Abstract
- In the ANZELA-QI pilot study sample of emergency laparotomies reported by Aitken I et al i ., a preoperative risk assessment was only documented prior to 45% of operations.2 In reality, this figure is likely an overestimate considering the number of Australian hospitals not participating in ANZELA-QI. We read with interest Anderson's editorial on emergency laparotomy1 and agree with the need for further audit and improvement in the area. Two-year outcomes from the Australian and New Zealand emergency laparotomy audit-quality improvement pilot study. [Extracted from the article]
