The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scale is commonly used to subjectively estimate preoperative health status. Although originally created to collect statistical data and reporting in anaesthesia, it is now used to predict perioperative risk (3-5). With this scale, patients are divided according to how their underlying medical problems produce functional impediments to their daily activities (Table 1). Risks inherent to a specific procedure are not incorporated into the ASA classification. The Assess Respiratory Risk in Surgical Patients in Catalonia (ARISCAT) risk index is another tool based on easily assessed seven factors. The index can be used to assess individual risk of POPC2 (Table 2). Methods Patient population We retrospectively reviewed medical records of patients who underwent upper and lower abdominal surgery (LAS) in our institution between January and June 2017. Upper abdominal surgeries included cholecystectomy, gastrec

This study aimed to determine the possibility of a higher risk of atherosclerosis in asthma patients compared with healthy controls by measuring carotid elasticity and distensibility. This was a cross-sectional study on 326 participants including 221 patients (129 [58.37%] females) with persistent asthma, aged 46.47±11.58 years, body mass index (BMI) of 29.74±3.99, and 105 healthy control subjects (60 [57.14%] females) aged 46.08±11.35 years, and BMI of 29.42±3.76. Of the 221 patients with asthma, 75 (33.93%) had mild, 74 (33.48%) had moderate and 72 (32.57%) had severe asthma. The carotid distensibility and elasticity were recorded and compared in both patients and control groups. There was no statistically significant difference between the patients and healthy control groups in terms of age, BMI and gender (p=0.775, p=0.482, ...
