#Obesity is a pandemic with huge mortality and morbidity . In vascular surgery alone 40% of venous leg ulcer patients have BMI>40 a data free zone for intervention despite an earlier average age and long duration of pain and suffering
A clear summary of the effect of COVID-19 on global vascular services. Brutal for our patients, the backlog is the next challenge! Thanks to all who shared their practice with our team @VascResearchNet@VASCevidence@singvasc@COVERstudyAust https://t.co/7JO3c3SA7W
With lockdown returning to surgeons around the globe, will vascular surgeons have to return to a reduced service once again? Read the impact of the first wave of COVID-19 on surgical practice here: https://t.co/JGR5lPN2Kt @chrisimray@SarahAitken11@Adam_mdmph@DrAndrewChoong
Interesting piece on running trainee-led collaborative studies during the #COVID19 pandemic. Features a good mention of the COVER Study too. Still time to get involved! @TobyRichardsUWA

The database for the first @covidsurg cancer analysis is locked.
Thanks to the amazing efforts of our collaborators, we proudly announce that we have reached 2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣patients in covidsurg studies.
Hopefully this will allow robust results to guide surgical care worldwide.

"Are you here to transport him down to the or?"
Me: "Nope. I'm his surgeon. Happy to though if it'll help get the case going"
This happens so frequently I've become partially numb to how sad it is. Wash, rinse, repeat...
Have trainee surgeons been redeployed (e.g. to other clinical areas) in your centre during the COVID19 pandemic? (weekly data for 5 weeks) #COVID19#COVER#vascular
