Most patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are managed in primary care. When first-line therapies for IBS ineffective, the UK National Institute Health and Care Excellence guideline suggests considering low- dose tricyclic antidepressants as second-line treatment, but their effectiveness care is unknown, they infrequently prescribed this setting.
Background Irritable bowel syndrome, characterised by abdominal pain and a change in stool form or frequency, is most often managed primary care. When first-line therapies are ineffective, National Institute for Health Care Excellence guidelines suggest considering low-dose tricyclic antidepressants as second-line treatment, but their effectiveness care unknown they infrequently prescribed general practitioners. Objective To evaluate the clinical cost-effectiveness of titrated amitriptyline...
Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can cause troublesome symptoms impacting patients’ quality of life and incur considerable health service resource use. Guidelines suggest low-dose amitriptyline for IBS as second line treatment, but this is rarely prescribed in primary care. Aim: To explore general practitioners’ (GPs) views experiences using IBS. Design Setting: Qualitative interview study with patients GPs England, nested within the ATLANTIS trial versus placebo ( ISRCTN48075063...
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional disorder that has considerable impact on patient quality of life and substantial societal health care resource costs. Current treatments are often ineffective. Tricyclic antidepressants have shown promise in secondary populations but their effectiveness primary setting remains unclear.ATLANTIS randomised, multi-centre, parallel-group, two-arm, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial low-dose amitriptyline as second-line treatment for IBS...
<h3>Introduction</h3> IBS impacts patients' quality of life and has substantial societal health care resource costs. NICE guidelines recommend considering low-dose amitriptyline if first line treatments are ineffective. However, evidence for patients in primary is unclear few GPs currently prescribe IBS. <h3>Methods</h3> NIHR HTA-funded double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, superiority trial (10–30mg participant self-titrated) adults with care. <i>Eligibility:</i> Adults ongoing...
Materials used to replace peat in growing media include wood fibre (WF), often combination with composted bark (BC), coir (CR), green compost (GC), and anaerobic digestate (AD). The physical chemical properties of these materials are relatively well characterised; however, biological less understood. Biological stability is an important factor plant performance. aim this research was identify whether dynamic respirometry methods suitable for measuring assess the effect blending two raw a...
Background Primary care clinicians see people experiencing the full range of mental health problems. Determining when symptoms reflect disorder is complex. The Four-Dimensional Symptom Questionnaire (4DSQ) uniquely distinguishes general distress from depressive and anxiety disorders. It may support diagnostic conversations targeting treatment. Aim To explore peoples’ experiences completing 4DSQ their perceptions resulting score profile across distress, depression, anxiety, physical symptoms....
