When asked if depressed individuals could "snap out" of their illness, the percentages of stigmatizing attitude decreased with age (χ2 (3) = 28.17, p < 0.005).
Among adults with serious mental illness: the percentage for the unemployed was 6.6percentt, for part-time employed was 4.8percentt, and for those full-time employed was 2.7percentt.
For a patient with a non-terminal illness the percentage of respondents willing to perform euthanasia decreased to 1.1%% (p ≤ 0,05).
We investigated age, %EBW, illness duration, percentage of weight loss and EDI-2 (total or subscales) and BDI-2 total scores at admission as independent variables.
There was a nonsignificant trend for an increase in the incidence of AKI for patients with no comorbid illness (annual percentage change, 2.9%; 95% CI, -0.4 to 6.2; P = 0.08).
Though over 30% of the GPs of hospital patients indicated that they were unaware that the patient was in the terminal phase of illness, this percentage was much lower amongst hospice GPs - who reported having this knowledge in 90.2% of cases.
Self-reported serious illnesses as percentage of survey households and household members were computed.
A relatively high percentage of the children under 5 suffer from a serious illness; then the percentage decreases up to the age group of 25-44 years; beyond this age group the percentage gradually increases again to reach the highest level among those aged 65 years or more (38% for males and 45% for females).
Thus, we did not calculate the burden of illness as a percentage of GDP.
Regarding follow-up, the total illness duration, the percentage of patient reconsulting and the number of days absent from work differed per region, and region remained independently associated with these outcomes after adjusting for age, co morbidity and smoking status.
