Incidence and predictors of PEG placement in ALS/MND.

In the Project on Death in America ALS cohort, 121 patients were followed to examine the timing of key milestones in the course of the disease, such as tracheostomy and PEG placement. During the 2- to 4-year follow-up period, 26.5% of patients received PEG, yielding a cumulative incidence of 48%. PEG placement occurred, on average, 16 months after patients received confirmation of the diagnosis at our Center. Patients who received PEG were more likely to have tracheostomies than patients not using PEG (p<0.01). In multivariate proportional hazard models that included both sociodemographic and disease indicators, the strongest predictor of PEG use was a patient's baseline preference for PEG: 57.1% of patients "absolutely in favor" went on to have PEG, compared to only 9.3% of those "absolutely against" (p<0.01). PEG users were more likely to have initiated health care proxies. These findings suggest that patients who use PEG may be consistently proactive in the face of the disease.

Challenge of culture, conscience, and contract to general practitioners' care of their own health: qualitative study.

OBJECTIVE: To explore general practitioners' perceptions of the effects of their profession and training on their attitudes to illness in themselves and colleagues. DESIGN: Qualitative study using focus groups and in depth interviews. SETTING: Primary care in Northern Ireland. PARTICIPANTS: 27 general practitioners, including six recently appointed principals and six who also practised occupational medicine part time. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Participants' views about their own and colleagues' health. RESULTS: Participants were concerned about the current level of illness within the profession. They described their need to portray a healthy image to both patients and colleagues. This hindered acknowledgement of personal illness and engaging in health screening. Embarrassment in adopting the role of a patient and concerns about confidentiality also influenced their reactions to personal illness. Doctors' attitudes can impede their access to appropriate health care for themselves, their families, and their colleagues. A sense of conscience towards patients and colleagues and the working arrangements of the practice were cited as reasons for working through illness and expecting colleagues to do likewise. CONCLUSIONS: General practitioners perceive that their professional position and training adversely influence their attitudes to illness in themselves and their colleagues. Organisational changes within general practice, including revalidation, must take account of barriers experienced by general practitioners in accessing health care. Medical education and culture should strive to promote appropriate self care among doctors.
