(2023-05-06). Editorial] India's ascendancy: leadership demands integrity. thelancet.com 2023 is an important year for India. The UN estimates that the country has now surpassed China as the world's most populous nation. It holds the G20 presidency, taking over from Indonesia, and its New Delhi Leader's Summit in September will be the first to be hosted in south Asia. What will these developments mean for its role in the international system? India says that it wants to amplify the voice of the Global South, and its G20 goals reflect this ambition. But the nationalist agenda of Narendra Modi's government, its resistance to multilateralism, and a raft of pressing domestic concerns threaten the chances…

On April 26, 2023, UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman said this: "I think that the people coming here illegally do possess values which are at odds with our country. We are seeing heightened levels of criminality when related to the people who have come on boats related to drug dealing, exploitation, prostitution." Persistent attacks on migrants escaping war, poverty, and insecurity are now normalised in British politics.

(2023-05-06). Perspectives] Sidelined from history. thelancet.com Surgeons have had a surprisingly outsize impact on the history of psychology. The modern concept of psychological trauma partly originates with surgeon John Erichsen's diagnosis of "railway spine". Erichsen, who worked at University College Hospital (UCH), London, UK, noticed how some people escaped railway accidents without injury but experienced persisting psychological distress. His 1866 book, On Railway and Other Injures of the Nervous System, suggested this was caused by "spinal concussion", laying the first stone in the century-long road to post-traumatic stress disorder.

(2023-05-06). Correspondence] Unanswered questions from the IRONMAN trial. thelancet.com There is currently no strong evidence that intravenous iron saves lives or decreases the incidence of hospitalisation in patients with heart failure. The demonstrated benefit in the IRONMAN1 and FAIR-HF2 trials is a functional improvement. This benefit must be weighed against the risks to the patient. Hypophosphataemia is common after intravenous iron.3 However, it is rarely symptomatic and only leads to muscle weakness and bone fracture in a minority of patients receiving repeated intravenous iron.
(2023-05-06). Correspondence] Unanswered questions from the IRONMAN trial — Authors' reply. thelancet.com We thank Pierre Ambrosi and Gilbert Habib, and Tomohiko Sato and Ayumi Nojiri for their Correspondences. Ambrosi and Habib cast doubt on the morbidity and mortality benefits of intravenous iron in heart failure and commented on the potential risks of hypophosphataemia, allergic reaction, and infection. Although there is no current evidence that intravenous iron reduces the risk of death, there is good evidence that it reduces heart failure hospitalisation risk.1—3 We agree that any proposed treatment should be discussed with patients as part of shared decision making.
(2023-05-06). Correspondence] Surgical site infections: does one glove fit all? thelancet.com We congratulate the ChEETAh trial group on a well performed, highly relevant trial.1 However, we do not entirely agree with their conclusion. For power calculations, a 4% absolute difference in surgical site infections (SSIs) was considered minimally clinically important. Although highly statistically significant, the clinical relevance of the observed 2 ∑8% absolute reduction in SSIs is unclear. The number needed to treat (NNT) to avoid one SSI is 36, which might not justify the intervention. Most incisional SSIs are superficial2 and easily treated with bedside drainage, causing minimal morbidity.
(2023-05-06). Correspondence] Surgical site infections: does one glove fit all? — Authors' reply. thelancet.com We thank Johannes Kurt Schultz and colleagues for their Correspondence about the ChEETAh trial.1 We encourage readers to consider both relative and absolute risk reduction when making decisions about practice change. The absolute risk of surgical site infection (SSI) varies substantially from patient to patient and operation to operation, so considering the absolute effect size could lead to underestimation or overestimation of relative clinical effectiveness. Our interaction analysis showed no significant difference in effectiveness between key subgroups (eg, emergency vs elective, clean—contaminated vs co…
(2023-05-06). Correspondence] Optimal usage of antibacterial sutures for wound closure in clinical trials addressing SSI. thelancet.com The FALCON trial1 was a large-scale evaluation of two evidence-based interventions for the prevention of surgical site infection (SSI) in clean-contaminated, or contaminated or dirty abdominal surgical wounds. These interventions were alcoholic chlorhexidine skin preparation and triclosan-coated sutures.
(2023-05-06). Correspondence] Optimal usage of antibacterial sutures for wound closure in clinical trials addressing SSI — Authors' response. thelancet.com We thank Niels-Derrek Schmitz and colleagues for their letter about the FALCON trial.1 In keeping with our hypothesis, we did not test triclosan-coated sutures for skin closure but we did test them for closure of the deep abdominal wall fascia. The deep fascia is where our network identified clinical equipoise and the highest likelihood of a clinically meaningful effect. Since we are unable to comment on the effectiveness of triclosan-coated skin sutures (which are a different product to that used to close the fascia), these could influence minor superficial infections, warranting further investigation.
