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.

Prognostic Factors for Amputation Following Surgical Repair of Lower Extremity Vascular Trauma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies
Perkins, Zane B.; Yet, Barbaros; Glasgow, Simon; Marsh, William; Brohi, Karim; Rasmussen, Todd E.; Tai, Nigel R. (2014-06-01)
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. Methods: A systematic review was conducted to identify potential prognostic factors. Bayesian meta-analysis was used to calculate an absolute (pooled proportion) a...
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.

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...
THE RISK-FACTORS IN CENTRAL VENOUS CATHETER-RELATED THROMBOSIS
KOKSOY, C; KUZU, A; ERDEN, I; Akkaya, Ayşen (Wiley, 1995-11-01)
Catheter-related venous thrombosis is one of the most important complications of central venous catheters. The aim of this prospective study was to assess the risk factors that may be important in the development of catheter-related thrombosis. Multiple lumen (n = 20) and single lumen (n = 24) polyurethane catheters were inserted to the subclavian vein by the infraclavicular approach in 44 consecutive patients. All variables that may be significant for the development of thrombosis related to the patient, t...
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...
Effects of alendronate on rate of distraction in rabbit mandibles
TEKİN, UMUT; Tuz, Hakan H.; Onder, Ercument; Ozkaynak, Ozkan; KORKUSUZ, PETEK (Elsevier BV, 2008-10-01)
Purpose: Bisphosphonates are used for inhibiting bone resorption in several diseases. In this experimental study, the effects of alendronate on the mandibular distraction gap in rabbits at 2 different rates were evaluated.
