    Abstract Objective: We sought to identify out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OOHCA) patients who might benefit from a future prehospital extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) programme in a moderately sized city. We described the 2014 OOHCA data and identified those who fulfilled hypothetical prehospital ECPR eligibility criteria.
    Methods: We identified patients aged 18-65 years in cardiac arrest, where CPR was commenced by paramedics on arrival. Traumatic cardiac arrest and end-of-life needs were patient exclusions. Patients were then included in one of three hypothetical 'ECPR eligible' groups. Patients were included in an 'ECPR eligible' group if they met author agreed criteria. Select patients in refractory VT/VF; pulseless electrical activity (PEA); and non-refractory VT/VF, or asystole with subsequent VT/VF or transient return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), were assigned to three separate groups. Descriptive statistics were applied to each group. Outcomes of ECPR eligible patients who developed sustained ROSC after 20 min of conventional CPR were characterised.
    Results: A total of 206 patients were included. A significant positive association between initial shockable rhythm (odds ratio [OR] 15.32, confidence interval [CI] 5.4-43.2) and sustained ROSC, and PEA (OR 6.93, CI 2.4-19.8) and sustained ROSC, versus asystole was identified (P < 0.001). Sixty-eight (33%) patients were eligible for one of the hypothetical ECPR groups. Twelve (17.6%) of the 68 ECPR eligible patients developed sustained ROSC after 20 min of conventional CPR, with only two surviving neurologically intact to hospital discharge.
    Conclusion: Sixty-three (30.6%) patients could have derived benefit from a prehospital ECPR programme. Further analyses of prehospital ECPR logistics and economics are necessary to ensure that any future prehospital ECPR programme is effective and efficient.

    Abstract Introduction: Appropriate medical treatment can reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Studies have shown that older patients with RA may be treated less aggressively than their younger counterparts, despite evidence suggesting that biologic treatments may be safe and efficacious in older age groups. The aim of this study was to assess whether patient age was associated with biologic treatment for RA in a single center in the United Kingdom.
    Methods: This was a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of clinic records for all patients with RA reviewed over 1 year in our center. Data were also collected on healthcare use in patients aged 65 years and older as a surrogate marker of comorbidity.
    Results: In total, 856 patients with RA were identified, of which 22.8% were on biologic treatment. Patients on biologics were younger (mean age 58.9 years) compared to the mean age of all patients (61.4 years). Of patients aged less than 65 years, 27.2% were receiving biologic treatment, while only 15.2% of patients aged 65 years or older were on biologics. Increasing age was significantly associated with a lower likelihood of receiving biologic treatment. However, in patients 65 years or older, there was no significant difference in overall healthcare use between those on biologic treatment and those not. Patients treated with prednisolone were found to have a greater number of admissions.
    Conclusion: In our center, older patients are less likely to receive biologic treatment than younger patients. Among older patients we found no difference in healthcare use between those treated with biologics and those not, suggesting similar levels of comorbidity. Potential contributors are discussed, but further assessment is required to determine the reasons for this observation.

    Abstract Background: This study aims to identify the proportion of high altitude travellers who use acetazolamide in a way that is likely to be safe, and prevent high altitude illness; and, to identify, assess, and understand the factors that affect acute mountain sickness prophylaxis usage.
    Methods: The study area was the Everest area of Nepal. The qualitative component involved 20 one-to-one in-depth semi-structured interviews. Analysis was conducted using thematic analysis. The quantitative component involved conducting a questionnaire on 50 guides, and 300 trekkers at high altitude. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics.
    Results: Guides had a poor knowledge of prophylactic medication. 25% of trekkers used acetazolamide. 3.3% of the trekkers used acetazolamide at a total dose of 250 mg daily, initiated it 1-2 days before high altitude, and did not miss a dose. Poor knowledge amongst trekkers and guides was the main determinant of such poor uptake and inappropriate usage. Trekkers' knowledge was primarily obtained from guide books and healthcare professionals.
    Conclusions: Poor knowledge amongst trekkers and guides determined poor uptake, and inappropriate prophylaxis usage amongst trekkers. We believe that to improve prophylaxis uptake and use, and hence reduce trekkers' morbidity and mortality, policy makers must deliver trekker-targeted educational interventions in Nepal.
