- The study focuses on shared decision making (SDM) in cancer treatment, emphasizing the importance of considering risks, benefits, and patient preferences to align care goals and reduce decision conflict.
- Researchers analyzed 211 patients' experiences after consultations about advanced cancer treatments, using various scales to measure SDM, decision self-efficacy, and decision conflict, with findings showing generally high SDM and low decision conflict among participants.
- Results indicated that female patients and those attending consultations alone were more likely to report lower SDM scores, suggesting a need for additional support in these groups to improve their involvement in decision-making processes.
Unlabelled: Policy Points A redirection of measurement in health care from a narrow focus on diseases and care processes towards assessing whole person health, as perceived by the person themself, may provide a galvanizing view of how health care can best meet the needs of people and help patients feel heard, seen, and understood by their care team.

The categories (body and mind, relationships, living environment and finances, and engagement in daily life) include nine constituent domains.

Here, we explored whether this pattern was also seen in matched fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels.
Methods: We extracted data on same-day, paired HbA1c and FPG levels from clinical biochemistry laboratory databases from Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (n = 10,153) and Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (n = 10,022) between Jan 2019 and Dec 2023.
