Journal ArticleDOI
Strengths and limitations of early warning scores: A systematic review and narrative synthesis
TL;DR: Early warning scores provide the right language and environment for the timely escalation of patient care and are limited by their intermittent and user-dependent nature, which can be partially overcome by automation and new continuous monitoring technologies, although clinical judgment remains paramount.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postoperative ileus following major colorectal surgery
TL;DR: Current knowledge of pathophysiology, clinical interventions and methodological challenges was reviewed to inform modern practice and future research on postoperative ileus.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: High stromal content was related to better survival in ER-positive breast cancers across both genders, contrasting data in triple-negative breast cancer and highlighting the importance of considering ER status when interpreting the prognostic value of TSR.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of continuous versus intermittent vital signs monitoring in hospitals: A systematic review and narrative synthesis.
TL;DR: Continuous vital signs monitoring outside the critical care setting is feasible and may provide a benefit in terms of improved patient outcomes and cost efficiency, and two studies showed cost-effectiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continuous Versus Intermittent Vital Signs Monitoring Using a Wearable, Wireless Patch in Patients Admitted to Surgical Wards: Pilot Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial.
TL;DR: Remote continuous vital signs monitoring on surgical wards is practical and acceptable to patients and large, well-controlled studies in high-risk populations are required to determine whether the observed trends translate into a significant benefit for continuous over intermittent monitoring.
