Aims, Objectives and BackgroundAttendances at emergency departments in England continue to increase above the capacity of the urgent and emergency care system. There is significant variability in the rates of attendance at emergency departments across different localities. The aim of this study is to model the association of deprivation and non-urgent attendances with locality-based emergency department attendance rates. The secondary aim is to create an interactive data visualisation tool to engage stakeholders, clinicians, and the public with the research.Method and DesignWe undertook a retrospective, observational study using routinely collected emergency department attendance data from Yorkshire and the Humber (population 5.4 million) between January 2013 and March 2017. We calculated average annual age and sex standardised attendance rates at emergency departments for small localities known as lower layer super output areas.The association between emergency department attendance rates, deprivation and non-urgent attendances was examined using multivariable linear and logistic regression models, which were adjusted for travel time to the nearest emergency department.The data was visualised to create an interactive choropleth map using R.Abstract 1502 Figure 1Screenshot of interactive data visualisation tool showing age and sex standardised annual emergency department attendance rates in Yorkshire and the HumberResults and ConclusionThe analytical sample included 6,389,383 attendances across 2,880 localities, with a median age and sex standardised annual emergency department attendance rate of 308 per 1000 population (interquartile range 130).The fully adjusted linear regression model was significant (Adjusted R2 = 0.648, F (7, 2872)=757, p<0.001 ). Higher locality-based emergency department attendance rates were significantly predicted by each increasing decile of deprivation (β =14.8, p=0.002), each minute less of travel time to the emergency department (β = 7.86, p<0.001) and each percent greater proportion of low acuity attendances (β = 8.61, p<0.001).A large proportion of the variability in emergency department attendance rates in different geographical areas can be explained by deprivation levels and proportion of non-urgent attendances. This provides an opportunity for targeted interventions to reduce emergency department attendances.

Background: ATKT students attend community medicine lectures irregularly during their II MBBS university examinations and during other periods also. This study attempts to explore whether the attendances of ATKT students varied significantly, statistically from the attendances of regular students.Methods: This study was conducted at ACPM Medical College, Dhule, Maharashtra between 1 April 2016 to 15 October 2016. The author took the attendances of students carefully and meticulously for all lectures. He took the attendance of lectures of other faculties also with due respect and permission.Results: There were total 93 students in which 63 students were regular and 30 students were ATKT. During the study period a total of 83 lectures were conducted. Mean attendance of regular students was 58.6 while the same (mean attendance) of ATKT students was 24.4.The author applied ‘standard error of difference between two proportions’ test to compare the two groups. The attendance in % for regular students was 70.6% and the same for ATKT students was 29.4%. The difference in attendances between the two groups was statistically significant with Z value at 4.07.Conclusions: The attendance of ATKT students was abysmally poor. The difference of attendances of ATKT students and Regular students was statistically highly significant.

Abstract. Background: Repetition of self-harm is common and is strongly associated with suicide. Despite this, there is limited research on high-volume repetition. Aim: To investigate individuals with high-volume repeat self-harm attendances to the emergency department (ED), including their patterns of attendance and mortality. Method: Data from the Multicentre Study of Self-Harm in England were used. High-volume repetition was defined as ⩾15 attendances within 4 years. An attendance timeline was constructed for each high-volume repeater (HVR) and the different patterns of attendance were explored using an executive sorting task and hierarchical cluster analysis. Results: A small proportion of self-harm patients are HVRs (0.6%) but they account for a large percentage of self-harm attendances (10%). In this study, the new methodological approach resulted in three types of attendance patterns. All of the HVRs had clusters of attendance and a greater proportion died from external causes compared with non-HVRs. Conclusion: The approach used in this study offers a new method for investigating this problem that could have both clinical and research benefits. The need for early intervention is highlighted by the large number of self-harm episodes per patient, the clustered nature of attendances, and the higher prevalence of death from external causes.

In this study, an enhanced attendance monitoring system using biometric fingerprint recognition in tracking and monitoring employees’ attendances for Callang National High School, District 04, San Manuel, Isabela was introduced. For most organizations, handling people is a daunting job in which it is very important to maintain an accurate record of attendance. Taking and maintaining the attendance of employee manually on a regular basis is a big activity that requires time. For this reason an effective system was designed. The system was designed and developed primarily to improve the monitoring of employees attendances and leave management through the use of biometric technology. It records the data of the employees, handles leave management, tracks employee attendance and encourages participation through fingerprint recognition. The system is equipped with a dashboard monitoring system that can be viewed by school heads to track the list of employees, early birds (employees who arrived early), on-leave staff, on-official business and a statistical graph of the monthly attendance rate of employees. Moreover, the system provides an auto-generated DTR for employees which saved time compared to the manual process. The innovation greatly affects the improvement of employees’ attendance through its automated attendance monitoring, leave management and report generated by the system. The impact of EAMS to the employees was identified through first quarter attendance report of SY 2028-2019 which served as a bases of comparison with the attendance rate of SY 2019-2020 when the system was implemented. The outcome shows that through the usage of the system, employees’ attendance has improved.

AbstractIntroduction Around one-third of the UK population are 'problem-orientated dental attenders', only seeking care when suffering with dental pain and often on a repeated basis to secondary care. Little is known about attendance in primary care. The aim here was to examine the period prevalence of repeat urgent care attenders and establish predictors of repeat attendance in primary care.Methods Data on urgent and emergency dental care attendances in primary dental care in the North East and Cumbria were analysed from 2013-2019. Variables included: patient sex; ten-year age band; lower super output area; and Index of Multiple Deprivation. Period prevalence was calculated and data were considered year by year to identify trends in attendances. Analysis was with descriptive statistics and predictors of repeat attendance were identified using logistic regression modelling.Results Over the six-year period, there were 601,432 attendances for urgent primary dental care, equating to a period prevalence of 2.76% for the geographic population studied. In total, 16.15% of attendances were repeat attendances (period prevalence 0.45%) and predictors included being a woman and residence in deprived and rural areas. All urgent care attendances decreased over the six-year period, with one-off attendances beginning to increase again in 2019, while repeat attendances stabilised.Conclusion Interventions to encourage regular dental attendances should be targeted at patients from the most deprived and rural areas of the North East and Cumbria; however, a decrease in repeat attendance was noted in these areas.

BackgroundResponses to the COVID-19 pandemic include strict public health measures, such as national lockdowns. During these measures, paediatric emergency department attendances have declined and the prevalence of presenting complaints has changed. This study sought to identify whether dog bite attendance and victim demographics changed during COVID-19 public health measures.MethodsAn audit was conducted of emergency department attendance data from a UK tertiary paediatric hospital between January 2016 and September 2020. Dog bite attendance and victim demographics were explored using χ2 tests and multivariable Poisson regression. The mean monthly percentage of attendance due to dog bites in 2020 was compared against predicted percentages based on previous years’ data.ResultsDog bite attendance rose in conjunction with the introduction of COVID-19 public health measures and reached a peak in July 2020 (44 dog bites, 1.3% of all attendances were due to dog bites). This was a threefold increase in dog bite attendance. By September 2020, attendance had returned to normal. The demographic profile of child dog bite victims remained the same. Boys had the highest attendance rates in 7–12 year-olds, girls in 4–6 year-olds. Girls showed higher attendance rates in the summer, while boys’ attendance rates were constant throughout the year. COVID-19 public health measures were associated with a 78% increase in attendance for boys and a 66% increase in girls.ConclusionsCOVID-19 national public health measures were associated with an increase in paediatric emergency department dog bite attendance, and may be due to increased child exposure to dogs via ‘stay at home’ orders and school closures. National lockdowns are likely to continue globally throughout the COVID-19 pandemic; this is likely to result in more dog bites. Urgent public health communication and injury prevention strategies are needed to help prevent these avoidable injuries.

Full textAbstract:
SummaryThe private sector in health care in Vietnam has been increasingly competing with the government in primary health care services. However, little is known about the use of skilled birth attendance or about choice of public and private sectors among those who opt for skilled attendants. Using data from the Vietnam 2002 Demographic and Health Survey, this study examines factors related to women’s decision-making of whether to have a skilled birth attendant at a recent childbirth, and if they did, whether it was a public or private sector provider. The study indicates that the use of the private sector for delivery services was significant. Women’s household wealth, education, antenatal care and community’s wealth were positively related to skilled birth attendance, while ethnicity and order of childbirth were negatively related. Order of childbirth was positively associated with skilled birth attendance in the private sector. Among service environment factors, increased access to public sector health centres was associated with an increased likelihood of skilled birth attendance in general, but a lowered chance of that in the private sector. Further studies are needed to assess the current situation in the private sector, the demand for delivery services in the private sector, and its readiness to provide quality services.

AbstractBackgroundFear of contracting coronavirus disease 2019 may be the latest addition to the barriers to clinic attendance. This study aimed to examine the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 and other variables on non-attendance rate at an out-patient clinic.MethodsClinic attendance at the Department of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, Waikato Hospital, New Zealand, was assessed. For each appointment, the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 and other variables on non-attendance rate were analysed.ResultsIn total, 1963 appointments were scheduled, with 194 non-attendances (9.9 per cent). Patients who had their appointments confirmed beforehand were 10.0 times more likely to attend their appointment. Sex, socioeconomic status, ethnicity and age were found to impact non-attendance rate.ConclusionIn New Zealand, coronavirus disease 2019 does not appear to be a barrier to out-patient clinic appointment attendance. The patient's age, sex, ethnicity, socioeconomic status and prior appointment confirmation were found to influence clinic attendance.

The goal of Finger Print Based Attendance system is to take attendance of the student in a faster and efficient way. The attendance has been taken by calling out students name in the class which will be time consuming. After taking attendance the list will be sent to the department. Its ability is to uniquely identify each person based on their FINGER PRINT reader. In real time application capability of taking attendances will be more accurate by using Finger Print. Using an USB port or MAX 232 an attendance will be stored inside the database. Using an 8051 microcontroller data can be transferred to MAX 232.Thus the speed and security provided by Finger Print makes it valuable in the education field.

This study outlines the impact of COVID-19 on paediatric emergency department (ED) utilisation and assesses the extent of healthcare avoidance during each stage of the public health response strategy. Records from five EDs and one urgent care centre in Ireland, representing approximately 48% of national annual public paediatric ED attendances, are analysed to determine changes in characteristics of attendance during the three month period following the first reported COVID-19 case in Ireland, with reference to specific national public health stages. ED attendance reduced by 27–62% across all categories of diagnosis in the Delay phase and remained significantly below prior year levels as the country began Phase One of Reopening, with an incident rate ratio (IRR) of 0.58. The decrease was predominantly attributable to reduced attendance for injury and viral/viral induced conditions resulting from changed living conditions imposed by the public health response. However, attendance for complex chronic conditions also reduced and had yet to return to pre-COVID levels as reopening began. Attendances referred by general practitioners (GPs) dropped by 13 percentage points in the Delay phase and remained at that level. While changes in living conditions explain much of the decrease in overall attendance and in GP referrals, reduced attendance for complex chronic conditions may indicate avoidance behaviour and continued surveillance is necessary.

Introduction In 2017, the highest global maternal deaths occurred in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The WHO advocates that maternal deaths can be mitigated with the assistance of skilled birth attendants (SBAs) at childbirth. Women empowerment is also acknowledged as an enabling factor to women’s functionality and healthcare utilisation including use of SBAs’ services. Consequently, this study investigated the association between women empowerment and skilled birth attendance in SSA. Materials and methods This study involved the analysis of secondary data from the Demographic and Health Surveys of 29 countries conducted between January 1, 2010, and December 3, 2018. For this study, only women who had given birth in the five years prior to the surveys were included, which is 166,022. At 95% confidence interval, Binary Logistic Regression analyses were conducted and findings were presented as adjusted odds ratios (aORs). Results The overall prevalence of skilled birth attendance was 63.0%, with the lowest prevalence in Tanzania (13.8%) and highest in Rwanda (91.2%). Women who were empowered with high level of knowledge (aOR = 1.60, 95% CI = 1.51, 1.71), high decision-making power (aOR = 1.19, 95% CI = 1.15, 1.23), and low acceptance of wife beating had higher likelihood of skill birth attendance after adjusting for socio-demographic characteristics. Women from rural areas had lesser likelihood (OR = 0.53, 95% CI = 0.51–0.55) of skilled birth attendance compared to women from urban areas. Working women had a lesser likelihood of skilled birth attendance (OR = 0.91, 95% CI = 0.88–0.94) as compared to those not working. Women with secondary (OR = 2.13, 95% CI = 2.03–2.22), or higher education (OR = 4.40, 95% CI = 3.81–5.07), and women in the richest wealth status (OR = 3.50, 95% CI = 3.29–3.73) had higher likelihood of skilled birth attendance. Conclusion These findings accentuate that going forward, successful skilled birth attendant interventions are the ones that can prioritise the empowerment of women.

BackgroundPeople experiencing homelessness are known to have complex health needs and to be high users of hospital accident and emergency (A&E) departments. It is unclear whether access to a day-time specialist homeless medical practice, as opposed to routine general practice, influences A&E attendance rates.AimThis study investigated whether registration with a specialist homeless service would alter A&E attendance rates in a single geographical region in Scotland.Design & settingA health board area with a specialist service for people experiencing homelessness was selected. Data were obtained from the hospital records of 4408 A&E attendances by people experiencing homelessness at NHS Lothian (based on a broad definition of homelessness and including those in temporary accommodation) between January 2015 and July 2017.MethodThe attendances were compared between people registered with a specialist service and those registered with a mainstream GP.ResultsThe reasons for attendance and urgency of attendance were broadly similar between the two groups. Repeat attendance was similarly high in both groups. Almost 70% in both groups attended with problems deemed urgent, very urgent, or requiring immediate resuscitation. The patients registered with the specialist homeless service were more likely to be older and male; however, this did not affect the frequency of attendance.ConclusionPeople experiencing homelessness attending A&E mainly do so for urgent or very urgent problems. This was not related to the type of day-time primary care service they had access to. Strategies to reduce attendances, such as out-of-hours mobile medical units, should be explored.

Objective: To model the effectiveness of afterhours general practice (GP) in reducing metropolitan Perth emergency departments? (ED) low acuity patient (LAP) attendances and costs. Methods: We estimated LAP attendances by comparison of the product of (A) the difference between self-referred and GP-referred ED discharge rates and (B) total self-referred attendances (LAP attendances = A - B). We then compared after-hours ED LAP attendance rates and costs with inner metropolitan 'working-week' ED LAP attendance rates and costs, when GP services are maximally available. Results: Working-week LAP attendances comprised 8.2% (95% CI, 8.0%?8.4%) of inner metropolitan ED attendances. Excess weekend and evening LAP attendances were estimated to comprise 16.5% (95%CI, 15.9%?17.0%) and 4.5% (95%CI, 4.1%?4.9%) of outer and inner metropolitan ED attendances respectively and totalled less than 3.0% of ED costs. Conclusions: Low acuity patients form a relatively constant, inexpensive proportion of ED workloads. After-hours GP LAP services are unlikely to significantly reduce ED attendances or costs.

BackgroundEarly studies suggested that presentations with unexplained acute abdominal pain were associated with increased long-term rates of hospital attendance and self-harm, especially in women, but few studies were large enough for definitive findings.AimsTo test the hypothesis that such presentations are followed by higher long-term utilisation rates of secondary health care even excluding further abdominal symptoms, and particularly for self-harm, than presentations with acute appendicitis.MethodNew hospital attendance rates, liaison psychiatry attendances and self-harm attendances of patients with normal appendices at emergency appendicectomy were compared with those of appendicitis patients.ResultsAttendance rates of all kinds were significantly higher for normal appendix patients than for appendicitis patients, with equal strengths of finding for males and females.ConclusionsPeople with normal appendices at emergency appendicectomy show higher long-term rates of hospital attendance. This has implications for how these patients are best managed by health care systems.

Maternal mortality of Surabaya, in 2017, reached 79.40 per 100,000 live births due to direct causes by 77.2%. There are many programs to reduce maternal mortality and infant mortality such as improving delivery services in the health facility. In 2008, the partnership program between midwives and traditional birth attendants had developed to increase the access of quality maternal services for mothers and babies. However, in 2017 the delivery practice with traditional birth attendants has remained active in the area of Bulak Banteng Community Health Center, Surabaya. This study aimed to analyze the women’s decision selecting the traditional birth attendants for their delivery practice by exploring knowledge factor, belief factor, health service access factor, and family factor in Bulak Banteng Community Health Center of Surabaya. The research was a qualitative study using the approach of case study including in-depth interview and exploring secondary data. The sample was the mothers who delivered the baby with the traditional birth attendant from a previous year ago, and the midwife of health community center. The variable from this study were knowledge factor, belief factor, health service access factor, and family factor. The study used the analytical method consisted of data collecting, data reduction, and verification. The result showed less knowledge factor of healthy and safe delivery in the community. The belief factor and family factor held an important role in the selection of the traditional birth attendants during birth attendance, while the factor of health service access showed nothing related to the selection process. There is a need to implement health education for pregnant women, husband, family, and people with an aim of giving the understanding about healthy and safe birth attendance. In conclude, the selection on traditional birth attendant was influenced by knowledge factor, belief factor, and family factor.

Abstract The employee attendance is proof of the presence of an employee in the office or where he works. It is one of the factors assessing the discipline of an employee, whether the employee often arrives late, permits, or does not enter work. On CV. Sumber Lumas Semarang, the owner will cut the salary out for employees who arrive late or those who do not work for specific reason. Because of that, there are employees who do unfair to their manual attendance to avoid salary deductions. Another reason is the human error, calculation error, which was conducted by the owners. There are many ways that can be done by the owner to collect data. One of them is using fingerprint attendance machines. By using it, an employee cannot do the attendances unfair and the owner will also calculate employee salaries easily. It is because the fingerprint machine is able to detect employee data and their attendance hours through fingerprints of each employee. Attendance information system using fingerprint machine will be applied to solve the problems. By using this system, it is expected to avoid fraud in employee attendance and help the owner to calculate the salaries accurately

Attendance is an inseparable component from lectures. The current manual attendance process still has its weaknesses, such as the loss or broken attendance sheets, the easiness to conduct fraud on the attendance sheets, and other cases. The attendance system using fingerprint devices are also not available in other locations yet, such as lectures that are done on the field or outdoor, where fingerprint devices are not available. Because of that, an online lecture attendance system that makes use of Android-based smartphones is developed in order to tackle the problem. This online lecture attendance system has the main feature of recording students’ attendances in a radius of 300 metres from the lecturer. This application is named Lecture Attendance System is developed using Rapid Application Development (RAD) model, because it is an effective method to minimise errors in the application. There are two testing performed to the application. The first testing was functional testing of the application. This testing was carried out in order to make sure that all functionalities and features are performing well. The second testing carried out is the distance accuracy testing, to compare between the Google Maps and MapBox API distances. From this testing, it was found that the error percentage using Google Maps is 9.250% and 12.128% for MapBox. From these results, they show that in calculating the distance, using Google Maps API has higher accuracy compared to the MapBox API.

Introduction: Detailed Emergency Department attendance data for migraine are needed for service redesign. Methods: A service evaluation was undertaken, classifying adult emergency department headache attendances using the International Classification of Headache Disorders migraine C-E criteria, evaluating attendance characteristics. Results: Migraine/Probable migraine diagnosis was documented in 58% but coded in 24% attendances by ED clinicians. 29% of patients used no analgesia before attending, 43% attended ≥4 days after onset and 19% arrived by ambulance. Conclusion: This evaluation highlights sub-optimal acute management and discrepancy between migraine coding and diagnosis contributing to underreporting. We recommend further evaluation of identified cohorts and headache proforma use.

But in this method many more time are required to take attendance and also people are in contact with each other while marking their attendance in this pandemic situation we are introducing new technology student attendance system using face reorganization. Generally in a classroom the attendance was taken manually at ending or beginning of the class. The problem is that they required a lot of time to be taken and some manual and paper work will make a chance of mistake. To overcome from this problem we are introducing face recognition base attendance system. It is used in many application for identification of human face in a digital image or live video stream video. The proposed system make used of Haar classifier, KNN, CNN, SVM and global filters. After this recognition attendance report will be generated in excel format. The overall accuracy and complexity are calculated after testing this system it is cost efficient and need less installation time. Keywords: Face recognitions, Face detection, Haar classifier, CNN, KNN, SVM, LBPH, Automatic Attendances and image processing.

Full textAbstract:
Skilled attendance at delivery is one of the key indicators to reflect progress toward the Millennium Development Goal of improving maternal health. This paper assesses global progress in the use of skilled attendants at delivery and identifies factors that could assist in achieving Millennium Development Goals for maternal health. National data covering a substantial proportion of all developing country births were used for the estimation of trends and key differentials in skilled assistance at delivery. Between 1990 and 2000, the percentage of births with a skilled attendant increased from 45% to 54% in developing countries, primarily as a result of an increasing use of doctors. A substantial proportion of antenatal care users do not deliver with a skilled attendant. Delivery care use among antenatal care users is highly correlated with wealth. Women aged 35 and above, who are at greatest risk of maternal death, are the least likely to receive professional delivery care. Births in mid-level facilities appear to be a strategy that has been overlooked. More effective strategies are needed to promote skilled attendance at birth during antenatal care, particularly among poor women. Specific interventions are also needed to encourage older and high parity mothers to seek professional care at delivery.

BackgroundFrequent paediatric attendances make up a large proportion of a GP's workload. Currently, there is no systematic review on frequent paediatric attendances in primary care.AimTo identify the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of children who attend primary care frequently.Design & settingA systematic review.MethodThe electronic databases MEDLINE, Embase, and PsycINFO were searched up to January 2020, using terms relating to frequent attendance in primary care settings. Studies were eligible if they considered children frequently attending in primary care (aged 0–19 years). Relevant data were extracted and analysed by narrative synthesis.ResultsSix studies, of fair quality overall, were included in the review. Frequent attendance was associated with presence of psychosocial and mental health problems, younger age, school absence, presence of chronic conditions, and high level of anxiety in their parents.ConclusionVarious sociodemographic and medical characteristics of children were associated with frequent attendance in primary care. Research on interventions needs to account for the social context and community characteristics. Integrating GP services with mental health and social care could potentially provide a response to medical and psychosocial needs of frequently attending children and their families.

Full textAbstract:
Background. The burden of maternal mortality is concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa with an estimation of 500 000 deaths annually. In 2012, about forty million births occurred without a skilled attendant in developing countries. Skilled birth attendance improves maternal and newborn survival. The aim of this study therefore was to establish the level of skilled birth attendance and the associated factors. Methods. A cross-sectional survey was carried out using structured questionnaires as tools of data collection. Systematic sampling was used to select the respondents from the facilities that were stratified. The dependent variable was skilled birth attendance. Descriptive statistics were used to generate proportions and percentages while chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests were used to draw inferences. Association was significant if P<0.05. Results. The level of utilisation of skilled birth attendance was 77%. Skilled birth attendance was noted to be associated with age, level of education, average family income, parity, distance to the health facility, timing of initiation of antenatal care, level of facility attended during pregnancy, and birth preparedness status. Conclusion. The level of skilled birth attendance among women in Tharaka-Nithi County, Kenya, despite being higher than in some counties, requires improvement.

Full textAbstract:
Background. Regular clinic attendance for antiretroviral (ARV) drug refills is important for successful clinical outcomes in HIV management.Methods. Clinic attendance for ARV drug refills and medication adherence using a clinic-based pill count in 392 adult patients receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) in a district hospital in Uganda were prospectively monitored over a 28-week period.Results. Of the 2267 total scheduled clinic visits, 40 (1.8%) were missed visits. Among the 392 clients, 361 (92%) attended all appointments for their refills (regular attendance). Clinic attendance for refills was statistically significantly associated with medication adherence with regular attendant clients having about fourfold greater odds of achieving optimal (≥95%) medication adherence [odds ratio(OR)=3.89, 95% CI: 1.48 to 10.25, exactP=.013]. In multivariate analysis, clients in age category 35 years and below were less likely to achieve regular clinic attendance.Conclusion. Monitoring of clinic attendance may be an objective and effective measure and could be a useful adjunct to an adherence measure such as pill counting in resource-constrained settings. Where human resource constraints do not allow pill counts or other time-consuming measures, then monitoring clinic attendance and acting on missed appointments may be an effective proxy measure.

Full textAbstract:
One-third of the UK population is composed of problem-oriented dental attenders, seeking dental care only when they have acute dental pain or problems. Patients seek urgent dental care from a range of health care professionals, including general medical practitioners. This study aimed to identify trends in dental attendance at Welsh medical practices over a 44-y period, specifically in relation to dental policy change and factors associated with repeat attendance. A retrospective observational study was completed via the nationwide Secure Anonymised Information Linkage (SAIL) Databank of visits to general medical practice in Wales. Read codes associated with dental diagnoses were extracted for patients attending their general medical practitioner between 1974 and 2017. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and univariate and multivariable logistic regression. Over the 44-y period, there were 439,361 dental Read codes, accounting for 288,147 patient attendances. The overall attendance rate was 2.60 attendances per 1,000 patient-years (95% CI, 2.59 to 2.61). The attendance rate was negligible through 1987 but increased sharply to 5.0 per 1,000 patient-years in 2006 (95% CI, 4.94 to 5.09) before almost halving to 2.6 per 1,000 in 2017 (95% CI, 2.53 to 2.63) to a pattern that coincided with changes to National Health Service policies. Overall 26,312 patients were repeat attenders and were associated with living in an area classified as urban and deprived (odds ratio [OR], 1.22; 95% CI, 1.19 to 1.25; P < 0.0001) or rural (OR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.83 to 0.85; P < 0.0001). Repeat attendance was associated with greater odds of having received an antibiotic prescription (OR, 2.53; 95% CI, 2.50 to 2.56; P < 0.0001) but lower odds of having been referred to another service (OR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.70 to 0.81; P < 0.0001). Welsh patients’ reliance on medical care for dental problems was influenced by social deprivation and health policy. This indicates that future interventions to discourage dental attendance at medical practitioners should be targeted at those in the most deprived urban areas or rural areas. In addition, health policy may influence attendance rates positively and negatively and should be considered in the future when decisions related to policy change are made.

Full textAbstract:
Background As prevalence of multimorbidity and polypharmacy rise, health care systems must respond to these challenges. Data is needed from general practice regarding the impact of age, number of chronic illnesses and medications on specific metrics of healthcare utilisation. Methods This was a retrospective study of general practices in a university-affiliated education and research network, consisting of 72 practices. Records from a random sample of 100 patients aged 50 years and over who attended each participating practice in the previous two years were analysed. Through manual record searching, data were collected on patient demographics, number of chronic illnesses and medications, numbers of attendances to the general practitioner (GP), practice nurse, home visits and referrals to a hospital doctor. Attendance and referral rates were expressed per person-years for each demographic variable and the ratio of attendance to referral rate was also calculated. Results Of the 72 practices invited to participate, 68 (94%) accepted, providing complete data on a total of 6603 patients’ records and 89,667 consultations with the GP or practice nurse; 50.1% of patients had been referred to hospital in the previous two years. The attendance rate to general practice was 4.94 per person per year and the referral rate to the hospital was 0.6 per person per year, giving a ratio of over eight attendances for every referral. Increasing age, number of chronic illnesses and number of medications were associated with increased attendance rates to the GP and practice nurse and home visits but did not significantly increase the ratio of attendance to referral rate. Discussion As age, morbidity and number of medications rise, so too do all types of consultations in general practice. However, the rate of referral remains relatively stable. General practice must be supported to provide person centred care to an ageing population with rising rates of multi-morbidity and polypharmacy.

AbstractObjective: This audit aimed to (a) systematically identify problems related to rates of attendance and non-attendance at one psychiatry outpatient clinic; (b) quantify these problems; (c) implement strategies to improve service delivery; and (d) re-audit after three months.Methods: Specific standards were set in relation to patterns of attendance at the outpatient clinic. Audit was performed over two weeks; changes to practice were agreed and implemented for three months; re-audit was performed.Results: The initial audit showed that (a) 93 people attended the clinic over two mornings with a non-attendance rate of 13.9%; (b) 30.1% of individuals who attended did not have an appointment; (c) 20.4% of attendances were ‘inappropriate’; (d) 2.2% did not live in the clinic's catchment area. Based on these results, the clinic introduced a protocol for individuals who attended without appointment; a protocol for streamlining the provision of prescriptions; and a renewed emphasis on transferring the care of individuals not residing in the catchment area. Three months later, re-audit showed that (a) the number attending over two mornings decreased from 93 to 43, but the non-attendance rate had not changed; (b) the proportion of individuals presenting without an appointment (9.3%) decreased significantly compared to the initial audit (30.1 %); (c) the proportion of ‘inappropriate’ attendances (9.3%) tended to decrease compared to the initial audit (20.4%) but this was not statistically significant; (d) there was no difference in the proportion of patients who did not live in the catchment area; these proportions were low in both the initial audit (2.2%) and re-audit (2.3%).Conclusions: A relatively simple audit such as this can result in a more efficient and appropriate delivery of outpatient mental health services. On this basis, there is a need to provide ongoing resources for further cycles of clinical audit in mental health services.

ObjectivesTo measure the frequency of patients making avoidable emergency department (ED) attendances after contact with NHS 111 and to examine whether these attendances can be predicted reliably.DesignAnalysis of 16 563 946 calls made to 111, where each call was linked with a record of whether the patient attended ED within 24 hours.SettingAll regions of England from March 2015 to October 2017.Participants and dataOur main regression model used a sample of 10 954 783 calls, each with detailed patient-level information.Main outcomeWhether patients made an unadvised, non-urgent type 1 ED (‘avoidable') attendance within 24 hours of calling 111.ResultsOf 16 563 946 calls to 111, 12 894 561 (77.8%) were not advised to go to ED (ie, they were advised to either attend primary care, attend another non-ED healthcare service or to self-care). Of the calls where the patient was not advised to go to the ED, 691 783 (5.4%) resulted in the patient making an avoidable ED attendance within 24 hours. Among other factors, calls were less likely to result in these attendances when they received clinical input (adjusted OR 0.52, 95% CI 0.51 to 0.53) but were more likely when the patient was female (OR 1.07, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.08) or aged 0–4 years (OR 1.34, 95% CI 1.33 to 1.35).ConclusionsFor every 20 calls where 111 did not advise people to attend the ED, 1 resulted in avoidable ED attendance within 24 hours. These avoidable attendances could be predicted, to a certain extent, based on call characteristics. It may be possible to use this information to help 111 call handlers identify which callers are at higher risk of these attendances.

ObjectivesTo compare the proportions of emergency department (ED) attendances following self-harm that result in admission between hospitals, examine whether differences are explained by severity of harm and examine the impact on spatial variation in self-harm rates of using ED attendance data versus admissions data.SettingA dataset of ED attendances and admissions with self-harm to four hospitals in South East London, 2009–2016 was created using linked electronic patient record data and administrative Hospital Episode Statistics.DesignProportions admitted following ED attendance and length of stay were compared. Variation and spatial patterning of age and sex standardised, spatially smoothed, self-harm rates by small area using attendance and admission data were compared and the association with distance travelled to hospital tested.ResultsThere were 20 750 ED attendances with self-harm, 7614 (37%) resulted in admission. Proportion admitted varied substantially between hospitals with a risk ratio of 2.45 (95% CI 2.30 to 2.61) comparing most and least likely to admit. This was not altered by adjustment for patient demographics, deprivation and type of self-harm. Hospitals which admitted more had a higher proportion of admissions lasting less than 24 hours (54% of all admissions at highest admitting hospital vs 35% at lowest). A previously demonstrated pattern of lower rates of self-harm admission closer to the city centre was reduced when ED attendance rates were used to represent self-harm. This was not altered when distance travelled to hospital was adjusted for.ConclusionsHospitals vary substantially in likelihood of admission after ED presentation with self-harm and this is likely due to the differences in hospital practices rather than in the patient population or severity of self-harm seen. Public health policy that directs resources based on self-harm admissions data could exacerbate existing health inequalities in inner-city areas where these data may underestimate rates relative to other areas.

Authentication is the process of verifying one’s identity, and one of its implementation is in taking attendances in university’s lectures. Attendance taking is a very important matter to every academic institution as a way to examine students’ performance. Signature based attendance taking can be manipulated. Therefore it has problems in verifying the attendance validity. In this final project, a real time eigenface based face recognition is implemented in an application to do attendance taking. The input face image is captured using a webcam. The application itself is built in C#, utilizing EmguCV library. The application is developed using Visual Studio 2015. Face detection is done with Viola-Jones algorithm. The eigenface method is used to do facial recognition on the detected face image. In this final project, a total of 8 testings are done in different conditions. From the testings, it is found that this application can recognize face images with accuracy as high as 90% and as low as 6.67%. This solution can be used as an alternative for real-time attendance taking in an environment with 170 lux light intensity, webcam resolution of 320 x 240 pixel, and the subject standing 1 meter away while not wearing spectacles. The average recognition time is 0.18125 ms.

Abstract Background frequent emergency department (ED) attendance at the end of life disrupts care continuity and contradicts most patients’ preference for home-based care. Objective to examine factors associated with frequent (≥3) end of life ED attendances among older people to identify opportunities to improve care. Methods pooled data from two mortality follow-back surveys in England. Respondents were family members of people aged ≥65 who died four to ten months previously. We used multivariable modified Poisson regression to examine illness, service and sociodemographic factors associated with ≥3 ED attendances, and directed content analysis to explore free-text responses. Results 688 respondents (responses from 42.0%); most were sons/daughters (60.5%). Mean age at death was 85 years. 36.5% had a primary diagnosis of cancer and 16.3% respiratory disease. 80/661 (12.1%) attended ED ≥3 times, accounting for 43% of all end of life attendances. From the multivariable model, respiratory disease (reference cancer) and ≥2 comorbidities (reference 0) were associated with frequent ED attendance (adjusted prevalence ratio 2.12, 95% CI 1.21–3.71 and 1.81, 1.07–3.06). Those with ≥7 community nursing contacts (reference 0 contacts) were more likely to frequently attend ED (2.65, 1.49–4.72), whereas those identifying a key health professional were less likely (0.58, 0.37–0.88). Analysis of free-text found inadequate community support, lack of coordinated care and untimely hospital discharge were key issues. Conclusions assigning a key health professional to older people at increased risk of frequent end of life ED attendance, e.g. those with respiratory disease and/or multiple comorbidities, may reduce ED attendances by improving care coordination.

F a presented a mean of 6.33 attendances/year, while non-F a presented a mean of 1.29 attendances/year.in accordance with frequency of visits by months, it was observed that number of attendances was increased in april and May, in both F a and non-F a.ConclusionPrevalence of F a was 5.98%, F a generated a 23.74% of attendances. Most prevalent F a’ diagnoses were: anxiety disorder, personality disorder non-specified and schizophrenia.F a at emergency department contributes to overcrowd them. for this reason, it is important to take into account these results to develop new strategies to improve F a’ attention and prevent its occurrence.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Full textAbstract:
Background:A large proportion of patients present to the paediatric emergency department (PED) with non-urgent problems [1]. With growing pressures on services, there is a need to reduce unnecessary attendances. Children with rheumatological conditions may attend PED with flares of their condition or unrelated presentations. These patients may be immunosuppressed due to steroid, disease-modifying or biologic therapy; PED attendance may therefore pose a serious infection risk.Objectives:To evaluate why children with rheumatological conditions attend the PED and whether these attendances are avoidable.Methods:This study was run in Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, a UK hospital with a PED and tertiary paediatric rheumatology services. Patients under rheumatology who attend PED are usually seen directly. A dataset of all patients referred directly to paediatric rheumatology between 01/01/19 and 31/12/19 was obtained from electronic records (n=59). The age, sex and reason for attendence were collected, as well whether they were admitted/discharged. Further data on management was collected from discharge letters for those with joint pain/swelling.Results:This cohort had 36 females and 23 males, with an average age of 11.9 years (range 1-18). 28 were discharged (47.5%) and 30 were admitted (50.8%). One patient left before being seen. The average waiting time was 3.97 hours.Table 1 summarises reasons for attendance to PED and final outcome. The most common reason for attendance was joint pain/swelling (n=14, 23.7%). Of these, nine were discharged with advice on analgesia or steroid dosing and for early review in clinic. There was no documentation on whether there had been any attempt to access the available rheumatology helpline prior to attending PED.Non-rheumatology-related reasons for attendance are also shown in Table 1, and notably include 20 patients with infections, 75% of whom were admitted to hospital. Chicken pox was the second most common reason for attendance (n=5, 8.5%); all patients attending with chicken pox or shingles (n=6) were admitted.Table 1.Reasons for attendance to PED and final outcomeReason for attendanceNumber admittedNumber dischargedJoint pain/swelling59Chicken pox50Viral URTI14Rash04Pneumonia30SLE flare30Influenza A20GPA flare20Asked to attend due to blood results from clinic20Drug reaction02Minor injury02Shingles10Oral herpes simplex11Orbital inflammation10Urinary tract infection10Dysphagia10Gastroenteritis10Cerebral infarcts10Constipation01Chest pain01Abdominal pain01Enlarged lymph node01Picking up prescription01Unresponsive episode01Conclusion:Our study shows that attendance to PED with joint pain/swelling is usually avoidable in patients known to paediatric rheumatology services. Appropriate alternative services are needed to reduce hospital attendances; nurse-led helplines are beneficial, but still face some challenges in both availability and accessibility [2]. It is also important that patients and parents are given action plans for acute flares, which would ideally involve early clinic review rather than PED attendance. Our data also showed that patients are spending a long time waiting in PED, which needs to be avoided particularly in the context of immunosuppression. This is especially poignant now in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. Direct referral to rheumatology with non-rheumatological problems likely reflects a desire for specialist advice in the context of complex conditions and medications, for example with regards to infections whilst on immunosuppressive medications, or uncertainty about whether new symptoms are related to the underlying condition. Expansion of helpline services and new approaches such as remote consultations should be explored.References:[1]Poku BA et al.
