  • comparison of academic Application Form and social factors in predicting early perFormance on the medical course
    Medical Education, 2004
    Co-Authors: Andrew B Lumb, Andy Vail
    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVES: To compare the relative importance of social, academic and Application Form factors at admission in predicting perFormance in the first 3 years of a medicine course. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: A single UK medical school. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 738 students who entered medical school between 1994 and 1997. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: PerFormance in Year 3 objective structured clinical examination (OSCE). RESULTS: School-leaving grades were significant predictors of success in the OSCE. Non-academic activities as assessed from the Application Form were associated with poorer perFormance. Mature students perFormed extremely well, and male and ethnic minority students perFormed less well. Socioeconomic status and type of school attended were not found to affect perFormance on the course. CONCLUSIONS: The relatively poor perFormance of male and ethnic minority students urgently needs further investigation. Our results carry no suggestion that, other things being equal, widening access to medical school for mature students and those from less affluent backgrounds would result in poorer perFormance.

    Abstract:

    Objective To regulate the filling in Application Form for clinical transfusion,secure transfusion safety,and to decrease medical disputes.Methods The defects of 18411 pieces of transfusion Application Forms from September 2009 to August 2011 in three hospitals surveyed retrospectively.Results Among 18411 clinical blood transfusion Application Form,13 333 copies were completely qualified,with pass rate of 72.42%,fill in defects in 5078,accounting for 27.58%.5078 copies of 8237 defects,with Hb,Hct,HIV,HCV,HbsAg,ALT,syphilis leakage inspection results fill most,accounted for 27.57%.Blood transfusion agreement signed,blood transfusion history,history of pregnancy missing or wrong filling ranked the second,accounted for 24.48%.Patients with blood type,make an appointment transfusion with time,blood components,quantity,unit missing or wrong to fill ranked the third,accounting for 21.17%.Conclusion Fill in Application Form clinical transfusion defects,was the hidden trouble of the disputes,which should be highly valued by the hospital management department,clinical departments,pumping department management personnel,doctors,nurses,and inspection personnel.To strengthen blood transfusion related departments and staff training,improve the professional levels and the levels of supervision and management of using blood,set up and improve various rules and regulations,and make clinical transfusion institutionalized,standardization,improve the quality of the fill in Application Form blood transfusion effective measures,to avoid it produced by a blood transfusion medical disputes were the most powerful protection.
