Dr Mathew Lyons breaking down AI and machine learning for us, and how to use and interpret it in clinical practice

Very proud of this article by our team and nationwide collaborators. Worrying variation across the UK, between and within hospitals, with at least 36 variants in use. This has a big impact on patient safety. @mathewlyons @AndrewAShepherd @RCoANews @isostandards

The Safe Anaesthesia Liaison Group recommends standardising waveform capnography as a white solid filled-in graph at the bottom of the monitor display. Is there compliance with the SALG standard in the UK? #anaesthesia https://t.co/HLfjd7qys8

How many capnography variants do you encounter every day? We show worrying variation across the UK, between and within hospitals, with at least 36 variants in use. This has a big impact on patient safety. We should urgently implement the SALG standard. https://t.co/HGpJCsne4r

The CAVA UK Study registration is now live. Sign up your hospital to take part in a national survey of capnography traces. More information and sign up on our website: https://t.co/vitBXfbG4J

Delighted that this was chosen. Very proud to have been a proposer of the topic alongside @RegionalAnaesUK and a number of others.

Delighted to see this finally announced It was, to be frank, always the front runner - NAP8 - REGIONAL ANAESTHESIA It will be a brilliant project as it will create the largest ever database of major complications of regional anaesthesia and IMO for the first time enable genuine

Fantastic winning presentation #SESSA QI Day! @mathewlyons wins £100 thanks to #EESSA for his work on LPV strategies in the ICU! @NHSLothianMedEd

Super job today Gareth 👏 • raising important awareness of the unmet needs in IBD • flying the flag for the Edinburgh IBD unit • highlighting your great study with @mathewlyons & the rest of our team

Fantastic effort @mathewlyons! -Great perseverance, -Great analysis & writing -Great story! Our patients are admitted less for their IBD over the last 10 years BUT >50% of our IBD population still hospitalised & significant healthcare use for a minority Work to do!

5/ Infection rates in hospitalised IBD patients has remained constant over the 10 years, including admissions to ITU or death from infection despite substantial changes immunomodulating therapies.

4/ Even with the increasing prevalence of IBD, IBD related hospital admissions are falling, while non-IBD related admissions have remained constant for the cohort.

3/ Admissions for just 3% of patients (243/8,211) accounted for 50% of the total bed-days for IBD-related admissions over the 10 years. That's over 15,000 days in hospital for just 243 people and needs further in-depth study to develop preventative strategies.

2/ Patients under the age of 40 were predominantly admitted for reasons related to their IBD, while in those over the age of 60, infection was the biggest single reason with a wide variety of conditions making up the rest.

1/ More than half (57%, 4,673/8,211) of all patients with IBD in Lothian were admitted to hospital at least once over the 10 year period. Admission reason varied substantially with age.
