Background: Presenting to primary care with fatigue is associated with a wide range of conditions, including cancer, although their relative likelihood is unknown.
Aim: To quantify associations between new-onset fatigue presentation and subsequent diagnosis of various diseases, including cancer.
Design And Setting: A cohort study of patients presenting in English primary care with new-onset fatigue during 2007-2017 (the fatigue group) compared with patients who presented without fatigue (the non-fatigue group), using Clinical Practice Research Datalink data linked to hospital episodes and national cancer registration data.
Background: Understanding the risk of cancer after the diagnosis of another condition can present opportunities for earlier diagnosis. We examined the risk of cancer diagnosis conditional on prior diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF).
Methods: Linked electronic health records were used to identify patients aged ≥18 with new-onset AF and age-sex-matched controls.
Objective: The incidence of late-onset epilepsy (LOE) is rising, and these patients may use an excess of health care resources. This study aimed to measure pre-/post-diagnostic health care use (HCU) for patients with LOE compared to controls.
Methods: This was an observational open cohort study covering years 1998-2019 using UK population-based linked primary care (Clinical Practice Research Datalink [CPRD]) and hospital (HES) electronic health records.
Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates long-COVID symptoms and diagnoses in England, focusing on their prevalence and risk factors using electronic health records of over 1.5 million individuals with confirmed COVID infections.
- - It found that 7.4% experienced long-COVID symptoms, with cough and back pain as the most common issues, while only a small fraction received formal long-COVID diagnostic codes.
- - Key risk factors identified include female sex, non-white ethnicity, obesity, and pre-existing conditions like anxiety and diabetes, helping clinicians identify at-risk individuals for better management.
