Mean referral, post-transfer and 48-hour SOFA scores of LITU nonsurvivors were 10.7, 12.7 and 13.9, respectively (6.5, 7.7 and 7.5 for survivors).
However, in terms of rate of increase for IOP only referrals post-NICE, this was similar for both groups (×2.6 increase for OSIs and ×2.4 increase for non-OSIs).
This was coupled with a decrease in many other stated reasons for referral by the non-OSI, particularly those not including IOP, exemplified by disc-only referrals, which reduced from 15.9% (20 referrals) pre-NICE to 6.1% (12 referrals) post-NICE.
Late-stage cancer, SCLC, poor PS and referral post-2006 were associated with increased likelihood of FHA within 14 days of referral, but sex and CCI score were not (Table 2).
Test results, post-test counseling, and referral to post-test care and support services were provided by our study staff.
The delay for appointment in the first half of the study was due to the optometry referral being posted to the GP who then posted the referral with medical history to the hospital.
By Friday afternoon a decision had been made and the referral was posted.
Recruitment was boosted significantly through referrals from post secondary institutions and through building relationships with health care professionals.
However, some indication of the reasons for this is given by the trend in average length of stay for those that had been admitted during the period of pre- referral and post-referral.
Participants in the intervention group will receive a referral for post-surgery exercise therapy in primary care starting the first week after discharge.
