Aims/Background Previous literature has indicated that sarcopenia is related to poor outcomes after radical resection for colorectal cancer (CRC). However, its effect on the postoperative clinical outcomes of CRC remains controversial. This study aimed to elucidate the predictive value of sarcopenia for postoperative complications and survival in CRC patients. ⋯ Sarcopenia was an independent risk factor for poor DFS (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.404; p = 0.016) and OS (HR = 1.290; p = 0.021). Conclusion In CRC patients undergoing radical surgery, sarcopenia is an independent risk factor for postoperative complications. Sarcopenia may be a predictive factor for the prognosis and survival of CRC patients undergoing radical resection.

There are conflicting data on the relationship between preoperative electrocardiogram and postoperative mortality. We aimed to assess the predictive value of preoperative ECG on postoperative all-cause mortality in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery (NCS). ⋯ Patients with abnormal preoperative ECG findings face an elevated risk of all-cause mortality within 90 days after surgery. The highest mortality risk is observed in patients with atrial fibrillation and left bundle branch block. Additionally, an elevated heart rate, right bundle branch block, and atrial fibrillation further increase the risk of death in patients with pre-existing cardiac conditions.

The objective of this study was to observe the incidence and potential risk factors of postoperative depression and anxiety in patients during the early period after undergoing orthognathic surgery. ⋯ Postoperative depression and anxiety are common among patients who undergo orthognathic surgery. Moreover, preoperative psychological status and incidence of postoperative adverse events were associated with an increased risk of depression and anxiety after surgery. The results of the present study suggest that careful psychological assessment and appropriate management are necessary to improve patients' recovery following orthognathic surgery.

The purpose of this network meta-analysis was to assess the impact of different protective ventilatory strategies on postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). ⋯ LTVs combined with iPEEP and RM decreased the incidence of PPCs, postoperative atelectasis, and pneumonia in noncardiac surgery patients. Individual PEEP-guided ventilation was the optimal lung protection ventilation strategy. The quality of evidence is moderate.

Although serum bicarbonate is a reliable predictor of various disease complications, its relationship with postoperative delirium (POD) remains unclear. Our research aimed to assess the effect of baseline serum bicarbonate levels on the incidence of POD in cardiac surgery patients. ⋯ Lower baseline serum bicarbonate levels in cardiac surgery patients are linked to a higher risk of POD. Monitoring and adjusting serum bicarbonate levels may help identify high-risk patients and potentially improve outcomes.
