Identifying outcome domains to establish a core outcome set for progressive pulmonary fibrosis: a scoping review.
Eur Respir Rev
January 2025
Dept of Public Health and Primary Care, Academic Centre for Nursing and Midwifery, KU Leuven - University of Leuven, Leuven, Belgium
Introduction: People with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and other forms of progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) have a high symptom burden and a poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Despite efforts to offer specialised treatment, clinical care for these patients remains suboptimal and several nonmedical needs remain unaddressed. Developing a core outcome set (COS) can help to identify a minimum set of agreed-upon outcomes that should be measured and acted-upon in clinical care.

Objectives: To summarise the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on urological practice globally with a focus on Australian initiatives, as the pandemic resulted in radical changes in healthcare infrastructure and policies.
Methods: We conducted a literature review of the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Excerpta Medica dataBASE (EMBASE) and Web of Science medical databases. The key terms used to conduct our search algorithm comprised of 'COVID', 'wait list or wait time or delay', 'urology', 'surgery' and 'outcomes', and generated 231 articles.
Peri-operative identification and management of patients with unhealthy alcohol intake.
Anaesthesia
January 2025
Consultant, Department of Peri-operative Medicine, University College London Hospitals NHS Trust, London, UK.
Introduction: This consensus statement gives practical advice for the safe management of patients with harmful alcohol intake undergoing elective and emergency surgery. The wide spectrum of alcohol-related organ dysfunction observed in this cohort of patients may have a profound impact on care, and the additional effects of alcohol withdrawal may further exacerbate postoperative morbidity and mortality.
Methods: A working party was assembled based on clinical and/or academic expertise in the area.
Development and Feasibility Study of a Triage Tool for Early Referral to Spinal Cord Stimulation for Patients With Chronic Low Back and Leg Pain.
Eur J Pain
February 2025
Department of Anesthesiology, Pain and Palliative Medicine, Radboudumc, Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
Background: In recent years, delayed elective care and growing waiting lists increasingly resulted in postponed surgeries for patients with chronic back and leg pain.
Objective: To develop, implement, and evaluate the feasibility of a triage tool for patients with chronic back and/or leg pain to identify those eligible for referral to spinal cord stimulation (SCS) consultation.
Methods: A triage tool was developed, based on Dutch SCS guidelines, literature review and expert panel consultation.
Emergency cholecystectomy: risk factors and impact of delay on electively booked patients, a 5-year experience of a tertiary care center.
BMC Surg
December 2024
Department of Surgery-Surgical Oncology, Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs, King Abdulaziz Medical City, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Article Synopsis
- Gallstone disease significantly strains healthcare resources, particularly through emergency cholecystectomy, yet there's limited research on the risk factors that lead to such emergencies in patients scheduled for elective surgery.
- A study conducted in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, analyzed 823 patients, revealing that 15.67% underwent emergency cholecystectomy, often due to longer waiting times and previous emergency department visits.
- Key findings indicated that patients with acute cholecystitis or pancreatitis, and those with multiple prior ED visits, are at a much higher risk of requiring emergency surgery.
