Patients with multiple comorbidities often have delayed hip fracture surgery due to medical optimization. The goal of this study is to identify the allowable time for medical optimization in severely ill hip fracture patients.The 2016-2019 NSQIP database was used to identify patients over age 60 with ASA classification scores 3 and 4 for severe and life-threatening systemic diseases. Patients were divided into immediate ( 48 hours) groups based on time to surgery (TTS). Risk-adjusted multivariable ...

The brain is a common site of metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of this study was two-fold: 1) to determine the incidence of brain metastasis (BM) in Caucasian lung adenocarcinoma patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and 2) to evaluate the frequencies and potential relationship of the different EGFR mutations with BM. A retrospective cohort study was conducted at a Croatian tertiary hospital (Clinic for Respiratory Diseases “Jordanovac”) using data collected ...
