Of those, for 22 items, <80% reported the care as received. Gaps were identified in relation to GP consultation (1 item), preparation (1 item) subsequent decision making for treatment (1 item), prognosis (6 items) and post-treatment follow-up (1 item). Conclusions: Areas were identified where actual care fell short of patients' perceptions of essential care.]]> Wed 12 Jun 2024 10:07:58 AEST ]]> Acne in primary care: a cross-sectional analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48317 Tue 14 Mar 2023 15:09:52 AEDT ]]> Nurses perspectives on healthcare errors in oncology care: A cross-sectional study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41034 Tue 07 Nov 2023 12:29:36 AEDT ]]> Management of urinary tract infection by early-career general practitioners in Australia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38998 Tue 05 Apr 2022 15:19:29 AEST ]]> The impact of cancer diagnosis and treatment on employment, income, treatment decisions and financial assistance and their relationship to socioeconomic and disease factors https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25829 Thu 24 Mar 2022 11:31:19 AEDT ]]> The impact of geographic access on institutional delivery care use in low and middle-income countries: systematic review and meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33393 Thu 24 Mar 2022 11:30:34 AEDT ]]> The impact of a promised financial incentive on response to a postal survey sent to Australian general practitioners: Dataset https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37954 Thu 16 Nov 2023 12:21:57 AEDT ]]> Factors associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in sub-Saharan Africa: a systematic and meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37244 Thu 09 Dec 2021 11:03:26 AEDT ]]> Second-hand smoke levels in UK pubs and bars: do the English Public Health White Paper proposals go far enough? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10007 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:12:20 AEDT ]]> Determinants of paramedic response readiness for CBRNE threats https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10727 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:09:49 AEDT ]]> Mediation and moderation effects of health system structure and process on the quality of mental health services in Ghana - Structural equation modelling https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40749 0.05) and type of services (β = 0.025; p>0.05) had a positive moderating effect on the relationship between health system structure and outcome but were not significant.

Among underweight women, the percentage of women who gained inadequate gestational weight ranged from 67% to 98%. Only two studies were included in the meta-analyses to evaluate the association of gestational weight gain with pre-eclampsia and macrosomia. No difference was observed among women who gained inadequate and adequate gestational weight regarding experiencing pre-eclampsia (RR, 0.71; 95% CI: 0.22, 2.28, P = 0.57). Excessive gestational weight gain was not significantly associated with macrosomia compared to adequate weight gain (RR, 0.68; 95% CI: 0.38, 1.22, P = 0.20). Conclusion: A substantial proportion of sub-Saharan African women gain inadequate gestational weight particularly high among underweight women. Future interventions would need to design effective pre-pregnancy weight management strategies.]]> Fri 15 Jul 2022 10:39:18 AEST ]]> Vitamin D and folate: A reciprocal environmental association based on seasonality and genetic disposition https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42277 3R-TS. RCF was measured by chemiluminescent immunoassay and vitamin D2 and D3 by HPLC. Results: RCF and photosynthesized vitamin D3, but not RCF and dietary vitamin D2, exhibit a significant reciprocal association in spring and summer. Three folate genes (C677T-MTHFR, C1420T-SHMT, and 2R > 3R-TS) strengthen this effect in spring, and another (T401C-MTHFD) in summer. Effects are seasonal, and do not occur over the whole year. Conclusions: Findings are consistent with what might be required for the “folate-vitamin D-UV hypothesis of skin pigmentation” model. It suggests genetic influence in provision of one-carbon units by 5,10-methylene-H4folate, may be an important factor in what appears to be a clear seasonal relationship between vitamin D3 and folate status.]]> Fri 11 Aug 2023 09:43:44 AEST ]]>
