High-Flow Nasal Oxygen vs Standard Oxygen Therapy and Length of Hospital Stay in Children With Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure. jamanetwork.com To the Editor A recent randomized clinical trial reported that children who received early high-flow nasal oxygen therapy for mild to moderate acute hypoxemic respiratory failure had a significantly longer length of stay in the hospital than those who initially received standard oxygen therapy. Although we appreciate the authors' list of hypotheses for why children allocated to high-flow oxygen therapy had a prolonged length of stay, we believe there may be some other important explanations for this trial's finding.

jamanetwork (2023-05-09). High-Flow Nasal Oxygen vs Standard Oxygen Therapy and Length of Hospital Stay in Children With Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure—Reply. jamanetwork.com In Reply The Letter by Dr Hsu and colleagues provides further insight into the reasons why children who were randomized to high-flow nasal oxygen therapy had a longer length of hospital stay than children treated with standard oxygen therapy in our study. We agree with the Letter authors' comments, except that our study protocol provided no additional observation period after cessation of high-flow oxygen therapy, so this factor could not have substantially contributed to the results. We support the notion that there are excessive ICU admissions for infants with bronchiolitis. The PARIS-2 trial excluded infants w…

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.

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.

Claire Kelloway, Food & Power. (2023-05-04). As Food Prices Rise, Study Finds Market Power Drove Pandemic Inflation. popularresistance.org On earnings calls last week, major food brands bragged about their ability to keep raising prices.

Adesoji Ademuyiwa, Dmitri Nepogodiev, Stephen Tabiri, Aneel Bhangu (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.

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.

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.
