Article Synopsis
- Older adults with moderate-to-severe lower respiratory tract infections often face hospitalization, leading to potential negative outcomes like delirium and functional decline due to factors like poor coordination in regional care and financial barriers.
- This study will evaluate a new care pathway called 'The Hague RTI Care Bridge' that aims to treat these patients outside of a hospital setting, assessing its feasibility, safety, patient satisfaction, and overall health outcomes.
- The study involves participants aged 65 and older and will compare their experiences in an outpatient care pathway against those treated in a hospital, with results published in international peer-reviewed journals.
Objective: To provide insight into the motives for hospital self-referral during office hours and the barriers deterring general practitioner (GP) consultation with a primary care request.
Setting: People who self-referred at a Daytime General Practice Cooperative (GPC) in two hospitals in The Hague, The Netherlands.
Participants: A total of 44 people who self-referred were interviewed in two hospitals.
Unlabelled: In this large population-based cohort study, variants in ESR2 were associated with increased risk of vertebral and incident fragility fracture in postmenopausal women. Interaction of ESR2 with ESR1 and IGF1 was determined and revealed a deleterious genetic combination that enhances the risk of osteoporotic fracture.
Introduction: Osteoporosis is a complex disease with strong genetic influence, but the genes involved are ill-defined.
