    Abstract Objectives: A knowledge gap exists around the costs and budget impact of specialist hypertension clinics. This study reports on the cost of providing care in a multidisciplinary hypertension clinic staffed by nephrologist, endocrinologist and cardiologist, which manages patients with suspected secondary hypertension and/or apparent treatment-resistant hypertension. The aim of this study is to provide the evidence required to inform policy and planning care pathways for this patient group.
    Methods: A cost analysis from a healthcare provider perspective using micro-costing techniques was conducted to estimate the direct implementation costs of existing standard practice for the care pathway of patients attending the multidisciplinary hypertension clinic. Sixty-five patients originally recruited for a study of medication adherence in hypertension were included in the sample.
    Results: The total care-pathway cost per patient, taking into account clinic visits, clinical reviews, investigations and MDT discussion, was estimated to be €3277, on average. For the patient subgroups, the average cost was €5644 for patients diagnosed with primary aldosteronism and €1446 for patients diagnosed with essential hypertension.
    Conclusion: There is significant cost associated with providing specialized hypertension care for patients with apparent treatment-resistant hypertension. Given the high rates of nonadherence in this population, it is likely that some of this cost could be avoided with better detection and management of medication adherence in this challenging population. Future studies should consider the cost-effectiveness of this or similar models of care by exploring the benefit to patients and the wider healthcare context of providing care of this type.

    Abstract Objective: To compare the incidence of grade ≥2 gastrointestinal (GI) or genitourinary (GU) toxicity for patients undergoing 3DRT versus IMRT in the postoperative setting for endometrial cancer.
    Methods: Eligible patients were post-operatively randomly assigned to one of two parallel groups in a 1:1 ratio, to have their RT delivered using either a 3DRT technique or using IMRT. The prescription dose was 45 Gy in 25 fractions over 5 weeks followed by vaginal vault brachytherapy. Toxicity was graded according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v) 3.0. Fisher's exact tests were used to test for associations between toxicity and arm. Differences in dosimetric parameters for patients with or without toxicity were tested using Mann-Whitney
    Results: 84 patients with a median age of 62 were evaluable for primary outcome. The median follow-up was 52 months. 14 (35%) participants from the 3DRT arm and 15 (34%) from the IMRT arm experienced acute grade ≥2 GI toxicity with older patients having a statistically higher risk of grade ≥2 acute GI toxicity. 20 (50%) participants from the 3DRT arm and 25 (57%) from the IMRT arm experienced acute grade ≥2 GI or GU toxicity (
    Conclusion: Although IMRT can reduce dose to normal tissue, in this study no benefit in acute GI or GU toxicity outcome was seen.

    Abstract Aim: Many challenges exist in determining true rates of adherence to antihypertensive medications among individuals in a clinic setting. For the first time, we aimed to compare patient-reported antihypertensive adherence with objective evidence using mass spectrometry spot urinalysis in a tertiary referral clinic setting.
    Methods: A prospective observational single-centre cohort study was performed in a tertiary referral hypertension clinic, encompassing antihypertensive initiation and persistence. Patients were referred with apparent treatment-resistant hypertension or for suspected secondary causes. Participants completed a self-reported assessment of antihypertensive adherence and provided a spot urine sample. The presence of antihypertensive medications and/or their respective metabolites was evaluated using high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Patients were determined to be adherent if they demonstrated both self-reported adherence and objective mass spectrometry evidence.
    Results: Of all 105 eligible participants initially recruited, 73 (69.5%) met the eligibility criteria. Only 27.4% (95% confidence interval 0.2-0.4) of participants demonstrated true adherence to their self-reported antihypertensives, despite 75.3% (0.6-0.8) reporting adherence. Greatest medication adherence was achieved with angiotensin II receptor blockers (61%), with calcium-channel blockers and mineralocorticoid antagonists demonstrating least adherence (38%).
    Conclusion: In patients attending a tertiary hypertension clinic, the combined use of spot urine mass spectrometry and self-reporting identifies higher rates of nonadherence when compared to either modality alone. Both techniques should be combined for more accurate detection of medication adherence.

    Abstract Objective: To describe clinical practice experience of
    Context: Accurate lateralization of APA in the setting of PA offers the potential for surgical cure and improved long-term cardiovascular outcomes. Challenges associated with AVS, the current gold standard lateralization modality, mean that only a small proportion of potentially eligible patients currently make it through to surgery. This has prompted consideration of alternative strategies for lateralization, including the application of novel molecular PET tracers such as
    Design: Clinical Service Evaluation/Retrospective audit.
    Patients: Fifteen individuals with a confirmed diagnosis of PA, undergoing lateralization with
    Measurements: All patients underwent screening aldosterone renin ratio (ARR), followed by confirmatory testing with the seated saline infusion test, according to Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guidelines. Adrenal glands were imaged using dedicated adrenal CT.
    Results: We describe the individual lateralization and clinical outcomes for 15 patients with PA.
    Conclusion: 11
