Personal and organisational health literacy in the non‐specific symptom pathway for cancer
INTRODUCTION: People being investigated for cancer face a wealth of complex information. Non-specific symptom pathways (NSS) were implemented in the United Kingdom in 2017 to address the needs of patients experiencing symptoms such as weight loss, fatigue or general practitioner 'gut feeling', who did not have streamlined pathways for cancer investigation. This study aimed to explore the health literacy skills needed by patients being investigate…
Concordance of Hospital Ranks and Category Ratings Using the Current Technical Specification of US Hospital Star Ratings and Reasonable Alternative Specifications
In this cross-sectional study of data on US hospitals, CMS Hospital Compare star ratings were found to be highly sensitive to how performance ratings are calculated, demonstrating the need for transparent justification of the technical approaches used in calculating composite performance ratings
Are inequalities in cancer diagnosis through emergency presentation narrowing, widening or remaining unchanged? Longitudinal analysis of English population-based data 2006–2013
BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of cancer through emergency presentation is associated with poorer prognosis. While reductions in emergency presentations have been described, whether known sociodemographic inequalities are changing is uncertain. METHODS: We analysed 'Routes to Diagnosis' data on patients aged ≥25 years diagnosed in England during 2006-2013 with any of 33 common or rarer cancers. Using binary logistic regression we determined time-trends in…
Awareness of cervical cancer risk factors and symptoms
BACKGROUND: Lack of awareness of risk factors and symptoms for cancer may lead to late diagnosis and poor prognosis. OBJECTIVE: We assessed community awareness about cervical cancer risk factors and symptoms and perceptions about prevention and cure of cervical cancer in order to contribute data to inform interventions to improve cervical cancer survival. DESIGN: Cross-sectional population-based survey. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: We conducted this…
Do Differential Response Rates to Patient Surveys Between Organizations Lead to Unfair Performance Comparisons
BACKGROUND: Patient surveys typically have variable response rates between organizations, leading to concerns that such differences may affect the validity of performance comparisons. OBJECTIVE: To explore the size and likely sources of associations between hospital-level survey response rates and patient experience. RESEARCH DESIGN, SUBJECTS, AND MEASURES: Cross-sectional mail survey including 60 patient experience items sent to 101,771 cancer s…
Drivers of overall satisfaction with primary care
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: To determine which aspects of primary care matter most to patients, we aim to identify those aspects of patient experience that show the strongest relationship with overall satisfaction and examine the extent to which these relationships vary by socio-demographic and health characteristics. DESIGN/SETTING: Data from the 2009/10 English General Practice Patient Survey including 2,169,718 respondents registered with 8362 prim…
Common patterns of morbidity and multi-morbidity and their impact on health-related quality of life
Patients with multi-morbid diabetes, arthritis, neurological, or long-term mental health problems have significantly lower quality of life than other people. People with long-term health conditions require integrated mental and physical healthcare services
How can Health Care Organizations be Reliably Compared
BACKGROUND: Patient experience is increasingly used to assess organizational performance, for example in public reporting or pay-for-performance schemes. Conventional approaches using 95% confidence intervals are commonly used to determine required survey samples or to report performance but these may result in unreliable organizational comparisons. METHODS: We analyzed data from 2.2 million patients who responded to the English 2009 General Prac…
Public health, ethics, and equity
Edited by Sudhir Anand, Fabienne Peter, Amartya Sen. Published by Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2004, pp 316. ISBN 0-19-927637-4 The study of health and healthcare inequity is a complex subject in science. Important contributions have been made by many different scientific disciplines, including epidemiology, social science and moral philosophy—currently customarily defined as “ethics”. This book is an excellent introduction to the major curre…
Comparative levels and time trends in blood pressure, total cholesterol, Body Mass Index and smoking among Caucasian and South-Asian participants of a UK primary-care based cardiovascular risk factor …
With the exception of women's BMI, South-Asian individuals had either lower or similar levels of the examined cardiovascular risk factor levels, compared with Caucasian individuals. Although time trends in smoking were converging, other risk factors trends were similar between the two ethnic groups. Overall the findings do not support the hypothesis that the relatively high cardiovascular disease burden in UK South-Asians is due to higher levels …
Mid-term Body Mass Index increase among obese and non-obese individuals in middle life and deprivation status
In the study setting, the BMI of non-obese individuals aged 35-55 was increasing over time independently of deprivation status; among obese individuals a positive association with higher deprivation was found. The findings support that socioeconomic differences in mean BMI and obesity status are principally attained prior to 35 years of age. Efforts to tackle inequalities in mean BMI and obesity status should principally concentrate in earlier li…
