Risk Factors Affect Long-Term Compliance to Coumadin Treatment (Self-Reporting)

2017

Abstract Low compliance to a prescribed Coumadin treatment can result in negative health outcomes. In this study we aimed to evaluate risk factors affecting patient compliance to Coumadin. For this purpose, two study phases were performed: Phase 1: a retrospective eight-year follow-up of databases from health care services; and Phase 2: a cross-sectional study with telephone interviews. A Total Compliance Index was constructed using the number of Coumadin purchases (40%), international standardised ratio (INR) tests (40%), and average INR values (20%). Multiple models for the Total Compliance Index were constructed using socio-demographic, treatment-related, and health care utilisation vari…

Airway assessment by four-phase rhinomanometry in septal surgery

2011

PURPOSE OF REVIEW This article updates the state of the art in functional ventilation tests of the nasal airway. Multidisciplinary international cooperation has led within the last years to the development of four-phase rhinomanometry (4PR) by eradicating the errors of the 'classic' rhinomanometry. RECENT FINDINGS Physical experiments, mathematical models and comprehensive statistical analyses implicate that the nasal breath consists of four phases of different diagnostic importance. Presuming the motility of the nasal entrance, it is necessary to depict the elastic behavior within the rhinomanometric curve, as well as to use new parameters for the clinical evaluation of the nasal obstructi…

Consequences of Justifications of Assessments in French Expanded Audit Reports

2018

Since 2003, French auditors must disclose justifications of assessments (JOAs) in expanded audit reports. Like critical audit matters recently introduced in the US and key audit matters introduced by international standard setters, the purpose of JOAs is to enhance the informative value of audit reports. Based on French audit reports issued from 2002 to 2011, we analyze the impact of first-time implementation of JOAs, and the impact of new JOAs in subsequent years, on investors (measured by abnormal returns and abnormal trading volume) and on the audit (measured by audit report lag, abnormal accruals, and audit fees). For both first-time implementation of JOAs and new JOAs in subsequent yea…
