Did someone mention #SBO ... 🇨🇦cohort compares group who underwent early op management vs non-op management. Fewer long term recurrences & cost benefit w/in 5 years. Food for thought! #openaccess #healthec #emgensurg #some4surgery @asgbi @SEIQuirurgica bjssjournals.onlinelibrary.w…

Quite an impact! SBO carries 1-yr mortality rates significantly greater age‐matched population. Majority 💀 deaths <90 days admit, >1/3 after D/C. Population‐based study of impact of small bowel obstruction due to adhesions on short & medium‐term mortality onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Patients admitted to hospital with small bowel obstruction due to adhesions are at high risk of death within year of admission, suggesting need for increased monitoring: @ICESOntario study in @BJSurgery by @PaulKaranicolas @RamyBehman @injurydr onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
