Frailty predicts mortality in all emergency surgical admissions regardless of age. An observational study.
Jonathan Hewitt,Ben Carter,Kathryn McCarthy,Lyndsay Pearce,J Law,F V Wilson,Hui Sian Tay,Caroline McCormack,Michael Stechman,Susan Moug,Phyo K. Myint +10 more
TL;DR: It was found that each incremental step of worsening frailty was associated with an 80% increase in mortality at Day 90 (OR 1.80, 95% CI: 1.61-2.01) supporting a linear dose-response relationship.
Anti-cholinergic burden and patient related clinical outcomes in an emergency general surgical setting.
Andrew D. Ablett,Aimee Browning,Vincent Quan,Hui S. Tay,Caroline McCormack,Ben Carter,Jonathan Hewitt,Phyo K. Myint +7 more
TL;DR: Anti-cholinergic burden may be linked to hospital readmission in adults admitted to an emergency general surgical ward in a UK centre with a catchment population circa 500,000.

The prevalence of hyperglycaemia and its relationship with mortality, readmissions and length of stay in an older acute surgical population : a multicentre study
Phyo K. Myint,Phyo K. Myint,Stephanie Owen,Lyndsay Pearce,Matthew Greig,Hui Sian Tay,Caroline McCormack,Kathryn McCarthy,Susan Moug,Michael Stechman,Jonathan Hewitt +10 more
TL;DR: Despite current guidelines, nearly a third of older people with surgical diagnoses did not have their glucose level checked on admission highlighting the challenges in prognostication and evaluation research to improve care of older frail surgical patients.
The Prevalence of Delirium in An Older Acute Surgical Population and Its Effect on Outcome.
Jonathan Hewitt,Stephanie Owen,Ben Carter,Michael Stechman,Hui Sian Tay,Matthew Greig,Caroline McCormack,Lyndsay Pearce,Kathryn McCarthy,Phyo K. Myint,Susan Moug +10 more
TL;DR: This observational multi-centre study investigated consecutive patients, ≥65 years, admitted to the acute surgical units of five UK hospitals during an eight-week period to establish the prevalence of delirium on admission in an older acute surgical population and its effect on mortality.

Preoperative kidney function linked to mortality and readmission outcomes at Day 90 and 30 in older emergency surgical patients
Louis Evans,J. Goeteyn,Ben Carter,Matthew Greig,Hui Sian Tay,Caroline McCormack,Wim Ceelen,L. Pearce,Kathryn McCarthy,Phyo K. Myint,Susan Moug,Michael Stechman,Jonathan Hewitt +12 more
TL;DR: Admission eGFR provides prognostic information which is useful to clinicians in an acute surgical setting and whether closer monitoring and focused management at improving kidney function improves outcome in this patient population warrants further investigation.
