Measuring the impact of anaesthetist-administered medications volumes on intraoperative fluid balance during prolonged abdominal surgery (MEASURE study).
The contribution of intraoperative anesthetist-administered medications (IAAMs) to the total volume of intraoperative intravenous (IV) fluid therapy and their association with postoperative outcomes has never been formally investigated. ⋯ IAAMs significantly increased the total administered fluid volume during pancreaticoduodenectomy. Their inclusion increases the accuracy of postoperative complications predictions. These findings support their inclusion in fluid volumes and balances in future interventional studies.

Observational StudyAssociation Between Preoperative Fibrinogen-to-Albumin Ratio and All-Cause Mortality After Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Retrospective Observational Study.
The fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR) is a recently introduced prognostic marker for patients with coronary artery disease. The present study investigated whether the FAR is associated with clinical outcome after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). ⋯ A higher FAR is associated with increased all-cause mortality after OPCAB. The preoperative FAR could be a prognostic factor for predicting higher mortality after OPCAB.

Association Between Frailty and Clinical Outcomes and Quality of Life in Older Adults Following Hip Fracture Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Hip fracture is a serious event in the older population and is associated with morbidity, mortality, and disability among those who survive. Emerging evidence suggests that frailty is pertinent to the clinical outcomes of older patients with hip fracture. ⋯ Frailty status is associated with adverse postoperative outcomes, mortality, and low quality of life 12 months after hip fracture surgery in older patients.
