“…Previous systematic reviews have focused on the effectiveness of thermal insulation [7], warming of peritoneal gases during laparoscopy [8], using warmed intravenous or irrigation fluids [9], warming methods during Cesarean sections [10], rewarming after hypothermia [11], and prevention of shivering [12]. Issues encountered in these reviews include: heterogeneity, lack of control over covariates (e.g.…”

“…Several specific changes in surgical practice were identified during our study. The substitution of heated insufflation tubing with much less expensive non-heated tubing, following the publication of a Cochrane Review15 that found heated tubing did not produce clinical benefit, and a suture closure device was substituted by a newer standalone barbed suture during the post phase. Although barbed sutures are apparently safe for use in LH,16 Health Canada recently published a warning about possible adverse outcomes in bowel surgery,17 and this may stimulate further examination of barbed sutures in LH.…”

Can a simple ‘cost-awareness’ campaign for laparoscopic hysterectomy change the use and costs of disposable surgical supplies? Pre–post non-controlled study

ObjectivesDoes a cost-awareness campaign for gynaecologists lead to a change in use and costs of disposable surgical supplies for laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) without increasing hospital utilisation measures (operating room (OR) time or hospital length of stay (LOS))?DesignPre–post non-controlled study. The OR database was used to identify relevant cases before and after the cost-awareness intervention, and provided information on quantity of each supply item, operative details and LOS.SettingLois Hole Hospital for Women, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.Participants12 laparoscopic trained gynaecologists (7 female, 5 male) participated in both phases of the study. Eligible surgical cases were all LH cases for any indication for women aged ≥18 years. 201 cases were undertaken before the intervention (2011–2013) and 229 cases after the intervention (2016–2017).InterventionThe cost-awareness intervention for gynaecologists included site meetings and rounds providing information on costs of disposable and reusable instruments, a full day skills lab, OR posters about cost and effectiveness of disposable and reusable surgical supplies and demonstrations of reusable equipment (2015–2016).Primary outcome measureDisposable supplies costs per case (standardised for 2016 unit costs).ResultsThere was a significant (p<0.05) reduction (unadjusted) in disposable supplies cost per case for LH between cases before and after the intervention: from $C1073, SD 281, to $C943 SD 209. Regression analysis found that the adjusted cost per case after the intervention was $C116 lower than before the intervention (95% CI −160 to −71). Neither OR time nor hospital LOS differed significantly between cohorts.ConclusionsOur study suggests that cost-awareness campaigns may be associated with reduction in the cost of surgery for LH. However, many other factors may have contributed to this cost reduction, possibly including other local initiatives to reduce costs and emerging evidence indicating lack of effectiveness of some surgical practices.

A review of the reporting of web searching to identify studies for Cochrane systematic reviews

Research Synthesis Methods

The literature searches that are used to identify studies for inclusion in a systematic review should be comprehensively reported. This ensures that the literature searches are transparent and reproducible, which is important for assessing the strengths and weaknesses of a systematic review and re-running the literature searches when conducting an update review. Web searching using search engines and the websites of topically relevant organisations is sometimes used as a supplementary literature search method. Previous research has shown that the reporting of web searching in systematic reviews often lacks important details and is thus not transparent or reproducible. Useful details to report about web searching include the name of the search engine or website, the URL, the date searched, the search strategy, and the number of results. This study reviews the reporting of web searching to identify studies for Cochrane systematic reviews published in the 6-month period August 2016 to January 2017 (n = 423). Of these reviews, 61 reviews reported using web searching using a search engine or website as a literature search method. In the majority of reviews, the reporting of web searching was found to lack essential detail for ensuring transparency and reproducibility, such as the search terms. Recommendations are made on how to improve the reporting of web searching in Cochrane systematic reviews.
