Activity impairment, work productivity, health-related quality-of-life, and costs associated with uncomplicated urinary tract infection among females in Germany.

Uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTIs) represent a sizable healthcare burden with a substantial negative impact on patients' health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL). However, the HRQoL impact of uUTI from the patient perspective is under-represented in research. A cross-sectional online survey assessed activity impairment and work productivity, HRQoL, costs, and treatment satisfaction of female patients with uUTIs in the US; the current study applies this earlier methodology to Germany to provide a European perspective.

Treatment patterns and humanistic burden of malignant pleural mesothelioma in Spain.

Purpose: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive cancer with long latency and poor prognosis. The real-world treatment patterns and humanistic burden of MPM in an international cohort of patients were recently published. Spanish data are currently lacking and are reported here.

Unmet needs in uncomplicated urinary tract infection in the United States and Germany: a physician survey.

Background: Uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTIs/acute cystitis) are among the most common infections in women worldwide. There are differences in uUTI treatment guidelines between countries and understanding the needs of physicians in diverse healthcare systems is important for developing new treatments. We performed a survey of physicians in the United States (US) and Germany to understand their perceptions of, and management approaches to uUTI.

Caregivers of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma: who provides care, what care do they provide and what burden do they experience?

Purpose: There are limited data on the impact of caregiving for patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) on the caregiver. We aimed to identify the demographic characteristics of these caregivers, the caregiving activities they perform and how caregiving burden impacts their work productivity and overall activity.

Methods: This cross-sectional study collected data from caregivers of patients with MPM across France, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom January-June 2019.

Quantifying The Burden of Persistent Musculoskeletal Pain in Employees at Rolls-Royce in The United Kingdom: A Real-World Cross-Sectional Survey.

Objective: We aimed to investigate the burden of persistent musculoskeletal (MSK) pain in Rolls-Royce UK employees.

Methods: Employees with ( n = 298) and without ( n = 329) persistent MSK pain completed a cross-sectional survey. Weighted regression analyses were conducted to compare sickness absence, work ability, workplace accommodations/adaptations, and emotional well-being between these cohorts, controlling for confounders.
