Biological meshes have been proposed as a resorbable alternative to synthetic implants that may reduce postoperative pain.ObjectiveTo compare postoperative pain and recurrence rates between biological and synthetic meshes in laparoendoscopic inguinal hernia repair using a self-controlled design.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThe Biological vs Synthetic Mesh in Laparoendoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair (BIOLAP) trial was a multicenter, randomized, self-controlled clinical trial conducted between August 2017 and February 2021 across 21 certified German hernia centers. A total of 491 adult patients with primary bilateral inguinal hernias underwent laparoendoscopic repair using 1 biological mesh and 1 synthetic mesh. Data analysis was performed from July 2023 to June 2024.InterventionPatients were randomized to receive a biological or synthetic mesh on the right side; the contralateral side received the alternate material. All patients underwent standardized laparoendoscopic repair (transabdominal preperitoneal plasty or total extraperitoneal plasty), and both patients and assessors were blinded to mesh assignment.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe coprimary outcomes were pain intensity at 6 months (measured using the visual analog scale) and hernia recurrence at 2 years. Secondary outcomes included seroma, hematoma, surgical site infection, and patient satisfaction.ResultsAmong 491 patients (mean [SD] age, 58.5 [14.1] years; 457 [93.1%] male), there was no significant difference in pain at 6 months between biological and synthetic meshes (mean [SD] visual analog scale score at rest, 0.3 [0.9] for both; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = .76).

While numerous efforts have been made to increase prescription of evidence-based VTE prophylaxis for hospitalized patients, many prescribed doses are either refused or missed for other reasons. Successful interventions to decrease these missed doses have been developed and tested in academic hospitals, but it remains unclear if these interventions can be scaled and implemented in community hospitals.ObjectiveTo disseminate and implement an evidence-based, comprehensive strategy to reduce missed doses of VTE prophylaxis.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis prospective cohort study was conducted on 7 floors across a community hospital within a large health system. Participants were all hospitalized adult patients admitted from July 1, 2018, to June 30, 2019 (preintervention), and July 1 to December 31, 2019 (postintervention), who were prescribed at least 1 dose of pharmacologic VTE prophylaxis. Data analysis was performed from January 2020 to January 2022.InterventionsImplementation of a dynamic, scenario-based nurse education module combined with a patient-centered education bundle triggered by a real-time alert sent to the charge nurse when a dose of prescribed VTE prophylaxis was not administered.Main Outcomes and MeasuresPrimary outcome was the proportion of any missed doses of prescribed pharmacologic prophylaxis. Secondary outcomes were proportions of doses refused and missed for reasons other than refusal.ResultsA total of 15 752 patients were included, 8714 (55.3%) female and 7038 (44.7%) male. The mean (SD) age was 63.9 (18.5) years.
