Impact of Barrett oesophagus diagnoses and endoscopies on oesophageal cancer survival in the UK
BACKGROUND: Current guidelines recommend endoscopic surveillance for Barrett oesophagus (BE), but the value of surveillance is still debated. Using a combination of primary care, secondary care and cancer registry datasets, we...
A stochastic programming approach to surgery scheduling under parallel processing principle
Parallel processing is a principle which enables simultaneous implementation of anesthesia induction and operating room (OR) turnover with the aim of improving OR utilization. In this article, we study the problem of...
