Stopping smoking has proven benefits in nearly all illnesses but the impact and health economic of stopping after a diagnosis lung cancer are less well defined. We assessed cost-effectiveness cessation (SC) services for patients with newly diagnosed against current usual care, where unlikely to receive SC service referral.A model was constructed Excel. The modelled population comprised new non-small cell (NSCLC). Data from LungCast data set (Clinical Trials Identifier NCT01192256) were used...
Abstract Background Schools with formal sun safety polices generally show better practices than schools without. Objectives To understand the extent to which Welsh primary have policies; identify key characteristics of assess whether policy adoption varies by school characteristics; and consider what support need develop policies. Methods An online multiple-choice survey on was distributed all 1241 in Wales. Results In total, 471 (38.0%) responded. Of these, 183 (39.0%) reported having a...
Background Skin cancer, including melanoma and non-melanoma (keratinocyte), is increasing in incidence the UK. Accounting for half of all cancers England Wales, disease significantly impacts overstretched dermatology services. Research suggests that 86% preventable with modified sun exposure. Educating children about safety schools can help prevent skin cancer recommended by major health organisations. In England, teaching primary compulsory, while Wales this left to school discretion. Aims...
Background Skin cancer comprises half of all cancers in England and Wales. Most skin can be prevented with safer sun exposure. As over exposure as a child greatly increase future risk, early accessible safety education promotion safe behaviours is critical. Scientists agree there no such thing ‘safe tan’, yet the public, including children, often have positive perceptions tanned skin. To protect against cancer, it important to understand address these misconceptions. The Curriculum for Wales...
Abstract Background Skin cancer rates are on the rise globally. School sun safety programmes recommended by World Health Organization to reduce risk of future skin at population level; however, these encouraged but not mandated in Wales. Objectives To explore current protection practices and education primary schools Wales whether linked existence a formal policy. Methods An online survey all 1241 Welsh asking about practices, policies was undertaken. Results In total, 471 (38.0%) responded....

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of recruiting participants diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF) taking oral anticoagulation therapies (OATs) and recently experiencing a bleed to collect health-related quality life (HRQoL) information. Design Observational study. The study aimed determine minor major bleeds, most appropriate route for recruitment appropriateness patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) selected collecting HRQoL information in AF patients, preferred format surveys....
<b>Introduction:</b> We have recently shown that quitting smoking AFTER a diagnosis of lung cancer is associated with reduction in mortality by 17% at 1 year(1). Our multi-site study (NCT01192256) now reports treatment complication rates Continued Smokers versus Quitters. <b>Methods:</b> Prospective, observational cohort 1134 UK patients newly diagnosed non-small cell (NSCLC). recorded self-reported status, validated eCO(ppm) readings, baseline and each follow-up visit until death for up to...

Abstract Background Oral anticoagulation therapies (OATs) are often prescribed in conjunction with medications to restore normal heart rate rhythm which can limit the risk of an atrial fibrillation (AF) related stroke and systemic thromboembolism. However, they associated serious side effect bleeding. Both clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding (CRNMB) major while anticoagulated believed have a significant impact on patient quality life (QoL). There is currently limited research into has QoL....
Abstract Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. Oral anticoagulation therapies (OATs) are often prescribed in conjunction with medications to restore normal heart rate rhythm which can limit risk of an AF-related stroke and systemic thromboembolism. However, they associated serious side effect bleeding. Both clinically relevant non-major bleeding (CRNMB) major while anticoagulated believed have a significant impact on patient quality life (QoL).
