The use of prophylact...
Previously undiagnosed anaemia is common in elective orthopaedic surgical patients and is associated with increased likelihood of blood transfusion and increased perioperative morbidity and mortality. A standardized approach for the detection, evaluation, and management of anaemia in this setting has been identified as an unmet medical need. A multidisciplinary panel of physicians was convened ...

METHODS AND RESULTS A retrospective observational study using National Health Service administrative data on adult patients underg...
BACKGROUND Patients often wait to have urgent or emergency surgery. The number of operating rooms (ORs) needed to minimize waiting time while optimizing resources can be determined using queuing theory and computer simulation. We developed a computer program using Monte Carlo simulation to determine the number of ORs needed to minimize patient wait times while optimizing resources. METHODS We...

OBJECTIVE To examine whether preoperative statin use is associated with a reduced risk of surgical site infections. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS Population-based retrospective cohort study of all elderly patients undergoing elective surgery in Ontario from April 1, 1992, through March 31, 2006.

In Iran, the process of obtaining informed consent to surgical procedures is currently limited to the patient signing a consent form that often does not offer specific information on the procedure, and patients are not given adequate time to read the form. In order to improve t...
BACKGROUND Prior research about symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) after shoulder arthroplasty has not determined whether procedure type (hemiarthroplasty, total shoulder arthroplasty, or reverse shoulder arthroplasty) or surgical indication (traumatic or elective) represent risk factors for VTE after shoulder replacement. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We therefore asked whether the risk of sympto...
