5/ 8.1% of patients in the CPAP group met the primary outcome of pneumonia, re-intubation or death within 30 days after randomisation compared to 8.2% of patients in the usual care group (odds ratio 1.01, p=0.95). sciencedirect.com/science/ar… @prismtrial

Interesting trial of CPAP vs usual care post-op for major surgery by @rupert_pearse’s team. No difference between the groups though. Important trial, especially as we might assume treatments like this work, they certainly make our numbers better. #Anaesthesia2021

1/ Increasing numbers of patients aged 75 or older are undergoing surgery, but it is unclear whether these treatments are needed or whether they improve quality of life. academic.oup.com/bjs/article… @_alexfowler @rupert_pearse @BJSurgery

We estimate that the financial cost of clearing the current backlog of postponed operations in @NHSEngland is ~£1.3bn. This could increase to over ~£5bn by March 2021 as the reintroduction of elective surgery will be gradual. medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/… (Pre-print. Not peer-reviewed)
13 Jun 2020
Our modelling analysis suggests that ~750,000 operations may have already been postponed in @NHSEngland due to COVID-19, which could increase to ~2.2 million by March 2021 as elective surgery is gradually reintroduced medrxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… (Pre-print. Not yet peer-reviewed).
