Confluence of suicide and drug overdose epidemics in young Australian males: common causality?2018 •
Young adult (aged 20-34) males experience higher mortality than females, and in age groups immediately younger and older, and with considerable variation in death rates over time. Trends in mortality and the cause structure of deaths among young adult Australian males over 1979-2011 are investigated, with a focus on suicide and drug overdose. Mortality data by age for the period 1979 to 2011 and Australian population figures were obtained from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). Cause of death was investigated using relevant International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes, and mortality by cause was examined graphically over time according to various ICD aggregations. Mortality trends were contextualised in relation to labour market changes occurring in Australia from the 1980s to early 2000s.

Safe Elderly Emergency Discharge (SEED) project: determining best practice for safe discharge of the older emergency patientBackground and Objectives Increasing numbers of older patients presenting for emergency hospital care is a major worldwide concern. The fastest growth is in people aged ≥65 years representing 18% of all presentations. An ED visit for older people is a sentinel health event that can lead to substantial functional decline and adverse outcomes. This age group present with more complex conditions, consume more resources, have longer ED stays, are more likely to be admitted, have long hospital stays, and a higher rate of re-presentation. This will increase with population ageing. Although social/psychological support is often required there is little evidence this occurs in a systematic coordinated manner.SEED aims toDetermine whether current models of emergency care ensure safe discharge and facilitate optimal health outcomes for older patients.Develop a tailored evidence-based care framework applicable to Australian and international settings.MethodsPHASE 1: Review of best practice: Sy...
