Forgetting “routine” deep venous thrombosis and stroke during COVID-19 is a parallel pandemic that will be costly if ignored
The current COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a huge strategic and clinical change within the UK National Health Service (NHS) to ensure that it can cope with the surge in demand of respiratory patients.

The Shortfall in Long-term Survival of Patients with Repaired Thoracic or Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: Retrospective Case–Control Analysis of Hospital Episode Statistics
Objective: To report the contemporary life expectancy of patients undergoing abdominal (AAA) or thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) repair in England, relative to a healthy control population.Methods: A retrospective observational case–control study was carried out of Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) data, an administrative dataset covering the entire English National Health Service. Patients undergoing elective repair of an abdominal or thoracic aortic aneurysm in an English NHS hospital between April 2006 and March 2011 were included. Outcome measures were 5-year all-cause mortality (in- and out-of-hospital) and adverse ca...
