Abstract:

Background: Glaucoma is a chronic, progressive eye disease and the second cause of blindness in the world. To measure the patients’ perspective in randomised controlled trials (RCTs), patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are increasingly being used. However, the use of PROMs in glaucoma trials is low suggesting there may be a reluctance to use PROMs. Objectives: To explore three methodological challenges of using PROMs in RCTs in glaucoma: 1) PROM selection; 2) characterising glaucoma severity; and 3) interpreting PROM scores in terms of minimal important difference (MID). Methods: Vision

Abstract:

Royal Perth Hospital is the largest hospital in Western Australia and also has the largest intensive care unit (ICU) in the State. It was the first public hospital to provide intensive care services in Western Australia. This thesis examines the intermediateand long-term outcomes of patients admitted to the Royal Perth Hospital ICU between 1987 and 2002. Intermediate-term survival, defined as survival after discharge from hospital to one year and long-term survival, that exceeding one year after discharge, are important outcomes. Information on outcomes can be used by ICU staff in discussions

Abstract:

To identify those with kidney disease early and thus facilitate earlier instigation of disease-progression slowing treatments, new definitions of chronic kidney disease (CKD) were introduced in 2002 (KDOQI). After this, the worldwide introduction of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reporting (2006 onwards), also facilitated more widespread identification of those with CKD. Prognosis in those with CKD identified in this way was not known and the numbers with CKD appeared higher than originally expected.

Ett anhörigstöd som har utarbetats för att underlätta insatsbehovet är COAT- Carers Outcome Agreement Tool som syftar till att kartlägga anhörigas behov, planera och följa upp anhörigstöd. COAT har en grund i partnerskapsmodellen och i modellen ses den anhörige som experten på situationen runt den närstående. De studier som är gjorda med anhöriga har mycket positiva resultat.

Abstract:

[Truncated abstract] Physical healthcare uses a suite of tools for measuring response to treatment. However, reliable systems of regular patient monitoring are rare in mental healthcare. Mental health services often measure a treatment response from pre- to post- therapy, yet measurement between those occasions is less common. This omission is problematic since arguably there is a need for an alarm system in psychotherapy (Andrews & Page, 2005). A substantial minority of patients do not experience reliable change following treatment, and a small proportion deteriorates (Hansen, Lambert, & Form

Now more than ever, speech clinicians are being required to justify the effectiveness of their work by showing results. There are different ways to measure outcomes. For example, outcomes may be measured by testing to determine if change has occurred regarding clinical goals, or by comparing the cost of the treatment to the benefit of the treatment to determine if the treatment was economically sound. Another type of measure is subjective outcomes, such as client satisfaction. Subjective outcomes are difficult to define and measure and few studies of this type have been reported in the literat

This thesis examines philosophical controversies surrounding the evaluation of medical treatments, with a focus on the evidential roles of randomised trials and mechanisms in Evidence-Based Medicine. Current 'best practice' usually involves excluding non-randomised trial evidence from systematic reviews in cases where randomised trials are available for inclusion in the reviews. The first paper challenges this practice and evaluates whether adding of evidence from non-randomised trials might improve the quality and precision of some systematic reviews.
