Guided by a modified Framework method, we arranged data into domains, themes and subthemes. We categorized patient-identified challenges using the Geriatric 5 Ms framework as deductive themes. Then, we identified additional themes and subthemes inductively.RESULTSFrom November 2022 to August 2023, twenty patients completed the study. Themes of personal patient challenges included: the mind (i.e., coping with uncertainty, anxiety/frustration, and underappreciated cognitive challenges), mobility (i.e., physical limitations and challenges completing activities of daily living), medications (i.e., understanding medication frequency and side effects), multi-complexity (i.e., surgical recovery in the context of multi-morbidity), and what matters most (i.e., matters related to self, care-partners, and recovery expectations). Themes of process characteristics included challenges discussing the decision for surgery, understanding expectations for surgical recovery, and obtaining anticipatory guidance. Patients with fecal ostomy described heightened emotional challenges and social support needs.CONCLUSIONSModifiable challenges older adult patients perceive after elective major surgery often stemmed from perioperative anxiety, uncertainty, inadequate communication and insufficient social support. These findings can guide clinicians in optimizing surgical care and inform future research developing interventions aimed at addressing emotional stressors and enhancing communication between patients and surgical teams.","PeriodicalId":8017,"journal":{"name":"Annals of surgery","volume":"108 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143841073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These models were applied to each absent law in each state to estimate the reduction in FS associated with law implementation. The law associated with the greatest reduction in each state was the most impactful missing law.RESULTSEight of 12 law categories were significantly associated with decreased FS rates. The largest associated reductions in FS were with child access prevention, or CAP (IRR 0.53; 95% CI 0.48-0.59; P<0.001), and concealed carry permitting, or CCP (IRR 0.59; 95% CI 0.54-0.65; P<0.001).

Though prior studies suggested that surgeons are aware of operating room waste and interested in improving sustainability, they were not nationally representative and did not ask about specific changes surgeons were willing to make or what incentives would promote such changes. In this study, we aim to ascertain a more granular understanding of surgeons' views on sustainability in a representative sample of U.S. academic surgeons.METHODSWe surveyed surgeons at ten academic surgery programs representing all U.S. geographic regions. The survey contained questions on general attitudes towards sustainability, willingness to make sustainable changes, and the degree to which certain incentives would motivate change. Surgeons rated questions on Likert scales, and we calculated the proportion of respondents who indicated strongly positive responses.RESULTSOverall, 247 out of 523 surgeons (47%) responded to the survey. Similar majorities of respondents felt that the problem of operating room waste was critical (n=155, 63%) and were motivated to improve the sustainability of their practices (n=160, 65%). Five respondents (2%) felt their institution put effort into sustainability education. Most respondents (n=243, 98%) were willing to make at least one of the sustainable practice changes in our survey, with the greatest number willing to reduce items on their preference cards following periodic review (n=227, 92%). Respondents were more motivated by personal cash incentives than non-cash or departmental incentives. Using factor analysis, we derived five factors from survey responses: (1) general attitudes, (2) education, (3) willingness, (4) responsiveness to personal cash incentives, and (5) responsiveness to other incentives.CONCLUSIONSSurgeons understand that operating room waste is a problem and most say they are willing to make individual changes to improve operating room sustainability. However, a majority would be motivated to improve sustainability by personal cash incentives which are rarely implemented. Additional work will be needed to operationalize surgeons' positive views on sustainability into practice changes that meaningfully impact climate change.","PeriodicalId":8017,"journal":{"name":"Annals of surgery","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143822620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The surgeons' expertise on which anatomical factors lead to LRC was translated into a new anatomical frame of reference around the Hepatic Central Zone (HCZ). A fully automatic pipeline to generate the HCZ and quantify the tumors position relative to it was assessed. An AI model was then trained to predict LRC from a patient cohort for whom LRC was annotated at the end of each surgery. The AI-prediction was finally compared to prediction of surgeons that only saw the patient preoperative CT scan.RESULTSThe 3D reconstructions are successfully evaluated on benchmark datasets. The HCZ is accurately generated for a variety of atypical vascular anatomies (dice score 82±4.6%). The automatic pipeline is successfully run on a 145 HCC patient cohort.
