Abstract Background Incomplete ascertainment of outcomes in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) is likely to bias final study results if reasons for unavailability patient data are associated with the outcome interest. The primary objective this assess potential impact loss follow-up on estimates treatment effect. secondary objectives describe, published RCTs, (1) reporting information, (2) analytic methods used handling and (3) extent reported follow-up. Methods We will conduct a systematic...
Health system accountability and the capacity to care for elderly with increasingly complex needs is a challenge across many jurisdictions. The move increasing has necessitated greater improved measurement of healthcare processes outcomes. In 2005, response by Ontario Ministry Long-Term Care was implement Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI)-Minimum Data Set (MDS) 2.0. One purpose introduction assessment tool facilitate transition new Casemix grouper associated weights. In long-term in...
The use of emergent status is believed to provide an easily auditable approach towards capturing patient acuity. Current case-mix methodologies in Ontario for the acute inpatient population make very limited patients (whether was admitted from emergency room). These tend be longer stay, and current resource utilization indicators are poor predictors patient-episode cost. average who facility room stays 3.5 days longer, costs $685 more 4 times likely die hospital than a not at that...
To estimate the cost implications of early angiography for patients with suspected non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS) using tissue Doppler imaging (TDI). A decision tree model was used to synthesise data from pilot study and literature sources. Sensitivity analyses tested impact assumptions incorporated into analysis. Emergency department (ED), Brisbane, Australia. Patients NSTEACS. TDI as a diagnostic tool triaging within 4 hours presentation in addition conventional risk...
Introduction: Healthcare professionals often provide substandard chest compression following cardiac arrest. This is deemed a preventable harm because this skill can be acquired. The recent development of technology-enhanced training devices provides an alternative to traditional instructor-facilitated training. pilot study compared the effectiveness conventional and modalities.Methods: A randomised controlled trial design was used in regional hospital Queensland. Following baseline...
