Abstract Purpose Several high-profile organizations have mandated the delivery of survivorship care plans (SCPs) despite mixed evidence regarding the effectiveness of SCPs on key survivor-level outcomes. There is a need to understand the types of survivor-level outcomes the SCPs are likely to change. Informed by existing frameworks and the literature, the objective of this study was to understand the pathways linking the receipt of a SCP...
IntroductionLead exposure is toxic to all humans and is very harmful to young children, especially 5-year-olds. Elevated blood lead levels (BLLs) in children have been associated with their daily surrounding environment. This protocol seeks to evaluate the association between environmental lead exposure and BLLs among children in day-care centres, including household and other risk factors. Methods and analysisTo achieve the objectives of the study, we adopted a cross-sectional analytical design....
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical pathways, including signs and symptoms, and symptom progression patterns preceding idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) diagnosis. Design and settingA historical cohort study was conducted using primary care patient records from the Optimum Patient Care Research Database. ParticipantsPatients included were at least 30 years, had IPF diagnosis, identified via clinical-coding and free-text records and had a consultation with a chest specialist prior to IPF diagnosis....
PurposeThe diabetic cohort (DC) was set up to study the determinants of complications in individuals with type 2 diabetes and examine the role of genetic, physiological and lifestyle factors in the development of complications in these individuals. ParticipantsA total of 14 033 adult participants with type 2 diabetes were recruited from multiple public sector polyclinics and hospital outpatient clinics in Singapore between November 2004 and November 2010. The first round of follow-up was conducted...
BackgroundTarget-specific anticancer drugs are under rapid development. Little is known, however, about the risk of administering target-specific drugs to patients who have tumours with molecular alterations or other characteristics that can make the drug ineffective or even harmful. An increasing number of randomised clinical trials (RCTs) investigating target-specific anticancer drugs include subgroup analyses based on tumour characteristics. Such subgroup analyses have the potential to be more...
Introduction and objectivesErrors are common within healthcare, especially those involving the prescribing of medications. Open disclosure is a policy stating doctors should apologise for such errors, discussing them with the harmed parties. Many junior doctors take part in open disclosure without any formal training or experience, which can lead to failure of the apology, and increased patient/family frustration. In this study, we explore the ways in which interns perceive the relationship between...
IntroductionLow anterior resection syndrome (LARS) is described as disordered bowel function after rectal resection that leads to a detriment in quality of life, and affects the majority of individuals following restorative proctectomy for rectal cancer. The management of LARS includes personalised troubleshooting and effective self-management behaviours. Thus, affected individuals need to be well informed and appropriately engaged in their own LARS management. This manuscript describes the development...
IntroductionOver 5 billion people in the world do not have access to safe, affordable surgical and anaesthesia care when needed. In order to improve health outcomes in patients with surgical conditions, both access to care and the quality of care need to be improved. A recent commission on high-quality health systems highlighted that poor-quality care is now a bigger barrier than non-utilisation of the health system for reducing mortality. AimTo carry out a systematic review to provide an evidence-based...
IntroductionReceiving a diagnosis of autism in adulthood is increasingly common for a subset of individuals who were either misdiagnosed in childhood or missed out on a diagnosis altogether. This qualitative study, coproduced with autistic people, invites late-diagnosed autistic adults to share their life histories to (1) understand better the consequences of living without a diagnosis, (2) elucidate what precipitates an autism diagnosis in mid-to-late adulthood and (3) identify the perceived impact...
ObjectiveThere is concern about long-term safety of direct oral coagulants (DOACs) in clinical practice. Our aim was to investigate whether the introduction of DOACs compared with vitamin-K antagonists in England was associated with a change in admissions for bleeding or thromboembolic complications. Setting5508 General practitioner (GP) practices in England between 2011 and 2016. ParticipantsAll GP practices in England with a registered population size of greater than 1000 that had data for...

DesignA cross-sectional survey of data-sharing policies in 2018 on journal websites and in data-sharing statements in randomised controlled trials (RCTs). SettingICMJE website; PubMed/Medline. Eligibility criteriaICMJE-member...
ObjectivesClinical guidelines support evidence-informed quality patient care. Our study explored perspectives of South African subnational health managers regarding barriers to and enablers for implementation for all available primary care guidelines. DesignWe used qualitative research methods, including semistructured, individual interviews and an interpretative perspective. Thematic content analysis was used to develop data categories and themes. SettingWe conducted research in four of nine...
IntroductionOesophagogastric cancers carry a high mortality, economic burden and rising incidence. There is a need to monitor and improve care for this disease. Pathologic information is a cornerstone of cancer diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. Few population-based studies combine pathology information and clinical outcomes. The objective of this study is to develop a clinical and pathological database of oesophagogastric cancers to study practice patterns, resource utilisation and clinical outcomes....

Impact of heavy metals on pigment accumulation in macrophage aggregates in spleens of Vardar chub was assessed. Season‐dependent changes in melanin accumulation were observed. Heavy metals exposure results in increased hemosiderin accumulation. Abstract Pigmented macrophage aggregates (MAs) are known to change under influence of various factors, such as aging, season, starvation, and/or pollution. In this study, changes in the pigment content of the MAs in the spleen of Vardar chub...
