Patients with OSA are at increased risk of postoperative cardiorespiratory complications and death. Attempts to stratify this risk have been inadequate, and predictors from large, well-characterized cohort studies are needed. ⋯ These findings provide a basis for better identifying high-risk patients with OSA and determining appropriate postoperative care.

We used machine learning to develop and validate a multivariable algorithm allowing the accurate and early prediction of postoperative hypocalcemia risk. ⋯ Using machine learning, we developed and validated a simple multivariable model that allowed the accurate prediction of postoperative hypocalcemia. The resulting algorithm could be used at the point of care to guide clinical management after total thyroidectomy.

Craniocerebral trauma is one of the main causes of death and disability worldwide. Decompressive craniectomy is a common emergency measure in the treatment of craniocerebral trauma, aimed at relieving intracranial pressure. However, cranial bone reconstruction (CP) following this surgery is crucial for the patient's long-term recovery. Despite this, research on complications and prognostic factors after ultra-early cranioplasty remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to explore the complications of ultra-early cranioplasty with titanium mesh and its impact on prognosis. ⋯ Ultra-early CP can promote the recovery of neurological function, reduce the disturbance of consciousness, improve daily living ability, and improve cognitive function in patients with craniocerebral trauma, but there is a high risk of postoperative complications. In addition, age and postoperative NIHSS score are related factors affecting the poor prognosis of ultra-early CP patients.

Delayed symptomatic hyponatremia (DSH) is one of the common complications following endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES). Currently, published studies have predominantly focused on delayed postoperative hyponatremia, while there is relatively limited research on DSH. ⋯ The incidence rate of DSH after EES in patients was 16.8%. Knosp grade ≥3, intraoperative cerebrospinal fluid leaks, serum sodium concentration on the second day after surgery, and postoperative DI were associated with the occurrence of DSH.
