Development of a Risk Score for Carcinoma Gallbladder in Patients with Suspicious Lesions
Among cancers, carcinoma gallbladder presents a poor prognosis. A study developed a risk score based on key clinical and imaging factors to predict malignancy in patients with suspicious gallbladder lesions. The model demonstrated a sensitivity of 78% and specificity of 70.4%, aiding in early identification and referral of high-risk patients. Prospective validation is warranted to further establish the utility of this risk score.
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).
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.
