WITHDRAWN: Reduced dietary salt for the prevention of cardiovascular disease.
TL;DR: The estimates of benefits from advice to reduce dietary salt are consistent with the predicted small effects on clinical events attributable to the small blood pressure reduction achieved, and there is still insufficient power to exclude clinically important effects of reduced dietary salt on mortality or cardiovascular morbidity in normotensive or hypertensive populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Introduction of telephone triage delivered by a GP or nurse was associated with an increase in the number of primary care contacts in the 28 days after a patient's request for a same-day GP consultation, with similar costs to those of usual care.

Suzanne H Richards,Lindsey Anderson,Caroline E Jenkinson,Ben Whalley,Karen Rees,Philippa Davies,Paul Bennett,Z Liu,Robert West,David R. Thompson,Rod S Taylor +10 more
TL;DR: It is found that psychological intervention improved psychological symptoms and reduced cardiac mortality for people with CHD, however, there remains considerable uncertainty regarding the magnitude of these effects and the specific techniques most likely to benefit people with different presentations of CHD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complications of spinal cord stimulation, suggestions to improve outcome, and financial impact.
TL;DR: It is possible to reduce the complication rate, and thus improve the long-term success rate, by following the suggestions made in this paper, which are supported by the biomechanics of the human body and the implanted material.
