Hip fractures are a serious health concern and a major contributor to healthcare resource utilisation. We aimed to investigate nationwide trends in the USA in patient characteristics and outcomes in patients after hip fracture repair surgery. ⋯ Over the 6-yr period from 2016 to 2021, a majority of hip fracture repairs continued to be performed under general anaesthesia but with that percentage declining over time. Notable trends included a lower percentage of female patients, an increase in femoral neck fractures, a higher comorbidity burden among patients, and a decrease in complications.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Mean arterial pressure versus cardiac index for haemodynamic management and myocardial injury after hepatopancreatic surgery: A randomised controlled trial.
Myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) frequently complicates the peri-operative period and is associated with increased mortality. ⋯ CI-based haemodynamic management assures sufficient flow and consequently is associated with less peri-operative hsTnT elevation and lower incidence of MINS compared to MAP.

Events preceding death after high-risk surgery analyzed by Global Trigger Tool and reflective-thematic approach.
Postoperative mortality might be influenced by postoperative care, vigilance, and competence to rescue. This study aims to describe the course of events preceding death in a high-risk surgical cohort. ⋯ A high predicted risk of death and a peak of adverse events on the day of index surgery were detected. Identified themes reflect lack of documented multi-professional consensus on how to handle prevalent perioperative risk, vigilance, and postoperative level of care.

Prospective evaluation of serum and peritoneal fluid markers as indicators of postoperative complications in patients with enteric anastomosis.
Postoperative complications of colorectal cancer surgery contribute to increased morbidity and mortality in patients. ⋯ Limited literature on specific aspects of this study, including the absence of a control group, small sample size, and two-center study.
