Metodología de monitorización autónoma de redes móviles

The fifth generation (5G) of mobile networks leads to novel services and heterogeneous scenarios that increase the complexity of management and orchestration tasks. In this context, Self-Organizing Networks (SON) are highly important to automatically monitor the network. This will allow to detect potential network failures and optimize the network performance. This paper proposes a methodology to automatically monitor a mobile network based on key performance indicators.Este trabajo ha sido financiado parcialmente por el Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad de España en el marco del acuerdo de subvención RTC-2017-6661-7 (NEREA) y por la Junta de Andalucía mediante UMA-CEIATECH-11 (DAMA-5G), por FEDER, y en el marco del Proyecto de Excelencia PENTA (P18-FR-4647), por la Consejería de Transformación Económica, Industria, Conocimiento y Universidades.

The impact of surgical delay on resectability of colorectal cancer: An international prospective cohort study

AimThe SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has provided a unique opportunity to explore the impact of surgical delays on cancer resectability. This study aimed to compare resectability for colorectal cancer patients undergoing delayed versus non-delayed surgery.MethodsThis was an international prospective cohort study of consecutive colorectal cancer patients with a decision for curative surgery (January-April 2020). Surgical delay was defined as an operation taking place more than 4 weeks after treatment decision, in a patient who did not receive neoadjuvant therapy. A subgroup analysis explored the effects of delay in elective patients only. The impact of longer delays was explored in a sensitivity analysis. The primary outcome was complete resection, defined as curative resection with an R0 margin.ResultsOverall, 5453 patients from 304 hospitals in 47 countries were included, of whom 6.6% (358/5453) did not receive their planned operation. Of the 4304 operated patients without neoadjuvant therapy, 40.5% (1744/4304) were delayed beyond 4 weeks. Delayed patients were more likely to be older, men, more comorbid, have higher body mass index and have rectal cancer and early stage disease. Delayed patients had higher unadjusted rates of complete resection (93.7% vs. 91.9%, P = 0.032) and lower rates of emergency surgery (4.5% vs. 22.5%, P ConclusionOne in 15 colorectal cancer patients did not receive their planned operation during the first wave of COVID-19. Surgical delay did not appear to compromise resectability, raising the hypothesis that any reduction in long-term survival attributable to delays is likely to be due to micro-metastatic disease
