Follow-up care needs and motivational factors for childhood cancer survivors and their parents in Germany.
Sci Rep

Department of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, University Hospital Bonn, Bonn, Germany.
This study aims to explore the long-term follow-up needs and motivations of childhood and adolescent cancer survivors and their parents to attend follow-up care in Germany, given the inconsistent adherence to national follow-up guidelines. We developed interview guidelines based on the Theory of Planned Behavior and the stereotype priming model to explore motivations and barriers related to follow-up care. We conducted a total of 36 episodic narrative interviews with adolescent (ages 13-17) and adult (ages 18-45) survivors of pediatric cancer, as well as their parents.

January 2025
Department of Neurology, LMU University Hospital, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) München, Munich, Germany.
Background And Objective: Non-motor symptoms frequently develop throughout the disease course of Parkinson's disease (PD), and pose affected individuals at risk of complications, more rapid disease progression and poorer quality of life. Addressing such symptom burden, the 2023 revised "Parkinson's disease" guideline of the German Society of Neurology aimed at providing evidence-based recommendations for managing PD non-motor symptoms, including autonomic failure, pain and sleep disturbances.
Methods: Key PICO (Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) questions were formulated by the steering committee and refined by the assigned authors.
Prevention of Stroke in Intracerebral Haemorrhage Survivors with Atrial Fibrillation: Rationale and Design for PRESTIGE-AF Trial.
Thromb Haemost
December 2024
Department of Brain Sciences, Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom.
Adequate secondary prevention in survivors of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) who also have atrial fibrillation (AF) is a long-standing clinical dilemma because these patients are at increased risk of recurrent ICH as well as of ischemic stroke. The efficacy and safety of oral anticoagulation, the standard preventive medication for ischemic stroke patients with AF, in ICH patients with AF are uncertain. PRESTIGE-AF is an international, phase 3b, multi-center, randomized, open, blinded end-point assessment (PROBE) clinical trial that compared the efficacy and safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) with no DOAC (either no antithrombotic treatment or any antiplatelet drug).
