Professor Declan Devane - IPPOSI Patient Reported Outcome Measures conference...ipposi
This document discusses the need for core outcome sets in clinical trials to address issues like inconsistency in outcomes reported across trials and differences in how outcomes are defined and measured. It notes that outcomes that are statistically significant are more likely to be fully reported, and that studies reporting positive results are more likely to be published. The document provides an example from a trial that analyzed outcomes based on astrological birth signs to illustrate "fishing for effect". It defines a core outcome set as an agreed standard set of the most important outcomes for a specific condition or treatment that includes both benefits and harms.
Introductory lecture on some epidemiological models in causal inference, including the sufficient component cause model and the potential outcomes model.

This document discusses leadership in nephrology. It begins with a brief history of nephrology and views of the kidney in ancient texts. It then discusses why leadership is important for nephrology, defining leadership as influencing others towards common goals. It describes different leadership styles and the roles of the professional leader. It addresses challenges in nephrology including declining interest, an aging population, ethical issues, costs and insufficient organs for transplantation. It concludes that nephrology faces many global, regional and local challenges and that advocacy is needed.
This study examined the effects of wage, work environment, and nurse staffing on nurse burnout, job dissatisfaction, and intent to leave using data from surveys of nurses and hospitals. The results showed that hospitals with better work environments paid nurses higher wages on average. After controlling for other factors, a better work environment significantly reduced burnout, job dissatisfaction, and intent to leave, while the effect of higher wages was less significant. Improving the work environment and staffing levels may be effective strategies for hospitals to reduce nurse turnover in addition to increasing pay.
This study aimed to assess the quality of life of 100 thalassemic children attending a hospital in Jodhpur, India. It found that 37% of children reported sometimes having difficulties with physical and psychological functioning, while 16-17% reported never or almost never facing problems. Significant associations were found between quality of life and gender, family history of thalassemia, family income, education levels, pre-transfusion hemoglobin levels, transfusion frequency, chelation therapy type. The hypothesis that socio-demographic variables are associated with quality of life was partially supported. Recommendations included conducting larger and experimental studies on this topic.
Prescription for Change: Barriers To Change In Health CareGayle Mitchell
This document discusses barriers to change in healthcare and provides a prescription for overcoming resistance to change. It identifies common causes of medication errors and barriers to organizational change, including fear of the unknown, lack of leadership and vision, and failure to engage stakeholders. The document recommends detecting barriers, recognizing influencing factors, and applying motivational theories to assist change efforts. It advocates using Six Sigma methods to standardize critical incident reporting and reduce errors, while acknowledging that technology alone is not sufficient and that human factors like culture must also be addressed. The conclusion reiterates that overcoming resistance requires clear vision, leadership, communication, and measuring progress.
This document discusses concepts for making causal inferences from epidemiological studies, including incidence and prevalence, relative risk, p-values, confidence intervals, and Bradford Hill's criteria for causation. It explains these concepts and provides examples to illustrate strengths of association, biological gradients, temporal sequence, and specificity of association. The document emphasizes that no single criterion can prove causation but they provide guidance when considering causal inferences.

Worklife balance of women doctors in coimbatoreMalathy S
This study examines the work-life balance of women doctors in Coimbatore, India. It analyzes the working conditions and factors that hinder their work-life balance. The study found that most women doctors are between 25-35 years old, married, working 8-12 hours per day. They experience stress from family responsibilities and caring for children and elderly parents. The study suggests hospitals provide more family-friendly policies like flexible schedules and vacation time to improve work-life balance for women doctors. Maintaining a work-life balance remains an ongoing challenge.
1) The study aimed to determine if a specialized treatment interruption intervention could reduce loss from treatment among rifampin-resistant tuberculosis patients in Khayelitsha, South Africa, where 30% experience loss from treatment.
2) The intervention involved a lay counselor identifying patients who interrupted treatment for 2 weeks to 2 months and providing structured support at home to identify barriers and facilitate return to care.
3) Results showed the intervention cohort had fewer treatment interruptions (26% vs 41%) and less loss from treatment at 18 months among interruptors (30% vs 72.7%), suggesting the intervention significantly reduced the risk of loss from treatment.
This document discusses measures of association used to quantify the relationship between an exposure and outcome in epidemiological studies. There are two types of measures: absolute measures, which are based on differences in disease frequency between exposed and unexposed groups, and relative measures, which are ratios of disease frequency. Common measures include risk difference, risk ratio, and odds ratio. Measures are calculated using data organized in 2x2 tables and can be interpreted as showing the strength and direction of association.
Problems in nursing, health, and socialkuldeep amin
This document outlines several key problems in conducting research in nursing, health, and social sciences. Some of the main challenges include: handling multiple variables within a single study; the difficulty of controlling external variables in natural settings; and the lack of standardized tools to measure qualitative phenomena. Additionally, qualitative research requires specific expertise that is often lacking within these disciplines. Research in these fields also has limitations due to the fallibility of approaches and the minimal ability to conduct laboratory experiments with human subjects. Overall, research within nursing, health, and social sciences poses unique difficulties compared to experimental laboratory studies.
This document discusses the advantages of physician-led hospitals and why physicians must lead in healthcare. It provides examples showing that the top-rated hospitals like Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic have been led by physicians for over 100 years. Physician leadership results in better patient outcomes, satisfaction, economic performance, and physician retention and satisfaction. Studies show physician-led hospitals score higher on quality metrics than non-clinician led hospitals. The document argues physicians possess credibility as leaders since they understand clinical practice from experience. It also discusses the challenges of physician burnout and need for training clinical leaders to succeed in today's team-based healthcare system.
This study compared the PROMIS-8a depression scale to legacy depression measures (MADRS, GDS, GDS-SF) in 304 community-dwelling older adults with varying cognitive functioning. The PROMIS-8a showed high correlations with the legacy measures and similar ability to detect depression. While the measures classified some individuals differently, the PROMIS-8a demonstrated adequate sensitivity and specificity to be used as a brief depression screening tool for older adults, including those with cognitive impairment.
Quantifying the process of empathy during crisis interventionsCraig Bryan
This study examined synchrony in voice pitch between clinicians and suicidal patients during crisis interventions to quantify the process of empathy. Analysis of audio recordings found that patient and clinician voice pitch were moderately synchronized. Synchrony correlated with higher ratings of therapeutic alliance during interventions but not risk assessments. Regulation of patient emotion by the clinician also correlated with stronger alliances, depending on the phase of treatment. The results suggest empathy and alliance are related to the mutual influence between patients and clinicians on an interpersonal, moment-to-moment level.
Relative and Attributable Risk For Graduate and Postgraduate StudentsTauseef Jawaid
This document discusses different risk measures used in epidemiology, including relative risk, odds ratio, and attributable risk. Relative risk measures the strength of association between an exposure and disease based on prospective studies. Odds ratio is used similarly in case-control studies when relative risk cannot be directly calculated. Attributable risk determines how much disease can be attributed to a specific exposure by comparing disease rates in exposed and unexposed groups. These measures provide important information for evaluating disease causation and determining potential disease prevention through reducing exposures.
This document summarizes a study on factors influencing clients' adherence to tuberculosis treatment under the Public-Private Mix Directly Observed Treatment Short-course (PPMD-DOTS) program in Cebu, Philippines. The study found that income level, quality of health services, and perceived social stigma were significant predictors of treatment adherence, with quality of health services most strongly influencing adherence. The study concluded that income and social stigma can help screen for adherence and that improving health service quality should be considered to promote adherence.
This document discusses difference-in-differences (DiD) analysis, a quasi-experimental method used to estimate treatment effects. The author notes that while widely applicable, DiD relies on strong assumptions about the counterfactual. She recommends approaches like matching on observed variables between similar populations, thoughtfully specifying regression models to adjust for confounding factors, testing for parallel pre-treatment trends under different assumptions, and considering more complex models that allow for different types of changes over time. The overall message is that DiD requires careful consideration and testing of its underlying assumptions to draw valid causal conclusions.
Laine Thomas presented information about how causal inference is being used to determine the cost/benefit of the two most common surgical surgical treatments for women - hysterectomy and myomectomy.
This is the presentation Victor Montori (KER UNIT, Healthcare Delivery Research Program, Mayo Clinic) gave at the Normalization Process Theory symposium at King's Fund, London, UK on October 22, 2010.
Compassion fatigue and burnout are significant issues for nurses that can lead to negative consequences if left unaddressed. Both result from the stress of caring for patients, though burnout has a gradual onset due to work environment stressors, while compassion fatigue occurs acutely from caring for suffering clients. Clinical manifestations are similar and include desensitization, increased medical errors, and lack of attention to detail. Hospitals can decrease these issues by improving communication, providing education on coping mechanisms, encouraging work-life balance, instituting debriefing sessions, and promoting an accepting work environment as per Jean Watson's Humanbecoming Theory.
This study aimed to compare attitudes toward research between black and non-black elderly individuals and identify factors that may influence any relationship. Researchers surveyed 542 people aged 65+ using a research attitudes questionnaire. A simple linear regression model showed black race was associated with lower scores, but adding demographic covariates like age, sex, education and finances reduced the effect of race. While race remained a statistically significant predictor of attitudes, the difference may not be meaningful. Future studies should examine how gender, education and socioeconomic status influence decisions about participating in research.

Correlation between Demographic, Socio-economic, and Cancer-Specific Factors with Quality of Life Scores among Newly-Diagnosed Cancer Patients of the Medical Oncology Clinics of the Philippine General Hospital Cancer Institute
https://www.actamedicaphilippina.org/issue/1102
1. The document discusses various types of medical research designs including observational and experimental studies.
2. Observational studies are divided into descriptive studies which aim to describe health problems without comparisons, and analytical studies which aim to identify associations between exposures and outcomes.
3. Experimental research designs involve assigning subjects to treatment or control groups randomly to evaluate new interventions while controlling for confounding factors. Randomized controlled trials are considered the gold standard for evaluating new treatments.
This document provides an overview of analytical epidemiology studies, specifically case-control studies and cohort studies. It defines the key aspects of each study type, including:
- Case-control studies are retrospective and compare exposures in cases (people with the disease/outcome) to controls (people without the disease). Basic steps include selection of cases and controls, measuring exposure, and analysis to determine odds ratios. Sources of bias include selection, information, and confounding biases.
- Cohort studies are prospective and follow groups over time to determine disease incidence. Groups are identified based on exposure status. Basic steps involve selection of study subjects, obtaining exposure data, follow-up, and analysis of relative risks. Sources of bias include
This document discusses health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and how it is measured. Some key points:
1. HRQOL assessments evaluate how medical treatments impact patients' overall well-being and ability to function, not just clinical outcomes like survival. It is a multidimensional concept.
2. Valid and reliable HRQOL instruments use standardized questions across domains to accurately capture patients' perceptions over time. Instruments must demonstrate properties like reliability, validity, and responsiveness to change.
3. Comparing HRQOL scores to appropriate comparison groups and clinically meaningful thresholds is important for interpreting results in research and clinical practice. Both general and disease-specific HRQOL instruments are used.

Resilience in physicians Texas Medical Association Wooten 2.24.2018Bill Wooten
Physician burnout is a widespread problem affecting over half of physicians. It can begin in medical school and is associated with negative consequences like medical errors, depression, and suicidal ideation. Both individual-level strategies like self-care and organization-level interventions around workload, work-life balance, and meaning are needed to promote physician well-being and resilience. Small group discussions and protected time during the workday have shown benefits in randomized controlled trials.
Physician burnout is a widespread problem affecting over half of physicians. It can begin in medical school and residency training and persist throughout a physician's career. Burnout leads to negative consequences like medical errors, impaired mental health, and lower quality of patient care. Both individual-level strategies like stress management and mindfulness as well as organizational interventions around workload, work-life balance, and promoting meaning in work can help address physician burnout. Addressing this crisis requires efforts at both the individual physician and health system levels.

A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY ANALYSING THE LEVEL OF DEPRESSION AND ITS CAUSATIVE F...amsjournal
Depression is a pathological state of the mind characterised lack of self-confidence and self-esteem. The
cause of depression is multi factorial and various physical, psychological, environmental and genetic
factors have been implicated in the causation of depression. Despite being a serious condition in all age
groups, depression is more common and significant in the geriatric population as it is associated with
significant morbidity and mortality. Various scales have been developed to assess depression of which the
Geriatric Depression Scale is most suited for elderly population. It has a long form and short form, the
latter being more appropriate for elderly patients with dementia. In our study, we aim to analyse the
prevalence of depression among elderly patients visiting the outpatient departments of a tertiary care
hospital and determine the factors influencing depression in them. The study was an Observational cross sectional
study carried out on 51 elderly patients over the age of 60 years attending the various outpatient
departments of PSG Hospital. The Geriatric Depression Scale Short form was used to determine the
prevalence of depression. A self-designed questionnaire considering various factors causing depression
was administered to determine the factors influencing depression. It was found that among 51 elders in the
age group of 60 to 80 years, 58.8% were depressed of which 54% were males and 68% were females.
Financial fears regarding future and income insufficiency were the most important factors contributing to
depression. This shows that monetary fear is a major factor resulting in depression. The most effective
strategy to combat depression is to ensure appropriate self-report. The government and other organizations
must ensure that better support, both financial and other services like healthcare are provided to the

INCIDENCE, PREVALENCE AND MORTALITY
IN VARIOUS DISEASES
ABSTRACT
The majority of studies support an excess of male to female cases. The average ratio of male
to female standardised rates is 1.35 from prevalence studies and 1.31 from incidence studies,
but the range of values is wide. This excess is seen for both multi-source and population-
based studies, but the male excess appears smaller in population-based studies. The
possibility that relative reduction of risk seen in women may be a role biological effect is
supported by data from a large cohort study of women who had their ovaries removed
surgically for gynaecological reasons.
We find disease incidence and prevalence are both higher among Americans in age groups
55-64 and 70-80 indicating that Americans suffer from higher past cumulative

1.1 Problem Statement:
More problematic are the errors that arise from the method by which the sample is chosen. A
gastroenterologist who has a special interest in various diseases may be referred patients
whose cases are unusual or difficult, the clinical course and complications of which are
atypical of the disease more generally. Such systematic errors cannot usually be measured,
and assessment therefore becomes a matter for subjective judgement.
1.2 Scope of the study
Incidence and prevalence of diseases are seen as distinct from treatment, but complementary
in a common goal of reducing the burden of mental, emotional, and behavioural disorders on
