Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluating an evidence-based bundle for preventing surgical site infection: a randomized trial.

TL;DR: An evidence-based intervention bundle did not reduce SSIs and the bundling of interventions, even when the constituent interventions have been individually tested, does not have a predictable effect on outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correlation between ankle-brachial index, symptoms, and health-related quality of life in patients with peripheral vascular disease.

TL;DR: HRQL in patients with PVD correlates weakly with ABI, but exhibits a closer association with vascular symptoms, suggesting that sole reliance on these surrogates may not accurately reflect the effect of PVD on HRQL, or the potential benefit of vascular surgery in improving HRQL.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surgical complications exert a lasting effect on disease-specific health-related quality of life for patients with colorectal cancer

TL;DR: For patients who undergo treatment of colorectal cancer, HRQL at 1 year after diagnosis is still influenced significantly and negatively by the occurrence of surgical complications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transmetatarsal amputation: assessment of current selection criteria

TL;DR: Although most patients retain the ability to ambulate after TMA, multiple operations should be anticipated in the majority of patients and revision of a TMA to a more proximal level may be required, suggesting that current selection criteria for TMA may be inadequate.
