Hansted AK, Møller MH, Møller AM, et al. - Researchers aimed at ascertaining the long‐term effect of intermediate care vs standard surgical ward care on mortality in the Intermediate Care After Emergency Abdominal Surgery (InCare) trial. From the InCare trial, they assessed 286 adult participants who underwent emergency major laparoscopy or laparotomy with an Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score of 10 or more. Participants were randomly assigned to either postoperative intermediate care or standard surgical ward care in this trial. Outcomes revealed no statistically significant difference in 6‐year mortality between cases randomized to postoperative intermediate care or ward care after emergency abdominal surgery. However, there was an absolute mortality risk reduction of 5% in correlation with ward care; this could be due to random error.
