Abstract

General practitioners (GPs) are often the first to assess mental health difficulties after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). To determine whether GPs observed an increase in mental health difficulties one-year post-hospitalisation for ACS. Postal survey. GPs rated patients (n = 442) as having probable (GP assessed 10%) or definite (formally assessed 7%) mental health difficulties pre-hospitalisation. Post-hospitalisation the prevalence of probable cases increased significantly to 19% (OR = 4.3, 95% CI 2.1–10.2, P

Abstract

A myocardial infarction and stroke register was established in January 1987 as part of the evaluation of the Kilkenny Health Project. This is a community programme which aims to reduce risk factors for coronary heart disease. The register records acute myocardial infarction and stroke in residents of County Kilkenny and of the reference county. This will provide accurate estimates of the incidence of these diseases and of trends over time. Methods used comply with the protocol in use by the WHO MONICA Project. This will allow comparison of the incidence of coronary heart disease and stroke in this register with that in other MONICA locations, including that in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Information is obtained from sources in hospitals and the community about relevant history, symptoms and investigations. Information about deaths is also obtained from these sources, and from coroners, death registers and the Central Statistics Office. Appropriate steps are taken to ensure confidentiality of the information. Each event satisfying the MONICA diagnostic criteria for myocardial infarction and stroke is coded in accordance with the MONICA protocol, categorised and registered.

Abstract

Currently, crude morbidity and mortality rates are used to assess vascular surgical outcome. However, as a high-risk specialty, this may not be representative of quality of care. We evaluated the POSSUM score as a measure of performance in our vascular unit, and also its usefulness on an individual patient basis for predicting outcome. A total of 106 patients were prospectively scored using the vascular-POSSUM score, and mean predicted and observed morbidity and mortality were compared with one-sample t tests. Receiver operator characteristic curves were used to determine if POSSUM scores were associated with the end-points of morbidity and mortality. Predicted and observed morbidity (41 and 35.8%, respectively) were not significantly different (P = 0.066). POSSUM did, however, over-predict mortality at 9.7% compared to the observed mortality of 5.7% (P = 0.021). While the discrimination for predicting morbidity was poor, POSSUM scores were significantly associated with mortality end-points (area under ROC curve = 0.97250). POSSUM morbidity scores closely correlate with observed outcomes. Although POSSUM did over-predict mortality, high mortality scores may be useful for identifying patients at particularly high risk post-operatively. The POSSUM score is a useful adjunct to interpretation of morbidity and mortality statistics, and we would recommend its wider implementation for surgical audit.

Abstract

The Kilkenny Faculty of the Irish College of General Practitioners and the Kilkenny Health Project have established a Health Assessment Programme (HAP) to standardise the examination and recording of coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors in general practice. Criteria were agreed for classification and coding of demographic data, relevant medical history and risk behaviours. Height, weight and blood pressure are measured and venous blood sample is taken for total cholesterol estimation. The assessment is followed by appropriate counselling. The HAP was first targetted at men and women aged 40 to 49 years. During the first 16 months of the programme, 2102 assessments were carried out by 41 general practitioners, which represents 29% of the target group. Those taking part had a lower social class distribution when compared with participants in the KHP baseline survey in 1985. There were no significant differences between the two groups in smoking prevalence or in the distribution of body mass index. Median cholesterol was 5% lower in the HAP group than at the baseline survey. 16% of the HAP clients had diastolic blood pressures of 90 mm Hg or more. The HAP has demonstrated that it is feasible to measure CHD risk factors in a variety of general practice settings. The format facilitates a preventive orientation and has proved acceptable to patients.

Abstract

THE present study was designed to examine the impact of increased surveillance, and of human and U-100 insulins. on diabetic control. Forty-eight insulin dependent diabetic patients attended for consultation at a diabetes clinic monthly for 3 months. Thirty-six patients then changed to U-100 and/or human insulins while 12 patients continued their previous treatment for a further 3 months. Increased surveillance in the absence of a specific educational programme was not associated with an improvement in diabetic control. The introduction of human insulin, U-100 and U-40, was not associated with a specific trend in plasma glucose or HbA1 values; however, a modest tendency for increased requirement in short-acting insulin was suggested. At the end of 3 months of treatment with human insulin, no significant change in insulin antibody titre was observed. The introduction of U-100 insulin was not associated with any consistent change in plasma glucose levels or insulin requirement. The present study demonstrates that increased surveillance in the absence of a formal education is not associated with improved diabetic control and that human and U-100 insulins may be introduced under careful clinical supervision, without ontoward events.

Abstract

CYTOPLASMIC estradiol receptors in human mammary carcinomas correlated with total protein, nuclear estradiol receptors, progesterone receptors and CEA but not with tumour levels of estrogens or progesterone. The proportion of estaradiol receptor positive tumours decreased with increasing stage, grade and lymphocyte infiltration of the tumours. Lobular carcinomas were more frequently receptor-positive than ductal carcinomas. Patients with estradiol receptor negative tumours had a significantly worse survival than patients with estradiol receptor positive tumours.

Abstract

TWENTY patients, 9 of whom received cis-platinum, had chemotherapy induced nauea and vomiting unresponsive to conventional metoclopramide. While continuing the same cytotoxic chemotherapy regime, patients subsequently received oral lorazepam and domperidone. Significant reduction in vomiting occurred. This anti-emetic combination warrants further investigation in the control of chemotherapy induced emesis.
