Impact of ambulatory palliative care on symptoms and service outcomes in cancer patients: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: The integration of palliative care into routine cancer care has allowed for improved symptom control, relationship building and goal setting for patients and families. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of an ambulatory palliative care clinic on improving symptom burden and service outcomes for patients with cancer.

Methods: A retrospective review of data of cancer patients who attended an ambulatory care clinic and completed the Symptom Assessment Scale between January 2015 and December 2019.

The role of methadone in cancer-induced bone pain: a retrospective cohort study.

Purpose: Cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP) can be challenging to manage in advanced cancer. The unique properties of methadone may have a role in refractory CIBP. We aimed to evaluate the analgesic effects of methadone for CIBP when other opioids are ineffective or intolerable.

Prediction of pre-eclampsia in nulliparous women using routinely collected maternal characteristics: a model development and validation study.

Background: Guidelines recommend identifying in early pregnancy women at elevated risk of pre-eclampsia. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a pre-eclampsia risk prediction model for nulliparous women attending routine antenatal care "the Western Sydney (WS) model"; and to compare its performance with the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) risk factor-list approach for classifying women as high-risk.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included all nulliparous women who gave birth in three public hospitals in the Western-Sydney-Local-Health-District, Australia 2011-2014.

The association between ethnicity and pre-eclampsia in Australia: A multicentre retrospective cohort study.

Background: Rates of pre-eclampsia vary between countries and certain ethnic groups. However, there is limited evidence about the impact of ethnicity on risk of pre-eclampsia, beyond established clinical risk factors.

Aims: To assess the association between ethnicity and pre-eclampsia in Australia's diverse multi-ethnic population.

Assessment of NICE and USPSTF guidelines for identifying women at high risk of pre-eclampsia for tailoring aspirin prophylaxis in pregnancy: An individual participant data meta-analysis.

Objective: To assess the accuracy of the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) guidelines for predicting pre-eclampsia in pregnancy to guide aspirin prophylaxis.

Study Design: We conducted an individual participant data meta-analysis using the Perinatal Antiplatelet Review of International Studies (PARIS) dataset. This dataset includes randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of antiplatelet therapy for primary prevention of pre-eclampsia conducted in international antenatal care settings.
