Introduction

Morel-Lavallee lesions (MLL) are closed degloving injuries, often requiring complex management when infected. We evaluated if early debridement reduces infection risk compared to observation.

Methods

We conducted a single-center retrospective study of MLL in adults from 2012 to 2022, analyzing diagnoses, infection, demographics, and hospital outcomes. Patients undergoing debridement within 48 ​h were compared to those initially observed.

Results

Of 219 patients, 79 (36 ​%) underwent initial surgical debridement, and 140 (64 ​%) were initially observed. The overall infection rate was 9 ​%. The surgery group had longer hospital stays (14vs7 days, p ​< ​0.001) and more debridements (2vs0, p ​< ​0.001). While infection rate was higher in the surgery group (13.9%vs6.4 ​%, p ​= ​0.064), this difference was not statistically significant. Multivariate analysis identified higher BMI, hip location, and RBC transfusions as significant infection predictors.

Conclusion

No significant differences in infection rates were found, but several risk factors were identified. Greater awareness and better study designs are needed for improved MLL management guidelines.

Background

Geriatric patients manifest pain and physical findings differently and are associated with higher mortality and complications. We hypothesized that physical exam (PE) is unreliable versus computed tomography (CT) for comprehensive injury identification in geriatric patients. Additionally, we quantified significant incidental radiologic findings.

Study design

Our institution adopted a policy of Pan Scan (PS) CT for trauma activations of patients ≥65 years. PS included CT of head/neck and chest/abdomen/pelvis. PE and imaging findings were extracted from physician reports.

Results

50 ​% of patients had clinically significant CT traumatic findings. Of these, 75 ​% had PE correlating to significant CT findings, while 25 ​% had significant PS findings not identifiable on PE (p ​< ​0.001). The NPV was 0.80 for the PE. 57.7 ​% had clinically significant incidental findings.

Conclusion

Physical exam alone is not sensitive enough to detect all traumatic injuries in elderly patients. As an added benefit to PS, important incidental findings are identified. These data support use of PS in geriatric trauma to optimize care.

Introduction

The objective was to characterize the interactive effects of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) on long-term mortality following major operations.

Methods

We performed a national, retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing high-risk operations from 1991 through 2018 using the VA Corporate Data Warehouse and Surgical Quality Improvement Program. Preoperative exposures included CVD (history of angina, CHF, MI, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, and related procedures) and CKD Stages III-V. The primary outcome was long-term mortality.

Results

514,057 operations were included. After adjustment, the interaction between CVD and CKD Stage III (HR 1.38, 95% CI: 1.35–1.42), Stage IV (HR 1.91, 95% CI: 1.83–2.01), and Stage V (HR 2.70, 95% CI: 2.59–2.81) progressively conferred increasing risk of mortality.

Conclusions

In the setting of major operations, it is more accurate to interpret CVD and CKD in context of one another while accounting for the degree of baseline renal dysfunction.

Background

The prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) in perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) included resection margin (RM) and lymph node metastases (LNM). Nevertheless, the advantage associated with a negative RM in patients with LNM remains unresolved.

Methods

The study retrospectively analyzed patients with pCCA underwent curative-intent resection between October 2013 and December 2018. The evaluation of the OS was conducted based on the presence of LNM and the status of RM.

Results

Of the 167 resected pCCA patients, 87 (52.1 ​%) were LNM negative, and 80 (47.9 ​%) were LNM positive. Of the 87 LNM-negative patients, 68 (78.2 ​%) were R0 resections, and 19 (21.8 ​%) were R1 resections. In LNM-negative patients, the OS was longer in the R0 resection than the R1 resection group (median survival time (MST) of 32.1 vs 15.7 months, respectively; p ​< ​0.001). Of the 80 LNM-positive patients, 35 were R0 resections and 45 were R1 resections. Among patients with LNM positivity, the OS rates were similar between the groups who underwent R1 resection and R0 resection (MST of 8.4 vs 8.0 months, respectively; p ​= ​0.109).

Conclusion

In patients with pCCA, the RM status was the most important prognostic factor for LNM-negative patients. However, there was no impact in LNM-positive patients.

Background

General Surgeon Workforce Density (WFD) is used to approximate surgical access. Treatment-incidence ratios (TIR) provide a novel measure of care access. TIR's association with General Surgeon WFD has not been evaluated.

Study design

Retrospective cohort study of North Carolina inpatient discharges (2016–2019). The association between county and Hospital Service Area (HSA) TIRs for general surgical diseases was analyzed using adjusted linear and logistic regression.

Results

When adjusting for pertinent covariates, county General Surgeon WFD and TIR (−0.0009, 95 ​% CI -0.028,0.026; p 0.95) and HSA General Surgeon WFD and TIR (0.008, 95 ​% CI -0.021,0.037; p ​0.58) were not statistically significantly associated. The odds of a county 0.91 (95 ​% CI 0.42,1.97; p 0.82) or HSA (OR 0.93, 95 ​% CI 0.43,2.04; p 0.86) having a high TIR was not associated with WFD.

Conclusion

General Surgeon WFD is not associated with disease-specific procedural rates of common surgical conditions at the county or HSA level.

Background

High-energy lower extremity injury presents with difficult clinical decisions because successful limb salvage is the best scenario for complex traumas, but early amputation may be necessary to limit complications. Artificial Intelligence is a tool rising in popularity to help make clinical judgements.

Purpose/questions

The aim of this study is to determine whether ChatGPT-4 can produce accurate recommendations for limb salvage or amputation given various patient scenarios.

Methods

Various lower leg trauma scenarios were given to the appropriate use criteria for limb salvage made by AAOS or ChatGPT-4. A recommendation score for limb salvage and early amputation were collected. Tests to determine statistical significance between AAOS and ChatGPT-4 were performed.

Results

A total of 196 patient scenario combinations were utilized. The mean error for limb salvage and early amputation were −0.3 and −0.2 respectively. AAOS and ChatGPT had significant positive correlations when predicting limb salvage and early amputation scores. The effect size of limb salvage and early amputation was −0.094 and −0.14, respectively.

Conclusion

ChatGPT-4 generally under-estimates appropriateness scores for both limb salvage and early amputation treatment options, but produces similar scores. ChatGPT-4 may be used to aid physicians in choosing between limb salvage and early amputation, though with caution.
