 75 的 I2 统计量,异质性非常明显:结论:宫颈弹性成像可用于预测早产,准确率为中高水平。
