The majority of clinicians felt that patients experienced disproportionate fear of recurrence and were reassured by follow-up. After multivariable analysis, clinicians who participated in multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) were more likely to choose de-escalated care for both initial treatment (p = .005) and follow-up care (>5 years, p = .05). Conclusion: Clinician attitudes captured by this survey reflect recent changes in guidelines towards hemithyroidectomy for low-risk WDTC, particularly amongst MDT attendees. There is a need to further examine the impact of de-escalated care on fear of recurrence and quality of life in thyroid cancer survivors.]]> Wed 12 Jul 2023 16:24:11 AEST ]]> Otitis media and quality of life in NSW Aboriginal children https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45228 Thu 27 Oct 2022 12:21:19 AEDT ]]> Compliance with thyroid nodule ultrasound reporting guidelines in an Australian area health service https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49705 Mon 29 May 2023 13:01:01 AEST ]]>
