 Hospital records may be distorting cancer statistics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Variations in the way breast cancer is registered in hospitals is leading to missed cases and, as a result, may be distorting national cancer statistics - currently a principal means of identifying cancer "fl spots" around the county, according to a study in this week's BMJ.
They found that the recorded date of diagnosis was, on average, 26 days earlier on the hospital database than the date of registration, and 70 patients were assigned to a previous year.
These findings, they say, highlight the important influence of data collection on national cancer statistics, and stress that those who use them must bear this in mind, particularly when attempting to compare cancer incidence and survival in different centres and even countries.

 Christian Today – Christian News > Bible Ban in Hospitals Discussed as Offending Other Faiths
The discussions are taking place between the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, the chaplaincy, infection control and service equality and volunteer service, and are concerning Bibles provided in patient's bedside lockers at the Leicester General Hospital, Leicester Royal Infirmary and Glenfield Hospital.
As Leicester has one of Britain's largest ethnic minority populations, hospital chiefs are considering removing bedside Bibles, which have been distributed for more than 100 years by the Gideons International missionary organisation.
The issue has been raised due to worries that the religious texts could offend people from other faith groups who are receiving treatment, as well as a fear that Bibles may spread MRSA infection.
