Diagnosed and undiagnosed cough-related stress urinary incontinence in women with refractory or unexplained chronic cough: Its impact on general health status and quality of life.

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is common in women with chronic cough but may be overlooked. To determine the frequency of underdiagnosis of cough-related SUI and its impact on women's general health status and quality of life (QoL). Data were analyzed for 147 women with refractory/unexplained chronic cough.

Basic assessment of chronic cough in primary care and referral pathways of patients to different specialists: plain language summary of publication.

People with (a cough lasting more than 8 weeks) are often referred to different specialists and undergo numerous diagnostic tests, but clear guidance is lacking. This work summarizes a consensus (an agreement) among medical specialists who are involved in managing people with : physicians (family doctors), pulmonologists (doctors who specialize in lung conditions), allergists (medical professionals specializing in allergies) and ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialists. They discussed how to perform a basic assessment of people with in (day-to-day healthcare given by a general practitioner or family doctor) and how to refer them to different specialists based on clinical findings or test results.

Early identification of golimumab-treated patients with higher likelihood of long-term retention.

Background: The early identification of patients' profiles most likely to respond to and maintain long-term therapy with a biological drug can have clinical and cost-effectiveness implications.

Objectives: To evaluate the utility of an innovative approach for early identification of patient profiles associated with long-term persistence of golimumab, a tumour necrosis factor inhibitor, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and axial spondyloarthritis (SpA) under real-world conditions.

Design: Retrospective non-interventional database analysis.
