<h3>Objective:</h3> To evaluate the 5-year impact of stroke and TIA on utility quality-adjusted survival. <h3>Methods:</h3> patients from a UK population-based study (Oxford Vascular Study) were recruited 2002 to 2007, followed up until 2012. Quality life was assessed over 5 years using EQ-5D (EuroQol-5 Dimensions), with responses converted into utilities ranging −0.59 (worse than death) 1 (perfect health), population valuations. Utilities for compared those in matched controls obtained 2006...
The overall effectiveness of nicotine replacement therapy could be greater if the were targeted at those most likely to respond.Variants dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2 32806 C/T) have been implicated in initiation and maintenance smoking, 1 2 these variants may also related response therapy. 3Additionally, mechanisms addiction differ men women. 4 With this evidence mind, we examined whether is modified by sex genotype.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the factors associated with positive culture sample in patients endophthalmitis based on clinical presentation and multimodal intraocular sampling. Design: Retrospective review. Methods: A total 259 subjects a diagnosis presented tertiary ophthalmic referral center between 2006 2018. Patient demographics, presenting findings results aqueous vitreous sampling were analyzed. Results: Mean age 64.2 (± 22.6) years 52.9% female. Endophthalmitis...
Background: This study explores local trends in antimicrobial resistance and its influence on long-term visual outcomes following treatment with broad-spectrum empiric intravitreal antibiotics. Methods: All patients undergoing intraocular sampling for endophthalmitis from Auckland between January 2006–May 2023 were included. The impact of the final outcome was analysed using logistic regression models. Results: 389 cases included, 207 eyes (53.2%) culture positive. When tested, all...

as smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke outside the home were more prevalent in New Zealand early 1980s.This may explain apparently stronger association between household mortality 1996-9 cohort compared with 1981-4 cohort.The results from this study add weight of evidence harm caused by passive support steps reduce other people's smoke-in settings.We thank Jackie Fawcett June Atkinson for technical help data extraction analysis.

Abstract Background Epiretinal membrane (ERM) is a common finding in patients with uveitis that contributes to visual impairment. We describe the long‐term acuity (VA) and morphometric progression epiretinal (ERM). Methods Retrospective cohort study of uveitic ERM from tertiary centre database. Multivariate analysis risk factors for was calculated using marginal Cox regression model estimate hazard ratios (HR). Results Two hundred sixteen eyes (4%) total 5450 were identified have an ERM. The...
To discover whether the timing of intravitreal antibiotics, from time presentation to injection, affects visual outcomes patients with endophthalmitis all causes.A retrospective study consecutive managed at Auckland District Health Board between 1 January 2004 and July 2021.
