At-home Walking Cadence Functional Assessment and Recovery Trajectory for Older Adults Undergoing Major Surgery
This is a prospective observational study looking at gait-cadence in older adults who are scheduled to have major abdominal surgery at the University of Chicago. The objective of the study is to evaluate whether gait-cadence, as measured from a patient's mobile device at-home, can provide an accurate assessment of a …
A Comparison of Renal vs Limb NIRS for Predicting Cardiac Surgery Associated Acute Kidney Injury
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complication of cardiac surgery that can affect outcome. Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is a technology that uses light to determine how well oxygenated tissues are. This technology is routinely used in cardiac surgery to measure the oxygen level in the brain by placing a …
The Role of the Vascular Surgeon in Oncologic Surgery of Abdominal and Pelvic Retroperitoneal Masses
Retroperitoneal tumors (RPTs - retroperitoneal tumors) are neoplasms that originate from the soft tissues of the retroperitoneum and in their more invasive forms can involve the retroperitoneal organs and large abdominal and pelvic vascular structures. They are divided into benign tumors (20%), of which teratomas and tumors of neurogenic origin …
A Diagnostic Test Accuracy Study Comparing Biopsy to Aspiration in Shoulder and Elbow Arthroplasty Revision Surgery (BASE Study)
The aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic accuracy of percutaneous aspiration against open biopsy, using microbiological and histological methods, for the detection of shoulder and elbow periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). This is to establish the utility of pre-operative joint aspiration in the treatment pathway for shoulder and …
A Prospective Observational Study of Perioperative Lumbar Puncture Pressure and Shunt Valve Pressure Management in Patients with Communicating Hydrocephalus Undergoing Lumboperitoneal Shunt Surgery
Target population: patients 18 years of age or older who require surgical treatment with lumboperitoneal shunt surgery for traffic hydrocephalus Estimated sample size: 30 cases. Study design: this study is a multicenter prospective observational study, with lumbar puncture pressure measurement before and during surgery, and shunt valve setting pressure set …
Comparing Conservative to Surgical Treatment of Trigonocephaly Craniofacial Surgery in Children With Trigonocephaly: an Observational Cohort Study on Clinical Outcomes, Psychosocial Wellbeing, and Costs
RESEARCH QUESTION Is the effectiveness of conservative policy comparable to that of surgery in children with trigonocephaly, with regard to clinical outcomes and psychosocial functioning, stress for parents, and costs? DESIGN Observational cohort study in children, aged 0 to 8 years old, with trigonocephaly, excluding metopic ridging (physiologic early closure …
Interest in Combining Intraoperative ElectroEncephaloGram (EEG) With Assessment of Frailty to Predict Postoperative Delirium in Patients Aged >75 Years Undergoing Major Non-cardiac Surgery
Post-operative delirium (POD) is known to be independently associated with pre-operative frailty, pre-operative cognitive status and per-operative ElectroEncephaloGram (EEG). However, no study has focused on the impact of these pre- and peri-operative outcomes on the prediction of Post-operative delirium (POD). Therefore, this study has been designed to assess the performance …
Study of the Effect of the Time of Diagnosis (Antenatal vs. Postnatal) on the Post-traumatic Reactions of Parents of Children Undergoing Oesophageal Atresia Surgery "
This is an observational, national multicentre (34 centres involved), cross-sectional study in psychology whose objective is to describe and compare the levels of post-traumatic reactions of mothers to the announcement of their child's EA diagnosis. An ancillary study will be carried out among the fathers present who agree to participate …
Magnetic System in Bariatric and General Surgery
Magnetic devices have been successfully used in bariatric surgery. To the date the only reported use of the magnet was for liver retraction. This study is to demonstrate the safety and viability of using the magnetic system as a second surgical assistant in bariatric surgery and not only for liver …
Perioperative Impact of Physical Activity on Short- and Long-term Morbidity and Mortality
Over 300 million surgeries are performed globally every year. Complications after surgery - infections, cardiovascular conditions, postoperative pulmonary complications and renal impairment - affect survival and quality of life. Age and co-morbidity are unmodifiable factors, contributing to increased risk of these perioperative complications. However, a modifiable risk factor is physical …
