Volume–outcome relationship of liver surgery: a nationwide analysis

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), Volume 107, Issue 7, Page 917-926, June 2020., 2020
This study analysed the association between hospital volume and postoperative outcomes in the nationwide Dutch Hepato Biliary Audit. A total of 5590 resections was performed across 34 centres with a median annual centre volume of 35 (i.q.r. 20–69) procedures. No association was found between hospital and postoperative outcomes.

Factors affecting mortality after traumatic brain injury in a resource‐poor setting

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 320-325, April 2020., 2020
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) in 194 patients in a resource‐poor setting was analysed. Some 30·9 per cent had severe TBI, and associated skull fracture was observed in 8·8 per cent. Treatments offered were mainly conservative. The mortality rate was 33·0 per cent, with 72 per cent resulting from severe head injury.

Nationwide in‐hospital mortality rate following rectal resection for rectal cancer according to annual hospital volume in Germany

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 310-319, April 2020., 2020
In‐hospital mortality after rectal cancer surgery is strongly correlated with annual hospital caseload. This is the result of an increased failure‐to‐rescue rate in the case of postoperative complications in low‐volume hospitals rather than the result of an increased overall rate of complications.

Influence of socioeconomic status on immediate breast reconstruction rate, patient information and involvement in surgical decision‐making

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 232-240, April 2020., 2020
Socioeconomic factors independently influence immediate breast reconstruction rates in Sweden. Patient‐reported information and involvement in the surgical decision‐making process remain independent predictors of the likelihood of undergoing immediate breast reconstruction.

Trauma models to identify major trauma and mortality in the prehospital setting

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), Volume 107, Issue 4, Page 373-380, March 2020., 2020
Currently available prehospital trauma models perform reasonably in predicting in‐hospital mortality, but are inadequate at identifying patients who have experienced major trauma. Future research should focus on which patients would benefit from treatment in a major trauma centre.

Trainee performance in radical gastrectomy and its effect on outcomes

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 86-90, February 2020., 2020
This study of 272 D2 gastrectomies investigated whether trainee involvement was associated with adverse outcomes. No significant difference in morbidity, mortality, operating time, number of nodes resected, hospital stay or predicted 5‐year survival was noted, demonstrating that outcomes are not compromised by supervised trainee involvement.

Epidemiology of paediatric injuries in Rwanda using a prospective trauma registry

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 78-85, February 2020., 2020
This study evaluated the demographics and outcomes of paediatric injury in Rwanda through a prospective trauma registry to inform capacity‐building for prevention and treatment. Patients treated in the capital city had a higher incidence of head injury and a higher overall injury‐related mortality than those in a rural town.
