Abstract

We would like to thank and applaud the authors and contributors to the 7th National Audit Project (NAP7) for such a thorough investigation and Anaesthesia for its dissemination and sharing of content [1]. However, we must ask if the primary purpose of the project has been lost among the volume of papers (we think this is the 12th)? Having spoken to a number of colleagues, none of them admit to having read all of them. Rather, comments include how long the report [2] is (567 pages compared with the 219 pages of NAP4 [3]); how many papers have been published (12 compared with 2 for NAP4); and the confusion as to what they should read.

We appreciate there are a lot of data and discussion points, but we fear the key messages relating to the primary purpose of the project may have been missed or lost in the volume of published materials. We believe the authors would have been better focusing more on the primary outcome rather than the overwhelming number of secondary outcomes and publication noise.

That said, the additional materials produced are excellent, namely the infographic [4] and overview slides [5]. We very much hope to continue seeing these being produced in future NAPs.

NAP7 - 我们失去意义了吗？

我们要对第七次国家审计项目（NAP7）的作者和撰稿人表示感谢和赞赏，感谢他们进行了如此深入的调查，并感谢《麻醉学》杂志对其内容的传播和分享[1]。然而，我们不禁要问，在大量的论文（我们认为是第 12 篇）中，是否已经失去了该项目的主要目的？在与多位同事交谈后，没有人承认自己读过所有的论文。相反，他们的评论包括：报告[2]有多长（567 页，而 NAP4 [3] 只有 219 页）；发表了多少篇论文（12 篇，而 NAP4 只有 2 篇）；以及他们不知道应该读些什么。我们认为，作者最好将注意力更多地集中在主要成果上，而不是过多的次要成果和出版噪音上。尽管如此，所制作的附加材料，即信息图[4]和概述幻灯片[5]，还是非常出色的。我们非常希望在今后的国家行动计划中继续看到这些材料。
