Title: | Out of Africa: three generalisable lessons about clinical research | Authors: | Leslie, K. Story, D. A. Diouf, E |
Source: | Article in Press | Abstract: | The African Surgical Outcomes Study (ASOS) was a 7-day prospective cohort study of 11 422 adult patients having inpatient surgery at 247 hospitals in 25 African nations in 2016.1 Despite being relatively young and fit, 18% of these patients experienced in-hospital complications and 2% died. Infection was the most common complication, occurring in 10% of patients. The investigators concluded that increased access to high-quality surgery and improved surveillance for deteriorating postoperative physiology are urgently required. | Description: | Available full-text to members of ANZCA: http://doi.org.ezproxy.anzca.edu.au/10.1016/j.bja.2018.07.005 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/11055/652 | ISSN: | 0007-0912 |
