Br J Surg 2022; 109: 846-856.

Nurse led follow-up did not increase compliance with best medical therapy after one year in this study that included 214 patients: 79 versus 82 per cent.

Comment: Disappointing, but useful for planning ongoing care. The focus must be on comprehensive patient information at the point of treatment.
