The order in which you acquire diseases could affect your life expectancy – new research

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, August 22, 2023

This increases to 65% for people older than 65 years, and to almost 82% for those aged 85 or older.

Key Points: 
  • This increases to 65% for people older than 65 years, and to almost 82% for those aged 85 or older.
  • Our study assessed how a number of multiple long-term health conditions (psychosis, diabetes and congestive heart failure) develop over time, and what effect this can have on life expectancy.
  • We also worked with patients and the public from across the UK to understand their experience of living with multiple long-term conditions.

The impact of disease order

    • We found that the order in which people developed these diseases had an important impact on their life expectancy.
    • People who developed diabetes, psychosis and congestive heart failure, in that order, had the largest loss in life expectancy (approximately 13 years, on average).
    • This is the first study to examine how the order of developing multiple long-term conditions affects a person’s life expectancy.

Applying our research

    • Future research could evaluate the impact of screening programmes and interventions in delaying the development of further long-term conditions and extending life.
    • Further research funded by Health Data Research UK, the national institute for health data science, aims to harmonise how this data is collected and reported.
    • Over time, this will improve the quality of information obtained from routinely collected health records for research.

Linking police and healthcare data could help better identify domestic abuse – new research

Retrieved on: 
Monday, August 7, 2023

Our study showed that many victims of domestic abuse often visit accident and emergency departments before the police get involved.

Key Points: 
  • Our study showed that many victims of domestic abuse often visit accident and emergency departments before the police get involved.
  • This means that healthcare professionals can play a crucial role in identifying and helping people who are experiencing abuse.
  • Connecting this data with health information gives a wide view of how domestic abuse affects people’s health.

What we found

    • Within a year of experiencing abuse, 3,544 of the victims had negative outcomes, such as an A&E admission, while there were 48 deaths.
    • We also found that certain factors increased the likelihood of negative outcomes.
    • By studying different patterns, we could predict how severe the cases of domestic abuse were in terms of risk.

What are the implications?

    • It is crucial for different organisations to work together and share information to identify and help vulnerable individuals effectively.
    • Identifying specific risk factors, like being younger or having a history of violence, could help identify victims more effectively.
    • Our research highlights the importance of healthcare settings, especially emergency departments, in identifying and addressing domestic abuse.
    • Our study looked at situations where abuse was officially reported, so victims who did not report it were not included.

Protecting privacy

    • While linking data from different organisations can be helpful for research, it is also important to protect people’s privacy.
    • If we want to link data at a national level for purposes other than research, we would need a public consultation on what data is shared and to discuss how people’s privacy would be protected.
    • The study was also supported by Health Care Research Wales through the National Centre for Population Health and Wellbeing Research, supported by ESRC through Administrative Data Research Wales, and received infrastructure support through Health Data Research UK.
