Patterns of adjuvant chemotherapy for stage II and III colon cancer in France and Italy

2013

European guidelines recommend adjuvant chemotherapy for stage III colon cancer but not for stage II.To determine the extent to which adjuvant chemotherapy was used in Italy and France.A common retrospective database of 2186 colon cancers diagnosed between 2003 and 2005 was analysed according to age, stage and presenting features.38.9% of patients with stage II and 64.6% with stage III received chemotherapy in Italy, 21.7% and 65.1% in France. For stage II, the association between country and chemotherapy was only significant in patients diagnosed out of emergency (ORItaly/France: 3.05 [2.12-4.37], p0.001) whereas patients diagnosed in emergency were as likely to receive chemotherapy in both…

Adherence to Medication in Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Living in Lubuskie Voivodeship in Poland: Association with Frailty Syndrome

2022

Purpose: Diabetic patients aged 65 years or older are more likely to be frail than non-diabetic older adults. Adherence to therapeutic recommendations in the elderly suffering from diabetes and co-existent frailty syndrome may prevent complications such as micro- or macroangiopathy, as well as significantly affect prevention and reversibility of frailty. The study aimed at assessing the impact of frailty syndrome (FS) on the level of adherence to medication in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes (DM2). Patients and Methods: The research was carried out among 175 DM2 patients (87; 49.71% women and 88; 50.29% men) whose average age amounted to 70.25 ± 6.7. Standardized research instr…

Monitoring Risk Factors and Improving Adherence to Therapy in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease (Smit-CKD Project): Pilot Observational Study

2022

Background Chronic kidney disease is a major public health issue, with about 13% of the general adult population and 30% of the elderly affected. Patients in the last stage of this disease have an almost uniquely high risk of death and cardiovascular events, with reduced adherence to therapy representing an additional risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Considering the increased penetration of mobile phones, a mobile app could educate patients to autonomously monitor cardiorenal risk factors. Objective With this background in mind, we developed an integrated system of a server and app with the aim of improving self-monitoring of cardiovascular and renal risk factors and…

Data from: Factors associated with first- versus second-generation long-acting antipsychotics prescribed under ordinary clinical practice in Italy

2019

Background. For many years, long-acting intramuscular (LAI) antipsychotics have been prescribed predominantly to chronic and severe patients, as a last resort when other treatments failed. Recently, a broader and earlier use of LAIs, particularly second-generation LAIs, has been emphasized. To date, few studies attempted to frame how this change in prescribing took place in real-world practice. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the clinical features of patients prescribed with LAIs, and to explore possible prescribing differences between first- and second-generations LAIs under ordinary clinical practice in Italy. Methods. The STAR Network "Depot" Study is an observational, longitudin…

Latvijas Ģimenes hiperholesterinēmijas reģistra pacientu līdzestība rekomendētajai lipīdus pazeminošai terapijai

2021

Ģimenes hiperholesterinēmija (ĢH) ir ģenētiska autosomāli dominantā ceļā pārmantojama slimība, kas būtiski ietekmē zema blīvuma lipoproteīnu holesterīna (ZBLH) katabolismu un paaugstina KSS risku, apmēram 20 reizes. Hipolipidemizējošā terapija būtiski samazina kardiovaskulāru notikumu risku pacientiem ar ĢH, tomēr neskatoties uz vadlīniju rekomendācijām un efektīvu terapiju pieejamības, daudzi pacienti nesasniedz savus lipīdu mērķus un viņiem joprojām ir augsts kardiovaskulārais risks. Līdz ar to ir būtiski jāizvērtē arī pacientu līdzestības faktors. Pētījuma mērķis: Noskaidrot Latvijas Ģimenes hiperholesterinēmijas reģistra (LĢHR) pacientu līdzestību rekomendētajai hipolipidemizējošai tera…
