A-272 Monocyte Distribution Width Performance in Emergency Department Patients that Undergo Surgery Open
Background Patients that present to the Emergency Department (ED) with conditions that require surgical intervention are often more difficult to assess for systemic infection or sepsis. Signs and symptoms consistent with surgical disease, …

Teaching Uncommon Diseases in Surgery: Conceptual Framework for the Development of a Peritoneal Surface Malignancy Curriculum Open
Background There is a critical need for contemporary education to address peritoneal surface malignancies (PSM). This study delineates the development of an online PSM curriculum for surgical trainees, in conjunction with a national consor…

Role of Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in the Management of Colorectal Peritoneal Metastases Open
Peritoneal metastases from colon cancer are a particularly challenging disease process given the limited response to systemic chemotherapy. In patients with isolated peritoneal metastases, cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperit…

Pancreatic lymphoepithelial cyst with concurrent HIV infection: A case report and review of the literature Open
Pancreatic lymphoepithelial cysts are rare, benign, non-neoplastic unilocular or multilocular cystic lesions. These circumscribed pancreatic lesions are filled with keratinous material grossly and exhibit distinct microscopic features. Pan…

Validation of the Risk Analysis Index for Evaluating Frailty in Ambulatory Patients Open
BACKGROUND Frailty is a marker of dependency, disability, hospitalization, and mortality in community‐dwelling older adults. However, existing tools for measuring frailty are too cumbersome for rapid point‐of‐care assessment. The Risk Anal…

Association of Preoperative Patient Frailty and Operative Stress With Postoperative Mortality Open
We developed a novel operative stress score to quantify physiologic stress for surgical procedures. Patients who were frail and very frail had high rates of postoperative mortality across all levels of the Operative Stress Score. These fin…

P107 Predictors of mortality in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery Open
Introduction Surgical resection is a treatment of choice for patients with early stage lung cancer and physiological measurements are routinely used to help predict post-operative risk, particularly in the ‘high-risk’ patient group. At pre…

The Association amongst ‘Triple Negative’ Breast Cancers, Lymph Node Metastasis, Disease Free and Overall Survival Open
Triple negative' breast cancer (TNBC) has fewer specific targets for systemic therapy.We hypothesized that patients with TNBC have an increased incidence of sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastases and decreased disease-specific and overall su…
