Research
Projects

Retrospective Studies |
1 - BMI and early complications following knee
replacement Surgery. Patel A., Albrizio M. Level of involvement: research protocol, data
collection, data analysis, write up of the paper. A weak correlation between BMI and early complication following knee surgery has been found. There is a stronger correlation between surgeon and complications.
2 - BMI and early complications following hip
replacement Surgery. Patel A., Albrizio M. Level of involvement: research protocol, data
collection, data analysis, write up of the paper. A significant correlation between BMI and early
complication following hip surgery has been found. There is no correlation
between surgeon and complications. 3 - Correlation between percentage drop of
haemoglobin and length of hospital stay following joint replacement surgery. Patel
A., Albrizio M. Level of involvement: research protocol, data
collection, data analysis, write up of the paper. A statistically significant correlation between
percentage of haemoglobin drop and length of hospital stay has been found. |
|
Prospective Randomised
Studies |
4 -
Rate of positive CTPAs and predictive scores for the diagnosis of pulmonary
embolism. Level of
involvement: project lead. The rate
of CTPAs positive for Pulmonary Embolism has been evaluated in 100 patient
before and 100 patients after the implementation of the Wells score
as a predictive tool in Accident and Emergency. The implementation
has not led to a rise in the number of positive CTPAs. A pro-forma has been implemented to encourage junior doctors to make more use of the Well’s score. |
Audit
Projects

1 - Pain scale
in prostate biopsy under Level of
involvement: project lead. Ongoing work 2 -
Implementation of Digital Mammography: re-call rate and outcomes after 1 year
experience. Level of
involvement: project lead. A
significantly higher re-call rate (from 10% to 32%) has been found following
the implementation of Digital Mammography. This result has not been followed
by an increased number of detected cancers. |

Interventional radiology in the treatment of obstructive jaundice against
literature outcomes. Level of
involvement: project lead. Success rate
(post-operative bilirubin drop), 1 month and 1 year mortality rate have
been evaluated. 4 -
Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Orthopaedics and time of administration. Level of
involvement: project lead. The antibiotic
prophylaxis is delivered appropriately only in 7.5% of patients. A variation in
practice has been planned. Single dose of |

MRI and Arthroscopy of the Knee: Concordance of Findings at Local Level
Against Data Found in Literature. Level of
involvement: project lead. The
reliability of MRI scan in detecting knee pathologies and avoiding
unnecessary Arthroscopies has been successfully demonstrated. The concordance
of findings within the ranges found in literature. 6 -
Ten year follow up after total hip replacement. Radiological and clinical
review: telephonic interview as a cost-effective clinical alternative. Level of
involvement: project lead. The efficacy
of the 10 year follow-up has been disconfirmed. A variation
in practice has been suggested. Patient assessment via a telephonic interview
using a modified Harris hip score plus an A-P and L-L X-Ray. A re-audit has
also been planned. 7 - Influence of time of mobilization following joint replacement
on date of discharge. Level of involvement: data collection, statistical analysis, write up
of paper. The efficacy of an implemented “mobilisation on day 1 policy” has been
demonstrated with statistical significance. Presentation/publication: This work
has been presented at the Indian Orthopaedic Association International
Meeting – 8 - Compliance
of Operation Notes to Level of involvement: project lead. Audit Cycle: a new operation notes sheet with an aide-memoire has been
designed with the aim of matching the Royal College of Surgeons guidelines. |
