Chronic diseases and multimorbidity are common expected to rise over the coming years. The objective of this study is examine time trend in prevalence chronic period 2001 till 2011 Netherlands, extent which can be ascribed aging population.Monitoring study, using two data sources: 1) medical records patients listed a nationally representative network general practices 2002-2011, 2) national health interview surveys 2001-2011. Regression models were used trends prevalence-rates time, with...
Multimorbidity is common among ageing populations and it affects the demand for health services. The objective of this study was to examine relationship between multimorbidity (i.e. number diseases specific combinations diseases) use general practice services in Dutch population 55 years older.Data on diagnosed chronic diseases, contacts (including face-to-face consultations, phone contacts, home visits), drug prescription rates, referral rates specialised care were derived from Netherlands...
Declining residual renal function, as indicated by the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), is associated with an increased mortality risk in patients end-stage disease (ESRD) on dialysis.We monitored GFR and 1800 haemodialysis (HD) peritoneal dialysis (PD) 1996-2006. We used a marginal structural model to estimate causal effects both of when it was not completely lost subsequent full loss mortality, avoiding drawbacks standard regression models that include covariates adjust for confounding....
Incidence rates and prevalence proportions are commonly used to express the populations health status. Since there several methods calculate these epidemiological measures, good comparison between studies countries is difficult. This study investigates impact of different operational definitions numerators denominators on incidence proportions. Data from routine electronic records general practices contributing NIVEL Primary Care Database was used. were calculated using (person-years...
Abstract Purpose In breast cancer patients, treatment-related health symptoms can occur that may affect their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study aimed to determine the impact on HRQoL in patients up 5 years after diagnosis. Methods Females surgically treated for early-stage diagnosed between 2012 and 2016 ( n = 876) were selected from Netherlands Cancer Registry invited a survey about current (‘Symptoms Perceptions questionnaire’, SaP) (‘EORTC-QLQ-C30’). From latter,...
Expert national/global asthma management recommendations raise the issue whether a safe threshold of short-acting beta-2 agonist (SABA) use without concomitant inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) exists.To examine SABA and maintenance therapy associations with severe exacerbations across North America Europe.Observational analyses 10 SABa IN Asthma (SABINA) datasets involving 1,033,564 patients (≥12 y) from Canada, France, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, United Kingdom, States. Negative binomial...
Routinely recorded electronic health records (EHRs) from general practitioners (GPs) are increasingly available and provide valuable data for estimating incidence prevalence rates of diseases in the population. This paper describes how we developed an algorithm to construct episodes illness based on EHR calculate morbidity rates.The goal research was develop a simple uniform record method these illness.The discussion rounds with two expert groups tested Netherlands Institute Health Services...
Abstract Background In the Netherlands, general practitioners (GPs) and community nurses play a central role in palliative care for home-dwelling patients with advanced cancer their relatives. To optimize provision at home, it is important to have insight elements that relatives consider essential high-quality care, whether these essentials are present actual they receive. Methods Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted 13 14 The participants discussed experiences support...
Background. Most patients on haemodialysis (HD) have to maintain a fluid-restricted diet prevent high interdialytic weight gain (IWG). The prevalence of xerostomia (the feeling dry mouth) is higher in HD than controls. Recently, we demonstrated that and thirst were positively correlated with IWG patients. Thus, this may play role as stimulus for fluid intake between dialysis sessions. aim the present study was investigate effect chewing gum or saliva substitute xerostomia, IWG.
The number of cancer survivors is increasing, and patients with often experience long-lasting consequences its treatment. Because the variety health problems high prevalence comorbidity, primary care physicians (PCPs) seem obvious candidates to take these patients, insight into (PHC) use needed. We aimed find determinants for PHC in survivors.Using data from Netherlands Information Network Primary Care, we determined volume 1,256 adult breast cancer, 503 prostate 487 colorectal 2 5 years...
To support the management of multimorbid patients in primary care, evidence is needed on prevalent multimorbidity patterns.To identify common and distinctive patterns.Clinical data 120480 (≥55 years) were extracted from 158 general practices 2002-11. Prevalence rates analyzed (overall, for 24 chronic diseases), adjusted practice, number diseases patients' registration period; differentiated between 55-69 ≥70 years. investigate patterns, prevalence ratios (prevalence rate index-disease group...
The increasing number of cancer survivors has heightened demands on hospital-based follow-up care resources. To address this, involving general practitioners (GPs) in oncological is proposed. This study explores secondary providers' views integrating GPs into for curatively treated breast and colorectal survivors. A qualitative exploratory was conducted using semi-structured interviews with Dutch medical specialists nurse practitioners. Interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim,...
