There are wide international differences in 1-year cancer survival. The UK and Denmark perform poorly compared with other high-income countries similar health care systems: Australia, Canada Sweden have good survival rates, Norway intermediate rates. objective of this study was to examine the pattern awareness beliefs across these identify where might contribute
Abstract Background Patients with multimorbidity are frequent users of healthcare, but fragmented care may lead to suboptimal treatment. Yet, this has never been examined across healthcare sectors on a national scale. We aimed quantify fragmentation using various measures and analyze the associations patient outcomes. Methods conducted register-based nationwide cohort study 4.7 million Danish adult citizens. All contacts primary hospitals during 2018 were recorded. Clinical indicators...
Denmark has poorer 5-year survival rates than many other Western European countries, and cancer patients tend to have more advanced stages at diagnosis those in Scandinavian countries. Part of this may be due delay diagnosis. The aim paper is give an overview the initiatives currently underway reduce delays.Description Danish actions delay.Results surveys patient-, doctor- system-related delays are presented so political ensure that seen as acute disease.In future, fast-track treatment will...
Delay in diagnosis of cancer may worsen prognosis. The aim this study is to explore patient-, general practitioner (GP)- and system-related delay the interval from first symptom treatment, analyse extent which delays differ by type. Population-based cohort conducted 2004-05 County Aarhus, Denmark (640,000 inhabitants). Data were collected administrative registries questionnaires completed GPs on 2,212 patients newly diagnosed during a 1-year period. Median (in days) with interquartile (IQI)...
The relationship between the diagnostic interval and mortality from colorectal cancer (CRC) is unclear. This association was examined by taking account of important confounding factors at time first presentation symptoms in primary care. A total 268 patients with CRC were included a prospective, population-based study Danish county. defined as until diagnosis. We analysed separately according to general practitioner's interpretation symptoms. Logistic regression used estimate 3-year odds...
<h3>Background</h3> It is puzzling to note that British and Danish citizens have a poorer cancer prognosis than from other countries, this study hypothesises their low survival could be partly rooted in the gatekeeper function undertaken by general practice these two countries. <h3>Aim</h3> To test association between principles of systems survival. <h3>Design setting</h3> An ecologic with data EUROCARE-4 primary care structure. <h3>Method</h3> This hypothesis was tested an on three 19...
Many countries have implemented standardised cancer patient pathways (CPPs) to ensure fast diagnosis of patients suspected having cancer. Yet, studies are sparse on the impact such CPPs, and few distinguished between referral routes. For incident patients, we aimed determine how often GPs at time first presentation symptoms in general practice describe routes for further investigation. In addition, analyse if GP’s suspicion could predict choice a CPP. Finally, associations not only...
To investigate associations between cancer survivors' sex, age, and diagnosis in relation to their (1) need for rehabilitation, (2) participation rehabilitation activities, (3) unmet needs a 14-month period following date of diagnosis.A population-based cohort study was performed on incident patients diagnosed from 1 October 2007 30 September 2008. Fourteen months after diagnosis, participants completed questionnaire developed measure the aspects rehabilitation. Logistic regression analyses...
Objectives The International Cancer Benchmarking Partnership (ICBP) is a collaboration between 6 countries and 12 jurisdictions with similar primary care-led health services. This study investigates care physician (PCP) behaviour systems that may contribute to the timeliness of investigating for cancer subsequently, international survival differences. Design A validated survey administered PCPs via internet set out in two parts: direct questions on structure practice relating diagnosis,...
Research has illustrated that the decision-making process regarding healthcare seeking for symptoms is complex and associated with a variety of factors, including gender differences. Enhanced understanding frequency behaviour in general population may increase our knowledge this field. The primary objective study was to estimate prevalence self-reported proportion individuals reporting GP contact, large Danish nationwide cohort. A secondary explore differences contacts response experiencing...
Objectives To develop an internationally validated measure of cancer awareness and beliefs; the beliefs about (ABC) measure. Design setting Items modified from existing measures were assessed by a working group in six countries (Australia, Canada, Denmark, Norway, Sweden UK). Validation studies completed UK, cross-sectional surveys general population carried out participating countries. Participants Testing UK English included cognitive interviewing for face validity (N=10), calculation...
A Danish cancer pathway has been implemented for patients with serious non-specific symptoms and signs of (NSSC-CPP). The initiative is one several to improve the long diagnostic interval poor survival patients. However, little known about investigated under this pathway. We aim describe characteristics referred from general practice NSSC-CPP estimate probability distribution in population.A cross-sectional study was performed, including all at hospitals Aarhus or Silkeborg Central Denmark...
When aiming to provide more expedited cancer diagnosis and treatment of at an earlier stage, it is important take into account the symptom epidemiology throughout pathway, from first bodily sensation until start treatment. This has implications for how primary-care providers interpret presentation decisions around patient management investigation. Symptom consequences health-care system might best be organised. paper argues describes organisation Danish three-legged strategy in diagnosing...

The benefits from expedited diagnosis of symptomatic cancer are uncertain. We aimed to analyse the relationship between stage colorectal (CRC) and primary specialist care components diagnostic interval. identified seven independent data sets population-based studies in Scotland, England, Canada, Denmark Spain during 1997–2010 with a total 11 720 newly diagnosed CRC patients, who had initially presented symptoms physician. Data were extracted patient records, registries, audits...
