TL;DR: Over 36 months, from an ophthalmology cost perspective, there was a 97% probability of selective laser trabeculoplasty as first treatment being more cost-effective than eye drops first at a willingness to pay of £20 000 per quality-adjusted life-year gained.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A centralised model of acute stroke care, in which hyperacute care is provided to all patients with stroke across an entire metropolitan area, can reduce mortality and length of hospital stay.
Journal ArticleDOI
Placental growth factor testing to assess women with suspected pre-eclampsia: a multicentre, pragmatic, stepped-wedge cluster-randomised controlled trial
Kate E. Duhig,Jenny Myers,Paul T. Seed,Jenie Sparkes,Jessica Lowe,Rachael Hunter,Andrew Shennan,Lucy C Chappell,Rachna Bahl,Gabrielle Bambridge,Sonia Barnfield,Jo Ficquet,Carolyn Gill,Joanna Girling,Kate Harding,Asma Khalil,Andrew Sharp,Nigel Simpson,Derek Tuffnell +18 more
TL;DR: The authors found that the availability of PlGF test results reduced the time to clinical confirmation of pre-eclampsia, and there was no evidence of a difference in perinatal adverse outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This feasibility study demonstrated high rates of recruitment, retention and acceptability of the intervention, and clinical effect size was moderate to large with high probability of being cost-effective.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid does not reduce adverse perinatal outcomes in women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, and its routine use for this condition should be reconsidered.
