Abstract

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), in partnership with the American College of Surgeons (ACS) and the Armstrong Institute (AI) at Johns Hopkins, developed the Safety Program for Improving Surgical Care and Recovery (ISCR), which integrates principles of implementation science into adoption of enhanced recovery pathways (ERP) and promotes evidence-based perioperative care. The objective of this study is to review the ERPs literature in gynecologic surgery (GS) and provide the framework for ISCR pathway for GS. We searched PubMed and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases from 1990 to October 2017. Studies were included in hierarchical and chronological order: meta-analyses, systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, interventional and observational studies. ERP components relevant to GS were identified through review of existing pathways. A PubMed search for each component was performed in GS and expanded to include colorectal surgery as needed in order to have sufficient evidence to support or deter a process. This review focuses on surgical components; anesthesiology components are reported separately in a companion article in the anesthesiology literature. Fifteen surgical components were identified: patient education, bowel preparation, elimination of nasogastric tubes, minimization of surgical drains, early postoperative mobilization, early postoperative feeding, early IV fluid discontinuation, early removal of urinary catheters, use of laxatives, chewing gum, peripheral mu antagonists, surgical site infection reduction bundle, glucose management, pre- and postoperative venous thromboembolism prophylaxis. In addition, 14 components previously identified in the colorectal ISCR pathway review were included in the final pathway. Evidence and existing guidelines support 29 protocol elements for the AHRQ Safety Program for ISCR in GS.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 11. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 February 2019.
All research outputs
#3,255,565
of 25,385,509 outputs
Outputs from American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology
#3,048
of 13,309 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#61,865
of 340,393 outputs
Outputs of similar age from American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology
#44
of 91 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,385,509 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 87th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,309 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 15.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 340,393 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 91 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its contemporaries.
