To support the global restart of elective surgery, data from an international prospective cohort study 8492 patients (69 countries) was analysed using artificial intelligence (machine learning techniques) to develop a predictive score for mortality in surgical with SARS-CoV-2. We found that patient rather than operation factors were best predictors and used these create COVIDsurg Mortality Score (https://covidsurgrisk.app). Our demonstrates it is safe wide range services selected patients.

Peripheral intravenous access is no longer limited to the standard catheter (cannula). Devices varying in length, material and insertion technique, are increasingly accessible. There substantial variability surrounding nomenclature use of these devices literature. We wished understand attitude vascular specialists towards peripheral catheters (PIVCs), long (LPCs) midline (MCs).A 15-question electronic survey was sent members Association Vascular Access (AVA) regarding PIVCs, LPCs MCs.A total...
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common inherited condition; however, its relationship with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remains unclear. This paper aims to establish the prevalence of RCC and subtypes amongst ADPKD patients.
Abstract Background Australia continues to suffer from a geographical maldistribution of general surgical services with only 20% surgeons working rurally despite 29% Australia's population residing outside major metropolitan centres. This qualitative study explored the impact human capacity and infrastructure upon rural surgery provision. Methods employed semi‐structured interviews surgeons. Participants were recruited via Royal Australasian College Surgeons (RACS) Rural newsletter purposive...
OBJECTIVES: In children, intravenous therapy (IVT) is generally administered via peripheral catheters (PIVCs) (2–6 cm in length). There evidence that PIVCs are unreliable after 2 days. Long (LPCs) (6–15 length) could improve the delivery of IVT. The aim this trial was to determine if LPCs decrease catheter failure and number children receiving multiday METHODS: This an open-label randomized controlled conducted at Monash Children’s Hospital Melbourne, Australia. Participants were from ages 1...
