Compliance and satisfaction with deferasirox (Exjade®) compared with deferoxamine in patients with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia

Objective

The current standard option for iron chelation therapy (ICT) in transfusion-dependent patients with beta-thalassemia is deferoxamine (DFO). We aimed to compare the compliance with DFO vs. deferasirox (Exjade^®), a novel oral iron chelator, in patients with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia.

Methods

In this cross-sectional study, 220 patients from Southern Iran who were receiving DFO or Exjade^® for the last 2 years were investigated in 2012. Satisfaction, compliance, convenience, and life disturbances of the patients with ICT were evaluated. Assessments were performed at four different occasions during 1 year.

Results

According to the results, 114 patients received treatment with DFO and 106 patients were treated with Exjade^®. In comparison with the patients who were treated with DFO, those receiving Exjade^® reported a significantly higher rate of compliance and convenience (P < 0.05). However, no significant difference was observed between the two groups regarding their satisfaction (P > 0.05). In the DFO group, 44.9% of the patients reported irritation and pain at the injection site.

Conclusions

Considering higher rate of compliance and convenience with Exjade^® and the comparable efficacy of these two modalities of ICT documented in previous studies, Exjade^® can be used as a preferable choice of ICT in iron-overload patients with beta-thalassemia.     

六手操作在根管预备中的应用

目的 探讨六手操作在根管预备中的应用效果.方法 收集拟接受根管预备的患者106例,治疗完成后,记录每颗患牙的诊治时间,并由患者填写综合满意度调查表.比较采用六手操作和四手操作进行根管预备所需诊治时间及患者治疗后的综合满意度.结果 采用六手操作和四手操作进行根管预备,每颗患牙平均诊治时间分别为(44.96±12.59) min、(55.33±14.53) min,差异有统计学意义(t=3.94,P=0.0003).患者治疗后的综合满意度分别为(8.89±0.69)分和(8.31±1.16)分,差异亦有统计学意义(t=3.09,P=0.0016).结论 在根管预备中采用六手操作能显著提高医护人员的工作效率和患者的综合满意度.     

Effect of sociodemographic variables on complete denture satisfaction

PURPOSE

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of sociodemographic factors on quality of satisfaction towards denture treatment.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

One hundred subjects (filling inclusion criteria) who were wearing a denture for at least two months were enrolled and divided into five groups on the basis of sociodemographic variables (age, gender, literacy level, socio-economic and marital status). Questionnaires consisting of 38 questions (positive and negative attitude towards denture satisfaction) related to patients'' perception of clinical outcome in different domains such as mastication, appearance, speech, comfort, health, denture care and social status were scored by the subjects. Questions reflecting positive attitude were scored as 2, 1, or 0 (yes, uncertain and no, respectively) and reversely for the negative questions. Statistical analysis was done by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (α = .05).

RESULTS

Level of denture satisfaction was higher in age subgroup belonging to 45 - 65 years of age in relation to comfort, health and denture care. Female and male showed significant priority for denture treatment because of esthetic and function respectively. Level of satisfaction was statistically significant with literacy level. Upper high income group showed significantly higher level of satisfaction only in case of social status. Married group showed significantly higher satisfaction level only with comfort.

CONCLUSION

Patients'' sociodemographic variables were influential factors on denture satisfaction.     

A new philosophy for schizophrenia care

INTRODUCTION: Patients with psychotic illness are frequently dissatisfied with psychiatric services although it is unclear whether this can be explained as being due to the mental disorder itself, or to the lower quality of care received by this group of patients. We explored this issue by comparing service satisfaction from different user perspectives: patients and key relatives. METHOD: The satisfaction and needs of 52 patients with schizophrenia and 66 of their relatives were assessed using the Verona Service Satisfaction Scale (VSSS). RESULTS: Patients were generally more satisfied with services than relatives, but there was a high degree of consistency between the groups regarding the aspects of the service which they were most, and least, satisfied with. CONCLUSION: Patient satisfaction surveys can be used as reliable indicators of service quality and can highlight specific strengths and shortcomings in mental health service provision. Such surveys can be very useful to help improve the quality of care for patients and their relatives.

Elective day-case laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a formal assessment of the need for outpatient follow-up

Introduction

Elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is performed routinely as day-case surgery. Most hospital trusts have a policy of no routine postoperative outpatient follow-up although there are no formal guidelines on this. The aim of this retrospective study was to identify the incidence of complications, the degree of symptom resolution and patient satisfaction with a view to formally appraising the need for outpatient follow-up.

Methods

Patients who underwent LC in the period between February 2011 and June 2012 were contacted retrospectively by telephone. A standardised questionnaire was used to ascertain the incidence of surgical site infection (SSI), other complications, symptom resolution and patient satisfaction.

Results

A total of 211 responses were collected. The rate of SSI was 7.6% (n=16), with the only specific risk factor being smoking (p=0.027). All other complications had a combined incidence of 7% (n=15). There was complete resolution of symptoms in 64% of patients. Of the 36% of patients with residual symptoms, 45% described abdominal discomfort or pain, 41% described reflux symptoms and 14% complained of diarrhoea. Patient satisfaction was very high (96%), yet 33% of patients visited their general practitioner postoperatively in relation to their surgery.

Conclusions

Patients are highly satisfied with elective day-case LC. However, SSI is not uncommon, occurring in 1 in 13 patients. Although the majority of patients experience complete symptom resolution, a significant proportion do not. In our experience, routine outpatient follow-up is not required. Nevertheless, the lack of formal follow-up may prove a missed learning opportunity, potentially resulting in inappropriate patient selection for surgery.     

Socio-demographic and clinical correlates of subjective quality of life among Nigerian outpatients with schizophrenia

This study aimed to measure the subjective quality of life (QOL) of Nigerian outpatients with schizophrenia and to examine its socio-demographic as well as clinical determinants. A total of 313 outpatients with schizophrenia participated in the study. Data were collected on socio-demographics, outpatient clinic attendance, perceived social support, perceived satisfaction with hospital care, medication adherence, illness severity and QOL. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine the amount of variance in the QOL domain scores explained by socio-demographic and clinical variables. Employment status, perceived social support, satisfaction with outpatient care, antipsychotic medication dose, Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) scores and medication adherence had significant relationships with all the QOL domains. Average monthly allowance and outpatient clinic default were significantly associated with all QOL domains except social relationship. Socio-demographic and clinical factors explained only a modest part (29.4%) of the variance in the QOL scores. It is likely that unmeasured ‘internalised’ determinants contribute in a much larger sense to the variation in subjective QOL.
