We hypothesized that oxidative stress from long-term intermittent leg ischaemia is harmful and that revascularization mitigates this risk. The aim of this hypothesis-driven systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the long-term mortality rate and clinical outcomes comparing SET with early revascularization in patients with intermittent claudication.METHODSRCTs comparing SET and early revascularization with >12 months follow-up and reporting mortality rates were included. Medline, Embase, Cochrane Central, ClinicalTrials.gov, and WHO ICTRP were searched using a modified PICO (PICS) framework. Risk-of-bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk-of-Bias Tool. Meta-analyses applied hazard ratios, incidence rate ratios (IRR), or odds ratios as appropriate. PROSPERO registration: CRD42024536634.RESULTSSome nine cohorts from seven RCTs (1113 patients) were included. Meta-analysis of HR (two cohorts) displayed higher mortality rates with SET compared to early revascularization (HR: 1.83; 95% c.i.: 1.10 to 3.04; P = 0.02). Intention-to-treat IRR analysis (eight cohorts) displayed an IRR of 1.28; 95% c.i.: 0.91 to 1.79; P = 0.16. A worst-case post-hoc sensitivity analysis assuming all losses to follow-up as deaths presented higher mortality rate with SET (IRR: 1.29; 95% c.i.: 1.04 to 1.61; P = 0.02). SET reduced initial revascularizations by 60.3%, but 34.8% crossed over, resulting in over twice the need for subsequent revascularization (OR: 2.30; 95% c.i.: 1.71 to 3.11; P < 0.001). No differences were found for amputation, myocardial infarction, or stroke. Risk-of-bias was deemed high, and certainty of evidence ranged from low to very low.CONCLUSIONEarly revascularization may improve long-term survival compared to SET, although interpretation is limited by risk-of-bias and incomplete data in published studies.","PeriodicalId":136,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Surgery","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.6,"publicationDate":"2025-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145986564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the relationship between these skills and patient-level outcomes has yet to be synthesized. The aim of this study was to systematically review the evidence examining the relationship between intraoperative NTS and clinical outcomes.METHODSThe PubMed, Embase, CENTRAL, CINAHL, and PsycINFO databases were searched for relevant studies published between inception and 1 November 2024. Eligible studies assessed NTS of operating room personnel, were conducted in non-simulated environments, and reported clinical outcomes. NTS were categorized into five core domains including leadership and communication. Patient-level outcomes comprised eight clinical measures including mortality and postoperative complications.RESULTSOf 6313 screened studies, 21 met the inclusion criteria. Included studies represented 8536 participants performing 251 180 procedures across 13 specialties. Eleven observational studies assessed NTS of surgical personnel via study participants or observers. Ten interventional studies introduced NTS team training initiatives. Twelve of 21 studies (57%) incorporating 247 036 of all procedures (98.4%) reported significant improvements in clinical outcomes. Nine of 11 observational studies (82%) reported significant improvement in clinical outcomes compared with 3 of 10 interventional studies (30%). No studies demonstrated a significant deterioration in clinical outcomes associated with improved NTS.CONCLUSIONPublished evidence shows a significant link between intraoperative NTS and patient-level outcomes.

Laparoscopic-assisted transversus abdominis plane (LTAP) block is a recent advancement of this technique. The aim of this trial was to evaluate the effectiveness of LTAP block compared with port-site infiltration (PSI) of local anaesthetic in patients undergoing laparoscopic appendicectomy.METHODSA single-blinded RCT was performed across three academic hospitals. Patients were randomized 1 : 1 to receive LTAP block or PSI. The primary outcome was postoperative pain, assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS). Secondary outcomes were postoperative opioid requirements, length of hospital stay (LOS), time to mobilization, and quality of life (QoL) after hospital discharge.RESULTSIn total, 85 of 87 patients (97.7%) in the LTAP group and 82 of 84 patients (97.6%) in the control (PSI) group were eligible for analysis. The VAS pain scores were statistically significantly lower overall in the LTAP group compared with the control (PSI) group on time-weighted analysis after laparoscopic appendicectomy (-1.7 (95% c.i. -2.06 to -1.34); P < 0.001). The difference-in-difference analysis showed that the mean VAS score for the LTAP group statistically significantly improved at 6 h (-1.63 (95% c.i. -2.55 to -0.70); P = 0.001) and 12 h (-2.06 (95% c.i. -2.92 to -1.20); P < 0.001) with no difference at 24 h (-0.68 (95% c.i. -1.55 to 0.19); P = 0.125).
