The program, was developed using freely available software, consists modules interacting with core system. module for neovascular age-related degeneration is described here.Data initial visits can be entered within 30 seconds, 15 seconds follow-up visits. Fifteen centers from...
Public concerns are commonly expressed about widening health gaps. This cohort study examines variations and trends in cancer survival by socio-economic disadvantage, geographical remoteness country of birth an Australian population over a 30-year period.
To describe the Worldwide-Schizophrenia Outpatient Health Outcomes (W-SOHO) patient population at study entry, focusing on illness burden and prescribing practices across regions.The SOHO was a 3-year, prospective, observational designed to assess costs outcomes associated with antipsychotic use in outpatients initiating or changing (with an emphasis olanzapine compared other antipsychotics). conducted 10 European countries 27 as Intercontinental (IC-SOHO). Data from all have been pooled...
✓ A new apparatus that can provide immediate intraoperative x-ray study or serial angiography is described.
Purpose.: We report the 12-month outcomes of 1140 treatment-naïve eyes with exudative age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) who were treated for 12 months intravitreal anti-VEGF drugs in routine clinical practice. Methods.: Index visit characteristics, such as lesion type and size, visual acuity (VA, Logarithm Minimal Angle Resolution [logMAR] letters), well treatments, activity status) ocular adverse events recorded a prospectively designed electronic database. characteristics...
Objective: To investigate opportunities to reduce lung cancer mortality after diagnosis of localised non-small cell (NSCLC) in New South Wales through surgical resection. Design, patients and setting: In this cohort study, resection rates risk were explored using multivariate logistic regression competing regression, respectively. Data for 3040 extracted from the NSW Central Cancer Registry diagnostic period 1 January 2003 31 December 2007. Subset analyses at low indicated outcomes under...
Abstract Objective To explore the relative association of adverse events with health‐related quality life (HRQL) in patients ( N = 16 091) schizophrenia, treated antipsychotic medication. Methods In this post hoc analysis data from two 3‐year observational studies, a mixed effects model repeated measures was used to evaluate between HRQL (EuroQoL visual analogue scale (EQ‐VAS)) and pre‐specified covariates including: severity illness, extrapyramidal symptoms, tardive dyskinesia, sexual...
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is often poorly understood, and treatment practices are variable. This 12-month, prospective, observational study provides information about the diagnosis, co-morbidities, patterns, quality of life (QOL) patients aged 6–17 years with ADHD symptoms from eastern Asia central Europe. Here, we present baseline data for 1068 enrolled eligible in (median age 8 years, 82.2% male). Patients were grouped into two cohorts based on whether they prescribed...

This study compared the safety, tolerability and switch to oral medication in patients with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia who received intramuscular (IM) olanzapine other IM antipsychotics for treatment of acute agitation.Patients (N = 2011) from 15 countries participated this prospective, observational, non-interventional study. Inpatients requiring at least one injection a short-acting antipsychotic were assessed baseline within 7 days after first injection. Treatment groups comprised:...
<h3>Aim</h3> To describe outcomes of eyes with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) subdivided by lesion activity in a large multicentre cohort study. <h3>Methods</h3> Treatment-naive subfoveal choroidal neovascularisation receiving antivascular endothelial growth factor therapy enrolled the Fight Retinal Blindness observational study were included. Lesions graded at each visit as active if there was intraretinal or subretinal fluid attributable to leak from fresh haemorrhage. Eyes...
In contrast to aetiological associations, there is little empirical evidence for generalising health service use associations from cohort studies. We compared the of study participants diagnosed with bowel or lung cancer source population people these cancers in New South Wales (NSW), Australia assess representativeness participants. Population-based registry data NSW residents aged ≥45 years at diagnosis were linked 45 and Up Study, a population-based (N~ 267,000). measured hospitalisation,...
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia have been found to poorer cancer survival than non-Aboriginal people. However, use of conventional relative analyses is limited due a lack life tables. This cohort study examined whether persist after accounting for competing risks death from other causes disparities stage at diagnosis, all cancers collectively by site. People diagnosed 2000–2008 were extracted the population-based New South Wales Cancer Registry. status was multiply...
Registries have key roles in cancer incidence, mortality and survival monitoring showing disparities across the population. Incidence began New South Wales 1972 other jurisdictions soon followed. Registry data are used to evaluate outcomes of preventive, screening, treatment support services. They shown decreases incidence following interventions been for workforce infrastructure planning. Crude markers optimal radiotherapy chemotherapy exist registry show shortfalls against these markers....
When using area-level disadvantage measures, size of geographic unit can have major effects on recorded socioeconomic cancer disparities. This study examined the extent changes in inequalities survival and distant stage when measure was based smaller Census Collection Districts (CDs) instead Statistical Local Areas (SLAs).Population-based New South Wales Cancer Registry data were used to identify cases diagnosed with primary invasive 2000-2008 (n=264,236). Logistic regression competing risk...
