Observational versus antibiotic treatment for uncomplicated diverticulitis: an individual‐patient data meta‐analysis
Abstract en Background Two RCTs (AVOD and DIABOLO) demonstrated no difference in recovery or adverse outcomes when antibiotics for acute uncomplicated diverticulitis were omitted. Both trials showed non‐significantly higher rates of complicated diverticulitis and surgery in the non‐antibiotic groups. This meta‐analysis of individual‐patient data aimed to explore adverse outcomes and identify patients at risk who may benefit from antibiotic treatment.

Meta‐analysis of in‐hospital delay before surgery as a risk factor for complications in patients with acute appendicitis
An earlier systematic review and meta‐analysis 12 on the effect of in‐hospital delay included only studies that used a 12‐h cut‐off time. The various cut‐off times used in many other published studies have potentially caused valuable loss of information. Furthermore, only crude data were used in that review 12 .
Surgical safety - Ram - 2013 - BJS - Wiley Online Library
The report To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System, released in 1999 by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), posed an important question: ‘Must we wait another decade to be safer in our health system?’. This landmark in patient safety awareness suggested that 44 000–98 000 deaths every year resulted directly from medical errors that could be, and should have been, prevented1.

Systematic review: pharmacotherapy for high-output enterostomies or enteral fistulas
Relevant databases were systematically reviewed to identify studies on pharmacotherapy for reduction in (high-) output enterostomies or fistula. Randomised controlled trials and within subjects controlled prospective trials were included. An algorithm for standard of care was generated based on the outcomes of the systematic review.
