High-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays permit use of lower thresholds for the diagnosis myocardial infarction, but whether this improves clinical outcomes is unknown. We aimed to determine introduction a high-sensitivity I (hs-cTnI) assay with sex-specific 99th centile diagnostic threshold would reduce subsequent infarction or cardiovascular death in patients suspected acute coronary syndrome.In stepped-wedge, cluster-randomised controlled trial across ten secondary tertiary care hospitals...
Background: The introduction of more sensitive cardiac troponin assays has led to increased recognition myocardial injury in acute illnesses other than coronary syndrome. Universal Definition Myocardial Infarction recommends high-sensitivity testing and classification patients with based on pathogenesis, but the clinical implications implementing this guideline are not well understood. Methods: In a stepped-wedge cluster randomized, controlled trial, we implemented assay recommendations 48...
Importance Type 2 myocardial infarction occurs owing to multiple factors associated with oxygen supply-demand imbalance, which may confer different risks of adverse outcomes. Objective To evaluate the prevalence and outcomes imbalance among patients type infarction. Design, Setting, Participants In this secondary analysis a stepped-wedge, cluster randomized clinical trial conducted at 10 tertiary care hospitals in Scotland, 6096 an adjudicated diagnosis 1 or from June 10, 2013, March 3,...
For over a decade, Scotland has implemented and operationalized system of Safe Havens, which provides secure analytics platforms for researchers to access linked, deidentified electronic health records (EHRs) while managing the risk unauthorized reidentification. In this paper, perspective is provided on state-of-the-art Scottish Haven network, including its evolution, define key activities required scale network’s capability facilitate research care improvement initiatives. A set processes...
High-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays have improved the diagnosis of myocardial infarction in patients with healthy kidney function and are now widely used clinical practice. 1However, impairment, long-term elevations levels common, interpretation can be more challenging. 2 As such, effect implementing hs-cTn testing on outcomes impairment is uncertain.Methods | High-Sensitivity Troponin Evaluation Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome (High-STEACS) was a stepped-wedge,...
Abstract Trustees are routinely faced with problems that need solutions, many of which significant no clear or easy resolution within reach. Both onshore and offshore, the Public Trustee v Cooper jurisdiction offers a helpful set court-assisted solutions for number different types issues encountered by trustees. But to what extent should beneficiaries trusts be able weave their way into issue-resolution decision-making processes, just how far (and long) trustee remain engaged in process?...

Abstract Trusts are commonly used for asset protection, however the popularity of revocable trusts and reserved powers has led to a tendency draft trust deeds with extensive settlor or some other person ensure that an element control over is retained. That approach not without risk extent scope any can have unintended consequences lead trust's protection characteristics being eroded. In this article we look at key decisions where use resulted in loss their sought achieve, highlighting risks...
