Download or read book Surgery and stomas in Crohn s disease written by Thordis Disa Kalman and published by Linköping University Electronic Press. This book was released on 2021-01-22 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the evolution of abdominal surgery in treatment of Crohn´s disease (CD) in the era of immunomodulatory drugs and biologicals. It concerns risk of abdominal surgery overall and sub-categories of abdominal surgery, risk of repeat surgery and factors that affect this risk, and risk of getting a stoma. Surgical recurrence is a major clinical problem as repeat procedures are more complex and expose the patients to a higher medical risk both in conjunction with surgery and afterwards. Updated information on abdominal surgery for CD will be of use when making decisions about medical vs surgical interventions. In a nationwide cohort of 21 273 patients with CD during the years 1990-2014, the cumulative incidence of abdominal surgery within five years of diagnosis decreased continuously down to 17.3% for patients diagnosed with CD during the last calendar period of study, 2009–2014. Ileocecal resection was the most common primary procedure. The incidence of colectomy was low in all calendar periods and continuously decreased. The incidence of proctectomy was very low even after decades with the disease, 3.0% for patients diagnosed 1990-1995 with a median follow-up of 21 years. Incidence of repeat abdominal surgery within five years of primary procedure decreased in the 90s down 16.0% in the 1996– 2000 period with a risk of ileocolic reresection of 4.4%. After 2000, despite introduction of biologicals in 1998, no further significant decrease in repeat surgery was observed. In a retrospective review of prospectively maintained databases at three university hospitals, the rate of surgical recurrence for 389 patients with CD who had been treated with a primary ileocecal resection between 2000-2012 was investigated. The patients were operated receiving either a temporary stoma (20%) or a primary anastomosis (80%) with a median follow-up time of 105 months. Patients selected to temporary stoma had a higher prevalence of baseline risk factors usually associated with an increased risk of recurrence such as penetrating disease behaviour. Despite this, there was no difference in long-term surgical recurrence between the one- and two-stage groups; 18% vs 16%. In a retrospective review of prospectively maintained databases at two university hospitals, the effect of smoking cessation on rate of surgical recurrence was assessed. 242 patients were included with a median follow-up of 112 months. Surgical recurrence rate for smokers vs quitters was 16/42 (38%) vs 3/31 (10%); p = 0.02; risk ratio = 3.9 despite a median time for smoking exposure after the primary procedure of three years. Among the non-smokers 28/169 (17%) had a surgical recurrence at last follow-up. 8 out of 11 smoking patients who needed a second resection went on to need a third resection. Of the patients who were free of surgical recurrence at follow-up, those who had quit smoking were significantly less likely to have been put on medical therapy compared with smokers with a risk ratio of 3.2. In an observational study of a nationwide cohort of 19 146 patients with incident CD 2002- 2013 and followed through 2017, the incidence and prevalence of stoma was investigated. The cumulative incidence of stoma formation within five years was 2.4% and remained constant from 2002 and onwards although cumulative ever-use of biologicals increased and time to start with treatment with biologicals decreased. 48% of all stomas were reversed. Ileostomies encompassed about two-thirds of all stomas and risk of stoma was higher among patients with elderly-onset CD and among patients with perianal manifestations of the disease. 28% of the patients who underwent surgery with formation of a stoma had perianal disease. 0.6% of all incident patients had a permanent stoma five years after diagnosis.

Download or read book Databases for Pharmacoepidemiological Research written by Miriam Sturkenboom and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book allows readers to gain an in-depth understanding of the role of real-world data in pharmacoepidemiology, and highlights the strengths and limitations of the respective databases with regard to pharmacoepidemiological research. Over the past decade, the increasing use of real-world data in pharmacoepidemiological research has been accompanied by a growing recognition of the value of real-world evidence in clinical and regulatory decision-making. Electronic healthcare databases allow analyses of drug and vaccine utilization in routine care after approval, as well as investigations of their comparative effectiveness and safety. They are especially useful for the identification of rare risks and rare drug exposures over long periods of time, and as such sustainably extend the basis for drug safety research. This book provides an introduction to the role of real-world data in pharmacoepidemiological research and the main developments in the last 15 years. It also offers a comprehensive overview of the general classification characteristics of databases, together with their strengths and limitations, and a detailed description of 21 individual databases, written by professionals who work with or maintain them.
Download or read book Health and Social Sectors with an Gg egg A Study of the Nordic Countries written by Nordic Council of Ministers and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2005-04-01 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nordic countries have reached a stage where the national level of development in the use of IT applications has extended to a Nordic level. This is partly a result of the Collaborative Net-work of Nordic eHealth Competence Centres, a voluntary group for experience exchange and common activities regarding ICT in healthcare. However, this Nordic co-operation needs to be strengthened and more structured, with the appropriate re-sources, legal foundation, skills and capacity, to further develop and exploit common solutions. This report is the result of a study carried out on request of the Nordic Council of Ministers, by Ministers for Social Affairs and Health. It has been carried out by the partners of the Collabora-tive Network of Nordic eHealth Competence Centres (Med-Com/Denmark, KITH/Norway, STAKES/Finland, Ministry of Health/Iceland, and Carelink/Sweden). The report describes the use of IT in health care and social services in the Nordic coun-tries. The purpose of the study is to enhance the opportunity for the Nordic countries to learn from each other and to co-operate in a larger extent.

Following the seminar and the subsequent analysis of the input from the seminar, the eHealth group has decided to establish a subgroup on eHealth standardisation.The scope of the report is limited mainly to technical standards, with some examples including semantic standards. The work of the sub group will take on both the former and the latter and will be elaborated further within the broader framework of the European Interoperability Framework in which organisational and legal standards are included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most developed countries are struggling to finance first-class health care for everyone in their community, leading to renewed emphasis on appropriate and equitable provision of health care, placing interventions that are both high in volume and expense under the microscope. This book provides readers with an understanding of the key issues that dictate the provision of total hip replacement, one of the most cost-effective procedures available within health care. A highlight of the book is its multinational and multidisciplinary approach presenting perspectives from public health, individual patients and doctors, economists and health care purchasers and managers.
