Environmental and financial cost of surgical-site infection by severity after lower limb vascular surgery (2025)
Journal Article
Lathan, R., Daysley, H., Ravindhran, B., Lim, A., Cutteridge, J., Sidapra, M., Long, J., Hitchman, L., Beltran-Alvarez, P., Carradice, D., Smith, G., & Chetter, I. (2025). Environmental and financial cost of surgical-site infection by severity after lower limb vascular surgery. BJS Open, 9(3), Article zraf015. https://doi.org/10.1093/bjsopen/zraf015

BACKGROUND: There is sparse evidence of the relationship between environmental and financial costs of surgical-site infection. Identifying areas of high-cost burden would enable key targets for clinical interventions to aid in achieving the UK nation...

Approaches to improve 12-month circuit primary patency and target lesion primary patency in arteriovenous fistulae: an umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses (2025)
Journal Article
Ravindhran, B., Parovic, M., Staniland, T., Howitt, A., Nazir, S., Lathan, R., Carradice, D., Smith, G., & Chetter, I. (in press). Approaches to improve 12-month circuit primary patency and target lesion primary patency in arteriovenous fistulae: an umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Journal of vascular access, https://doi.org/10.1177/11297298251332043

Background:
Clinical practice guidelines endorse arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) as the preferred form of vascular access. Despite recent advancements, concerns persist regarding variable AVF patency rates. This umbrella review aimed to evaluate and sy...

ASSIST: Development of a simplified clinician-patient hybrid reporting outcome measure for remote diagnosis of surgical site infection (2025)
Journal Article
Lathan, R., Hitchman, L., Walshaw, J., Ravindhran, B., Sidapra, M., Lim, A., Long, J., Totty, J., Carradice, D., Smith, G., & Chetter, I. (2025). ASSIST: Development of a simplified clinician-patient hybrid reporting outcome measure for remote diagnosis of surgical site infection. International wound journal, 22(4), Article e70234. https://doi.org/10.1111/iwj.70234

Background
Remote assessment of surgical site infection(SSI) lacks sensitivity for diagnosis of SSI but current evidence has not evaluated whether a combination of photographs and questionnaires improves diagnostic accuracy. This study aims to devel... Read More about ASSIST: Development of a simplified clinician-patient hybrid reporting outcome measure for remote diagnosis of surgical site infection.
