Little information exists on the presentation of symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) in orthopaedic surgery when a defined protocol for thromboprophylaxis is used.
Most cases are detected in apparently healthy sheep and information on the clinical presentation is limited.
While our database does not have information on the mode of presentation or surgery, previous studies report that emergency presentation comprised 26% of all colorectal cancer patients (11% of patients with Dukes A and 23% of patients with Dukes B) and have higher excess mortality compared to patients not presenting as emergencies [ 36].
There is considerable uncertainty on how best to present risk information and on whether the presentation of risk information is associated with lifestyle change or the degree of medication adherence [ 44– 44].
There is limited information in the literature on the presentation and prognosis of candidal urinary tract infection (UTI) in infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
To some extent, our recommendations seem contradictory: on the one hand we advocate to only present concise information, on the other hand we suggest the presentation of tailored information.
Trained research nurses reviewed hospital records using a standard proforma (copies available from the authors), extracting information on delays in presentation, the presence of co-morbid illnesses contributing to the Charlson Index (Charlson et al, 1987), symptoms at presentation, diagnosis in the absence of symptoms, and referral pathways.
Usual care involved standard counselling and information on the management of breech presentation from the usual antenatal care provider, an obstetrician or registrar.
These data provided valuable information on the correlations between clinical presentation, risk factors, and the two angiography procedures, which was essential for reliable imputation of covariables and outcomes in the low prevalence populations.
