Aspirin Use in Patients Undergoing Preoperative Evaluation for Minor Surgery
Full text linkWe found that 505 patients were treated with aspirin (16.8%), 312 men (61.8%) and 193 women (38.2%) (P < .05). In the group of patients treated with aspirin we found that 379 subjects—254 men (67%) and 125 women (33%)—were treated with aspirin according to guidelines for prevention of cardiovascular disease. In addition, 32 patients (all men) were treated with aspirin outside of guideline indications. Seven hundred ninety-eight patients (26.6%) that needed aspirin or antiplatelet therapy due to their cardiovascular risk were not treated, despite having no contraindication or allergy, and 126 patients discontinued aspirin despite appropriate indication

Polyphenols, Mediterranean diet, and colon cancer

The article aimed to identify and validate risk factors that contribute to prolonged length of hospital stay (LOS) in a prospective cohort study that included 1955 patients undergoing resection for colorectal cancer. They found that some of the strongest independent predictors of prolonged LOS, such as surgical infections or open surgery, could be modified to reduce LOS and, in turn, other adverse outcomes
