Age-based Prediction of Neoplastic Gallbladder Polyps Using Ultrasound Features
The prevalence of neoplastic polyps in gallbladder polyps increases with age. Linear scoring models based on ultrasound features effectively predicted neoplastic polyps in different age groups. Independent risk factors included number and size of polyps. The models outperformed using polyp size alone. This study provides valuable insights for tailored treatment strategies in patients with gallbladder polyps.
Patients who needed emergency general surgery within 60 days of a pulmonary embolism had more major complications than those operated on later, in a national database study.
Among 3,785 patients who had emergency general surgery after acute pulmonary embolism, those operated on at least 60 days later had markedly fewer major adverse events (adjusted OR 0.45, 95% CI 0.37–0.55).
