Is prediction of prognosis improved by the seventh and latest edition of the TNM classification for colorectal cancer in a single-center collective?
The seventh TNM edition did not provide greater accuracy in predicting colorectal cancer patients' prognosis but resulted in a more complex classification for daily clinical use.
The prescription of cotrimoxazole by both DDs and NDDs was widely irrational. They prescribed cotrimoxazole too frequently, and DDs used subcurative doses to a wider extent. By this prescribing practice, both groups, but especially the DDs, contribute to increasing health hazards, cost and risk of developing bacterial resistance. The method for assessing rationality of drug prescribing was found feasible, and it is recommended that it be further tested and developed.
