[Mobile crisis intervention and emergency psychiatry--3 years experiences].

Three years ago in Linz the crisis intervention service started to offer mobile crisis intervention during the night and on weekends. The article presents concept, organisation of the service and statistical data. Although the crisis intervention service is responsible for a region with 330,000 inhabitants the utilization of mobile crisis intervention is low.

An overview of relevant data sources in the former USSR for studies in demographic trends, aging and noncommunicable disease problems.

This article provides an overview of health data available in the former USSR. It is not all-inclusive in terms of chronic diseases covered or in details of data collection activities carried out. However, several broad conclusions can be drawn: There is a system of population and mortality data collection which covers the former USSR and which can be disaggregated to smaller administrative areas. The system is being exploited by population specialists, demographers, medical demographers and epidemiologists, both nationally and internationally, both for analytical purposes and as part of health monitoring systems. A national-level data-collection system for morbidity and disability, based on delivery of health services, is in place and is exploited by both health researchers and health planners. The shortcomings of such a health service-based statistical system are well recognized. Further standardization or calibration of measures of total and cause-specific morbidity and disability measures should be examined. A potential calibration tool is the 1988-1993 health examination and interview survey covering a representative (but highly clustered) sample of the former USSR population. The possibilities of greater standardization of measurement procedures used in this survey should also be investigated. In certain disease areas, e.g. cardiovascular diseases, cancer, rheumatic diseases and gerontology, clinical and epidemiological studies involving international collaboration have been carried out. This has resulted in the use of internationally accepted disease definitions, diagnostic procedures, and of clinical and laboratory standardization of demographic, social and biological measurements. Participation in multilateral or bilateral studies should be encouraged in research in disease areas where these types of programmes have not yet been instituted.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

[Statistical analysis of a neonatal service opened within a 2-year period].

We present a statistical study of unit 2 for newborns in Children's Hospital R. Gutiérrez, of the Buenos Aires municipality. An investigation was made which covered newborns who left the hospital from August 1976 to July 1978; during that period, 381 newborns finished their treatment. Summarizing the data assigned to death rate (22%) we could see a greater number during the first week; this tells us about the severe illness of the newborns that come into our service; we could also observe a significant mortality in newborns of high weight for their gestational age. The newborns with malformations have presented increased degree of illness and higher percentage of deaths (36%). From this review we had the idea of making a prospective study of our medical work, introducing, for a more correct evaluation, the degree of severeness when they come into the hospital and the classification of levels of high risk of the newborns.

A statistical study of factors influencing outpatient service in health districts.

This paper describes a statistical study within NHS health districts, using routinely available data, of the supply of outpatient services, the demands made on these services and the resulting balance of supply and demand. Indicators of supply have been investigated which aim to reflect the resources available within a district for outpatient services and indicators of demand have been studied which link to the number of general practitioners who are considered likely to make use of the services provided. Some preliminary analysis is attempted of relationships between the observed balance of supply and demand and the predictions based on the statistical models developed.

Evaluation of an independent, radiographer-led community diagnostic ultrasound service provided to general practitioners.

BACKGROUND: Health care services traditionally offered in a secondary setting are increasingly being offered in a primary setting. There has been little assessment of quality and efficiency of diagnostic services such as ultrasound delivered in primary settings and no studies have looked at independently provided services. AIMS: To assess the benefits and disadvantages of a radiographer delivered, primary care-based mobile diagnostic ultrasound service by comparing it to an NHS Trust diagnostic ultrasound service. DESIGN: A retrospective, comparative study. SETTING: A primary care area in the West Midlands. METHOD: Random samples of 200 and 193 adult patients who underwent diagnostic ultrasound in 2001/2002 with the community and NHS Trust services respectively, and all GP principals in the area were identified. Patient access (including wait for appointments), patient and GP satisfaction, clinical quality of services, and cost-effectiveness were assessed by postal questionnaires, interviews, review of stored ultrasound images, patient record review and collection of data on unit costs. RESULTS: Mean wait for an appointment was 17.44 (15.85-19.02) and 44.53 days (38.83-50.23) for the community and NHS Trust services respectively. Response rates from the community and hospital patient groups were 52.9 percent and 44.6 percent, respectively. Demographic characteristics of the two groups of respondents did not differ significantly, therefore justifying comparison between the two groups of respondents. High proportions of patients from both services reported time and location of appointment as convenient. Access to secondary care following an abnormal ultrasound was not systematically different for the services. Patients were highly satisfied with both services. GPs were markedly less satisfied with the NHS Trust service compared to the community service. Quality of stored ultrasound images and reports were comparable for the services. Cost per abnormality detected was higher for the community service (107.69 pound sterling compared to 77.35 pound sterling for the NHS Trust service, not statistically significant). CONCLUSION: The community diagnostic ultrasound service offers reduced waiting times compared to the NHS Trust service, and is of comparable quality. This benefit, together with high patient and GP satisfaction levels, may justify the possible reduced cost-effectiveness of the service compared to the NHS Trust service.
