Abstract
Background Limited data are available describing left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) and age-related outcomes in Asians. Objectives This study summarizes the initial experience with LAAC in Japan and determines age-related clinical outcomes in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous LAAC. Methods In an ongoing, prospective, investigator-initiated, multicenter, observational registry of patients undergoing LAAC in Japan, we analyzed short-term clinical outcomes in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation who underwent LAAC. Patients were classified into younger, middle-aged, and elderly groups (≤70, 70 to 80, and >80 years of age, respectively) to determine age-related outcomes. Results Patients (n = 548; mean age, 76.4 ± 8.1 years; male, 70.3%) who underwent LAAC at 19 Japanese centers between September 2019 and June 2021 were enrolled in the study, including 104, 271, and 173 patients in the younger, middle-aged, and elderly groups, respectively. Participants had a high-risk of bleeding and thromboembolism with a mean CHADS2 score of 3.1 ± 1.3, a mean CHA2DS2-VASc score of 4.7 ± 1.5, and a mean HAS-BLED score of 3.2 ± 1.0. Device success rates were 96.5% and anticoagulants discontinuation at the 45-day follow-up was achieved in 89.9%. In-hospital outcomes were not significantly different, but major bleeding events during the 45-day follow-up were significantly higher in the elderly group compared to the other groups (younger vs middle-aged vs elderly, 1.0% vs 3.7% vs 6.9%, respectively; P = 0.047) despite the same postoperative drug regimens. Conclusions The initial Japanese experience with LAAC demonstrated safety and efficacy; however, perioperative bleeding events were more common in the elderly and postoperative drug regimens must be tailored (OCEAN-LAAC [Optimized Catheter Valvular Intervention-Left Atrial Appendage Closure] registry; UMIN000038498).

Abstract
The etiology of coronary artery disease (CAD) is multifactorial, stemming from both modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors such as age. Several studies have reported the effects of age on various outcomes of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This article reviews age-related outcomes of CABG and offers direction for further studies in the field to create comprehensive, evidence-based guidelines for the treatment of CAD. Ninety-two primary sources were analyzed for relevance to the subject matter, of which 17 were selected for further analysis: 14 retrospective cohort studies, 2 randomized clinical trials, and 1 meta-analysis. Our review revealed four broad age ranges into which patients can be grouped: those with CAD (1) below the age of 40 years, (2) between the ages of 40 and 60 years, (3) between the ages of 60 and 80 years, and (4) at or above 80 years. Patients below the age of 40 years fare best overall with total arterial revascularization (TAR). Patients between the ages of 40 and 60 years also fare well with the use of multiarterial grafts (MAGs) whereas either MAGs or single-arterial grafts may be of significant benefit to patients at or above the age of 60 years, with younger and diabetic patients benefitting the most. Arterial grafting is superior to vein grafting until the age of 80 years, at which point there is promising evidence supporting the continued use of the saphenous vein as the favored graft substrate. Age is a factor affecting the outcomes of CABG but should not serve as a barrier to offering patients CABG at any age from either a cost or a health perspective. Operative intervention starts to show significant mortality consequences at the age of 80 years, but the increased risk is countered by maintenance or improvement to patients' quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The extent to which age impacts surgical outcomes remains poorly characterized. This study aims to evaluate the impact of age on 30-day outcomes in patients after distal pancreatectomy. METHODS Using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database (2017), distal pancreatectomy patients were identified and age-stratified, groups A (≤75 years) and B (>75 years). Outcomes included 30-day mortality, morbidity, readmissions, operative time (min), and hospital length of stay (LOS, days). RESULTS Of 3042 total patients identified, 1686 (55.4%) were women. A total of 2649 patients (87.1%) were in group A. Overall, both groups had similar baseline characteristics with the exception of the following: diabetes mellitus (24.8% vs. 30.0%, P = .03), smoking (19.3% vs. 4.8%, P < .001), congestive heart failure (.5% vs. 1.8%, P = .010), hypertension (HTN) (47.9% vs. 72.5%, P < .001), bleeding disorders (3.1% vs. 5.3%, P = .036), the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) (III-V) scores (67.6% vs. 85.5%, P < .001), and body mass index (29.2 [±6.7] vs. 27.4 [±5.6], P = .001).Deep surgical site infection was higher in group A (12.1% vs. 6.6%, P = .001), while acute renal failure (ARF) and postoperative myocardial infarction (MI) were higher in group B. 30-day readmissions were higher in group A (17.4% vs. 12.2%, P = .011) despite no statistically significant difference in LOS (7.10 [±6.36] vs. 7.30 [±4.93] days, P = .553) or overall morbidity (29.4% vs. 28.8%, P = .859). CONCLUSION(S) Those undergoing distal pancreatectomy experienced similar overall morbidity and mortality outcomes regardless of age. However, those older than 75 years had more cardiovascular risk factors, which may have contributed to their higher rates of postoperative ARF and MI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Comparisons of satisfaction rates following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) among large, age-differentiated, rigorously matched cohorts are lacking. Therefore, we compared satisfaction rates following TKA in large, age-differentiated, propensity score-matched cohorts. METHODS We identified primary TKAs performed for non-inflammatory arthritis in patients of ages 18-55 or 65-75, yielding 529 younger and 2001 older patients. Patient-reported outcomes were recorded pre-operatively and 2 years post-operatively. 1:1 propensity score matching between groups yielded 529 patient pairs. Matching was based on gender, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists grade, Charlson Comorbidity Index, and Short Form 12 Mental Health Component score. Outcomes were compared between matched groups using t-test and Wilcoxon rank-sum test. RESULTS Satisfaction with knee surgery was 86% among younger patients and 91% among older patients. Distribution of satisfaction responses was shifted toward greater satisfaction in older patients (P < .001). Overall quality of life (QOL) improvement was 91% among younger patients and 96% among older patients. Pre-operative and post-operative knee-related QOL was better among older patients (P < .0001). Post-operative global health-related QOL was equivalent between groups based on Short Form 12 Physical Component Score and Mental Health Component score (P = .6646 and P = .5705, respectively) and QOL improvement questionnaires (P = .181). Younger patients reported greater knee-related dysfunction and higher activity levels pre-operatively and post-operatively (P ≤ .0002). CONCLUSION Satisfaction with knee surgery was over 85% regardless of age. Younger patients perceived more knee-related dysfunction and dissatisfaction after surgery despite higher levels of self-reported activity pre-operatively and post-operatively.
