Disparities in ethnicity and metabolic disease burden in referrals to nephrology
CONCLUSION: A disproportionately large number of Malay patients are referred for kidney disease. These patients have higher metabolic disease burden, tend to miss appointments and are referred at lower eGFR. Reasons underpinning these associations should be identified to facilitate efforts for targeting this at-risk population, ensuring kidney health for all.PMID:37675684 | DOI:10.4103/singaporemedj.SMJ-2022-193

A qualitative study of Singaporean perspectives on returning to work after stroke
CONCLUSION: RTW after stroke is complex and influenced by personal and environmental factors. Our findings suggest that individuals with stroke need continuing support to overcome stigma and discrimination, to manage expectations of their recovery process, and to better navigate resources during their RTW process in Singapore. We recommend future studies to design and test the feasibility of appropriate interventions based on our proposed strategies to better support individuals with stroke to return to work.PMID:36641709 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-211170
