Delay in Source Control in Perforated Peptic Ulcer Leads to 6% Increased Risk of Death Per Hour: A Nationwide Cohort Study (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019, Société Internationale de Chirurgie. Background: Delay to theatre for patients with intra-abdominal sepsis is cited as a particular risk factor for death. Our aim was to evaluate the potential relationship between hourly delay from admission...

Long-term outcomes of biological mesh repair following extra levator abdominoperineal excision of the rectum: an observational study of 100 patients (2019)
Journal Article

Background Current evidence suggests that pelvic floor reconstruction following extralevator abdominoperineal excision of rectum (ELAPER) may reduce the risk of perineal herniation of intra-abdominal contents. Options for reconstruction include mesh...

Why most published meta-analysis findings are false (2019)
Journal Article

Almost a decade after the controversial paper ‘why most published research findings are false’ was written [1], we re-visit this concern with regard to published meta-analyses. Although reading the title of this article may make some pause for though... Read More about Why most published meta-analysis findings are false.

Association between surgeon special interest and mortality after emergency laparotomy (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 BJS Society Ltd Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd Background: Approximately 30 000 emergency laparotomies are performed each year in England and Wales. Patients with pathology of the gastrointestinal tract requiring emergency laparotomy are... Read More about Association between surgeon special interest and mortality after emergency laparotomy.

The acute transcriptional response to resistance exercise: impact of age and contraction mode (2019)
Journal Article

Optimization of resistance exercise (RE) remains a hotbed of research for muscle building and maintenance. However, the interactions between the contractile components of RE (i.e. concentric (CON) and eccentric (ECC)) and age, are poorly defined. We...

Surgical interventions for the treatment of sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease in children: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2019)
Journal Article

Background Pilonidal sinus disease (PNS) is not uncommon in children. Controversy remains over the best treatment and there is limited evidence. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to establish which techniques have the best outcomes in...

Quick and simple: psoas density measurement is an independent predictor of anastomotic leak and other complications after colorectal resection (2019)
Journal Article

Purpose: Radiologically-defined sarcopenia has been shown to predict negative outcomes after cancer surgery, however radiological assessment of sarcopenia often requires additional software and standardisation against anthropomorphic data. Measuring... Read More about Quick and simple: psoas density measurement is an independent predictor of anastomotic leak and other complications after colorectal resection.
