Older adults are a major Emergency Department (ED) user group who may be especially vulnerable to the consequences of crowding and sub-optimal care. Patient experience is a critical component of high-quality ED care and has previously been conceptualised using a framework focusing on patients' needs. This study aimed to explore the experiences of older adults attending the ED in relation to the existing needs-based framework.

A wide range of healthcare professionals provide care for patients in the emergency department (ED). This study forms part of a wider exploration of the determinants of patient experience for older adults in the ED, to assist the development of a new patient-reported experience measure (PREM). Inter-professional focus groups aimed to build on findings from earlier interviews with patients conducted in the ED, by exploring professional perspectives on caring for older people in this setting.

Objective: To create the first structured surgical report form for NBL with international consensus, to permit standardized documentation of all NBL-related surgical procedures and their outcomes.

Summary Of Background Data: NBL, the most common extracranial solid malignant tumor in children, covers a wide spectrum of tumors with significant differences in anatomical localization, organ or vessel involvement, and tumor biology. Complete surgical resection of the primary tumor is an important part of NBL treatment, but maybe hazardous, prone to complications and its role in high-risk disease remains debated.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess how the extent of tumor removal by surgeons impacts survival and progression in patients with high-risk neuroblastoma in a specific clinical trial.
  • It included over 1,500 patients, highlighting that those who underwent complete macroscopic excision (CME) had significantly better event-free and overall survival rates compared to those with incomplete macroscopic resection (IME).
  • The findings suggest that achieving CME not only improves survival rates but also reduces the likelihood of local tumor progression, even after factoring in immunotherapy treatments.
