Childhood maltreatment has diverse, lifelong impact on morbidity and mortality. The Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) is one of the most commonly used scales to assess quantify these experiences their impact. Curiously, despite very widespread use CTQ, scores its Minimization-Denial (MD) subscale-originally designed a positive response bias-are rarely reported. Hence, little known about this measure. If biases are either common or consequential, current practices ignoring MD scale deserve revision....
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,...
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...
Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) can significantly reduce fatigue in chronic syndrome (CFS), but little is known about the process of change taking place during CBT. Based on a recent treatment model (Wiborg et al. J Psych Res 2012), we examined how (changes in) cognitions and are related to decrease fatigue.We included 183 patients meeting US Centers for Disease Control criteria CFS, aged 18 65 years, starting We measured possible variables before treatment; after 6, 12 weeks; treatment....
Background Despite an aging population that have higher care demand, home visits by general practitioners (GPs) been declining. Aim To analyze the number of GP from 2017 to 2023 in Netherlands, and investigate whether this trend differed according age, sex, multimorbidity, neighborhood deprivation. In addition, most common reasons for between are presented. Design & setting Data were derived Nivel Primary Care Database (Nivel-PCD), containing routinely recorded data approximately 500...
Guideline adherence remains a challenge in clinical practice, despite guidelines' ascribed potential to improve patient outcomes. We studied the level of recommendations from Dutch national cancer treatment guidelines, and influence general cancer-specific guideline characteristics on adherence.Based data registry, was evaluated for 15 breast, colorectal, prostate lung cancer, melanoma. Recommendations were selected by representatives medical specialist associations responsible developing...
<i>Background:</i> Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) can decrease the level of and disabilities, but it has been suggested that during some patients experience a deterioration their symptoms rather than an improvement. The aim this study is to examine frequency severity symptom CBT CFS. <i>Methods:</i> Data from 3 randomised controlled trials on CFS were pooled reanalysed. Symptom trial was rated by measured as in fatigue, pain,...
The number of cancer survivors is steadily increasing and these patients often experience long-lasting health problems. To make care for sustainable the future, it would be relevant to put effects in this phase into perspective. Therefore, authors compared health-related quality life (HRQOL) use among with that chronic diseases.Patients diagnosed at age >18 years a 5-year survival rate > 20% no distant metastases time diagnosis aged physician-diagnosed somatic diseases without were sent...
Background General practitioners (GPs) use gut feelings to diagnose cancer in an early stage, but little is known about its impact. Method Prospective cohort study of patients 44 general practices throughout the Netherlands, from January 2010 until December 2013. GPs completed a questionnaire regarding feelings, patient and GP characteristics, if they noticed cancer-related feeling during consultation. Follow-up questionnaires were sent 3 months later requesting information patient's...
COVID-19 restrictions have resulted in major changes healthcare, including the prescribing of antibiotics. We aimed to monitor antibiotic trends during pandemic Dutch general practice, both daytime and out-of-hours (OOH). Routine care data were used from 379 practices (DGP) 28 OOH-services over period 2019-2021. Per week, we analyzed prescription rates per 100,000 inhabitants, overall, for respiratory urinary tract infections (RTIs UTIs) specifically within age categories. assessed different...
There has been growing interest in the use of real-world data (RWD) to address clinically and policy-relevant (research) questions that cannot be answered with from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) alone. This is, for example, case rare malignancies such as sarcomas limited patient numbers pose challenges conducting RCTs within feasible timeliness, a manageable number collaborators, statistical power. narrative review explores potential RWD generate evidence (RWE) sarcoma research,...
Purpose: Kinesiophobia and catastrophizing are frequent among people with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). This study was aimed at examining (1) whether kinesiophobia, anticipated symptoms related to stair climbing performance in CFS; (2) kinesiophobia daily physical activity CFS. Method: Patients CFS filled a set of questionnaires, performed demanding task (two floors descending) pre-test post-test heart rate monitoring immediate post-stair symptom assessment. Real-time used between the...
Suicidal behaviour is difficult to detect in the general practice. Machine learning (ML) algorithms using routinely collected data might support General Practitioners (GPs) detection of suicidal behaviour. In this paper, we applied machine techniques GPs recognizing primary care patients practice data. This case-control study used from a national representative database including over 1.5 million (Nivel Primary Care Database). Patients with suicide (attempt) 2017 were selected as cases (N =...
Abstract Background A high percentage of people dying at home, and a low being admitted to hospital there are regarded as indicators appropriate care the end life. However, performance standards for these quality often lacking, which makes it difficult state whether an indicator score falls between ranges good or poor care. The aim this study was assess concerning place death utilization in with diseases relevant palliative care, establish best practice based on scores 31 regions...
