Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an established treatment of chronic neuropathic pain. Although a temporary SCS screening trial widely used to determine whether patient should receive permanent implant, its evidence base limited. We aimed establish the clinical utility, diagnostic accuracy, and cost-effectiveness trial. A multicentre single-blind, parallel two-group randomised controlled superiority was undertaken at 3 centres in United Kingdom. Patients were 1:1 either strategy (TG) or no...
<h3>Background</h3> Breast cancer is the most common in UK. GPs are encouraged to refer all women whose symptoms may represent cancer, rather than selecting those at highest risk. <h3>Aim</h3> To identify and quantify features of breast primary care. <h3>Design setting</h3> A UK case–control study using Clinical Practice Research Database (CPRD). <h3>Method</h3> Possible were identified year before diagnosis, odds ratios calculated conditional logistic regression. Positive predictive values...

Positive predictive values (PPVs) for who consulted. <h3>Results</h3> A total 2732 aged...
Introduction Long COVID-19 is a distressing, disabling and heterogeneous syndrome often causing severe functional impairment. Predominant symptoms include fatigue, cognitive impairment (‘brain fog’), breathlessness anxiety or depression. These are amenable to rehabilitation delivered by skilled healthcare professionals, but has put strain on systems. This study aims explore whether digitally enabled, remotely supported for people with long can enable systems provide high quality care large...

There are approximately 3,000 new UK diagnoses of cervical cancer annually, with many women presenting symptomatically. We aimed to identify and quantify features in primary care a case-control study the UK. Putative were identified, odd ratios positive predictive values (PPVs) calculated. About 1,006 aged ≥40 years diagnosed 4,992 age-, sex- practice-matched controls selected from Clinical Practice Research Datalink. Median age at diagnosis was 61 (interquartile range 51-75). Seven symptoms...
Introduction Medical patients, admitted acutely to hospital, are at risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Clinical guidelines advise thromboprophylaxis prophylaxis for those high VTE. VTE is a common sequela cancer, but take little consideration cancer as an independent factor and their utility in palliative care patients unclear. The hospice inpatient deep vein thrombosis (DVT) detection study (HIDDen) reported 28% prevalence asymptomatic iliofemoral DVT poor performance status (PS)...
Abstract The effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy (ART) depends on prompt uptake treatment and a high level adherence over the long-term, yet these behaviors are suboptimal. Previous interventions have significantly improved but effect sizes generally small. aim this article is to describe design content an intervention support in HIV positive patients (SUPA intervention), utilizing cognitive behavioral motivational interviewing (MI) techniques. was developed line with Medical Research...
Dementia is a complex medical condition that poses significant challenges to healthcare systems and support services. People living with dementia (PLWD) their carers experience needs often exacerbated by social isolation in accessing support. Social prescribing (SP) seeks enable PLWD access community voluntary sector resources them address such needs. Existing research, however, does not describe what SP interventions are currently place care. Little known about the these designed address,...
<title>Abstract</title> While unstructured free-text data is abundant in electronic health records, challenges accurate and scalable information extraction often result a preference for incorporating from less specific clinical codes instead. We investigate the efficacy of modern natural language processing methods (NLP) large models (LLMs) supervised few-shot scenarios to extract features 938,150 hospital antibiotic prescriptions Oxfordshire, UK.
