“…In this study, the design, methods, and issues involved are fully reported on so as to be as transparent as possible. Finally, Heaton (2002) brings forward the ethical issue. Where sensitive data is involved, to what extent does secondary analysis violate the contract made between the subjects and the primary researchers?…”

Secondly, we assessed 6 whether there was evidence for an interplay between 25(OH)D and glucose 7 homeostasis in the association with cognitive performance. 8 9 Design, Setting and Participants: Associations were studied using cross-10 sectional data of 776 (3 domains) up to 2722 (1 domain) Dutch community-11 dwelling older adults, aged ≥65 years. Results: The overall median MMSE score was 29 synthesis, choline acetyltransferase activity, and amyloid clearance (reviewed 52 in 2-4 ). Finally, besides these direct pathways between vitamin D and cognitive 53 performance, one might also think of indirect pathways. For instance, vitamin 54 D deficiency has been associated with glucose intolerance 6 . Glucose 55 intolerance on its turn has been related to both vascular damage and 56 cognitive decline 7 . Accordingly, it may be that the potential favourable effect 57 of vitamin D on cognitive performance can be partially explained by its 58 beneficial effect on glucose tolerance. It may also be that glucose tolerance 59 biologically interacts with vitamin D. Therefore, it may be that the potential 60 association between vitamin D and cognitive function appears to be stronger 61 5 in persons with glucose intolerance than in their glucose tolerant counterparts. 62These possible pathways, however, have only been examined in a few 63 studies [8][9][10][11][12] . 64 65 So far, results from observational studies 1,[8][9][10][11][13][14][15][16][17][18] Biochemical analyses 142Blood samples were drawn in the morning when the participants were fasted 143 or had consumed a restricted breakfast.

Plasma glucose concentrations were analysed using a 147 hexokinase method (Gluco-quant, Roche Diagnostics).

“…Qualitative secondary analysis is appropriate when a concept or question is evident within the data but was not specifically explored in the original study (Thorne, 1994;Hinds et al, 1997;Heaton, 2004). Although primary data may lack the precise information required to address the new study's research question(s), the data for this study were scrutinized to confirm their fit for the purpose of analyzing accounts of health care experiences (Dale et al, 1988;Stewart & Kamins, 1993;Heaton, 2004).…”

Palliative family caregivers' accounts of health care experiences: The importance of “security”

2009

Objective: When providing care for a loved one with a terminal illness, family members often look to health care providers for guidance and expertise. The objective of this study is to explore family caregiver accounts of their experiences within the health care system and with individual providers.Methods: A thematic analysis of secondary qualitative data was performed. Data are from a subsample of bereaved and current family caregivers (N ¼ 31) in a prior study of coping in end-of-life cancer situations. Data from these participants referring to experiences with health care providers was thematically coded and the concept of "security" was used as an analytic lens to facilitate conceptual development and exploration.Results: Considered together, the findings can be viewed as manifestations of a need and desire for security in palliative family caregiving. Specifically, family caregivers' accounts illustrate the importance of feeling secure that health care services will be provided by competent professionals; feeling secure in their timely access to needed care, services, and information; and feeling secure in their own identity and self-worth as a caregiver and individual. In addition, the findings suggest a conceptualization of security that extends beyond trust in individuals to include a generalized sense of institutional trust in the health care system.Significance of results: The concept of security moves beyond description of individual satisfaction or dissatisfaction with health care to identify a common, foundational need underlying such evaluations. Further empirical research is needed that explicitly focuses on caregivers' experiences of security and insecurity in the domains identified in this article. This will contribute to theory building as well as assist in identifying the causes and consequences of security.

“…Our analytical team was composed of both insider (researchers involved in the original studies) and "outsider" (SC-S) perspectives, which when combined addressed both lines of argument. Finally, it is possible that the data selection process may have affected the specific examples provided in the results section; however, we felt that our process of "data sorting" (47) to ensure data fit did not affect the overall themes and findings regarding time-specific priorities, key reasons for shifting, and reasons for condition prioritization that are reflected in the wider multimorbidity literature (25,26).…”

Patient Priorities in Osteoarthritis and Comorbid Conditions: A Secondary Analysis of Qualitative Data

Objective. A lack of agreement between clinician and patient priorities can impact the clinician-patient relationship, treatment concordance, and potential health outcomes. Studies have suggested that patients with osteoarthritis (OA) may prioritize comorbidities over their OA, but as yet no explicit systematic exploration of OA patients' priorities in relation to comorbidities exists. This study aims to explore how patients prioritize their OA among their conditions, which factors underlie this prioritization, and whether and why these priorities change over time.
