    Abstract Many early warning algorithms are downstream of clinical evaluation and diagnostic testing, which means that they may not be useful when clinicians fail to suspect illness and fail to order appropriate tests. Depending on how such algorithms handle missing data, they could even indicate "low risk" simply because the testing data were never ordered. We considered predictive methodologies to identify sepsis at triage, before diagnostic tests are ordered, in a busy Emergency Department (ED). One algorithm used "bland clinical data" (data available at triage for nearly every patient). The second algorithm added three yes/no questions to be answered after the triage interview. Retrospectively, we studied adult patients from a single ED between 2014-16, separated into training (70%) and testing (30%) cohorts, and a final validation cohort of patients from four EDs between 2016-2018. Sepsis was defined per the Rhee criteria. Investigational predictors were demographics and triage vital signs (downloaded from the hospital EMR); past medical history; and the auxiliary queries (answered by chart reviewers who were blinded to all data except the triage note and initial HPI). We developed L2-regularized logistic regression models using a greedy forward feature selection. There were 1164, 499, and 784 patients in the training, testing, and validation cohorts, respectively. The bland clinical data model yielded ROC AUC's 0.78 (0.76-0.81) and 0.77 (0.73-0.81), for training and testing, respectively, and ranged from 0.74-0.79 in four hospital validation. The second model which included auxiliary queries yielded 0.84 (0.82-0.87) and 0.83 (0.79-0.86), and ranged from 0.78-0.83 in four hospital validation. The first algorithm did not require clinician input but yielded middling performance. The second showed a trend towards superior performance, though required additional user effort. These methods are alternatives to predictive algorithms downstream of clinical evaluation and diagnostic testing. For hospital early warning algorithms, consideration should be given to bias and usability of various methods.

    Abstract Background: Robotic surgery has been developed to address the technical limitations of laparoscopic surgery and might result in similar outcomes for patients with low and high body mass index (BMI).
    Methods: Demographic, peri-operative data and surrogate oncologic markers for colorectal cancer of patients that underwent robotic colorectal procedures were collected in a prospective database and analyzed.
    Results: 103 consecutive patients (36 normal-weight, 33 overweight, 34 obese) underwent robotic colorectal surgery from 11/2011 to 05/2012. While operating room (OR) time was longer for the obese patients (123.4 vs 137.9 and 154.7 min), results for estimated blood loss (104.2 vs 153 and 155.9 mL), conversions (2.8 vs 6.1 and 5.9%), complications (19.4 vs 21.2 and 32.4%), re-admissions (11.1 vs 112.1 and 20.6) and mortality (0% for all) were comparable. BMI did not affect the surrogate markers in patients with malignancies.
    Conclusions: Data demonstrates that patient BMI does not have a significant impact on short-term clinical outcomes during robotic colorectal surgery. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
