Quality and Safety Indicators for Care Transitions by Older Adults: A Scoping Review.

Objective: To identify quality and safety indicators routinely used to monitor, evaluate, and improve care transitions for older adults globally.

Design: A scoping literature review.

Setting And Participants: This review identified indicators used internationally to monitor and evaluate the quality and safety of care transitions by older adults.

On the inverse association between the number of QTL and the trait-specific genomic relationship of a candidate to the training set.

Background: Accuracy of genomic prediction depends on the heritability of the trait, the size of the training set, the relationship of the candidates to the training set, and the , where is the number of QTL and is the number of independently segregating chromosomal segments. Due to LD, the number of independently segregating QTL (effective QTL) can be lower than . In this paper, we show that is inversely associated with the trait-specific genomic relationship of a candidate to the training set.

Initiating or Switching to Insulin Degludec/Insulin Aspart in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes in the Philippines: Results from a Prospective, Non-interventional, Real-World Study.

Objective: Blood glucose levels of the majority of Filipino patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) remain uncontrolled. Insulin degludec/insulin aspart (IDegAsp) is a fixed-ratio co-formulation of the long-acting basal insulin degludec and the rapidacting prandial insulin aspart. The real-world ARISE (A Ryzodeg Initiation and Switch Effectiveness) study investigated clinical outcomes across six countries in people with T2D who initiated IDegAsp.

Alignment of Palliative Care Service Structure and Standards of Care for Adolescents and Young Adults with Cancer: An International Survey of Clinical Practice.

Access to timely, age-appropriate palliative care services and end-of-life communication are two standards of care for adolescents and young adults (AYAs) living with cancer where cure is uncertain or unlikely. Health professionals' capacity to facilitate these standards is critical. This study aimed to understand AYA oncology health professionals' experienced practices in, and barriers to, delivering these standards of care across palliative care and end-of-life communication in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom (UK).

A UK wide survey of general surgeons' experience of the primary repair of obstetric anal sphincter injuries.

Aim: Obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIs) are associated with devastating consequences, mainly faecal incontinence. A timely and correct repair is necessary to reduce the risk of maternal morbidity. The aim was to explore the experience and practice of on-call general surgeons in the acute repair of OASIs.
