It was clear from our encoding of the free text "Diagnosis" and "Problem-at-referral" values that often many variations of the same terms were recorded.
Geostatistical analyses, based on Kulldorff statistics, will be performed to identify areas of significant overincidence or underincidence as compared with the referral incidence value, which is the global incidence in the whole area under study.
The estimates for the effects of screening colonoscopy on late-stage CRC based on analyses with information from the referral (P-values = 0.12-0.41) or procedure report (P-values = 0.23-0.26) slightlylightly more deviation from the adjudicated standard than progress notes (see Table 2).
In addition, we calculated the time from alert activation to the ICU referral and values were expressed as medians and quartiles.
The risk of colorectal cancer with anaemia was very high for the values recommended by NICE as warranting referral: a haemoglobin value of <10 g dl−1 in women equating to an 8% risk, and of <11 g dl−1 in men, a 13% risk (Hamilton et al, 2008).
The database includes event level detailed information on patient demographics (year of birth, sex, ethnicity, deprivation), medication, clinical diagnoses, referrals, clinical values (such as body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure), laboratory investigations.
The details of CEA, i.e. the number of rises and the CEA values at referral, were analyzed and showed value of PET/CT among most patients.
The new diagnoses of HTN and commencement on treatment in those that attended referrals underscores the value of having persons at the highest risk identified in the community setting and referred to a clinic for further evaluation and treatment.
