Introduction to Observational Follow Up

What is/are Observational Follow Up?

Observational Follow Up - The EDIC observational follow-up study enrolled 96% of the surviving DCCT cohort with 94% of the survivors still actively participating after more than 27 years of follow-up. ^[1] Design Observational follow-up of SAVE U (sacrospinous fixation versus vaginal hysterectomy in treatment of uterine prolapse ≥2) randomised controlled trial. ^[2] Design: Retrospective and observational follow-up study. ^[3] 6 years of intensive as compared with standard glucose lowering in 1791 military veterans with type 2 diabetes resulted in a risk of major cardiovascular events that was significantly lower (by 17%) after a total of 10 years of combined intervention and observational follow-up. ^[4] INTERVENTIONS This was an observational follow-up study for which no intervention was made. ^[5] This was a prospective, observational follow-up study in a community-based population consisting of working-age subjects. ^[6] MethodsTRANSPARENTS is a multi-centre observational follow-up study that focuses on body weight, body composition and EBRB during the transition to parenthood. ^[7] RESULTS After the quality analysis, we selected 27 articles (264 patients in total) for the final review, of which 23 were case reports and case series (105 patients), 3 were observational follow-up cohort studies (129 patients), and there was one clinical trial (30 patients). ^[8] INCLUSION CRITERIA This review included randomized controlled trials, replication studies, retrospective studies and observational follow-up studies of Qigong on children with autism spectrum disorder. ^[9] However, if there are no high-grade lesions, the intervention choice is basically limited to observational follow-up with recommendations on life habits like diet, to favor infection control. ^[10] Among 13 asymptomatic patients, the observational follow-up period was (20. ^[11] Methods: This observational follow-up study assessed the virological outcomes of patients diagnosed with virological failure or transmitted HIV drug resistance in 2015 at the adults' outpatient clinic of the Infectious Diseases Institute in Kampala, Uganda. ^[12] Methods In this prospective cohort observational follow-up study, patients who had completed the Tiotropium in Early-Stage COPD (Tie-COPD) trial were followed for a maximum of 3 years, continuing or discontinuing treatment according to their willingness. ^[13] The observational follow-up campaign of the gravitational wave (GW) multimessenger event GW170817/GRB170817A has shown that the prompt gamma-rays are consistent with a relativistic structured jet observed from a wide viewing angle ≳20°. ^[14] 6 years reduce major cardiovascular (CV) events over 15 years compared with usual care? Methods Design Long-term observational follow-up of a randomized controlled trial (Veterans Affairs Diabetes Trial Follow-up [VADT-F] study). ^[15] MethodsNinety-nine participants will be recruited from secondary care IBD centres in the UK into a multicentre, randomised controlled trial (RCT, ASTIClite) and an observational follow-up, and randomised to autologous HSCT versus standard care (ratio 2:1). ^[16] Pts who completed the Wk 64 visit or discontinued treatment at any time and for any reason in the study entered a 4-wk posttreatment observational follow-up. ^[17] Material and method: Prospective observational follow-up of 26 patients who were treated at our Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Service at the Virgen del Mar University Hospital of Cádiz from March 2010 to January 2018. ^[18] In this secondary analysis of the observational follow-up phase of the Vitamin D/Calcium Polyp Prevention Study, participants who completed the treatment phase were invited to be followed for one additional surveillance colonoscopy cycle. ^[19] An observational follow-up study was carried out for 1 year following vaccination. ^[20] Ultrasonography, supported by negative tumor markers, plays a key role in the diagnostic work up and during observational follow-up. ^[21] This 36-month randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled trial with a 10-year observational follow-up study aimed to investigate the long-term effect of herbal formula Bushen Yijing Fang (BSYJF) on fall risk in the late postmenopausal women with osteopenia. ^[22] CONCLUSIONS To the best of our knowledge, the presented case is completely unique owing to the long-term observational follow-up data available. ^[23] Methods Among participants enrolled in the ROADMAP (Randomized Olmesartan And Diabetes MicroAlbuminuria Prevention) and observational follow-up (OFU) studies, a panel of 15 serum biomarkers was quantified from samples obtained at initiation of the study and tested for associations with the development of new-onset microalbuminuria during follow-up. ^[24] METHODS Observational follow-up study of patients provided screening colonoscopy at a free-standing private ambulatory surgery center in South Carolina by 80 endoscopists from October 2001 to December 2014, followed through December 2015. ^[25]
