About
Lorna Aucott is a biostatistician whose work has significantly advanced evidence-based practice in perioperative medicine and public health. Her research focuses on the design and analysis of clinical trials, particularly in surgical recovery and maternal health. Aucott’s major contributions include leading the statistical analysis for the landmark ALLEGRO trial (2022), a placebo-controlled randomised study investigating intravenous lidocaine to accelerate gastrointestinal recovery after colorectal surgery. This trial, which has garnered 14 citations, addressed a critical clinical problem—delayed GI function affects up to 40% of patients, prolonging hospital stays and causing complications. By providing rigorous statistical methodology, Aucott helped clarify the efficacy of lidocaine in this context, influencing perioperative care protocols. Beyond this, her expertise spans systematic reviews and meta-analyses in areas like breastfeeding and obesity, where her work has informed health policy. With a career dedicated to translating complex data into actionable clinical insights, Aucott’s contributions have shaped surgical recovery standards and maternal-child health guidelines, making her a trusted figure in applied biostatistics.
