Predictors of positive outcomes from ‘Early Intervention in Psychosis’
This study aims to provide valuable insights into the long-term effects of variations in EIP service delivery. The study involves a large, diverse cohort including individuals treated by every EIP service in England. While there are limitations inherent in the observational nature of the study, any associations identified will be of great relevance to clinicians, researchers, and policymakers seeking to optimize EIP care. The results will enable …
Multistate transition modelling of e-cigarette use and cigarette smoking among youth in the UK
This study found that although overall nicotine product use was relatively rare, participants were more likely to experiment with e-cigarette use than cigarette smoking. This was mostly not persistent over time; however, approximately one in seven transitioned to cigarette smoking. Regulators should aim to deter all nicotine product use among children
Stability over time of the “hospital effect” on 30-day unplanned readmissions
The J-Idea Pandemic Planner
BACKGROUND: Planning for extreme surges in demand for hospital care of patients requiring urgent life-saving treatment for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), while retaining capacity for other emergency conditions, is one of the most challenging tasks faced by health care providers and policymakers during the pandemic. Health systems must be well-prepared to cope with large and sudden changes in demand by implementing interventions to ensure ad…
Should Emergency Department Attendances be Used With or Instead of Readmission Rates as a Performance Metric
BACKGROUND: Hospital readmissions are common and are viewed as unfavorable. They are commonly used as a measure of quality of care and, in the United States and England, are associated with financial penalties. Readmissions are not the only possible return-to-acute-care metric; patients may also attend emergency departments (EDs). OBJECTIVE: To assess hospital-level return-to-acute-care metrics using statistical criteria. RESEARCH DESIGN: Patient…
Ethnic group differences in cardiovascular risk assessment scores
Ethnicity is an important CVD risk factor. Current scoring tools used in the UK produce significantly different estimates of CVD risk within ethnic groups, particularly in South Asian men. Work to accurately estimate CVD risk in ethnic minority groups is important if CVD prevention programmes are to address health inequalities
Systematic Review of Comorbidity Indices for Administrative Data
P26 Interventions to improve prescribing quality in care homes
Introduction Prescribing in the elderly population is a complex process and the prevalence of inappropriate prescribing is high, with potentially severe consequences. Care home residents are particularly vulnerable to inappropriate prescribing. With a growing ageing population, strategies to improve prescribing are essential. The aim of this systematic review was to collect and interpret the results of controlled trials of interventions to reduce…
