Incidence of 12‐month postoperative cognitive decline following regional vs. general anaesthesia in older patients undergoing hip fracture surgery: follow‐up of the RAGA trial

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Data regarding the incidence of 12‐month postoperative cognitive decline following regional or general anaesthesia in older patients undergoing hip fracture surgery remain observational. Compared with general anaesthesia, we hypothesised that regional anaesthesia would decrease the incidence of 12‐month postoperative cognitive ...

Doubly Robust-Based Generalized Estimating Equations for the Analysis of Longitudinal Ordinal Missing Data [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
Generalized Estimation Equations (GEE) are a well-known method for the analysis of non-Gaussian longitudinal data. This method has computational simplicity and marginal parameter interpretation. However, in the presence of missing data, it is only valid under the strong assumption of missing completely at random (MCAR).

Patient perception of consent processes for epidural analgesia in induction of labour: a qualitative study

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Women undergoing induction of labour often utilise epidural analgesia. Obtaining consent for labour epidural presents a unique challenge for the obstetric anaesthetist, who must comply with the legal standards of consent. This study explores how women perceive the consent process for epidural analgesia during induction of labour ...
