Because of this prioritized testing, identification of MDRTB transmission hotspots in communities where TB cases do not receive DST is challenging, as any observed aggregation of MDRTB may reflect systematic...

متن کاملMeasuring clinical performance using routinely collected clinical data.
Following the well-publicized problems with paediatric cardiac surgery at the Bristol Royal Infirmary, there is wide public interest in measures of hospital performance. The Kennedy report on the BRI events suggested that such measures should be meaningful to the public, case-mix-adjusted, and based on data collected as part of routine clinical care. We have found that it is possible to predict...

The validation of a computerised record linkage system for matching members of a defined cohort with routinely collected national data sources is reported for the first time. The two national sources relate to mortality and inpatient data and provide contrasting characteristics in their method of collection. The linkage system produces a group of possible matches based on identifying informatio...
