Background: Though an important component of high-quality healthcare, the routine collection of patient experience data is limited in primary care, as is the evidence for how this data is being used for quality improvement. This study used a learning health system (LHS) framework to describe how a university-affiliated community general practice is integrating patient experience data into service and quality improvement efforts, and to identify barriers and facilitators.
Methods: A co-designed qualitative case study was conducted with academic researchers and staff from a university-affiliated general practice in Australia.
We investigated the effect of center-specific variables on overall survival (OS) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Eligible were adult patients reported to DRST registry receiving first alloHCT for AML from a related or matched (>= 9/10 HLA-match) unrelated donor 2015-2021. Primary endpoint was OS at 12 months from alloHCT.

Across the Atlantic East Pacific biogeographic region, three species are common and abundant members of local mangrove communities; , , and . Biomass prediction for these species has relied on two approaches: site-specific allometries based on the idea that environmental/climatic differences between sites drive growth differences, or the use of common allometric equations based on the idea that site driven differences are minimal.

To date, no AML-exclusive, non-HSPC-expressed cell-surface target molecules for AML selective immunotherapy have been identified. Therefore, to still apply surface-directed immunotherapy in this disease setting, time-limited combined immune-targeting of AML cells and healthy HSPCs, followed by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), might be a viable therapeutic approach.

One transplant (n=241) and one non-transplant cohorts (n=239) were used to test the hypothesis that PMF patients with higher risk molecular score benefit from HSCT. A weighted propensity score was applied to balance confounding factors with the transplanted cohort as reference.
