UnknownProtecting stable biological nomenclatural systems enables universal communication: A collective international appeal.
The fundamental value of universal nomenclatural systems in biology is that they enable unambiguous scientific communication. However, the stability of these systems is threatened by recent discussions asking for a fairer nomenclature, raising the possibility of bulk revision processes for "inapprop...

UnknownOutcomes of urgent gastrointestinal-related procedures in Latin America (LATAM-URG): a prospective multicentre study.

Background

Urgent abdominal operations represent a large proportion of surgical care and are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Evidence is scarce from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including Latin America (LA). The lack of regionally representative outcomes dat...

UnknownEvaluation of a quality improvement intervention to reduce anastomotic leak following right colectomy (EAGLE): pragmatic, batched stepped-wedge, cluster-randomized trial in 64 countries.

Background

Anastomotic leak affects 8 per cent of patients after right colectomy with a 10-fold increased risk of postoperative death. The EAGLE study aimed to develop and test whether an international, standardized quality improvement intervention could reduce anastomotic leaks.

UnknownOutcomes after perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with proximal femoral fractures: an international cohort study.

Objectives

Studies have demonstrated high rates of mortality in people with proximal femoral fracture and SARS-CoV-2, but there is limited published data on the factors that influence mortality for clinicians to make informed treatment decisions. This study aims to report the 30-day mortalit...

UnknownEvaluation of appendicitis risk prediction models in adults with suspected appendicitis.

Background

Appendicitis is the most common general surgical emergency worldwide, but its diagnosis remains challenging. The aim of this study was to determine whether existing risk prediction models can reliably identify patients presenting to hospital in the UK with acute right iliac fossa ...
