Most of this increase has come from procedures in New South Wales (441% increase). Australian PCI rate increased from 22 301 to 30 480. Rate of CABG decreased from 5418 to 5206. Conclusions: From 2007 to 2017, rates of RA trebled in Australia. This is despite stable rates of PCI and a fall in rates of CABG. There are several clinical explanations for this trend.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 09:49:42 AEDT ]]> Comparison of outcomes and analysis of risk factors for non-union in locked plating of closed periprosthetic and non-periprosthetic distal femoral fractures in a retrospective cohort study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37279 p < 0.001)). Statistical analysis between groups was used to assess the outcomes of time to union, incidence of non-union, post-operative functionality, incidence of complications, progression to revision surgery, and mortality. A secondary multivariable analysis was used to assess risk factors for non-union and factors positively associated with union. Results: There were no significant differences in outcomes between groups. Union rates were 83.8% (57/68) in the periprosthetic group and 78.9% (45/57) in the non-periprosthetic group (p = 0.648). Comminution was identified as a significant risk factor for non-union (p = 0.005). Use of a submuscular technique had a significant positive association with union (p = 0.006). Conclusions: Outcomes of surgical treatment for periprosthetic and non-periprosthetic distal femur fractures are similar. There is a significant risk of non-union in locked plating of both groups.]]> Wed 16 Sep 2020 16:58:19 AEST ]]> Relationship between very early brain structure and neuromotor, neurological and neurobehavioral function in infants born <31 weeks gestational age https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34977 Tue 28 May 2019 13:23:49 AEST ]]> An examination of the profile and journey of patients with mental illness in the emergency department https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36672 65) and diagnosis (drug related and eating disorder). Conclusion: There is limited evidence around the patient profile and journey of people who present to EDs for mental health reasons, and this study contributes to this literature.]]> Tue 23 Jun 2020 12:57:42 AEST ]]> Integration of congenital cytomegalovirus screening within a newborn hearing screening programme https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48575 P = 2/55; confidence interval = 0.44-12.53%). The cost comparison suggests the cost implementation of cCMV screening (and subsequent potential treatment benefits and management over time), compared to non-screening (and subsequent management), to be negligible. Conclusion: Incorporating cCMV testing into Universal Newborn Hearing Screening within Queensland is realistic and achievable, both practically and financially.]]> Tue 21 Mar 2023 16:55:10 AEDT ]]> Effectiveness of patient-oriented education and medication management intervention in people with decompensated cirrhosis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37694 Tue 16 Mar 2021 17:30:52 AEDT ]]> An immersive orientation program to improve medical student integration and well-being https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36873 Tue 14 Jul 2020 10:23:42 AEST ]]> Prevalence of advance care planning practices among people with chronic diseases in hospital and community settings: a retrospective medical record audit https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39502 n = 28) out of 1006 audited records, and only 10 (1%) of them were legally binding. The number of EGs appointed was 39 (3.9%) across the sites. A total of 151 (15.4%) resuscitation plans were found across the eight hospital sites. 95% (n = 144) of the resuscitation plans indicated ‘Not-for-resuscitation’. Conclusions: The uptake of ACP is very low. Current medical recording system reveals the challenges in ACP lie in the process of storage, access and execution of the ACDs. Given that having an ACD or Enduring Guardian in place is only useful if the treating physician knows how and where to access the information, it has implications for policy, information system, and healthcare professionals’ education. Trial registration: The study was retrospectively registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (Trial ID: ACTRN12618001627246).

Conclusion: PPI users have an increased risk of developing community-acquired enteric infections compared with nonusers. The heterogeneity was partially explained by type of microorganism; the association is stronger for Salmonella and Campylobacter than for all bacteria combined.]]> Fri 31 May 2019 16:52:50 AEST ]]> A systematic review and meta-analysis of locoregional treatments for in-transit melanoma https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45488 Fri 28 Oct 2022 14:57:09 AEDT ]]> Clinical foot measurements as a proxy for plantar pressure testing in people with diabetes https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53211 Fri 17 Nov 2023 11:55:31 AEDT ]]>
