Conclusion: This is the first study to quantify incident recorded postural hypotension in general practice. The rate is lower than expected compared with studies in screened older populations. Future research should investigate benefits of routine screening of postural BP using standardised measures.]]> 2022-12-23T00:24:38-08:00 info:doi/10.3399/BJGP.2022.0111 hwp:master-id:bjgp;BJGP.2022.0111 2022-08-17 Article http://bjgp.org/content/early/2022/12/22/BJGP.2022.0088.short?rss=1 10% relative difference with p-value<0.01). Results: We followed 81,420 cancer survivors and 413,547 cancer-free individuals for a median (IQR) 5.2 years (IQR 2.8-9.1) and 6.3 years (IQR 3.5-10.2) years, respectively. Including a one-year cancer survivorship variable in a QRISK3-based model met the threshold for inclusion for males (adjusted Hazard Ratio 1.16, 95% CI 1.11-1.20, p-value<0.01) but not females (1.07, 1.01-1.14, 0.02). When including cancer type, the threshold was met for both sexes with history of haematological cancer (males 1.27, 1.16-1.40, 0.01; females 1.59, 1.32-1.91, 0.01) and for males but not females with history of solid cancers (males 1.13, 1.08-1.18, <0.01; females 1.04, 0.98-1.10, 0.19). Conclusions: Developers should consider including cancer history variables in future cardiovascular risk models.]]> 2022-12-23T00:24:38-08:00 info:doi/10.3399/BJGP.2022.0088 hwp:master-id:bjgp;BJGP.2022.0088 2022-10-07 Article http://bjgp.org/content/early/2022/12/22/BJGP.2022.0118.short?rss=1 2022-12-23T00:24:38-08:00 info:doi/10.3399/BJGP.2022.0118 hwp:master-id:bjgp;BJGP.2022.0118 2022-07-22 Article http://bjgp.org/content/early/2022/12/22/BJGP.2021.0720.short?rss=1 2022-12-23T00:24:38-08:00 info:doi/10.3399/BJGP.2021.0720 hwp:master-id:bjgp;BJGP.2021.0720 2022-09-05 Article http://bjgp.org/content/early/2022/12/22/BJGP.2021.0726.short?rss=1 2022-12-23T00:24:38-08:00 info:doi/10.3399/BJGP.2021.0726 hwp:master-id:bjgp;BJGP.2021.0726 2022-10-18 Article http://bjgp.org/content/early/2022/10/21/BJGP.2022.0260.short?rss=1 2022-10-31T07:45:07-07:00 info:doi/10.3399/BJGP.2022.0260 hwp:master-id:bjgp;BJGP.2022.0260 2022-10-31 Article http://bjgp.org/content/early/2024/09/10/BJGP.2024.0179.short?rss=1 2024-09-12T02:50:22-07:00 info:doi/10.3399/BJGP.2024.0179 hwp:master-id:bjgp;BJGP.2024.0179 2024-09-12 Systematic Review http://bjgp.org/content/early/2024/09/19/BJGP.2024.0099.short?rss=1 Background Personal continuity is an important dimension of continuity of care in general practice and is associated with many benefits including a higher quality of GP care and lower mortality rate. Over time, changes in society and healthcare have challenged the provision of personal continuity. Especially older patients experience more negative consequences from receiving discontinuous care. Aim To explore perspectives of general practitioners (GPs), older patients, practice nurses, and assistants on improving personal continuity in general practice, and to identify barriers and facilitators that affect this improvement process. Design and setting A Qualitative study using focus groups was conducted from May to August 2019. Method We organised four focus groups: two with GPs (n=17), one with patients (n=7), and one with practice assistants (n=4) and nurses (n=2). Focus groups were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Results Personal continuity was viewed as being provided by the entire general practice team and not just by the own GP. To improve personal continuity, it was suggested to invest in team communication and stability (e.g., by efficient use of the EHR) and retaining availability and accessibility of the own GP (e.g., by delegating tasks). Barriers and facilitators were perceived on individual (e.g., GPs’ involvement in tasks), organisation (e.g., staff shortages) and societal level (e.g., payment system). Conclusion As general practice moves towards a more team-based approach to ensure personal continuity, efforts to improve personal continuity should focus on supporting team-based provision of continuous care.]]> 2024-09-20T06:55:47-07:00 info:doi/10.3399/BJGP.2024.0099 hwp:master-id:bjgp;BJGP.2024.0099 2024-09-20 Article http://bjgp.org/content/early/2026/05/27/BJGP.2025.0748.short?rss=1

estimated to have osteoporosis, contributing to 180 000 fractures annually in the UK, with substantial personal and economic costs, despite clinically effective treatments and national guidelines being available.AimTo use insights from the experiences of older women and primary healthcare professionals to develop strategies to improve osteoporosis care.Design and settingA community-based qualitative study in England, UK.MethodInterviews were undertaken with 30 community-dwelling older women (aged ≥70 years) diagnosed with osteoporosis and 31 healthcare professionals including GPs, physiotherapists, pharmacists, practice nurses, a healthcare assistant, and a community matron. We reviewed findings iteratively with our coproduction group using a constructivist grounded theory approach.ResultsHealthcare professionals acknowledged osteoporosis as clinically important but described limited knowledge and understanding. However, older women assumed expertise and proactive engagement from clinicians. Older women normalised symptoms as part of ageing, frequently prioritising other comorbidities. Most were unclear about their diagnosis, prognosis, or treatment plans. Self-management was expected but inadequately supported. There was little routine engagement with the wider primary care team. Digital communication further limited older women’s engagement/re-engagement.ConclusionOsteoporosis remains poorly understood and inadequately managed in older women who face barriers, including multimorbidity, digital exclusion, and low self-efficacy. Many older women accept care gaps owing to limited awareness and lack of meaningful interaction with healthcare professionals. Improved care navigation and greater involvement of the wider primary care team could enhance engagement and support better self-management.]]> 2026-10-05T09:02:09-07:00 info:doi/10.3399/BJGP.2026.0003 hwp:master-id:bjgp;BJGP.2026.0003 2026-07-02 Research http://bjgp.org/content/early/2026/10/05/BJGP.2025.0377.short?rss=1 2026-10-05T09:02:09-07:00 info:doi/10.3399/BJGP.2025.0377 hwp:master-id:bjgp;BJGP.2025.0377 2026-07-07 Research http://bjgp.org/content/early/2026/10/05/BJGP.2026.0110.short?rss=1 2026-10-05T09:02:09-07:00 info:doi/10.3399/BJGP.2026.0110 hwp:master-id:bjgp;BJGP.2026.0110 2026-06-01 Research http://bjgp.org/content/early/2026/10/05/BJGP.2025.0651.short?rss=1 2026-10-05T09:02:09-07:00 info:doi/10.3399/BJGP.2025.0651 hwp:master-id:bjgp;BJGP.2025.0651 2026-06-04 Research
