“…In addition, our data may differ because our sample was comprised of men who agreed to participate in the telephone interview. Despite the fact that our response rates to the telephone survey were high (more than two‐thirds of each subgroup responded), as in other survey studies, we did observe lesser response rates among African Americans, especially among those who were staged as having distant disease 27. Because response rates differed between racial groups, it is possible that the African American men who participated in this interview may be more similar to the whites who also participated, thus minimizing potential differences.…”

These data suggest that African American and white men in North Carolina receive comparable treatment for prostate carcinoma. Therefore, efforts to reduce the racial disparity in mortality should be directed toward lessening the high incidence of later stage disease at diagnosis and exploring potential biologic differences that may increase the risk of more aggressive disease among African Americans.

Some authors have recommended to report different response rates according to the eligibility of subjects and results of follow-up [27]. …”

Recovery following laparoscopic cholecystectomy in either a 23 hour or an 8 hour facility

Research confirms that laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) results in shorter lengths of hospital stay and earlier return to usual activity than the traditional cholecystectomy procedure. Research in this area, however, focuses more on the medical aspects of patient recovery, but very few studies have evaluated how these patients manage their recovery at home or what types of problems they encounter. A total of 28 LC patients were randomly assigned to two groups: (1) 23 h stay (overnight) in a general surgical ward or (2) day procedure unit (DPU) stay. Data was collected by a self‐administered Postoperative Symptoms Diary and telephone interview. Results showed no significant difference between the two groups of patients recovery symptoms scores. Problems with mobility, pain and elimination recorded the highest mean scores for both groups of patients. Overnight patients also experienced problems with tiredness and eating. All DPU patients were able to manage their postoperative symptoms, compared to only 44% of patients who had stayed in overnight. Carer assistance was needed with regard to activities of daily living, child care and reassurance. Results showed that with careful selection of patients, LC cases performed as day procedures did not impact at all on the patients’ recovery trajectory.
