“…There have been previous studies looking at the level of agreement or otherwise between these two methods. 57 We opted to ask REMCARE study participants to recall their type and frequency of contacts as a less intensive research method than interrogation of patient records. This triangulation substudy was designed to check the level of agreement or otherwise of participant recall with their GP records.…”

NIHR Health Technology Assessment programmeThe Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service' . The HTA programme is needs led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of projects. Fi...

“…Previous research has highlighted methodological limitations in the use of medical record reviews, including variations in accuracy or the amount of detail provided 20 and the risk of underestimating figures for consultations as not all are recorded in case notes. 7 However, one study comparing GP records and patient self-report questionnaires found similar figures for the mean number of consultations in both sources.…”

BackgroundPrevious studies have reported differing rates of consultation with GPs prior to suicide. Patients with a psychiatric history have higher rates of consultation and consult closer to the time of their death. AimTo investigate the frequency and nature of general practice consultations in the year before suicide for patients in current, or recent, contact with secondary mental health services. Design of studyRetrospective case-note study and semi-structured interviews. SettingGeneral practices in the northwest of England. MethodGeneral practice data were obtained by a retrospective review of medical records (n = 247) and semistructured interviews with GPs (n = 159). ResultsGP records were reviewed in 247 of the 286 cases (86%). Overall, 91% of individuals (n = 224) consulted their GP on at least one occasion in the year before death. The median number of consultations was 7 (interquartile range = 3-10). Interviews were carried out with GPs with regard to 159 patients. GPs reported concerns about their patient's safety in 43 (27%) cases, but only 16% of them thought that the suicide could have been prevented. Agreement between GPs and mental health teams regarding risk of suicide was poor. Both sets of clinicians rated moderate to high levels of risk in only 3% of cases for whom information was available (n = 139) (overall κ = 0.024). ConclusionConsultation prior to suicide is common but suicide prevention in primary care is challenging. Possible strategies might include examining the potential benefits of risk assessment and collaborative working between primary and secondary care.
