Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$181,065.00
Summary
Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common cause of arthritis, was estimated to cost $3.75 billion AUD in 2012. It has no cure or effective treatment and its cost is escalating with the obesity epidemic. Education, weight management and exercise reduce pain and slow the disease process, especially used early in disease. TreatOA4life will provide this treatment in a simple easy to access form in primary care, designed to improve OA outcomes in a self-sustaining fashion from initial diagnosis.
Resolving 60 Years Of Uncertainty: Oxygen Saturation Targets In Preterm Infants
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$181,065.00
Summary
New high quality evidence has recently shown that targeting the oxygen saturation of very preterm babies at a level used routinely for many years causes an increase in their risk of death. Targeting a higher range reduces this risk but practitioners have been slow to change their practice. A program will be introduced at several newborn intensive care units which will ensure that those caring for these sick babies will be supported to move safely to a policy of higher saturation targeting.
