Download or read book A Nationwide Framework for Surveillance of Cardiovascular and Chronic Lung Diseases written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-08-26 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic diseases are common and costly, yet they are also among the most preventable health problems. Comprehensive and accurate disease surveillance systems are needed to implement successful efforts which will reduce the burden of chronic diseases on the U.S. population. A number of sources of surveillance data-including population surveys, cohort studies, disease registries, administrative health data, and vital statistics-contribute critical information about chronic disease. But no central surveillance system provides the information needed to analyze how chronic disease impacts the U.S. population, to identify public health priorities, or to track the progress of preventive efforts. A Nationwide Framework for Surveillance of Cardiovascular and Chronic Lung Diseases outlines a conceptual framework for building a national chronic disease surveillance system focused primarily on cardiovascular and chronic lung diseases. This system should be capable of providing data on disparities in incidence and prevalence of the diseases by race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and geographic region, along with data on disease risk factors, clinical care delivery, and functional health outcomes. This coordinated surveillance system is needed to integrate and expand existing information across the multiple levels of decision making in order to generate actionable, timely knowledge for a range of stakeholders at the local, state or regional, and national levels. The recommendations presented in A Nationwide Framework for Surveillance of Cardiovascular and Chronic Lung Diseases focus on data collection, resource allocation, monitoring activities, and implementation. The report also recommends that systems evolve along with new knowledge about emerging risk factors, advancing technologies, and new understanding of the basis for disease. This report will inform decision-making among federal health agencies, especially the Department of Health and Human Services; public health and clinical practitioners; non-governmental organizations; and policy makers, among others.

Download or read book Registries for Evaluating Patient Outcomes written by Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality/AHRQ and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This User’s Guide is intended to support the design, implementation, analysis, interpretation, and quality evaluation of registries created to increase understanding of patient outcomes. For the purposes of this guide, a patient registry is an organized system that uses observational study methods to collect uniform data (clinical and other) to evaluate specified outcomes for a population defined by a particular disease, condition, or exposure, and that serves one or more predetermined scientific, clinical, or policy purposes. A registry database is a file (or files) derived from the registry. Although registries can serve many purposes, this guide focuses on registries created for one or more of the following purposes: to describe the natural history of disease, to determine clinical effectiveness or cost-effectiveness of health care products and services, to measure or monitor safety and harm, and/or to measure quality of care. Registries are classified according to how their populations are defined. For example, product registries include patients who have been exposed to biopharmaceutical products or medical devices. Health services registries consist of patients who have had a common procedure, clinical encounter, or hospitalization. Disease or condition registries are defined by patients having the same diagnosis, such as cystic fibrosis or heart failure. The User’s Guide was created by researchers affiliated with AHRQ’s Effective Health Care Program, particularly those who participated in AHRQ’s DEcIDE (Developing Evidence to Inform Decisions About Effectiveness) program. Chapters were subject to multiple internal and external independent reviews.

Download or read book Hot Topics of Debate on Turner Syndrome Growth Puberty Cardiovascular Risks Fertility and Psychosocial Development written by Ahmet Uçar and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2019-11-27 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turner syndrome (TS) is a relatively common chromosomal disorder affecting approximately 1 in 2000 live female births. Short stature is the most common clinical presentation of the syndrome; it is observed in 80 % to 100 % of the girls with TS. Growth is stunted to a variable degree at different phases of childhood and adolescence in TS. Although there is consensus on treating growth failure as early as possible, there is ongoing research to ameliorate final height in TS girls. The co-existence of primary ovarian failure in girls with TS further complicates the management of short stature. It remains to be determined what is the best age to begin treatment for pubertal induction and/or maintenance of puberty; the best compound, dose, or protocol to induce puberty. TS patients have increased mortality and morbidity due to cardiovascular (CV) complications and multiple risk factors for ischaemic heart disease, including hypertension, insulin resistance and dyslipidaemia. The CV phenotype can be better assessed through identification of surrogate risk markers and the relationship of these markers with TS - associated traits. There are very few comprehensive studies on the dynamics of arterial tree and the associations of these dynamics with influential factors in young TS patients. Deregulated signalling within the GH-IGF1 axis may extend beyond the realm of physical stature in TS, resulting in effects on the CV system and other organ systems. Although GH deficiency is associated with CV risk, and excess of GH is also associated with increased CV risk. Because TS patients receive supraphysiological doses of GH, there may be increased risks for CV complications, although retrospective studies failed to document such an association. There are still other unknown issues in the area of TS and CV issues such as the definitions of “abnormal” aortic diameters, high blood pressure. There is scarce data regarding how we can prevent catastrophic CV events in girls and women with TS. There is a call for prospective studies regarding the pathogenesis, diagnosis and prevention of CV disease in TS.TS patients usually have psychological problems related to self-confidence and self-respect due to the high burden of health-related issues they have to cope with at different stages of life. There remains controversy on how to support them to accept their differences and empower them to take an active role in their care. This e-book intends to provide insight on hot topics of debate in TS. The e-book is subdivided into small sections to describe the content of the articles such as growth, puberty, cardiovascular issues, metabolic issues, autoimmunity, cognitive and psychosocial issues to facilitate reading. We hope it will serve as a reference tool for clinicians and researchers who are involved in the diagnosis and management of females with TS.
