Sizeable case-series continue to be reported in the international literature and figures from 2013 show an increase in the total cases of tetanus recorded by the World Health Organization.
The substantial size will yield sizeable cases of common cancers (e.g. esophageal carcinoma, gastric cancer, and liver cancer), stroke, and coronary heart disease and generate sample statistical power in estimating the relationship between common exposures where the disease outcome dependent on exposure is also common.
Although preoperative modification of this risk factor may not be possible in a sizeable number of cases, clinicians could consider weaning patients off ventilators prior to surgery.
In fact, it would be applicable only for a sizeable number of cases from Italy, Slovenia, Spain, Tunisia and Turkey.
