Oral health access and self-reported outcomes in patients with chronic intestinal failure requiring home intravenous support.

Background: Patients with chronic intestinal failure (CIF) may be predisposed to poor oral health outcomes. This study explored the self-reported oral health status, function, and psychological impacts of oral health of adult patients with CIF, their access to dental care, and how these compare with the broader population.

Methods: All patients >18 years old receiving home intravenous therapies for CIF were invited to complete a self-reported questionnaire providing information on oral health status and access to oral health services.

Designing a behaviour change intervention using COM-B and the Behaviour Change Wheel: Co-designing the Healthy Gut Diet for preventing gestational diabetes.

Background: Evidence suggests that modulating the gut microbiota during pregnancy may help prevent gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The Healthy Gut Diet study is a complex behaviour change intervention co-designed with women who have a lived experience of GDM. The aim of the study was to describe the development of the behaviour change dietary intervention, the Healthy Gut Diet.

Co-designing The Healthy Gut Diet for Preventing Gestational Diabetes: Co-design methods and process outcomes.

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common and costly condition of pregnancy. The Healthy Gut Diet for Preventing Gestational Diabetes study is a novel randomised controlled trial that aims to prevent GDM through a diet that modulates the gut microbiota for pregnant women with GDM risk factors. Despite increasing interest in co-designing interventions with consumers (lived experience experts), co-design methods and outcomes are often poorly reported.

Implications of the composite free flap harvest site on quality of life after head and neck surgery: a prospective series.

Quality of life (QOL) has become a primary determinant of the treatment outcome. There is a poor evidence base regarding the QOL implications of free flap harvest from the various different osseous composite donor sites. This prospective study assessed the impact of free flap harvest on QOL and compared QOL morbidity between fibula, scapula, and iliac crest (deep circumflex iliac artery; DCIA) donor sites in head and neck reconstructive surgery.

Partnering with consumers to co-design a person-centred coding framework for qualitative patient experience data.

Background: Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) provide health organisations insight into how 'person-centric' care is. Qualitative data in PREMs surveys provide essential context about experience but are challenging to analyse at an organisational level.

Objective: To co-design a person-centred coding framework to assist in the analysis of qualitative PREMs data.
