Therefore, this study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of LCBDE + PDC specifically in patients with mild-to-moderate acute cholangitis (AC). Patients with cholecystocholedocholithiasis who underwent LCBDE + PDC treatment at our hospital between July 2020 and September 2022 were included. The patients were divided into two groups based on the presence of cholangitis: acute cholangitis (AC group) and non-acute cholangitis (non-AC group). A total of 136 patients underwent LCBDE + PDC treatment, with 65 in the AC group and 71 in the non-AC group. No deaths occurred after surgery in either group. The AC group had longer drainage tube retention time (5 (4-7) days vs. 4 (3-5) days, P < 0.001), postoperative hospital stay (8 (6-9) days vs. 6 (5-7) days, P < 0.001), and total hospital stay (12 (9.5-15) days vs. 10 (8-13) days, P < 0.001) compared to the non-AC group. However, there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of operation time, estimated blood loss, and the rate of using holmium laser lithotripsy. The incidence of postoperative complications was similar between the two groups.

This study aimed to determine the optimal cut-off value of tumor size (TS), and construct a prognostic nomogram in combination with other independent prognostic factors (PFs) to predict 3 year and 5 year overall survival (OS) in GSRC patients. From the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, this study collected 4744 patients diagnosed with GSRC. These patients were randomized into a training cohort (n = 2320,) and a validation cohort (n = 1142). A restricted cubic spline (RCS) was used to determine the cut-off value for TS, and univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed in the training cohort to identified significant predictors. A prognostic nomogram was constructed to predict OS at 3 and 5 years. Concordance index (C index), receiver operating characteristics curve (ROC curve), area under curve (AUC), and calibration curve were used to test the predictive accuracy of the model. A non-linear relationship was observed between TS and the risk of OS in GSRC, with TS thresholds at 4.4 cm and 9.6 cm. Survival was significantly lower in GSRC patients with TS > 4.4 cm. Age, marriage, chemotherapy, surgery, TS, SEER stage, regional lymph node status, and total number were independent predictors of OS. The C index in the training cohort was 0.748, and the AUC values for both 3- and 5-year OS were higher than 0.80. Similar results were observed in the validation cohort. In addition, the calibration curves showed good agreement between the predicted 3 year and 5 year OS and the actual OS. TS is a key prognostic factor for patients with GSRC, and patients with a TS of 4.4-9.6 cm and > 9.6 cm may have a poorer prognosis than those with a TS of < 4.4 cm.

Patients who were diagnosed with MPE that was associated with underlying lung cancer between January 2010 and December 2019 were included and analyzed retrospectively in a single center. Outcomes considered were 30-day, 6 months, and 1-year mortality. A total of 180 patients were examined.

For 6-month and 1-year mortality the order of these AUCs was similar. Cox regression showed that none of the scores were significantly associated with 30-day mortality, but LENT and RECLS were significantly associated with 6-month and 1-year mortality. Comparison of - 2log likelihood ratios showed that LENT score was more, strongly associated with 6-month mortality than PROMISE (p = 0.001) or RECLS (p = 0.02).
