Abstract:

Purpose: The beneficial effects of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) have been challenged in recent years and there is now a need to investigate whether current CR programmes, delivered in the context of modern cardiology, still benefit patients. Huge variability in quality of service delivery of CR in the UK and patient outcomes has consistently been reported. The aims of this thesis are to assess the extent to which programmes meet standards for the delivery of CR and ascertain whether the variation in quality of CR delivery is determined by the CR attenders’ characteristics.

Abstract:

Background: At the time of diagnosis, approximately 75% of all bladder cancers are Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancers (NMIBC) - the standard treatment for these cancers is a Transurethral Resection of the Bladder Tumour (TURBT). Although, the vast majority of these cancers are not life-threatening, they have a high risk of recurrence (and progression, particularly in higher risk NMIBC), despite the use of adjuvant intravesical chemotherapy. Consequently, patients are kept on long term cystoscopic surveillance with endoscopic removal if recurrences are detected - this impacts on patients' qual

Kidney transplantation is a lifesaving treatment for end stage kidney disease that offers considerable benefits to recipients in terms of survival and quality of life. The growing demand for transplants to treat conditions stemming from a rising prevalence of end stage renal disease, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases has to be met increasingly with donors who are older with a high incidence of comorbid conditions. Organs obtained from these higher risk donors are more likely to have either suboptimal short and long-term transplant outcomes or even fail to function altogether. Transplant cli

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is of increasing concern given the ageing population, and the associated economic and social burdens.

Consequently, there is a clear need for an understanding of the clinical outcomes that influence vision-related QoL in order to inform management strategies. The principle aim of the studies described herein was to determine the factors that predict vision-related QoL in those with AMD, over 1 year. Experimental procedures were undertake

Abstract:

High and equitable quality of care are core goals of the English National Health Service. Policy makers have experimented with various ways to improve quality, including use of financial incentives.

In October 2008 a financial incentive scheme under which quality of care was measured by process measures was introduced for 24 hospital Trusts in the North West

The Fecal Incontinence Quality of Life scale (FIQL) is a patient reported outcome measure (PROM) that is used to measure the effect that fecal incontinence has on quality of life, and has previously demonstrated high reliability and validity.

Despite its wide use, previous studies have not applied rigorous modern methods to evaluate the FIQL's psychometric properties at the item and test level.
