Summary: Purpose: To study the impact of epilepsy and its treatment on people with in Europe. We therefore aimed to collect data from as many countries possible. Methods: Clinical demographic details information about psychosocial functioning was collected using self‐completed questionnaires mailed members support groups. Results: Quality life >5,000 patients living 15 Over a third all respondents had frequent seizures, fifth believed that their seizures were not well enough controlled by...
Summary: Purpose: The increased risk of mortality among people with epilepsy is well documented; are more likely than the general population to die as a result an accident. Data about incidence nonfatal accidents and associated factors not so readily available, even though such common fatal injuries. We report proportion who sustain various injuries during seizure key variables predicting injury. Methods: Questionnaires were mailed unselected, community‐based patients epilepsy. questionnaire...
Background Patient and public involvement (PPI) is advocated in clinical trials yet evidence on how to optimise its impact limited. We explored researchers' PPI contributors' accounts of the within factors likely influence impact. Methods Semi-structured qualitative interviews with researchers contributors accessed through a cohort randomised trials. Analysis transcripts audio-recorded was informed by principles constant comparative method, elements content analysis informant triangulation....
: Patient and public involvement (PPI) in research is increasingly required, although evidence to inform its implementation limited.Inform the base by describing how plans for PPI were implemented within clinical trials identifying challenges lessons learnt teams.We compared extracted from trial grant applications (funded National Institute Health Research Technology Assessment Programme between 2006 2010) with researchers' contributors' interview accounts of implementation. Analysis...
Training in patient and public involvement (PPI) is recommended, yet little known about what training needed. We explored researchers' PPI contributors' accounts of activity to inform the design for both parties.
The purpose of this study was to investigate current patterns management and outcomes intermittent distance exotropia [X(T)] in the UK. This an observational cohort which recruited 460 children aged < 12 years with previously untreated X(T). Eligible subjects were enrolled from 26 UK hospital ophthalmology clinics between May 2005 December 2006. Over a 2-year period follow-up, clinical data prospectively recorded at standard intervals enrolment. Data collected included angle, near...
ABSTRACT The mental health needs of older people in prison (OPiP) are considerable but remain overlooked. This review aimed to develop an Initial Programme Theory (IPT) understand how the OPiP can be addressed and care for community could adapted environment. A realist synthesis pertaining was conducted across three stages, including: (1) a systematic empirical work; (2) scoping guidance documents; (3) documents. Synthesis eligible literature development IPT followed principles supplemented...
Background In comparison with other study designs, randomised trials are regarded as particularly likely to benefit from patient and public involvement (PPI). Using mixed-methods research we investigated PPI the perspectives of researchers contributors. Methods Randomised in receipt funding Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme between 2006 2010 were identified. Funding applications board referee comments obtained data relevant extracted. Chief investigators (CIs), contributors UK...
Many people are living in prison with a range of social care needs, for example, requiring support washing, eating, getting around safely, and/or maintaining relationships. However, this vulnerable group is generally inadequate. There uncertainty and confusion about who legally responsible how it can best be provided, lack integration healthcare. We used realist-informed approaches to develop an initial programme theory (IPT) identifying/assessing needs of, providing to, male adults on...
A review of stroke-specific quality life (QOL) measures indicated little evidence their validity/reliability.To describe the development/validation a new measure - Newcastle Stroke-Specific Quality Life Measure (NEWSQOL).Phase I: qualitative interviews (28 stroke patients) determined QOL issues for inclusion in measure. Initial items/response categories were pre-tested (30 patients). Administration NEWSQOL item reduction stage (100 identified poorly performing items and factor analysis...
To evaluate the use of Newcastle Control Score (NCS) in management intermittent exotropia (X(T)).Children aged <11 years with X(T) had an assessment NCS as part routine management. Other data collected included visual acuity, near and distance alignment alternating prism cover test (Frisby test) stereoacuity Davis Distance Stereotest (FD2TM)). Analysis involved correlation between baseline NCS, angle stereoacuity, examination change over time logistic regression to determine predictors...
<h3>Aim:</h3> To investigate factors associated with early management of intermittent exotropia (X(T)) in hospital eye departments the UK a prospective cohort study. <h3>Methods:</h3> An inception 460 children aged <12 years previously untreated X(T) (mean age 3.6 years, 55.9% girls) was recruited from 26 children's clinics and orthoptic departments. Participants received standard ophthalmic examination at recruitment assessment three-monthly intervals thereafter. The influence severity...
<h3>Purpose</h3> To describe surgical outcomes in intermittent exotropia (X(T)), and to relate these preoperative characteristics. <h3>Methods</h3> 87 children (aged <11 years) underwent surgery 18 UK centres; review data (mean 21 months post-surgery) were available for 72. The primary outcome measure was motor/sensory (angle stereoacuity). secondary satisfactory control assessed by Newcastle Control Score (NCS). <h3>Results</h3> 35% of patients had excellent, 28% fair 37% poor outcome....
