Kam Lun Hon, Karen Ka Yan Leung NZMJ 26 June 2020, Vol 133 No 1517 ISSN 1175-8716 © NZMA 4 www.nzma.org.nz/journal SUMMARIES Social consequences of assisted dying: a case study Rhona Winnington, Roderick MacLeod This paper discusses the potential effects of assisted dying (AD) legislation beyond the relief of individual suffering. AD is when an individual chooses that they wish to die and either self-medicate to end their life under clinical supervision, or clinicians administer the medi- cation for them. This paper focuses on potential family/whānau and community consequences should we introduce such legislation into New Zealand culture, highlighting that family members whose loved one has had an assisted death are feeling obligated to also consider dying in this way as their health fails. Furthermore, we highlight that even when AD is a legal option, all those involved in the assisted death remain secretive about what has occurred due to a fear of being judged by others. Finally, we offer insight into a concerning potential side- effect of AD legislation; that is that when individuals are exposed to someone considering an assisted death, they too will also consider using this legislation. This participant describes the effect of AD legislation as being infectious. Demographics of New Zealand women with vulval lichen sclerosus: is specialist care equitable? Harriet S Cheng, Coco Kerckho s, Nicky Perkins, Lois Eva Vulval lichen sclerosus is an autoimmune skin condition which can cause infl ammation, scarring and increased risk of cancer in genital skin. Around 1% of women are affected. This study examined cases of lichen sclerosus seen by dermatology, gynaecology and sexual health at Auckland District Health Board. We found most women seen were of New Zealand European ethnicity and compared with Census data for our region, European women were over-represented. Māori, Pacifi c and Asian women were under-represented. Causes for this inequitable ethnic representation may include sociocultural beliefs, variations in access to care or ethnic differences in the prevalence of lichen sclerosus. Further study is required to deepen our understanding and allow work to reduce inequity. Performance of CVD risk equations for older patients assessed in general practice: a cohort study Sue Wells, Romana Pylypchuk, Suneela Mehta, Andrew Kerr, Vanessa Selak, Katrina Poppe, Corina Grey, Rod Jackson Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of preventable health loss for older people, many of whom are still engaged in the workforce and physically active. The current Ministry of Health CVD guidelines recommend that GPs consider doing a routine heart check using New Zealand CVD risk equations for healthy people over 75 years and discuss the same management options as for people under 75 years of age. However, risk assessment and management is more complex for older age groups as health status varies greatly. The risk of other long-term conditions increases with age and this in turn is associated with complicated medication regimens. As a fi rst step, we investigated how well current CVD risk equations (developed for people 30–74 years) performed for over 40,000 older people for whom GPs considered suitable for routine preventive CVD risk assessment. We found current CVD risk equations underestimated fi ve-year CVD hospitalisations or deaths for women from 75 years and men from 80 years. NZMJ 26 June 2020, Vol 133 No 1517 ISSN 1175-8716 © NZMA 5 www.nzma.org.nz/journal SUMMARIES Surveillance for dysplasia in patients with in ammatory bowel disease: an updated national survey of colonoscopic practice in New Zealand Tamara Glyn Mullaney, Andrew McCombie, Christopher Wakeman, Timothy Eglinton, Richard Gearry Infl ammatory bowel disease patients are at a higher risk of developing colorectal cancer and so undergo surveillance endoscopy to identify the changes (dysplasia) at an early stage. In the past, it has been diffi cult to see all these changes (and sometimes even cancers), so we have tended to treat these patients (even with early changes) by removing their large bowel. Current techniques are more accurate at identifying the changes and this survey suggests New Zealand endoscopists are using them appropriately, however we are possibly still recom- mending removal of the large bowel more often than is necessary. Perhaps some of these patients will be able to be managed with the advanced techniques safely and avoid the need to their remove their bowel at this stage.

Includes metrics for discharges grouped by type of stroke. Excludes transfers to another hospital, cases admitted from a hospice facility, and obstetric discharges. [NOTE: The software provides the rate per hospital discharge. However, common practice reports the measure as per 1,000 discharges. The user must multiply the rate obtained from the software by 1,000 to report in-hospital deaths per 1,000 hospital discharges.] Stratification of Indicator The indicator is stratified into three groups by the type of stroke: Cases are assigned to strata according to a hierarchy based on risk of mortality, with cases being assigned to the stratum with the highest mortality for which the case qualifies. In the case of Stroke Mortality the current hierarchy is as follows: Strata hierarchy (listed from highest mortality to lowest mortality): 1) Intracerebral hemorrhage 2) Subarachnoid hemorrhage 3) Ischemic stroke Strata are mutually exclusive. If a discharge qualifies for more than one stratum, it will be assigned to the stratum with the highest risk of mortality (Intracerebral hemorrhage, Subarachnoid hemorrhage, Ischemic stroke).
