Abstract Objective: To examine whether the density of neighbourhood restaurants affected the frequency of eating restaurant meals and subsequently affected diet quality. Design: Cross-sectional and longitudinal designs. Structural equation models assessed the indirect relationship between restaurant density (≤3 miles (4.8 km) of participant addresses) and dietary quality (Healthy Eating Index 2010 (HEI)) via the frequency of eating restaurant meals, after adjustment for sociodemographics, select health conditions, region, residence duration and area-level income. Setting: Urbanised areas in multiple regions of the USA, years 2000–2002 and 2010–2012. Participants: Participants aged 45–84 years were followed for 10 years (n 3567). Results: Median HEI (out of 100) was 59 at baseline and 62 at follow-up. Cross-sectional analysis found residing in areas with a high density of restaurants (highest ranked quartile) was associated with 52% higher odds of frequently eating restaurant meals (≥3 times/week, odds ratio [OR]:1.52, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.18-1.98) and 3% higher odds of having lower dietary quality (HEI lowest quartile<54, OR:1.03,CI:1.01-1.06); associations were not sustained in longitudinal analyses. Cross-sectional analysis found 34% higher odds of having lower dietary quality for those who frequently ate at restaurants (OR:1.34,CI:1.12-1.61); and more restaurant meals (over time increase ≥1 times/week) was associated with higher odds of having worse dietary quality at follow-up (OR:1.21,CI:1.00-1.46). Conclusions: Restaurant density was associated with frequently eating out in cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses but was associated with the lower dietary quality only in cross-sectional analyses. Frequent restaurant meals were negatively related to dietary quality. Interventions that encourage less frequent eating out may improve population dietary quality.

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION Eye conditions are common presentations in Australian general practice, with the potential for serious sequelae. Pre-vocational ophthalmology training for General Practitioner (GP) trainees is limited. AIM To describe the rate, nature and associations of ophthalmic problems managed by Australian GP trainees, and derive implications for education and training. METHODS Cross-sectional analysis from an ongoing cohort study of GP trainees’ clinical consultations. Trainees recorded demographic, clinical and educational details of consecutive patient consultations. Descriptive analyses report trainee, patient and practice demographics. Proportions of all problems managed in these consultations that were ophthalmology-related were calculated with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Associations were tested using simple logistic regression within the generalised estimating equations (GEE) framework. RESULTS In total, 884 trainees returned data on 184,476 individual problems or diagnoses from 118,541 encounters. There were 2649 ophthalmology-related problems, equating to 1.4% (95% CI: 1.38–1.49) of all problems managed. The most common eye presentations were conjunctivitis (32.5% of total problems), eyelid problems (14.9%), foreign body (5.3%) and dry eye (4.7%). Statistically significant associations were male trainee; male patient and patient aged 14 years or under; the problem being new and the patient being new to both trainee and practice; urban and of higher socioeconomic status practice location; the practice nurse not being involved; planned follow up not arranged; referral made; in-consultation information sought; and learning goals generated. DISCUSSION Trainees have comparable ophthalmology exposure to established GPs. However, associations with referral and information-seeking suggest GP trainees find ophthalmic problems challenging, reinforcing the critical importance of appropriate training.

e16624 Background: Little is known about epidemiology and patterns of care of iCCA in daily clinical practice. The aims of this study were to estimate from real-life data the incidence of iCCA in France and to describe the healthcare pathways of these patients (pts). Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried out using the nationwide prospective French PMSI database. All pts with a new diagnosis of "carcinoma of the intrahepatic bile duct" who had a 1st hospital stay in Medicine, Surgery and Obstetrics departments (MSO) between 2014 and 2015 with a 2-year follow-up were included. Data related to the 1st identified stay (S1) in MSO and on all subsequent stays in MSO, Aftercare and Rehabilitation (SSR) or Home Hospitalizations (HAD) were analyzed. Results: A total of 3,650 new iCCA cases were identified. At S1 (admission via emergency room [ER] in 28%), median age of pts was 73y, 57% were male and 35% had metastases. Jaundice/anemia/ascites/cholangitis were reported in 17%/16%/12%/7%, respectively. Pts care at S1 was mainly provided in general hospitals (CHG, 60%), rather than university hospitals (CHU, 15%), private (20%) or cancer centers (CLCC, 6%). 896 (24%) pts died during S1: they were more frequently hospitalized via ER (48% vs 23%), metastatic (52% vs 35%) and symptomatic. Subsequent stays were identified for 2,507 pts (69%). Similarly to S1, most pts were managed in CHG during their follow-up (70% vs 20% in CHU and 12% in CLCC). Based on the number of pts treated over the study period, centers were classified as low (≤5 pts, 68%), intermediate (5-20 pts, 26%) and high volume ( > 20 pts, 6%). 47% of the high-volume centers were CHU/CLCC. Three healthcare pathways were defined: surgery (n = 519; 14%), chemotherapy (CT) without surgery (n = 812; 22%) and best supportive care (BSC) (n = 2,319; 63%). CT, surgery and BSC were most frequently performed in CLCC, CHU and CHG, respectively. Pts who received CT (mean time between S1 and start of CT: 1.9 months) were younger, less frequently hospitalized via ER and less symptomatic at S1. A palliative care code was associated with S1 in 25% of pts and with a subsequent MSO/SSR/HAD stay in 60%. Conclusions: This real-life, medico-administrative study, covering all hospitalized patients in France, reveals a higher incidence of iCCA than that previously reported by cancer registries. It also highlights the severity of this disease, the central role of CHG in the management of pts and the expertise of CHU and CLCC for surgery and CT, respectively.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder with well-documented effects on patients’ quality of life (QoL). The aim of this study was to evaluate the QoL of patients with HS via the use of a newly developed questionnaire: Hidradenitis Suppurativa Quality of Life-24 (HSQoL-24). This study was performed on a population of 342 HS patients. Their QoL was assessed via the HSQoL-24 questionnaire. The perceived impairment of QoL due to HS in the studied group was considered to be serious (mean HSQoL-24 score: 58.3 ± 21.0 points). Women tended to experience a significantly higher impact from the disease than men (61.6 ± 19.2 points vs. 51.1 ± 23.1 points, p < 0.001). The HS severity had an effect on the perceived QoL, with statistically significant differences being evident between the self-assessed HS severity groups. The level of QoL impairment correlated positively with the number of affected body areas (r = 0.285, p < 0.001) and the duration of the disease (r = 0.173, p = 0.001), while the patients’ age at disease onset correlated negatively with the HSQoL-24 global score (r = −0.182, p = 0.001). Patients living in their family house scored higher than other groups. The least affected were patients who lived alone. The study shows that the HSQoL-24 questionnaire is a reliable, HS-specific tool for measuring the QoL among patients with HS in real-life clinical settings.
