TL;DR: Outcomes were independent of patient age, sex or stroke severity, but appeared to be better in stroke units based in a discrete ward, and there was no indication that organised stroke unit care resulted in a longer hospital stay.
Journal ArticleDOI

Peter Langhorne,Gillian S. Taylor,Gordon D Murray,Martin Dennis,Craig S. Anderson,Erik Bautz-Holter,Paola Dey,Bent Indredavik,Nancy E. Mayo,Michael Power,Helen Rodgers,Ole Morten Rønning,Anthony Rudd,Nijasri C. Suwanwela,Lotta Widen-Holmqvist,Charles D.A. Wolfe +15 more
TL;DR: Assessment of randomised trials that recruited patients with stroke in hospital to receive either conventional care or any ESD service intervention that provided rehabilitation and support in a community setting found that appropriately resourced ESD services provided for a selected group of stroke patients can reduce long-term dependency and admission to institutional care as well as shortening hospital stays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Costs and benefits of a one stop clinic compared with a dedicated breast clinic: randomised controlled trial
Paola Dey,Nigel J Bundred,Alan Gibbs,Penelope Hopwood,Andrew D Baildam,C Boggis,Marilyn James,W. Fiona Knox,Vicki Leidecker,Ciaran B J Woodman +9 more
TL;DR: One stop clinics may not be justified in terms of a reduction in short term anxiety according to the cost to the NHS and the impact on anxiety at 3 weeks and 3 months after diagnosis.
Journal Article
Implementation of RCGP guidelines for acute low back pain: a cluster randomised controlled trial.
Paola Dey,Carl W R Simpson,Stuart Collins,G Hodgson,Christopher Dowrick,A J M Simison,M J Rose +6 more
TL;DR: The management of patients presenting with low back pain to primary care was mostly unchanged by an outreach educational strategy to promote greater adherence to RCGP guidelines among GPs, but an increase in referral to physiotherapy or educational programmes followed the provision of a triage service.
Journal ArticleDOI
Promoting uptake of influenza vaccination among health care workers: a randomized controlled trial
TL;DR: In a randomized controlled trial, an intensive promotional campaign failed to increase the uptake of vaccination against influenza among health care workers.
