To determine vaccination status and adverse events following vaccination, questionnaires were sent to the general practitioners of 83 children referred for specialist advice between January 1988 and June 1991 in Redbridge Health Authority. Details of consultations within seven days of vaccination, and of any subsequent neurological or developmental problems were collected. Follow-up data were obtained for 77 of the 83 children (93%); 66 of whom had a family history, and 11 a personal history, of convulsions. Of the 66 children with a family history of convulsions, 57 received pertussis-containing vaccines, of whom one child was reviewed for a possible neurological event. Of the nine remaining children who received diphtheria-tetanus (DT) only vaccine, two children were reviewed for possible neurological events. Of the 11 children with a personal history of convulsions, nine received pertussis-containing vaccines and two received DT vaccines; none had any further neurological event. At late follow-up, none of the 77 children vaccinated had developed recurrent convulsions or any other neurological or developmental problems. Children with a family or personal history of convulsions who are given pertussis-containing vaccines seem unlikely to suffer adverse events or long-term neurological sequelae, and should be considered for all routine vaccinations in line with current recommendations.</p>","PeriodicalId":79616,"journal":{"name":"Health trends","volume":"26 1","pages":"23-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21008662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The regulations are colloquially known by the acronym POPUMET, and implement European Directive 84/466 EURATOM in Great Britain. This laid down basic measures for the protection of persons undergoing medical examination or treatment involving ionising radiation. The POPUMET regulations are applicable to all health care settings, public or private sector, but exclude research. Regulation 4 is intended to prevent unnecessary or excessive medical exposure to radiation. Of 68 reported incidents, 54 (79%) were relevant to regulation 4, comprising 20 (37%) incidents in radiotherapy, 21 (39%) in radiology, 11 (20%) in nuclear medicine and 2 (4%) in dental radiology. Allowing for the denominator number of NHS departments in England, the greatest frequency of incidents were reported from radiotherapy departments, followed by nuclear medicine and then radiology departments. Of the 54 incidents investigated, 42 (78%) required a site visit; 39 (72%) resulted in advice from the Inspectorate; 13 (24%) required no action following investigation and 2 (4%) were still under investigation as at 31 May 1994.

We audited 74 patients who had day-case laparoscopy for diagnosis or sterilisation, and found that the incidence of nausea and vomiting was lower than any previously recorded, and mean pain scores were minimal. No patient was admitted for recovery problems, despite the inclusion of afternoon procedures; two patients only were admitted for surgical complications.

No differences existed in the overall conversion rates of people managed by senior or junior doctors, but junior doctors who did not seek the advice of a senior doctor had a significantly lower rate of conversion than those who did.
