Background: Risk perception (RP) is central to smokers' decision to switch to smoke-free tobacco and nicotine products (TNP). This study assessed temporal trends in the health RP of a novel heated tobacco product, , relative to cigarettes, among current users.
Methods: The analyses included repeated cross-sectional data from online surveys in Germany (2018-19), Italy (2018-19), and Japan (2016-17, 2017-18, and 2018-19) among a random sample of current adult users from local registers of users.
Purpose: Predicting feasibility of treatment in older patients with cancer is a major clinical task. The Initiative Geriatrische Hämatologie und Onkologie (IN-GHO) registry prospectively collected data on the comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA), physician's and patient's-self assessment of fitness for treatment, and the course of treatment in patients within a treatment decision aged ≥ 70 years.
Patients And Methods: The registry included 3169 patients from 93 centres and evaluated clinical course and treatment outcomes 2-3 and 6 months after initial assessment.
This was a pre-market, observational, actual use study with the Tobacco Heating System (THS), a candidate modified risk tobacco product.
