<h3>Objectives</h3> To determine the feasibility and safety of pre-stenting with a bare metal stent (BMS) before percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI), to analyse whether this approach improves haemodynamic outcomes impacts on incidence PPVI fractures. <h3>Design</h3> Retrospective analysis prospectively collected data. <h3>Setting</h3> Tertiary paediatric adult congenital heart cardiac centre. <h3>Patients interventions</h3> 108 consecutive patients disease underwent between...
Recovery from myocardial infarction has been associated with patients' perceptions of damage to their heart. New technologies offer a way show patients animations that may foster more accurate and encourage medication adherence, increased exercise faster return activities. The purpose this study was investigate the effects brief animated intervention delivered at bedside on recovery in acute coronary syndrome patients. Seventy were randomly assigned or standard care alone. Illness...
Patients often hold negative perceptions toward biosimilars that can create barriers to their uptake. Physicians also report uncertainty in how best explain biosimilars. The aim of this study was measure the effect differently framed explanations on patients' and willingness change a biosimilar hypothetical drug switch.Ninety-six patients with rheumatic diseases taking an originator biologic were randomized receive 1 4 explanations: positive framing without analogy, analogy. Willingness...
Introduction: Little is known about replacement costs of care provided by informal carers during the last year life for people dying cancer and non-cancer diseases. Aim: To estimate caregiving explore relationship with carer decedent characteristics. Design: National observational study bereaved carers. Questions included end-of-life into 2017 Health Survey England including estimated recalled frequency, duration intensity provision. We a decedent’s valuing time at price substitutable...
Co-morbid anxiety and depression (distress) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) results poorer outcomes increased healthcare burden. IBD services require scalable treatment pathways for distress to meet this need. This real-world longitudinal study evaluates the implementation of a new integrated care pathway including: 1) routine mental health screening 2) therapist-guided, digital CBT tailored challenges living with (compass adaptations IBD: COMPASS-IBD) UK National Health Service (NHS)...
Abstract Objectives Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a debilitating and under‐recognized condition of the autonomic nervous system. This study applied Leventhal's Common‐Sense Model Illness Representations to explore journey diagnosis POTS understand its relevance poorly understood conditions which have common comorbidities. Design An inductive qualitative approach was used processes by patients formulate explanations management symptoms within search for diagnostic label...
Family caregivers provide significant care at the end of life. We aimed to describe caregiver characteristics, and those unwilling repeat this role under same circumstances.Observational study adults in private households (Health Survey for England [HSE]). Caregiving questions included: whether someone close them died within past 5 years; relationship deceased; provision, intensity duration care; supportive/palliative services used; willingness again; able carry on with Comparison between...
Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS) is a poorly understood syndrome of multiple disabling symptoms. This study explored the process seeking diagnosis PoTS. Analysis focused on changes before and after participants' first appointment with national PoTS clinic, whether beneficial in context co-occurring conditions an absence licenced treatments.
To investigate the relationship between stigma perception and demographic, clinical, psychosocial variables.A sample of 50 patients with gout prescribed urate-lowering medication (84% were males, mean serum urate 0.34 mmol/l) completed questionnaires on internalized anticipated stigma, demographics, clinical gout-related variables, variables (illness perceptions, illness-related disability, body satisfaction, intentional nonadherence). Serum level was obtained from most recent blood test.In...
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs fast-track for surgical procedures, including colorectal and gynecological oncology surgery. Early mobilization is a postoperative ERAS module that can be self-managed by patients, but poor adherence common. Visualization increasingly being used to improve patient understanding health behaviors. This study tested whether an animated visualization intervention could mobilization.Ninety six patients were randomized intervention, active control,...
BackgroundOsteoporosis is a degenerative bone disorder that disproportionately affects older women worldwide. Raising awareness regarding osteoporosis within this demographic significant for health promotion. Initial evidence suggests visualisations of illness and treatment can improve perceptions, increase motivations even promote behaviours. We are yet to understand whether different visualisation mediums vary in their impact on perceptions motivations.
Maintaining adherence to treatment for tuberculosis (TB) is essential if the disease be eliminated. As part of formative research develop an intervention improve adherence, we documented lived experiences adults receiving anti-TB (ATT) in three UK cities and examined how personal, social, structural circumstances interacted impact on individuals' treatment. Using a topic guide that explored social TB care, conducted in-depth interviews with 18 (six women) who were being or had been treated...
To investigate the relationship between cell-associated HIV-1 dynamics and recent thymic T-cell emigrants, DNA receptor rearrangement excision circles (TREC, a marker of emigrants) were measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells 181 samples from 33 HIV-1-infected children followed for 96 weeks after antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation.At baseline, was higher with TREC (P=0.02) not related to age, CD4 or RNA multivariate analyses (P>0.3). Overall, increased decreased significantly ART...
Objective Patients are likely to have individual preferences for learning about health, which may influence their comprehension and utilization of health information. Some patients prefer visual information, can make complex information easier understand. Aligning presentation with increase understanding improve outcomes, yet no scale measures Design Two studies examined the psychometric properties Health Visual Information Preference Scale (Health VIPS), a new measure designed assess...
