AbstractWhether documented preoperative statin exposure is associated with short-term mortality after aortic valve replacement (AVR) is uncertain. This retrospective multicohort study included 5,291 AVR records from SNUH, MIMIC-IV, and eICU. The primary analysis compared no documented versus any documented statin exposure for recorded 30-day mortality in SNUH and MIMIC-IV using overlap weighting and fixed-effect pooling. Exposure-window, recorded 365-day, IPTW, and SNUH available-follow-up analyses were sensitivity analyses; eICU and agent-specific analyses were exploratory. Overlap-weighted 30-day risks with versus without documented exposure were 1.29% versus 2.55% in SNUH and 1.18% versus 2.36% in MIMIC-IV; the pooled HR was 2.01 (95% CI, 0.98 to 4.11; P = 0.056). A 1-day MIMIC-IV window reclassified seven records and, pooled with the SNUH 24-h definition, yielded an HR of 2.29 (95% CI, 1.14 to 4.61; P = 0.

Introduction: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the standard surgical treatment for symptomatic cholelithiasis, but a proportion of patients continue to experience abdominal or gastrointestinal symptoms after surgery. This study evaluated the frequency of persistent symptoms and the resolution pattern of individual gastrointestinal symptoms following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: This prospective longitudinal observational study was conducted at Pushpagiri Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Thiruvalla, Kerala. Eligible patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic cholelithiasis were prospectively enrolled and followed for one to six months after surgery through outpatient visits or telephone follow-up. Symptoms were recorded using a predefined structured proforma; no separate validated gastrointestinal symptom score was used. Of 70 enrolled patients, four who underwent open cholecystectomy were excluded, and eight were lost to follow-up, leaving 58 patients for final analysis. Paired preoperative and postoperative symptom status was compared using the exact McNemar test. Results: Among the 58 patients who completed follow-up, 39 were femal
