Abstract Purpose In this retrospective study, we assessed factors that can be used to predict the need for bowel resection due to an incarcerated groin hernia. Methods We enrolled a total of 83 patients diagnosed with an incarcerated groin hernia on preoperative unenhanced computed tomography (CT) between January 2010 and December 2019 in our hospital. They were divided into two groups: those who underwent bowel resection and those who did not. The clinical findings, blood test results, and unenhanced CT values of patients were examined and compared between the two groups. The indication of intestinal resection was macroscopic necrosis or perforation of the incarcerated intestine. Results A total of 83 patients with incarcerated groin hernias were included in our study, of whom 13 (15.7%) had undergone bowel resection surgery. A univariate analysis identified a prolonged time from the symptom onset to surgery, increased white blood cell (WBC) count, increased C-reactive protein (CRP) level, decreased albumin level, and CT attenuation of the incarcerated intestinal wall at the fundus as significant predictive factors. The cut-off value for prediction of intestinal resection was 25 HU for the average CT attenuation of the incarcerated intestinal wall at the fundus and a WBC of 11,550 based on the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. A multivariate analysis showed CT attenuation of the incarcerated intestinal wall at the fundus and an increased WBC count to be independent predictive factors. Conclusions Measuring unenhanced CT attenuation of the incarcerated intestinal wall at the fundus and the WBC count was suggested to be necessary for determining whether or not resection of the incarcerated intestine is required in cases of groin hernia.

Probability Of Death

SummaryA total of 333 patients with stable intermittent claudication at recruitment were followed up for 6 years to determine risk factors associated with subsequent mortality. Cardiovascular diseases were the underlying cause of death in 78% of the 114 patients who died. The strongest independent predictor of death during the follow-up period was the plasma fibrinogen level, an increase of 1 g/l being associated with a nearly two-fold increase in the probability of death within the next 6 years. Age, low ankle/brachial pressure index and a past history of myocardial infarction also increased the probability of death during the study period. The plasma fibrinogen level is a valuable index of those patients with stable intermittent claudication at high risk of early mortality. The results also provide further evidence for the involvement of fibrinogen in the pathogenesis of arterial disease.

<strong>Objective:</strong> We aimed to evaluate the risk factors associated with acute renal failure in patients who underwent coronary artery bypass surgery.<br /><strong>Methods:</strong> One hundred and six patients who developed renal failure after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) constituted the study group (RF group), while 110 patients who did not develop renal failure served as a control group <br />(C group). In addition, the RF group was divided into two subgroups: patients that were treated with conservative methods without the need for hemodialysis (NH group) and patients that required hemodialysis (HR group). Risk factors associated with renal failure were investigated.<br /><strong>Results:</strong> Among the 106 patients that developed renal failure (RF), 80 patients were treated with conservative methods without any need for hemodialysis (NH group); while <br />26 patients required hemodialysis in the postoperative period (HR group). The multivariate analysis showed that diabetes mellitus and the postoperative use of positive inotropes and adrenaline were significant risk factors associated with development of renal failure. In addition, carotid stenosis and postoperative use of adrenaline were found to be significant risk factors associated with hemodialysis-dependent renal failure (P &lt; .05). The mortality in the RF group was determined as 13.2%, while the mortality rate in patients who did not require hemodialysis and those who required hemodialysis was 6.2% and 34%, respectively.<br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Renal failure requiring hemodialysis after CABG often results in high morbidity and mortality. Factors affecting microcirculation and atherosclerosis, like diabetes mellitus, carotid artery stenosis, and postoperative vasopressor use remain the major risk factors for the development of renal failure.<br /><br />
