The incidence of undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) within an Australian bariatric population
Background: It is established that a strong correlation exists between morbid obesity and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA has been shown to be associated with increased incidence of stroke, hypertension and coronary artery disease. Current evidence suggests that a large number of patients with OSA deny experiencing symptoms. Despite these findings, there is a lack of data regarding the incidence of undiagnosed OSA in patients with obesity.

Multiple Peri-Operative Complications are Associated with Reduced Long Term Amputation Free Survival Following Revascularisation for Lower Limb Peripheral Artery Disease: A Population Based Linked Data Study.
CONCLUSION: Multiple complications after surgery for lower limb PAD carried a compounding risk of reduced long term amputation free survival. Patients experiencing at least one complication form a high risk group that requires increased attention to prevent the potential development of further complications.

Weekend carotid endarterectomies are not associated with a greater risk of stroke and/or death in Australia and New Zealand
Data from multiple surgical studies and settings have reported an increase in adverse events in patients admitted or treated over weekends. The aim of this study was to investigate short-term outcomes for patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in Australia and New Zealand based on the day of surgery.

Association Between Hospital Volume and Failure to Rescue After Open or Endovascular Repair of Intact Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms in the VASCUNET and International Consortium of Vascular Registries
Objective: To investigate the association between hospital volume and failure to rescue (FtR), after open repair (OAR), and endovascular repair (EVAR) of intact abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) among centers participating in the VASCUNET and International Consortium of Vascular Registries. Summary of Background Data: FtR (ie, in-hospital death following major complications) is a composite end-point representing the inability to treat complications effectively and prevent death. Methods: Using data from 8 vascular registries, complication and mortality rates after intact AAA repair were examined (n = 60,27...
