    Abstract Objectives: Assisted dying has been legally available in Oregon in the USA for 25 years, since when official reports have been published each year detailing the number of people who have used this option as well as sociodemographic and information about the process. The aim of this study was to examine changes over time in these data.
    Methods: We collated and reviewed data on 2454 assisted deaths included in annual reports on assisted deaths published by the Oregon Health Authority from 1998 to 2022. Descriptive statistics were used to describe time trends.
    Results: The number of assisted deaths in Oregon increased from 16 in 1998 to 278 in 2022. Over this time, patients' health funding status changed from predominantly private (65%) to predominantly government support (79.5%), and there was an increase in patients feeling a burden and describing financial concerns as reasons for choosing an assisted death. There has been a reduction in the length of the physician-patient relationship from 18 weeks in 2010 to 5 weeks in 2022, and the proportion referred for psychiatric assessment remains low (1%). Data are frequently missing, particularly around complications.
    Conclusions: The number and characteristics of people accessing assisted deaths, and the process, have changed since data collection started in 1998. Prospective studies are needed to examine the relationship between socioeconomic factors and the desire for an assisted death in Oregon.

    Abstract In 2021, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence produced an evidence-based guideline on the diagnosis and management of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), a disabling long-term condition of unknown cause. The guideline provides clear support for people living with ME/CFS, their families and carers, and for clinicians. A recent opinion piece published in the journal suggested that there were anomalies in the processing and interpretation of the evidence when developing the guideline and proposed eight areas where these anomalies were thought to have occurred. We outline how these opinions are based on a misreading or misunderstanding of the guideline process or the guideline, which provides a balanced and reasoned approach to the diagnosis and management of this challenging condition.

    Abstract Background: Euthanasia review committees (Regionale Toetsingscommissies Euthanasie, RTE) scrutinise all Dutch cases of euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide (EAS) to review whether six legal 'due care' criteria are met, including 'unbearable suffering without prospect of improvement'. There are significant complexities and ethical dilemmas if EAS requests are made by people with intellectual disabilities or autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
    Aims: To describe the characteristics and circumstances of people with intellectual disabilities and/or ASD who were granted their EAS request; investigate the main causes of suffering that led to the EAS request; and examine physicians' response to the request.
    Method: The online RTE database of 927 EAS case reports (2012-2021) was searched for patients with intellectual disabilities and/or ASD (
    Results: Factors directly associated with intellectual disability and/or ASD were the sole cause of suffering described in 21% of cases and a major contributing factor in a further 42% of cases. Reasons for the EAS request included social isolation and loneliness (77%), lack of resilience or coping strategies (56%), lack of flexibility (rigid thinking or difficulty adapting to change) (44%) and oversensitivity to stimuli (26%). In one-third of cases, physicians noted there was 'no prospect of improvement' as ASD and intellectual disability are not treatable.
    Conclusions: Examination of societal support for suffering associated with lifelong disability, and debates around the acceptability of these factors as reasons for granting EAS, are of international importance.

    Abstract Objectives: Most clinical teams and organisations have not openly or formally discussed how they would react if physician-assisted suicide were to be legalised. This paper aims to discuss some of the potential challenges of introducing 'assisted dying' into medical care and produces a table of questions and considerations in light of such evidence so as to promote necessary discussion.
    Methods: An analysis of recent quantitative and qualitative studies from jurisdictions where 'assisted dying' is practised was conducted, with particular attention paid to studies which focus on the impact of legalising 'assisted dying' on clinical care.
    Results: 'Assisted dying' can have a significant impact on clinical practice by complicating patient care and increasing clinician workload, potentially causing stress on patient care.
    Conclusions: If physician-assisted suicide was to be legalised as part of existing healthcare, there are many questions that healthcare organisations must consider. Such considerations are tabulated in order to encourage awareness and discussion on the topic.

    Abstract Background: 'Assisted dying' is practiced in some European countries and US states. Legislation suggests that there exists an easily prescribed drug which consistently brings about death quickly and painlessly. Evidence from jurisdictions where 'assisted dying' is practiced, however, reveals that hastening patient death is not so simple.
    Sources of data: This report is a collation of assisted suicide and euthanasia drug protocols published by the Canadian Association of MAiD Assessors and Providers and the Royal Dutch Medical Association, annual data reports from the USA and Canada and relevant academic publications pertaining to methods of 'assisted dying' in the USA, Belgium, Canada and Switzerland.
    Areas of agreement: A wide variety of lethal drug combinations are used for people who want their life ended, and the prevalence of complications and failures in intentionally ending life suggest that 'assisted dying' applicants are at risk of distressing deaths.
    Areas of controversy: The efficacy and safety of 'assisted dying' drugs are currently difficult to assess, as clinician reporting is often very low.
    Growing points: The findings from this report reveal that little attention has been given to the problem of unmonitored prescribing and administering of lethal drug combinations, whose mode of action is unclear.
    Areas timely for developing research: In order to properly assess the efficacy and safety of 'assisted dying', a more thorough means of data collection regarding the drugs used must be implemented and research is urgently needed into their mode of action.
