Assessment of D-FRS on external cohort in San Raffaele, Milan, Italy
AUC 0.49, discrimination and calibration poor.
👉 Shows nicely why external validation is so important!
Would love to see DISPAIR-FRS further validated externally!

Sigmoid resection vs conservative treatment for recurrent diverticulitis:
No difference in QOL or complications
Recurrences 16% vs 92%
BUT, 32% crossed conservative>surgery (pts w low QOL)
Interpretation🤔: Surgery for pts w low QOL

Predicting risk for pancreatic fistula after left pancreatectomy:

DISPAIR and D-FRS performed poorly
👉 We combined and validated new DISPAIR-FRS score with better performance

Kommentoimme Panu Mentulan kanssa vuonna 1893 julkaistua kirjoitusta appendisiitista. Jo tuolloin tunnistettiin spontaanisti paraneva appendisiitti, jota silloin hoidettiin konservatiivisesti. Nyt ympyrä sulkeutuu, kun tähän ollaan palaamassa.

What are your thoughts? Will this change how you treat chronic pancreatitis?
