Abstract Background and Aims Few studies of the impacts coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) public health measures on drug markets use patterns have used longitudinal data. We aimed to examine whether COVID‐19 were associated with increases in methamphetamine price, decreases frequency subsequent changes secondary outcomes other metropolitan Melbourne regional Victoria. Design Longitudinal analysis framework was from a cohort people who methamphetamine. Setting Victoria state, Australia....
Sepsis is a global health priority associated with high mortality. Clinical decision support systems have been developed to clinicians sepsis management. Ordering blood cultures (BCs) for suspected patients are strongly recommended by clinical guidelines. However, limited evidence exists investigating BC ordering following alerts and subsequent patient outcomes. This study aimed investigate this issue using electronic record data from an acute care hospital in Australia. Of 4,092 patients,...
Ethnographic-epidemiological (“ethno-epi”) research methodologies are increasingly being used to examine health-related issues, including the experiences of people who use drugs. However, complementary application random sampling from a well characterised cohort and qualitative data collection methods in single study has not been described. We address this gap by sharing insights implementation novel stratified technique recruit participants two large prospective observational studies drugs...
Abstract Aims This study (1) estimated changes in anxiety and depression throughout 3 years a community‐recruited cohort who use methamphetamine (2) modelled whether these were associated with patterns of or other time‐varying fixed covariates. Design, setting participants We used longitudinal analysis using data derived from surveys conducted between August 2016 March 2020, set metropolitan rural locations Victoria, Australia. Participants comprised total 849 adults regular history at...
Abstract The COVID‐19 pandemic triggered widespread socioeconomic hardship, disproportionately impacting disadvantaged populations. People who use illicit drugs are more likely to experience unemployment, homelessness, criminal justice involvement and poorer health outcomes than the general community, yet little is known about impacts of on their lives. To address this gap in literature, we conducted in‐depth interviews with 76 participants from two cohort studies people (people inject...
Quick Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) is recommended for use by the most recent international sepsis definition taskforce to identify suspected in patients outside intensive care unit (ICU) at risk of adverse outcomes. Evidence its comparative effectiveness with existing recognition tools important guide decisions about widespread implementation.To compare performance qSOFA adult pathway (ASP), a current tool widely used NSW hospitals and systemic inflammatory response...
Sepsis remains a significant global health problem. It is life-threatening, but poorly defined and recognized condition. Early recognition intervention are essential to optimize patient outcomes. Automated clinical decision support systems (CDS) may be particularly beneficial for early detection of sepsis. The aim this study was use retrospective data develop evaluate seven revised versions an electronic sepsis alert rule assess their performance in detecting cases deterioration (in-hospital...
Medications remain an important contributor to the development of acute kidney injury (AKI). This study aimed examine associations between (i) administration medications known reduce glomerular filtration rate (GFR), that is, GFR modifiers and subsequent hospital-acquired AKI; (ii) potentially medication-related AKI patient adverse outcomes.A retrospective cohort utilising electronic health record data patients admitted a tertiary hospital in Australia 2015. Timing medication was compared...
