Six different types of PCIS were being utilized by participating centers. There was no standardized way to identify Indigenous cancer patients across centers. Health service information systems, search functions and capacities of systems, and staff skill in extracting data using PCIS varied between centers. Conclusion: It is crucial to be able to easily identify Indigenous cancer patients accessing health services in the PHC setting to monitor progress, improve and evaluate care, and ultimately improve Indigenous cancer outcomes. It is also important for PHC staff to receive adequate training and support to utilize PCISs efficiently and effectively.]]> Thu 13 Jan 2022 10:28:31 AEDT ]]> Exploratory study into the unmet supportive needs of people diagnosed with cirrhosis in Queensland, Australia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34468 Thu 09 Dec 2021 11:03:47 AEDT ]]> Latitudinal variation in incidence and type of first central nervous system demyelinating events https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10630 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:13:48 AEDT ]]> Breast cancer diagnosis, patterns of care and burden of disease in Queensland, Australia (1998-2004): does being Indigenous make a difference? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30194 n = 110) and non-Indigenous women (n = 105), frequency matched on age and remoteness. We used Pearson’s Chi-squared analysis to compare proportions, hazard models to assess survival differences and calculated disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). Results: Indigenous women were more likely to be socially disadvantaged (43 vs. 20 %, p < 0.01) have comorbidity (42 vs. 18 % p < 0.01), and have regional spread or distant metastasis (metastasis, 51 vs. 36 %, p = 0.02) than non-Indigenous women; there was no difference in treatment patterns. More Indigenous women died in the follow-up period (p = 0.01). DALY’s were 469 and 665 per 100,000 for Indigenous and non-Indigenous women, respectively, with a larger proportion of the burden attributed to premature death among the former (63 vs. 59 %). Conclusions: Indigenous women with breast cancer received comparable treatment to their non-Indigenous counterparts. The higher proportion of DALYs related to early death in Indigenous women suggests higher fatality with breast cancer in this group. Later stage at diagnosis and higher comorbidity presence among Indigenous women reinforce the need for early detection and improved management of co-existing disease.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:41:31 AEDT ]]> Factors associated with cancer-specific and overall survival among indigenous and non-indigenous gynecologic cancer patients in Queensland, Australia: a matched cohort study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27568 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:23:31 AEDT ]]> Optimising care of patients with chronic disease: patient-oriented education may improve disease knowledge and self-management https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34168 Mon 18 Feb 2019 13:59:08 AEDT ]]> Medication-related problems in outpatients with decompensated cirrhosis: opportunities for harm prevention https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37550 Mon 15 Feb 2021 09:30:20 AEDT ]]> Patterns of primary health care service use of Indigenous Australians diagnosed with cancer https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46209 Mon 14 Nov 2022 11:43:52 AEDT ]]> Unmet supportive care needs among people with cancer: a cross-cultural comparison between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Australians https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42101 n = 125) and Non‐Indigenous (n = 125) Australian adults diagnosed with cancer. Descriptive statistics were used to compare type and prevalence of 24 need items measured by the SCNS‐SF34 and SCNAT‐IP. Results: A higher proportion of Non‐Indigenous participants compared to Indigenous participants reported having any moderate‐to‐high level of unmet needs (70% vs. 54%, p = 0.013) and the difference was consistently observed across non‐matched characteristics. While concerns for caregivers, fear of recurrence and pain were central needs for both Indigenous participants and Non‐Indigenous participants, there were some key differences in the specific unmet needs between groups. Physical issues including doing usual daily activities and dealing with fatigue were the top priorities for Non‐Indigenous people, while money worries, dealing with psychological issues such as how to keep their spirit strong or hope about their future appeared to be priorities for Indigenous people. Conclusions: Variations in the unmet supportive care needs between Indigenous and Non‐Indigenous people with cancer may guide health professionals to target specific needs when preparing care plans.]]> Fri 23 Jun 2023 08:45:29 AEST ]]> “I’m a survivor”: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cancer survivors’ perspectives of cancer survivorship https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53869 Fri 19 Jan 2024 12:38:22 AEDT ]]>
