A Bayesian hierarchical approach to comparative audit for carotid surgery (2002)
Journal Article
Kuhan, G., Marshall, E., Abidia, A., Chetter, I., & McCollum, P. (2002). A Bayesian hierarchical approach to comparative audit for carotid surgery. European journal of vascular and endovascular surgery : the official journal of the European Society for Vascular Surgery, 24(6), 505-510. https://doi.org/10.1053/ejvs.2002.1763

Objectives: the aim of this study was to illustrate how a Bayesian hierarchical modelling approach can aid the reliable comparison of outcome rates between surgeons. Design: retrospective analysis of prospective and retrospective data. Materials: bin... Read More about A Bayesian hierarchical approach to comparative audit for carotid surgery.

How effective is acute normovolaemic haemodilution in femoro-distal bypass surgery? (2002)
Journal Article
Spark, J., Chetter, I., Kester, R., & Scott, D. (2002). How effective is acute normovolaemic haemodilution in femoro-distal bypass surgery?. Cardiovascular Surgery -Oxford-, 10(5), 460-463. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0967-2109%2802%2900060-1

Background: Recent guidelines have emphasised the use of autologous blood in the surgical setting. The aim of this study was to analyse the efficacy and efficiency of acute normovolaemic haemodilution (ANH) as a blood conservation intervention in pat...
