Comparison of outcomes after appendectomy in First Nations and non-First Nations patients in Northern Alberta
CONCLUSION: Although rurality, comorbidities and socioeconomic status contributed to worse outcomes after appendectomy for First Nations patients, First Nations status remained independently associated with worse surgical outcomes. Surgical care, an integral component of health care delivery, must be improved for First Nations patients in order to achieve equitable health care.PMID:37967970 | DOI:10.1503/cjs.011222 (Source: Canadian Journal of Surgery)

Effectiveness of prophylactic intranasal photodynamic disinfection therapy and chlorhexidine gluconate body wipes for surgical site infection prophylaxis in adult spine surgery
CONCLUSION: Preoperative nPDT-CHG administration is an effective prophylactic strategy for spinal SSIs, with significant cost savings. Given its rapid action, minimal risk of antimicrobial resistance, broad-spectrum activity and high compliance rate, preoperative nPDT-CHG decolonization should be the standard of care for all patients undergoing emergent or elective spine surgery.PMID:37967971 | DOI:10.1503/cjs.016922 (Source: Canadian Journal of Surgery)
