Background: Continuity of care is one of the main principles of family medicine, described as a relationship with a single provider that extends beyond a single illness episode. This retrospective study, conducted at King Saud University Family Medicine Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, aimed to investigate the impact of having a regular primary care provider on clinical outcomes and preventive service delivery for patients with diabetes and/or hypertension.
Methods: The study, spanning 2017 to 2019, included 400 patients diagnosed with diabetes and/or hypertension for at least six months before the 6-month pre-attachment period to regular family medicine physicians in 2018.
Article Synopsis
- Acquired factor VII deficiency is a rare blood disorder with various causes, including tumors like myxoid pleomorphic liposarcoma, which can lead to bleeding and clotting problems.
- A case study of a 21-year-old man revealed severe FVII deficiency caused by a mediastinal tumor, with initial treatments failing due to lack of detectable inhibitors.
- After surgical removal of the tumor and FVII infusion improved his condition, the patient experienced a relapse after six months, demonstrating the need for ongoing monitoring in such patients.
