Perioperative · study
Early postoperative hematocrit is a robust and clinically actionable marker associated with transfusion risk in primary THA. Cup inclination reflects the surgical technique rather than direct transfusion risk, and reoperation likely…
Perioperative · randomised trial
Robotic-assisted TKA was associated with lower serum C‑reactive protein levels. No difference was found in the length of hospitalization and erythropoietic function in serum. Although the surgical execution of conventional TKA was…

To date, the incidence of POPFF may have been underestimated with over 50% of cases missed if the case identification in this study is correct. After including these cases, we observed that POPFF is the largest reason for major reoperation…

Frail older patients had more adverse post-ERAS outcomes after TLIF compared to non/prefrail older patients. Continued research and multidisciplinary collaboration will be essential to refine and optimize protocols for surgical care in…

The results indicated that age (mean difference [MD] = 4.95, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.22–6.69), male (odds ratio [OR] = 1.41, 95% CI: 1.02–1.93), the American Society of Anaesthesiologists classification ≥3 (OR = 3.48, 95% CI…

Clinicians should be alert to patients with those risk factors. To identify the risk factors more precisely, more research studies with larger sample size and better design should be conducted.
