Reduced Risk of Reoperations With Modern Deep Brain Stimulator Systems: Big Data Analysis From a United States Claims Database
2021
Objective: There have been significant improvements in the design and manufacturing of deep brain stimulation (DBS) systems, but no study has considered the impact of modern systems on complications. We sought to compare the relative occurrence of reoperations after de novo implantation of modern and traditional DBS systems in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) or essential tremor (ET) in the United States.Design: Retrospective, contemporaneous cohort study.Setting: Multicenter data from the United States Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrative claims database between 2016 and 2018.Participants: This population-based sample consisted of 5,998 patients implanted with a …
PREOP: an international study of elderly surgical oncology patients to optimize preoperative assessment
2009
Purpose of the study: To test the predictive value of the Groningen Frailty Indicator (GFI), Vulnerable Elders Survey 13 (VES-13), timed “get up and go” and Preoperative Assessment of Cancer in Elderly (PACE) for postoperative mortality and morbidity. Method(s): International multi-center prospective cohort study. The combination of components of PACE, timed “get up and go”, the VES-13 and the GFI are administered within two weeks prior to the surgical procedure. Study population: Patients aged 70 years undergoing elective surgery for a solid tumor under general anesthesia are included. Outcome measures: Primary endpoint is 30 day morbidity and mortality. Secondary endpoints are length of h…
