Reviewing the process and outcome of hospital care in Europe: the tracer method.
A method is described for reviewing and comparing the process and outcome of hospital care, which involves collecting data on a consecutive series of patients with the same medical condition. Criteria for choice of tracer condition are given, and illuminated with reference to fractured neck of femur. The method has been developed in the context of the European Collaborative Health Services Studies, and participants from five countries have been involved. It is concluded that the method is practicable and succeeds in its objectives. The role of health care managers is one of stimulus and support to doctors and nurses who might be interested in carrying out such studies, and a set of stages from the initial idea for a study, through study design and data collection to conclusions for practical change, is described.

Simultaneous heparin extracorporeal LDL precipitation and hemodialysis. First clinical experience.
Simultaneous heparin extracorporeal LDL precipitation (HELP)-dialysis was carried out at weekly intervals in six patients with end-stage renal failure, associated hyperlipidemia, and a high risk of premature atherosclerosis. Evaluating 135 single treatments, a mean acute total cholesterol/LDL reduction of 31% and 39%, respectively, was found, while clearance of urinary substances was comparable to that in regular hemodialysis treatment. Treatment tolerance was excellent and no derangements in albumin, hemodialysis parameters, or blood coagulation were detected.
