Secondary outcome measures include chest pain, quality of life, analgaesic requirements, healthcare utilisation and safety (including radiotherapy toxicity).
A survey published in 2008 showed that many European healthcare databases had enormous potential for use in paediatric drug utilisation and safety studies [ 7].
The use of electronic health records was also recommended by the EMA when conducting post-authorisation drug utilisation and safety studies [ 8].
Our findings provide evidence that the utilisation and safety of abortion-related services is increasing in Tigray, but other findings looking at hospital-level data shortly after the change in the penal code had more mixed results.
A prospective evaluation in other centres and health care systems (along with skills training for clinicians on risk communication), with larger samples of stroke clinicians and patients/relatives, to assess the utility and impact of the gamma prototype on thrombolysis rates, clinical outcomes, healthcare utilisation and safety, without compromising door-to-needle time is warranted.
An additional benefit of this project is that once the linkage keys for the study population are established, there is potential to use this infrastructure (pending appropriate ethics approval) to examine the utilisation and safety of other medications during pregnancy, simply by obtaining linked PBS records relating to additional medications.
Although a major focus of nuclear power reactor development efforts in industrialised countries is on large evolutionary units and design modifications that take maximum advantage of successful proven features and components, consideration is also given to utilisation of passive safety systems and inherent safety features.
The utilisation of perceived safety as a self-assessment measure has a potentially important practical application in healthcare.
Our evaluation of the new hardware and software reviewed aspects of patient safety, utilisation of resources and staff satisfaction by comparing operational processes before and after implementation.
Information on household composition, source of drinking water and sanitation facility, socioeconomic status, and utilisation of social safety net programmes was also collected.
