End of Life Care Strategy: quality markers consultation
End of Life Care Strategy: quality markers consultation
The DH has launched this consultation on quality markers for end of life care, as promised in the End of Life Care Strategy published in July. This document has been developed with help from the SHA Pathway Chairs for the NHS Next Stage Review, who identified the need for a national approach in order to raise the quality of care for people at the end of life. The document is aimed at commissioners, performance managers and providers of end of life care services, from the NHS, voluntary and independent sectors. (DH - publications)

Call for papers - paediatric care
Theme Issue on Palliative Care , Dying and Bereavement Call for papers
Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine
Page: 1098
Vol 162 ; Part 11 Date: 2008-November
The Archives will publish a "rolling theme issue" this year on palliative care, dying, and bereavement. We are interested in original articles, narrative and systematic reviews, and commentaries that will add to the scientific knowledge about these topics. Such articles might include observational longitudinal studies such as the effects of loss of a family member on children and adolescents; clinical trials examining specific interventions or evaluating different systems of delivering palliative, hospice, or bereavement care; and ethical analyses regarding how we decide on and enact the goals and limits of medical therapy.
Our intent is to bring these issues to the forefront of pediatrics and adolescent medicine, just as they are in the minds of those children and families who are confronted with such loss. We hope the attention of the Archives will advance science and provide help to the physicians dealing with these issues on behalf of their patients and families.
This call for papers will be an ongoing one, and we intend to publish articles on this topic throughout the year as the manuscripts are submitted and accepted. For specific guidelines on manuscript preparation and submission, please consult the author instructions on our Web site at http://www.archpediatrics.com/. Authors should indicate in their cover letter that the manuscript is to be considered for this theme.

Changes in Physical Function After Palliative Surgery for Metastatic Spinal Tumor: Association of the Revised Tokuhashi Score With Neurologic Recovery
Spine. 33(21):2341-2346, October 1, 2008.
Abstract
Study Design. A retrospective study of patients undergoing palliative surgery for metastatic spinal tumors.Objective. To investigate short-term functional recovery and duration of improvement after palliative surgery, to correlate these outcomes with the revised Tokuhashi score, and to examine the relationship between function and neurologic deterioration.Summary of Background Data. The revised Tokuhashi score is a scoring system used to predict life expectancy for patients with metastatic spinal tumors. The relationship between the revised Tokuhashi score and physical functional improvement after palliative surgery has not been examined previously.Methods. The clinical charts of 86 patients were reviewed. The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG-PS) was used to assess physical function. Each score was documented before surgery and at every month after surgery. The duration of ECOG-PS improvement, defined as the period between surgery and deterioration to the preoperative ECOG-PS grade, was correlated with the revised Tokuhashi score.Results. The ECOG-PS grade improved in 44 (51.1%) patients at 1 month postoperative. When ECOG-PS improvement was found after surgery, it persisted above the preoperative level for an average of 9.3 months. At 1 month postoperative, patients scoring 0 to 8 on the total revised Tokuhashi score had significantly lower ECOG-PS improvement (26 of 55 patients) when compared to patients with higher scores (18 of 27 patients, P <>
