Clinical trials

This study aims to compare the clinical outcomes of debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) and implant removal/replacement methods used in the treatment of fracture-related infections, and to determine the infection-free fracture healing rates and the factors affecting treatment success.

This study aims to interpret the Bispectral Index (BIS) monitoring method, which we routinely use for monitoring in scoliosis surgery, with artificial intelligence (AI) tools and to determine the accuracy and reliability of AI tools in clinical practice by comparing this interpretation with the interpretations of two clinicians experienced in BIS.

The aim of the present study is to test the accuracy and reliability of AI tools in this regard by interpreting NIRS, which we routinely use for monitoring cerebral perfusion in cardiovascular surgery, with AI tools and comparing this interpretation with the interpretations of two clinicians.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the levels of systemic inflammatory markers such as PIV, SII, and NPAR in patients with benign and premalignant laryngeal lesions and to determine the diagnostic accuracy of these values using ROC analysis.

Acute pancreatitis is an important gastrointestinal emergency that may lead to mortality, particularly in older patients. This retrospective, single-center observational prognostic validation study aims to compare the predictive performance of the National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS-2) and NEWS-Calcium scores for in-hospital mortality in patients aged 65 years and older diagnosed with acute pancreatitis in the emergency department. Electronic medical records of eligible patients will be reviewed retrospectively. Demographic characteristics, vital signs, serum calcium levels, clinical outcomes, intensive care unit admission, organ failure, length of hospital stay, and in-hospital mortality will be recorded. NEWS-2 will be calculated using vital parameters at admission, while the NEWS-Calcium score will be obtained by adding a calcium-based score to NEWS-2. The primary outcome will be in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes will include intensive care unit admission, severe acute pancreatitis, persistent organ failure, and length of hospital stay. The predictive performances of the scores will be compared using ROC curve analysis, AUC values, and the DeLong test. This study aims to identify the most appropriate early prognostic score for older patients with acute pancreatitis and to support clinical decision-making in emergency settings.

The aim of this study is to determine the usability of echocardiographic PAP changes obtained from emergency department records in the early risk stratification of pulmonary embolism.

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effects of the recto-intercostal fascial plane block (RIFPB) or the rectus sheath block (RSB) combined with the pectoral-intercostal fascial plane block (PIFPB) on postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
