International Multicentre Validation of the Left Pancreatectomy Pancreatic Fistula Prediction Models and Development and Validation of the Combined DISPAIR-FRS Prediction Model

Academic Background Pancreatectomy is an important treatment for pancreatic diseases, but postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a common and serious complication, with an incidence rate as high as 20%. POPF not only prolongs hospital stays and increases medical costs but is also closely associated with increased postoperative mortality. Theref...

Impact of Postoperative Complications on Clinical Outcomes After Gastrectomy for Cancer: Multicentre Study

Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide, and surgical resection (gastrectomy) is the primary treatment. Although the application of minimally invasive techniques has reduced surgical trauma, the incidence of postoperative complications after gastrectomy remains high, ranging from 20% to 40%. These complications not only ...

Multicentre Prospective Study on the Diagnostic and Prognostic Validity of Malnutrition Assessment Tools in Surgery

Academic Background Malnutrition is a significant risk factor for postoperative complications, particularly in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery, where the incidence of malnutrition is high. However, there is currently no widely accepted tool for assessing malnutrition. Existing nutritional screening tools vary greatly in sensitivity and ...

Stress-Induced Eosinophil Activation Contributes to Postoperative Morbidity and Mortality After Lung Resection

Research Background With global population aging, the number of lung resection surgeries has increased significantly, including primary lung cancer resection, removal of lung metastases, and surgeries to treat lung infections or emphysema. However, little is known about the systemic stress response after thoracic surgery and interventions to improv...
