Predicting the Outcome of Limb Revascularization in Patients With Lower-extremity Arterial Trauma: Development and External Validation of a Supervised Machine-learning Algorithm to Support Surgical Decisions.
Perkins, Zane B.; Yet, Barbaros; Sharrock, Anna; Rickard, Rory; Marsh, William; Rasmussen, Todd E.; Tai, Nigel R M (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2020-10-01)
Objectives: Estimating the likely success of limb revascularization in patients with lower-extremity arterial trauma is central to decisions between attempting limb salvage and amputation. However, the projected outcome is often unclear at the time these decisions need to be made, making them difficult and threatening sound judgement. The objective of this study was to develop and validate a prediction model that can quantify an individual patient's risk of failed revascularization. Methods: A BN progno...
Prevention of postoperative late kyphosis in Pott's disease by anterior decompression and intervertebral grafting
Korkusuz, Feza; Islam, C; Korkusuz, Z (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1997-06-01)
A total of 185 patients with Pott's disease were operated on between 1973 and 1992. Anterior decompression by preserving the pleura (extrapleural approach) was the preferred method in the thoracic spine. In the lumbar spine the approach was retroperitoneal, and interbody fusion was performed in both for the thoracic and the Lumbar regions. Anterior decompression and intervertebral grafting comprised the treatment. In five patients, internal fixation accompanied anterior decompression and intervertebral graf...
Early Identification of Trauma-induced Coagulopathy: Development and Validation of a Multivariable Risk Prediction Model.
Perkins, ZB; Yet, Barbaros; Marsden, M; Glasgow, S; Marsh, W; Davenport, R; Brohi, K; Tai, NRM (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2020-01-14)
The aim of this study was to develop and validate a risk prediction tool for trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC), to support early therapeutic decision-making.
Meta-analysis of prognostic factors for amputation following surgical repair of lower extremity vascular trauma
Perkins, Z. B.; Yet, Barbaros; Glasgow, S.; Cole, E.; Marsh, W.; Brohi, K.; Rasmussen, T. E.; Tai, N. R. M. (Wiley, 2015-04-01)
Background: Lower extremity vascular trauma (LEVT) is a major cause of amputation. A clear understanding of prognostic factors for amputation is important to inform surgical decision-making, patient counselling and risk stratification. The aim was to develop an understanding of prognostic factors for amputation following surgical repair of LEVT.
Reduction of surgery-induced peritoneal adhesions by continuous release of streptokinase from a drug delivery system
Yagmurlu, A; Barlas, M; Gursel, I; Gokcora, IH (S. Karger AG, 2003-01-01)
Postoperative abdominal adhesions may lead to intestinal obstruction and infertility. The effect of continuous release of streptokinase to the peritoneal cavity on postoperative adhesions was examined under experimental conditions. Peritoneal adhesions were induced in rats and the animals were further treated by intraperitoneal administration of streptokinase solution, polyhydroxy-butyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV) membrane alone and streptokinase loaded PHBV membrane and compared to sham operated and untre...
