sharing/disclosing info when
**Consent from the patient**: patient provides explicit consent for the disclosure of their information, the dentist is allowed to share the relevant information with the specified party or parties.
**Legal requirement**: e.g in response to a court order, subpoena, or other legal processes. Disclose only the minimum necessary information required by law and should seek legal advice if in doubt.
**Public interest:** compelling reason to believe that the disclosure of patient information is necessary to protect public health or prevent serious harm to others e.g cases of serious communicable diseases or instances where the patient poses a risk to the safety of others.
**Safeguarding concerns**: concerns about a patient's safety or suspects abuse, they may be required to disclose confidential information to social services or the police, in order to protect the patient or others
**Clinical audit or research:** done in a way that protects patient confidentiality e.ganonymizing or aggregating the data so that individual patients cannot be identified.
**Sharing information with other healthcare professionals**: involved in the patient's care, such as physicians, specialists, or other members of the dental team. Done on a need-to-know basis, and the shared information should be relevant to the patient's treatment or care.
59
consent not required when
Emergency arises in clinical setting and it is not possible to find out pt wishes
* Tx you provide must be least restrictive for pt future needs
for as long as the px lacks capacity, you should provide ongoing care and if the patient regains capacity then explain what has been done and why

Improvement in lung function 1-9months (cilia regrowth)
**Reduction in cancer after 2-5years (1/2 of active smoker)** – oral and lung
Reduction to never smoker in 20years

outcome
76
case report/ series
Report on a single pt/series of pts with an outcome of interest
disadv - No control used
Can be used to ID new disease outcomes and generate hypotheses
77
case-control stude
Study involving people with a disease and a suitable control group of people without disease, look back in time to a particular risk factor in both groups and can be used to look at potential cause of disease
Confounding bias, recall/selection bias, selection of controls, time relationships
78
case-control study
Study involving people with a disease and a suitable control group of people without disease, look back in time to a particular risk factor in both groups and can be used to look at potential cause of disease
dusadv - Confounding bias, recall/selection bias, selection of controls, time relationships
79
cross sectional study
An observation of a defined population at a single point in time (or time interval)
Exposure and outcome are determined and measures at the same time
Used to estimate disease prevalence and to investigate potential risk factors
disadv - Causality, confounding bias and recall bias
80
cohort study
Used to measure exposure in an established group of individuals that develop disease (outcome of interest)
Estimate incidence and investigate cause of disease, determine prognosis and timing and direction of events
disadv - Controls difficult to identify, confounding bias, difficulty blinding, very expensive/time consuming, large numbers required (difficult for rare diseases)
81
RCT
clinical trial - GOLD standard for effectiveness and efficacy
specification of particpants (inc/excl criteria), control randomisation and blinding
diadv - difficult to design and conduct, not suitable for all research questions
82
systematic review or meta-analysis
compiling data from multiple RCTs
most scietifically sound form of research paper as results from mutliple different papers investigating same topic are collated, noted and analysed
83
absolute risk
incidence of disease amoungst people exposed to agent, assumes no risk to those not exposed
84
attibutable risk
difference between incidence rates in exposed and non-exposed groups, risks attributes to factor being investigated
85
relative risk
ratio of incidence in exposed group Vs non-exposed group
measurement of proportionate/realtive inc in disease rates of exposed groups
makes allowance for frequency of disease amoungst people not exposed to harmful agent
86
risk factor
environmental, behavioural or biological factor (confirmed by temporal sequence), usually increasing the probability of a disease occurring and if absent/removed, reduces probability
87
causative agent
external factor which results in disease in susceptible individuals
88
determinant
Attribute/circumstance which affects the liability of an individual to be exposed or when exposed to develop disease
89
confounding variable
minor variable which is left uncontrolled which may/may not have an effect on results
90
absolute risk difference
difference risk between groups
value of no difference ARD=0
indicating no benefit/risk to either group
* E.g. ARD 2.2 [-1.1 to 3.3] = not statistically significant as it overlaps 0; ARD 3.5 [1.1-6.0] = statistically significant as it doesn’t overlap 0
* When CI overlaps 0 indicates insufficient evidence for a difference between tx and control groups (evidence not statistically significant)
91
confidence interval
Range of values that the ARD will take in population
95% of time will contain true mean
overlaps the 'value of no difference' between treatments indicates that there is insufficient evidence for a difference between the treatment and control group in the population
92
number needed to treat
Number of pts that have to be trated to prevent ne pt from developing the disease/condition/outcome
1/ARD
93
risk ratio is
robability of outcome in exposed group Vs probability of outcome in nonexposed group
**Value of no difference is 1 **
E.g. RR 2.2 [1.1-3.3] = statistically significant as it doesn’t overlap 1; RR 1.5 [0.3-3.6]=not statistically significant as it does overlap 1
Sufficient evidence if CI do not overlap 1

framework
4 strategy types
Framework
1. Identify needs and priorities
2. Set aims and objectives
3. Decide best ways to achieve the aims
4. Identify resources
5. Plan evaluation methods
6. Set an action plan
7. ACTION – implement plan
Upstream policy – public place smoking ban, sugar tax
Midstream policy – dental health support workers, social prescribing
Downstream policy – chair side clinical prevention, smoking cessation services
Common risk factor approach - addresses risk factors common to many chronic conditions within the context of the wider socio-environmental milieu. Oral health is determined by diet, hygiene, smoking, alcohol use, stress and trauma.
100
symptoms of smoking withdrawl
irritability, depression, restless, poor concentration, inc appetite (weight gain), sleep disruption, light headedness
101
e-cigs
stimulate tobacco smoking through vaporised nicotine delivery without burning conventional tobacco
Adv – thought to be less toxic, successful in helping quit smoking as hand-to-mouth habit maintained as well as psychosocial aspect of addiction
Disadv – no long term studies so effects unknown, possible gateway to smoking/renormalisation of it
Only advised to current smokers that are trying to quit
