💡 Even with high dropout rates, NSPs achieved nearly 4× the surgical output, supporting task sharing as a cost-effective, scalable way to expand access to safe hernia surgery in Ghana.

BJS @bjsurgery.bsky.social · 1d

🩺 NSPs performed 4,625 hernia repairs versus 784 by a surgeon, at total costs of €624k vs €110k, with similar per-procedure costs (€135 vs €140).

After adjustment, odds remained higher for Māori: mortality aOR 1.45, complications aOR 1.30, FTR aOR 1.29
Over 15 years, outcomes improved for European/Other but not for Māori, widening inequities and underscoring the need to improve complication rescue and culturally responsive perioperative care

- 13 RCTs, 2 non-randomized studies, and 3898 participants, prophylactic antibiotics did not significantly reduce surgical site infection risk in hand and wrist trauma surgery (highest-ranking regimen RR 0.29, 95% c.i. 0.04, 2.13)
Further well-designed RCTs are needed to address residual uncertainty
