Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to improve response rates for patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) among outpatients at a Dutch university hospital, identifying characteristics that influence patient engagement and response behavior.
- - Researchers analyzed internal hospital strategies using the COM-B model and found that while response rates improved to 56%, challenges like language barriers and effective feedback mechanisms still existed.
- - The analysis revealed that patients with higher socioeconomic status and those attending in-person consultations were more likely to complete PROMs, highlighting the need for tailored engagement strategies to promote equity in healthcare.
Background: Despite the increasing use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for collecting self-reported data among hospital outpatients, clinicians' use of these data remains suboptimal. Insight into this issue and strategies to enhance the use of PROMs are critical but limited.
Objective: This study aimed to examine clinicians' use of PROM data for value-based outpatient consultations and identify efforts to enhance their use of PROMs in a Dutch university hospital.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the use of folate receptor (FR)-targeted PET/CT imaging with [F]fluoro-PEG-folate for better preoperative assessment in advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), aiming to enhance selection for cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and reduce unnecessary procedures.
- It evaluates the safety and tolerability of [F]fluoro-PEG-folate through vital sign monitoring and adverse event recording, along with quantifying disease burden using the Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) score from imaging and surgical findings.
- The study was halted early after including eight patients, revealing that while [F]fluoro-PEG-folate was safe
The ability to narrate a life coherently develops first in adolescence, but little is known about its course across adulthood and into old age. Also, the potential association of life narrative coherence with well-being has never been studied. Our aim was to investigate lifespan development of coherence and associations with well-being using data from the longitudinal study.

Early detection of PDAC remains challenging due to the lack of early symptoms and the absence of reliable biomarkers. The aim of the present project was to identify miRNA and proteomics signatures discriminating PDAC patients with DM from nondiabetic PDAC patients. Proteomics analysis and miRNA array were used for protein and miRNA screening.
