An essential medicines list in Ireland
BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization recommends each country develop a national essential medicines list (NEML), prioritising a core medicines set aligned with national health needs. Policy in Ireland partly focusses on prescribing costs and quality, which creates opportunities for NEML development. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to explore interest-holders' perspectives on an Irish NEML. METHODS: We applied a descriptive qualitative methodology. Using…
Commercial influences on patient and public involvement
Patient and public involvement is increasingly advocated in health policy, research and practice. Patients and people with lived experience, carers and the general public should have a say in how policy is generated, how services are delivered and how research is conducted. Through this perspective article, we hope to stimulate discussion and debate around industry influence in patient and public involvement, specifically pertaining to patient or…
Payments reported by the pharmaceutical industry in Ireland from 2015 to 2019
BACKGROUND: The pharmaceutical industry makes large numbers of payments to healthcare organisations (HCOs) and healthcare professionals (HCPs). Ireland has a large pharmaceutical industry presence and national debate on legislating for greater industry payment transparency. This study characterises payments in Ireland to HCPs and HCOs during 2015-2019, and the content, consistency and methodology of the data source. METHODS: An observational stud…
Life Course Transitions and Changes in Alcohol Consumption Among Older Irish Adults
Objective: The objective of this study was to determine whether trajectories of older adults' alcohol consumption are influenced by the following life course transitions, relationship status, employment status, and self-rated health. Method: Volume and frequency of drinking were harmonized across first three waves of The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA; N = 4,295). Multilevel regression models were used to model frequency, average weekl…
Does the EQ-5D capture the effects of physical and mental health status on life satisfaction among older people? A path analysis approach
A Prospective Cohort Study of Alcohol Exposure in Early and Late Pregnancy within an Urban Population in Ireland
Most studies of alcohol consumption in pregnancy have looked at one time point only, often relying on recall. The aim of this longitudinal study was to determine whether alcohol consumption changes in early and late pregnancy and whether this affects perinatal outcomes. We performed a prospective cohort study, conducted from November 2010 to December 2011 at a teaching hospital in the Republic of Ireland. Of the 907 women with a singleton pregnan…
Risk Prediction Models to Predict Emergency Hospital Admission in Community-dwelling Adults
BACKGROUND: Risk prediction models have been developed to identify those at increased risk for emergency admissions, which could facilitate targeted interventions in primary care to prevent these events. OBJECTIVE: Systematic review of validated risk prediction models for predicting emergency hospital admissions in community-dwelling adults. METHODS: A systematic literature review and narrative analysis was conducted. Inclusion criteria were as f…
Small Bang? The Impact of Divorce Legislation on Marital Breakdown in Ireland
A substantial academic literature has grown up on whether liberalization of the law on divorce in western countries helped cause an increase in marital breakdown, with the weight of evidence now seeming to suggest that it did. The introduction of divorce in Ireland in 1997 is usually thought of as a typical, though delayed, example of this pattern. This article queries this interpretation and suggests that the advent of divorce had limited legal …
Diagnostic accuracy of clinical tests for subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS)
Background Shoulder complaints are the third most common cause of musculoskeletal problems. Subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) is the most frequent cause of shoulder pain. SIS is a clinical syndrome that indicates pain and pathology relating to the subacromial bursa and rotator cuff tendons within the subacromial space. Objective The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to examine the diagnostic accuracy of clinical tests for di…
Predicting risk of stroke following TIA
Introduction Stroke is a leading cause of death and acquired disability in every society in which it has been studied. Stroke and transient ischaemic attack (TIA) arise from identical aetiologies and a number of studies have demonstrated that TIAs carry a significant risk of stroke. Several independent predictors of stroke have been incorporated into models such as the ABCD 2 clinical prediction rule, which is used to predict risk of stroke follo…
P25 Antibiotic prescribing in Irish children receiving free medical care
Objective High rates of antibiotic prescribing are an increasing worldwide concern, in terms of increased antimicrobial resistance and associated burden to health services. However, there remains a lack of paediatric population-based pharmacoepidemiological research. The aim of the current study is to determine trends in systemic antibiotic prescribing in Irish children. Design Retrospective analysis of routinely collected data. Participants Data…
Comparison of self-reported health & healthcare utilisation between asylum seekers and refugees
Asylum seekers have a higher level of self reported PTSD and depression/anxiety symptoms compared to refugees. However, residence status appears to act as a marker for post migration stressors. Compared to refugees, asylum seekers utilise GP services more often, but not mental health services
Decision‐making about mode of delivery after previous caesarean section
Objective To develop and pilot two computer‐based decision aids to assist women with decision‐making about mode of delivery after a previous caesarean section (CS), which could then be evaluated in a randomized‐controlled trial. Background Women with a previous CS are faced with a decision between repeat elective CS and vaginal birth after caesarean. Research has shown that women may benefit from access to comprehensive information about the risk…
Differences between injectors and non-injectors, and a high prevalence of benzodiazepines among drug related deaths in Scotland 2003
Drug related deaths (DRDs) have been increasing in Scotland over at least the past decade. This study aimed to describe the characteristics (gender, age, ICD10 cause of death), toxicology and circumstances of all Scotland's DRDs in 2003 to help inform a national overdose prevention strategy. Coronial files for 300/317 (95%) DRDs registered with the General Register Office for Scotland (GROS) in 2003 were examined retrospectively (in 2004). Charac…
The Case for an EU-wide Measure of Poverty
Income poverty in the European Union (EU) is normally measured with reference to income thresholds defined at the level of each Member State, independently of any consideration of inequalities in income between Member States. This approach has come under strain as a consequence of the recent enlargement of the EU: income differences between Member States are now so wide that what is defined as the poverty threshold in the richer Member States wou…

Management of menorrhagia in primary care—impact on referral and hysterectomy
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the management of menorrhagia in primary care and its impact on referral and hysterectomy rates. DESIGN: Prospective observational study. SETTING: 11 general practices from the Somerset Morbidity Project. SUBJECTS: 885 women consulting their general practitioner with menorrhagia over four years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Proportions of these women investigated and treated with drugs in primary care, referred to a gynaecolog…
