    Abstract Background The Personal Performance in Mammographic Screening (PERFORMS) scheme is used to assess reader performance. Whether this scheme can assess the performance of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms is unknown. Purpose To compare the performance of human readers and a commercially available AI algorithm interpreting PERFORMS test sets. Materials and Methods In this retrospective study, two PERFORMS test sets, each consisting of 60 challenging cases, were evaluated by human readers between May 2018 and March 2021 and were evaluated by an AI algorithm in 2022. AI considered each breast separately, assigning a suspicion of malignancy score to features detected. Performance was assessed using the highest score per breast. Performance metrics, including sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), were calculated for AI and humans. The study was powered to detect a medium-sized effect (odds ratio, 3.5 or 0.29) for sensitivity. Results A total of 552 human readers interpreted both PERFORMS test sets, consisting of 161 normal breasts, 70 malignant breasts, and nine benign breasts. No difference was observed at the breast level between the AUC for AI and the AUC for human readers (0.93% and 0.88%, respectively;

    Abstract Background: Analyse admissions to Royal Perth Hospital (RPH) with acute small bowel obstruction (SBO), and identify trends between outcomes and management.
    Methods: Retrospective, single-centre review of patients admitted to RPH with acute SBO, between May 2017 and May 2018.
    Results: A total of 251 admissions met inclusion criteria. Increasing age correlated with increasing total length of stay (LOS) (r = 0.134, P = 0.033) and post-operative LOS (r = 0.349, P < 0.0001). Increasing age led to poorer outcomes (P < 0.0001). Diagnoses were most commonly adhesions (167/251 = 66.5%), hernias (47/251 = 18.7%) and inflammatory bowel diseases (11/251 = 4.4%). Operation rate for adhesional SBO was 24.6% (41/167) and non-adhesional SBO 54.8% (46/84). Median total LOS for operative versus conservative management was 9 days (interquartile range (IQR) 8) versus 3 days (IQR 3) (P < 0.0001). Median time to surgery was 1 day (IQR 2). Increased time from admission to theatre led to increasing post-operative LOS (r = 0.398, P = 0.0013). Median post-operative LOS for bowel resection versus no resection was 9 days (IQR 4.5) versus 6 days (IQR 4) (P = 0.0128). Of 101, 81 (80.2%) adhesional SBO resolved non-operatively after receiving Gastrografin, compared to 45 of 66 (68.2%) of those who did not (P = 0.07). It did not significantly alter total or post-operative LOS (P = 0.65 and P = 0.96), patient outcome (P = 0.26), or need for bowel resection (P = 0.63).
    Conclusions: Operative management, bowel resection, older age and increasing time from admission to surgery increase LOS. Trial of Gastrografin in non-operative management of adhesion type small bowel obstructions does not significantly affect outcomes but tends to reduce operative rates.

    Abstract Purpose: The aim of this review was to examine whether neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) can predict the presence of cholecystitis and distinguish between simple and severe cholecystitis.
    Methods: A systematic literature search was performed. Risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Random effects model was used to calculate mean difference (MD) in two situations: (a) no cholecystitis versus cholecystitis and (b) simple versus severe cholecystitis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to determine cut-off values of NLR for the above situations.
    Results: Ten retrospective studies comprising of 2827 patients were included. Three hundred twenty-seven had no cholecystitis, 2100 had simple cholecystitis and the remaining 400 had severe cholecystitis. NLR was significantly higher in acute cholecystitis compared to "no cholecystitis" (MD = 8.05 (95% CI 7.71-8.38), p < 0.01) and in severe cholecystitis when compared with simple cholecystitis (MD = 3.14 (95% CI 1.26-5.02), p < 0.01). For patients with cholecystitis compared to those without cholecystitis, an NLR cut-off value of 2.98 was identified (AUC = 0.90). Logistic regression analysis confirmed an NLR > 2.9 was an independent predictor of cholecystitis (OR 36.0, p = 0.006). In simple versus severe cholecystitis, an NLR cut-off value of 8.5 was identified (AUC = 0.73). Binary logistic regression analysis suggested an NLR > 8.5 was not an independent predictor of severe cholecystitis (OR 6.5 p = 0.090).
    Conclusion: NLR is significantly higher in patients with cholecystitis of any severity compared to patients without cholecystitis. Moreover, NLR can predict acute cholecystitis. However, NLR cannot predict the severity of disease due to inadequately powered studies. Future research is required.

    Abstract Background: Gallstone related pathology (GRP) accounts for a significant proportion of general surgery admissions. The aim of this study is to investigate if seasonal variation for GRP admissions exist in England allowing improved resource allocation and planning.
    Methods: This multicentre retrospective cohort study included only emergency adult (≥18 years old) admissions to acute secondary care with ICD-10 codes associated with gallstones between 01/01/2010 to 31/12/2019 in England using Hospital Episode Statistics data. Seasons were defined according to United Kingdom Met Office.
    Results: A total of 396 879 GRP related admissions were recorded during the specified period, accounting for 1.44% of all emergency admissions. Our study suggests a significant seasonal peak in Summer (n = 102 620) based cumulative admissions per season and a linear regression model (p < 0.001), followed by Autumn (n = 102 267), then Spring (n = 97 807) and finally Winter (n = 94 185). Spectral analysis confirmed there is seasonality in the emergency GRP admissions every 12 months. A forecasting model was shown to be reliable; all observed admissions for 2019 were within the 95% prediction intervals for each month for the proportion of emergency GRP admissions.
    Conclusion: Resource allocation towards the Summer months to target seasonal peaks in GRP should be considered.

    Abstract Using a Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) methodology, we describe our first cycle of a project using an ice-cream oral nutritional supplement (ONS ice-cream) to address malnutrition in older patients. A Scandishake-based® (Nutricia) vanilla flavored ice-cream was developed and piloted on a cohort of orthopedic patients over 3 days. All suitable patients were offered 100 g ice-cream portions (240 kcal/per portion). Acceptability and energy intake were our primary outcomes. Over 3 days, the ONS ice-cream was accepted in 77% (n = 27, median age, 75 years, IQR 12.5) of the times offered. Among these patients the average energy intake per day including the ONS ice-cream was 1006 kcal, a 41% increase in energy intake compared to an initial nutritional survey among the older orthopedic patients (714 kcal, p = 0.010). When surveyed 84% (n = 16) of patients stated they would have the ONS ice-cream again. An ONS ice-cream intervention to improve energy intake in older adults is feasible.

    Abstract Objectives: Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) can improve diagnostic accuracy compared to 2D mammography, but DBT reporting is time-consuming and potentially more fatiguing. Changes in diagnostic accuracy and subjective and objective fatigue were evaluated over a DBT reporting session, and the impact of taking a reporting break was assessed.
    Materials and methods: Forty-five National Health Service (NHS) mammography readers from 6 hospitals read a cancer-enriched set of 40 DBT cases whilst eye tracked in this prospective cohort study, from December 2020 to April 2022. Eye-blink metrics were assessed as objective fatigue measures. Twenty-one readers had a reporting break, 24 did not. Subjective fatigue questionnaires were completed before and after the session. Diagnostic accuracy and subjective and objective fatigue measures were compared between the cohorts using parametric and non-parametric significance testing.
    Results: Readers had on average 10 years post-training breast screening experience and took just under 2 h (105.8 min) to report all cases. Readers without a break reported greater levels of subjective fatigue (44% vs. 33%, p = 0.04), which related to greater objective fatigue: an increased average blink duration (296 ms vs. 286 ms, p < 0.001) and a reduced eye-opening velocity (76 mm/s vs. 82 mm/s, p < 0.001). Objective fatigue increased as the trial progressed for the no break cohort only (ps < 0.001). No difference was identified in diagnostic accuracy between the groups (accuracy: 87% vs. 87%, p = 0.92).
    Conclusions: Implementing a break during a 2-h DBT reporting session resulted in lower levels of subjective and objective fatigue. Breaks did not impact diagnostic accuracy, which may be related to the extensive experience of the readers.
    Clinical relevance statement: DBT is being incorporated into many mammography screening programmes. Recognising that reporting breaks are required when reading large volumes of DBT studies ensures this can be factored in when setting up reading sessions.
    Trial registration: Clinical trials registration number: NCT03733106 KEY POINTS: • Use of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in breast screening programmes can cause significant reader fatigue. • The effectiveness of incorporating reading breaks into DBT reporting sessions, to reduce mammography reader fatigue, was investigated using eye tracking. • Integrating breaks into DBT reporting sessions reduced reader fatigue; however, diagnostic accuracy was unaffected.

    Abstract Objectives: The interpretation of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) screening examinations is a complex task for an already overstretched workforce which has the potential to increase pressure on readers leading to fatigue and patient safety issues. Studies in non-medical and medical settings have suggested that changes in blink characteristics can reflect fatigue. The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of blink characteristics as an objective marker of fatigue in readers interpreting DBT breast screening examinations.
    Methods: Twenty-six DBT readers involved in the UK PROSPECTS trial interpreted a test set of 40 DBT cases while being observed by an eye tracking device from November 2019 to February 2021. Raw data from the eye tracker were collected and automated processing software was used to produce eye blinking characteristics data which were analysed using multiple linear regression statistical models.
    Results: Of the 26 DBT readers recruited, eye tracking data from 23 participants were analysed due to missing data rendering 3 participants' data uninterpretable. The mean reading time per DBT case was 2.81 min. There was a statistically significant increase in blinking duration of 0.38 ms/case as the reading session progressed (
    Conclusion: Changes in blinking characteristics could serve as objective measures of reader fatigue and may prove useful in the development of DBT reading protocols.
    Advances in knowledge: Blink characteristics can be used as an objective measure of fatigue; however there is limited evidence of their use in radiological settings. Our study suggests that changes in blink duration and frequency could be used to monitor fatigue in DBT reading sessions.
