Reducing the environmental impact of surgery on a global scale: systematic review and co-prioritization with healthcare workers in 132 countries
Abstract
Background
Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres.
Methods
This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and lowâmiddle-income countries.
Results
In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of âsingle-useâ consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for lowâmiddle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia.
Conclusion
This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both highâ and lowâmiddleâincome countries
A novel scale based on biomarkers associated with COVID-19 severity can predict the need for hospitalization and intensive care, as well as enhanced probabilities for mortality
Abstract Prognostic scales may help to optimize the use of hospital resources, which may be of prime interest in the context of a fast spreading pandemics. Nonetheless, such tools are underdeveloped in the context of COVID-19. In the present article we asked whether accurate prognostic scales could be developed to optimize the use of hospital resources. We retrospectively studied 467 files of hospitalized patients after COVID-19. The odds ratios for 16 different biomarkers were calculated, those that were significantly associated were screened by a Pearsonâs correlation, and such index was used to establish the mathematical function for each marker. The scales to predict the need for hospitalization, intensive-care requirement and mortality had enhanced sensitivities (0.91 CI 0.87â0.94; 0.96 CI 0.94â0.98; 0.96 CI 0.94â0.98; all with pâ<â0.0001) and specificities (0.74 CI 0.62â0.83; 0.92 CI 0.87â0.96 and 0.91 CI 0.86â0.94; all with pâ<â0.0001). Interestingly, when a different population was assayed, these parameters did not change considerably. These results show a novel approach to establish the mathematical function of a marker in the development of highly sensitive prognostic tools, which in this case, may aid in the optimization of hospital resources.

Tiempo e historia en el teatro del Siglo de Oro
Aprovechar las enseñanzas de la Historia, recurrir al pasado remoto o reciente para mostrar en sus hĂ©roes, recreados por el teatro, su dimensiĂłn arquetĂpica y modĂ©lica, tales son los propĂłsitos de la dramatizaciĂłn de la materia histĂłrica durante el Siglo de Oro español. La Historia no sĂłlo sirviĂł de mero marco temporal para ubicar la acciĂłn dramĂĄtica de las piezas en un contexto preciso. Las variaciones, anacronismos evidentes o sincronismos implĂcitos, a partir dde las fuentes manejadas deben leerse como verdaderas estrategias del dramaturgo. El anclaje histĂłrico de los argumentos, mediante juegos de simetrĂas y contrastes entre realidad y ficciĂłn, enfoca la recepciĂłn ideolĂłgica de las obras. La poĂ©tica del tiempo histĂłrico en el teatro se pone al servicio de la emergencia de una conciencia nacional: representar el pasado supone mejor decir y cuestionar el presente. Este libro examina tambiĂ©n la estĂ©tica de la temporalidad que nace de las variaciones cronolĂłgicas en las obras contempladas. Las diferentes contribuciones de los autores revelan la distancia tomada por los dramaturgos del Siglo de Oro respecto a la preceptiva clĂĄsica. Semejante actitud no exenta de crĂticas en su Ă©poca, demuestra la libertad con la que aquellos creadores supieron superar los apremios teĂłricos de la unidad de tiempo a favor de un dinamismo celebrado en su tiempo por el pĂșblico heterogĂ©neo y exigente de los corrales
Clinical characterization of data-driven diabetes subgroups in Mexicans using a reproducible machine learning approach
Introduction Previous reports in European populations demonstrated the existence of five data-driven adult-onset diabetes subgroups. Here, we use self-normalizing neural networks (SNNN) to improve reproducibility of these data-driven diabetes subgroups in Mexican cohorts to extend its application to more diverse settings.Research design and methods We trained SNNN and compared it with k-means clustering to classify diabetes subgroups in a multiethnic and representative population-based National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) datasets with all available measures (training sample: NHANES-III, n=1132; validation sample: NHANES 1999â2006, n=626). SNNN models were then applied to four Mexican cohorts (SIGMA-UIEM, n=1521; Metabolic Syndrome cohort, n=6144; ENSANUT 2016, n=614âand CAIPaDi, n=1608) to characterize diabetes subgroups in Mexicans according to treatment response, risk for chronic complications and risk factors for the incidence of each subgroup.Results SNNN yielded four reproducible clinical profiles (obesity related, insulin deficient, insulin resistant, age related) in NHANES and Mexican cohorts even without C-peptide measurements. We observed in a population-based survey a high prevalence of the insulin-deficient form (41.25%, 95%âCI 41.02% to 41.48%), followed by obesity-related (33.60%, 95%âCI 33.40% to 33.79%), age-related (14.72%, 95%âCI 14.63% to 14.82%) and severe insulin-resistant groups. A significant association was found between the SLC16A11 diabetes risk variant and the obesity-related subgroup (OR 1.42, 95%âCI 1.10 to 1.83, p=0.008). Among incident cases, we observed a greater incidence of mild obesity-related diabetes (n=149, 45.0%). In a diabetes outpatient clinic cohort, we observed increased 1-year risk (HR 1.59, 95%âCI 1.01 to 2.51) and 2-year risk (HR 1.94, 95%âCI 1.13 to 3.31) for incident retinopathy in the insulin-deficient group and decreased 2-year diabetic retinopathy risk for the obesity-related subgroup (HR 0.49, 95%âCI 0.27 to 0.89).Conclusions Diabetes subgroup phenotypes are reproducible using SNNN; our algorithm is available as web-based tool. Application of these models allowed for better characterization of diabetes subgroups and risk factors in Mexicans that could have clinical applications
