Abstract:

ABSTRACT Few studies specifically address management of venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis and bridging anticoagulation therapy in patients undergoing thyroid surgery. A survey about perioperative management of thromboprophylaxis was sent to Australian Endocrine Surgeons. Responses were tabulated and graphed; a p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Survey responses showed a large broad spectrum of practice regarding thromboprophylaxis, bridging therapy and cessation of anticoagulant medication. While anticoagulant prophylaxis in thyroid surgery appears to be relatively safe, there is a theoretical risk of catastrophic bleeding complications; according to this survey of Australian Endocrine Surgeons, thromboembolic events are uncommon complications of thyroid surgery.

Abstract:

Background.Surgical site infections are one of the most common post-operative complications encountered by foot and ankle surgeons. The incidence reported in the literature varies between 0.5 and 6.5%. The results of a 12-month Australia-wide clinical audit analysing the rates of postoperative infections in association with podiatric surgery are presented. Methods.De-identified patient data was collected from nine podiatric surgeons Australia-wide. Infections were identified according to Australian Council on Health Care Standards (ACHS) definitions and data was entered no earlier than thirty days post procedure. Results.A total of 1339 patient admissions and 2387 surgical procedures were reported using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) and Medicare Benefit Schedule (MBS) coding systems. The overall infection rate was 3.1% and the rate of infection resulting in hospital re-admission was 0.25%. Conclusions.The benchmark results presented in this paper suggest that infection rates associated with podiatric surgery are well within accepted industry standards as stated in recent literature. What is known about the topic?The rates of infection in foot and ankle surgery have been reported in international literature to vary between 0.5 and 6.5%. No such data has been published to date, which describes the rate of infection following podiatric surgery in Australia. What does this paper add?This paper provides benchmark data on complication rates associated with Australian podiatric surgeons. Such data also informs health and hospital managers who may be considering podiatric surgery as an option for providing foot surgery services within the public hospital system. What are the implications for practitioners?This paper challenges podiatric surgeons to consider their own practice and whether it is a reflection of best practice.

Abstract:

Objective The aim of the present study was to determine the potential demand for publicly and privately funded bariatric surgery in Australia. Methods Nationally representative data from the 2011–13 Australian Health Survey were used to estimate the numbers and characteristics of Australians meeting specific eligibility criteria as recommended in National Health and Medical Research Council guidelines for the management of overweight and obesity. Results Of the 3 352 037 adult Australians (aged 18–65 years) estimated to be obese in 2011–13, 882 441 (26.3%; 95% confidence interval (CI) 23.0–29.6) were potentially eligible for bariatric surgery (accounting for 6.2% (95% CI 5.4–7.1) of the adult population aged 18–65 years (n = 14 122 020)). Of these, 396 856 (45.0%; 95% CI 40.4–49.5) had Class 3 obesity (body mass index (BMI) ≥40 kg m–2), 470945 (53.4%; 95% CI 49.0–57.7) had Class 2 obesity (BMI 35–39.9 kg m–2) with obesity-related comorbidities or risk factors and 14 640 (1.7%; 95% CI 0.6–2.7) had Class 1 obesity (BMI 30–34.9 kg m–2) with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes and increased cardiovascular risk; 458 869 (52.0%; 95% CI 46.4–57.6) were female, 404 594 (45.8%; 95% CI 37.3–54.4) had no private health insurance and 309 983 (35.1%; 95% CI 28.8–41.4) resided outside a major city. Conclusion Even if only 5% of Australian adults estimated to be eligible for bariatric surgery sought this intervention, the demand, particularly in the public health system and outside major cities, would far outstrip current capacity. Better guidance on patient prioritisation and greater resourcing of public surgery are needed. What is known about this topic? In the period 2011–13, 4 million Australian adults were estimated to be obese, with obesity disproportionately more prevalent in areas of socioeconomic disadvantage. Bariatric surgery is considered to be cost-effective and the most effective treatment for adults with obesity, but is mainly privately funded in Australia (>90%), with 16 650 primary privately funded procedures performed in 2015. The extent to which the supply of bariatric surgery is falling short of demand in Australia is unknown. What does this paper add? The present study provides important information for health service planners. For the first time, population estimates and characteristics of those potentially eligible for bariatric surgery in Australia have been described based on the best available evidence, using categories that best approximate the national recommended eligibility criteria. What are the implications for practitioners? Even if only 5% of those estimated to be potentially eligible for bariatric surgery in Australia sought a surgical pathway (44 122 of 882 441), the potential demand, particularly in the public health system and outside major cities, would still far outstrip current capacity, underscoring the immediate need for better guidance on patient prioritisation. The findings of the present study provide a strong signal that more funding of public surgery and other effective interventions to assist this population group are necessary.

Abstract:

Background: Bibliometrics is the analysis of research produced by individuals and institutions. While previous analyses have assessed sub-specialty fields, as well as contributions of individual countries to the plastic surgical literature, no bibliometric analyses to date have measured the contribution of plastic surgeons from Australia and New Zealand.Methods: Plastic surgery journals with the 15 highest impact factors were identified. Total publications in a ten-year period from October 2007 to September 2017 by Australian and New Zealand Plastic Surgeons were recorded, as were h-indices for all surgeons.Results: 588 articles were published by 498 surgeons, with the largest numbers in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (142), Burns (133), and the Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (112). Mean h-index for Associate Professors was 9.29, and for Professors was 17.17.Conclusion: Australian and New Zealand plastic surgeons continue to be actively involved in world-class research and innovation. The volume and quantity of research produced supports the development of an Australasian Journal of Plastic Surgery.

Abstract:

The Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA) carried out a review of the roles of anaesthetists in providing acute care services in both public and private hospitals in Europe, North America and South-East Asia. As a result, ANZCA revised its education and training program and its processes relating to overseastrained specialists. The new training program, introduced in 2004, formed the basis for submissions to the Australian Medical Council, and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission/ Australian Health Workforce Officials? Committee review of medical colleges. A revised continuing professional development program will be in place in 2007. Anaesthetists in Australia and New Zealand play a pivotal role in providing services in both public and private hospitals, as well as supporting intensive care medicine, pain medicine and hyperbaric medicine. Anaesthesia allows surgery, obstetrics, procedural medicine and interventional medical imaging to function optimally, by ensuring that the patient journey is safe and has high quality care. Specialist anaesthetists in Australia now exceed Australian Medical Workforce Advisory Committee recommendations

Abstract:

Background: Australia has a high standard of health and healthcare compared with many other OECD countries, with life expectancies among the highest in the world. However, this attainment is not reflected equally across all population subgroups within Australia. Translation evidence from clinical trials into practice varies, leading to attenuated effects across subgroups. Variable effects also occur due to differences in access to interventions and cancer treatment services. Priority subgroups can experience poorer access to healthcare and overall health outcomes due, in part, to the influence of social, environmental and political factors Aim: This study aimed to determine the extent to which inequalities exist across subgroups of the Australian population with breast cancer, as relating to cancer treatment (surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy). Methods: A systematic literature review was undertaken in December 2017 to identify and quantify the inequalities in treatment utilization across priority subgroups in Australia. MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature were used to identify the literature. Identification of relevant articles resulted from screening the full text of all articles identified, with each article assessed against predefined inclusion criteria. Quality assessment was used to inform the qualitative synthesis to explore the relationship between priority subgroups and the utilization of primary breast cancer treatment. The protocol for this systematic review was registered with the PROSPERO database on the December 19, 2016. Results: A total of 2030 articles were screened for eligibility, with 29 articles included in the final review. Results highlight an underutilization of breast cancer treatment (surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy) across priority subgroups compared with the nonpriority populations, including aboriginal women (4%-15% less likely to receive breast conserving surgery), elderly (9% more likely to have no surgery), women of greater socioeconomic disadvantage (13%-28% less likely to receive breast conserving surgery), and women living remotely (20%-38% less likely to receive breast conserving surgery). Similar differentials in utilization were seen with adjuvant therapies. Conclusion: Evaluation of health services and treatment utilization is an important aspect of cancer control programs. In quantifying the underutilization of health services for breast cancer treatments, it is clear that variations exist in the treatment of breast cancer among priority populations in Australia. Greater understanding of the barriers to treatment among these population groups are needed to minimize inequalities that exist in cancer treatment and cancer outcomes in Australia.
