Patient Safety in Surgery, 2026
Surgical site infections (SSIs) continue to exert a substantial burden on healthcare systems, particularly in resource-limited settings where they contribute to prolonged hospitalizations, escalated costs, and increased patient morbidity. The ability to accurately predict SSI risk is essential for implementing targeted prevention strategies and optimizing resource allocation, especially in constrained environments. We conducted a retrospective cohort study utilizing data from 525 patients who underwent major gastrointestinal surgery at Al-Thora General Hospital, the sole Ibb University-affiliated tertiary hospital in Yemen, between January 2018 and December 2023. Four machine learning models (Logistic Regression, Random Forest, XGBoost, and Neural Network) were developed using 38 preoperative and intraoperative variables. Temporal validation was performed, with data from 2018 to 2022 used for model training (n = 420) and 2023 data (n = 105) reserved for testing. Model performance was evaluated by area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC), calibration metrics, and decision curve analysis. Subgroup analyses assessed model fairness across demographic and clinical strata. The observed SSI rate was 16.2%, consistent across both training and test sets. XGBoost achieved the highest predictive performance (AUROC: 0.934; 95% CI: 0.891–0.967; AUPRC: 0.809), outperforming logistic regression (AUROC: 0.868, p = 0.012) and neural network (AUROC: 0.890, p = 0.038) models. Random Forest also demonstrated competitive accuracy (AUROC: 0.924; AUPRC: 0.787). Robust performance was maintained across critical subgroups, with XGBoost yielding an AUROC of 0.967 among elderly patients and Random Forest achieving an AUROC of 0.979 among diabetic patients. All models systematically overestimated SSI risk (calibration slopes > 2.0), though XGBoost exhibited the best calibration (Brier score: 0.080). Decision curve analysis confirmed clinical utility within probability thresholds of 15–35%. Machine learning models, specifically XGBoost and Random Forest, can accurately predict SSI risk following major gastrointestinal surgery in the Yemeni healthcare context. Despite calibration limitations, these models demonstrate strong discriminative ability and clinical utility, supporting their use for risk stratification in resource-limited settings. The development of a simplified risk score offers a pragmatic alternative for implementation in environments with limited technological infrastructure.

Ebrahim Al-Shami, Khaled Al-Kohlany, Faisal Ahmed, Qasem Alyhari, Saleh Al-wageeh
Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, 2026
Introduction: Hydatid disease, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, typically affects the liver and lungs. Isolated retroperitoneal involvement is extremely rare, especially in children. Case presentation: An 8-year-old girl from a rural farming area presented with progressive right flank pain for three months and a history of livestock contact. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a 10 × 12 cm cystic lesion with a hyperechogenic membrane. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) further characterized the lesion, demonstrating a large (12 × 10 cm), multivesicular, multiseptated retroperitoneal cyst with a solid matrix containing multiple daughter cysts, consistent with World Health Organization (WHO) Informal Working Group on Echinococcosis classification of Type CE3b. The cyst was adherent to liver segment VI and extended directly into the renal parenchyma without pelvicalyceal communication. No other organ involvement was detected. Serology was positive for Echinococcus IgG by ELISA. Following seven days of preoperative albendazole (15 mg/kg/day), she underwent total nephron-sparing cystectomy with intraoperative sterilization using 20% hypertonic saline. The cyst contents, including multiple daughter cysts, were completely evacuated and the cyst wall excised. The procedure was uneventful aside from dense adhesions to the liver. Histopathology confirmed a hydatid cyst. Postoperative albendazole (15 mg/kg/day) was continued for three months, and at 12-month follow-up, no recurrence was observed. Conclusion: Hydatid cyst should be included in the differential diagnosis of children who have isolated retroperitoneal cysts.

Background: Laparoscopic ureterolithotomy (LU) is a standard intervention for large proximal ureteral stones. A significant technical consideration is whether to suture the ureterotomy site or utilize a sutureless approach to potentially minimize operative time and surgical morbidity. This study aimed to compare the perioperative outcomes and safety profiles of sutureless vs conventional sutured transperitoneal LU.Methods: We conducted a retrospective comparative study of 60 patients with proximal ureteral stones >15 mm who underwent transperitoneal LU between January 2023 and March 2025. Patients were divided into two groups: a sutured group (n=30), where the ureterotomy was closed with interrupted sutures, and a sutureless group (n=30), where the site was left unsutured over a Double-J stent. Primary and secondary outcomes included operative time, urinary leakage volume (measured via drain output), hospital stay, and postoperative renal function.Results: Baseline demographics and stone characteristics were comparable between the groups. The sutureless technique was associated with a significantly shorter mean operative time (2.2±0.3 h vs 2.7±0.4 h; p<0.001). While the duration of ureteral stenting was statistically longer in the sutureless group (17.7±4.4 days vs 16.1±5.2 days; p=0.050), this difference was clinically marginal. There were no significant differences in the volume of postoperative urinary leakage (p=0.066), hospital stay, or changes in serum creatinine and hemoglobin levels. No cases of urinoma or ureteral stricture were observed in either cohort during the early follow-up period.Conclusions: The sutureless technique for laparoscopic ureterolithotomy is a safe and efficient alternative that significantly reduces operative time without increasing the risk of major complications. Although it involves a statistically longer stenting period, the overall clinical outcomes are comparable to the sutured technique. The choice of approach should be individualized based on surgeon expertise and patient-specific anatomical factors.

Background: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the gold standard for managing large renal calculi; however, data on its long-term efficacy in resource-limited settings such as Yemen are scarce. We evaluated the outcomes and complications of PCNL surgery in resource limited settings over a nine-year period in a high-volume centre in Ibb City, Yemen.Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 1,458 patients who underwent PCNL between October 2016 and June 2025. Data included patient demographics, stone characteristics, surgical techniques (standard, mini-PCNL, and supine), and outcomes. The stone-free rate (SFR) was defined as the absence of fragments greater than 4 mm on follow-up imaging at three months. Complications were classified using the Clavien-Dindo system.Results: The cohort comprised 763 (52.3%) males and 695 (47.7%) females with a mean age of 43.8±17.5 years (range: 2-87 years). Staghorn calculi were present in 647 cases (44.4%). Prone lower-pole access was the predominant approach (58.2%), with a progressive institutional shift toward mini-PCNL (5.7%), supine PCNL (3.1%), and ultrasound-guided access (1.4%) in later years. The primary stone-free rate after a single session was 76.0%, increasing to a final SFR of 92.6% following auxiliary interventions including repeat PCNL, ureteroscopy (2.8%), ESWL (1.5%), and conservative management of clinically insignificant residual fragments (6.0%). Major complications (Clavien-Dindo Grade III-V) occurred in 1.44% of cases, including colonic perforation (0.41%) and conversion to open surgery (0.62%). Mortality rate was 0.14% (n=2). Minor complications (Grade I-II) affected 17.4% of patients, predominantly postoperative pain (7.3%) and transient fever (5.3%).Conclusions: This large series demonstrates that PCNL can be performed with high stone-free rates and acceptable morbidity in resource-limited settings despite a high prevalence of complex staghorn calculi. The progressive adoption of miniaturized and supine techniques reflects institutional adaptability and confirms the feasibility of implementing contemporary endourological standards in low-resource environments.

Background: Khat (Catha edulis) chewing is highly prevalent in Yemen, but its potential urological effects are poorly characterized. The pharmacological action of its alkaloids on alpha-adrenergic receptors suggests a plausible link to voiding dysfunction. This study explored the association between khat chewing patterns, concurrent stimulant use, and lower urinary tract symptom (LUTS) severity.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 112 medical and paramedical university students from seven Yemeni governorates completed a structured digital questionnaire being recruited via convenience sampling. LUTS severity was assessed using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). Exposure variables included khat chewing (status, duration, daily hours), coffee, soda, and tobacco use. Participants were categorized into poly-substance use clusters. Multivariable linear and logistic regression models identified predictors of LUTS, adjusting for confounders including age and sex.Results: Among participants (mean age 24.3±5.7 years), 86 (76.8%) were current khat chewers. A significant dose-response relationship was observed. Each additional hour of daily chewing was associated with a 1.85-point increase in IPSS score (95% CI: 1.32-2.38; p<0.001). The concurrent use of khat, coffee, and soda was associated with the highest mean symptom score (21.4) and a significantly elevated adjusted odds ratio for severe LUTS (IPSS ≥20) of 17.15 (95% CI: 6.28-47.10; p<0.001) compared to non-users. Daily coffee consumption and tobacco smoking were also independent predictors of higher IPSS scores.Conclusions: Among this sample of Yemeni university students, khat chewing demonstrated a strong, dose-dependent association with more severe LUTS. This association was markedly amplified by the co-use of caffeine-containing beverages. While the cross-sectional design precludes causal inference, these findings highlight a potential public health concern and underscore the need for longitudinal studies and clinical awareness of urological symptoms in khat-chewing populations.

Seyed Ali Eslahi, Leila Malekmakan, Mohammad Mehdi Hosseini, Ali Karami, Seyed Hossein Hosseini, Faisal Mohammed Ahmed
Nephro Urology Monthly, 2026
Background: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the gold-standard treatment for large renal stones. The prone position, traditionally used, may impair cardiopulmonary function due to thoracoabdominal compression, whereas the supine position offers potential physiological and practical advantages. Objectives: To compare intraoperative hemodynamic and respiratory stability between supine and prone PCNL. Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort study analyzed 40 patients (supine = 20, prone = 20) undergoing PCNL between January-December 2023. Inclusion criteria were age ≥ 18 years, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I/II, and renal pelvic stones ≥ 2 cm. Groups were matched for age, sex, BMI, stone size, and ASA status. All procedures followed a standardized anesthetic protocol. Primary outcomes were intraoperative blood pressure, heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation (SpO₂), and end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO₂). Secondary outcomes included fluid administration, anesthesia duration, and operative time. Data were analyzed using independent t-tests; estimates are unadjusted. Results: The prone position was associated with significant hemodynamic instability, manifesting as profoundly lower SBP and DBP and a higher HR throughout the procedure (e.g., at 80 min: SBP 89.5 ± 4.6 vs. 133.3 ± 12.4 mmHg, P < 0.001; HR 114.8 ± 11.8 vs. 75.8 ± 3.4 bpm, P < 0.001). Pulmonary function was also compromised in the prone group, as evidenced by significantly lower SpO₂ (nadir: 96.8 ± 1.3% vs. 100%, P < 0.001) and elevated ETCO₂ (peak: 40.9 ± 1.2 vs. 34.9 ± 0.4 mmHg, P < 0.001). Furthermore, patients in the prone position required greater intraoperative fluid resuscitation (1950.0 ± 484.0 mL vs. 1475.0 ± 472.3 mL, P = 0.003) and experienced a longer anesthesia duration (158.3 ± 25.0 vs. 118.3 ± 18.3 min, P < 0.001). Operative time, complications, and stone-free rates (SFRs) were comparable among the groups. Conclusions: Supine PCNL may offer superior intraoperative physiological stability, with improved hemodynamics, preserved respiratory function, reduced fluid needs, and shorter anesthesia duration, without compromising surgical efficacy. These findings support supine positioning as a potentially safer alternative for selected patients, though further prospective validation is warranted.

Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Care, 2026
Introduction: Taxane-based chemotherapy is an effective treatment for breast cancer but frequently causes chemotherapy-induced musculoskeletal pain syndrome, a toxicity that significantly impairs patients’ quality of life. Despite its clinical importance, epidemiological data on this syndrome from Middle Eastern populations are limited. This study aimed to assess the prevalence, predictors, and quality-of-life impact of chemotherapy-induced musculoskeletal pain syndrome among breast cancer patients in Iran. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 151 Iranian women with breast cancer receiving chemotherapy were enrolled. Patients were stratified by regimen: paclitaxel (n=119), docetaxel (n=9), or non-taxane controls (n=23). CHIMPS was evaluated using the validated Persian version of the McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ). Multivariable logistic regression was employed to identify independent predictors of severe pain (defined as a numerical rating scale score ≥8). Results: The overall prevalence of CHIMPS was 72.2% (109/151), with significant variation across regimens: 80.7% for paclitaxel, 66.7% for docetaxel, and 30.4% for non-taxane controls (χ²=29.4, p<0.001). Severe pain was more common in taxane recipients (paclitaxel: 52.1%; docetaxel: 66.7%) versus controls (28.6%; p=0.007). Key independent predictors of severe CHIMPS included docetaxel regimen (adjusted odds ratio [OR]=4.92, 95% CI: 1.87–12.93; p=0.001), pain onset within ≤2 days post-infusion (OR=3.21, 95% CI: 1.65–6.24; p=0.008), and nocturnal pain (OR=2.97, 95% CI: 1.42–6.18; p=0.004). The syndrome profoundly disrupted QOL, most notably in daily activities (95.4%), sleep (85.3%), and mobility (80.7%). Chemotherapy delays due to pain were uncommon (4.6%). Conclusions: This study identifies a high burden of CHIMPS among breast cancer patients receiving taxane-based chemotherapy. The predictors identified specific taxane agent, early pain onset, and nocturnal pain provide a clinical framework for early risk stratification and proactive management to preserve treatment adherence and quality of life.

Introduction: medication adherence is crucial for managing heart failure (HF), yet non-adherence remains a significant challenge, particularly in resource-limited settings. Data on its determinants and impact in Yemen are scarce. This study aimed to identify predictors of clinician-documented non-adherence and evaluate its impact on readmission and mortality in a Yemeni HF cohort. Methods: we conducted a retrospective cohort study of 162 HF patients at Al-Thawra General Hospital, Ibb, Yemen, from January 2021 to January 2025. The exposure was clinician-documented medication non-adherence. Primary outcomes were hospital readmission and all-cause mortality within 180 days. Independent predictors were identified using multivariate logistic regression. Outcomes were compared using chi-square tests, with relative risks (RR) and number needed to harm (NNH) calculated. Results: medication non-adherence was documented in 64 patients (39.5%). Independent predictors included older age (adjusted Odds Ratio [aOR] 1.15 per year; 95% CI: 1.09-1.22; p<0.001), male gender (aOR 4.1; 95% CI: 1.1-15.2; p=0.017), smoking (aOR 12.4; 95% CI: 3.3-47.4; p=0.015), khat chewing (aOR 2.95; 95% CI: 1.21-7.19; p=0.018), and chronic kidney disease (aOR 4.12; 95% CI: 1.02-16.67; p=0.047). Non-adherent patients had significantly higher readmission (79.7% vs. 13.3%; RR 6.0; 95% CI: 3.5-10.2) and mortality rates (25.0% vs. 6.1%; RR 4.1; 95% CI: 1.7-9.8). The NNH was 2.1 for readmission and 5.3 for mortality. Conclusion: in this single-centre Yemeni cohort, clinician-documented non-adherence was prevalent and strongly predicted by specific demographic, behavioral, and clinical factors. The independent predictors of non-adherence in this setting include advanced age, male gender, smoking, khat chewing, and chronic kidney disease. Non-adherence was associated with a dramatically increased risk of readmission and death. These findings highlight the urgent need for targeted interventions addressing modifiable risks like smoking and khat use to improve outcomes in this and similar settings.

Introduction: anemia is a critical public health burden in Yemen, exacerbated by protracted conflict. Detailed data on its morphological patterns, severity, and specific risk factors within clinical settings are scarce. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, morphological subtypes, severity, and independent predictors of anemia among patients in Ibb Governorate, Yemen. Methods: this was a retrospective cross-sectional study analyzing hematological data from patients attending a private tertiary laboratory clinic in Ibb City between March and October 2021. A final cohort of 320 anemic patients was derived from 7,928 records. Anemia and its severity were classified using World Health Organization (WHO) criteria. Nutritional deficiencies were defined using a two-step process: initial hematological screening followed by biochemical confirmation (serum ferritin, B12, folate) where available. Multivariable logistic regression identified independent predictors of severe/life-threatening anemia (hemoglobin <8.0 g/dL). Results: the mean age was 29.4 ± 20.1 years; 59.7% were female. Moderate anemia was most prevalent (49.4%), while severe and life-threatening anemia collectively affected 29.7% of patients. Microcytic anemia was the dominant morphological subtype (56.9%). Confirmed iron deficiency was the leading nutritional deficiency (35.0%). In the adjusted model, female sex (adjusted Odds Ratio [aOR] 1.87; 95% CI 1.22-2.87), rural residence (aOR 2.05; 95% CI 1.28-3.28), confirmed iron deficiency (aOR 3.52; 95% CI 2.01-6.15), and age >50 years (aOR 1.75; 95% CI 1.04-2.94) were independent predictors of severe anemia. Conclusion: this study reveals a high burden of moderate-to-severe anemia in a Yemeni clinical population, primarily linked to iron deficiency. The significant associations with female sex, rural residence, and older age highlight profound health disparities. These findings underscore the urgent need for targeted nutritional interventions, strengthened rural healthcare access, and context-specific public health strategies to mitigate anemia in conflict-affected Yemen.
