Mashup Score: 0Racism and the 2023 Australian constitutional referendum - 2 year(s) ago
On Oct 14, 2023, Australians will vote in a national referendum. A Yes vote will change the Australian Constitution to acknowledge 60 millennia of Indigenous history and establish an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament and the executive Government. The referendum honours the current Australian Government’s commitment to implement the 2017 Uluru Statement from the Heart, which calls for a Voice, Treaty, and Truth telling.1 The statement was the culmination of a nationwide consultative process, involving more than 1200 Indigenous Australians across 12 regional dialogues.

Mashup Score: 2Blowing the whistle on mixed gender hospital rooms in Australia and New Zealand: a human rights issue - 2 year(s) ago
The practice of placing men and women in the same hospital room (mixed gender rooms) has been prohibited in the UK National Health Service for over a decade. However, recent research demonstrates that the practice is common and increasing in a major New Zealand public hospital. Reports and complaints show that the practice also occurs in Australia. We argue that mixed gender rooms violate the fundamental human rights of personal security and dignity. The high rates of cognitive impairment, sensory impairment and frailty in hospital wards exacerbates the risk for these violations and subsequent harm. We argue for the adoption of specific national policies prohibiting mixed gender rooms and public reporting of breaches. Importantly, these guidelines can be adopted without compromising the rights of gender minorities. In the long term, hospitals should be built with single occupancy rooms.

Mashup Score: 0Call to ban mixed-gender hospital rooms - 2 year(s) ago
University of Otago academics say New Zealand needs to immediately ban the practice of men and women sharing hospital rooms. In a paper out today they argue mixed hospital rooms undermine patient security and dignity. They say mixed gender rooms are happening in a major New Zealand hospital and the practice is increasing. Mixed gender rooms have been banned in the United Kingdom since 2010 and there have been attempts to prohibit the practice in some Australian states. The paper’s lead author is Dr Cindy Towns.

Mashup Score: 23Socioeconomic disparities in the management and outcomes of acute myocardial infarction - 2 year(s) ago
Background Patients from lower socioeconomic status areas have poorer outcomes following acute myocardial infarction (AMI); however, how ethnicity modifies such socioeconomic disparities is unclear. Methods Using the UK Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project (MINAP) registry, we divided 370 064 patients with AMI into quintiles based on Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) score, comprising seven domains including income, health, employment and education. We compared white and ‘ethnic-minority’ patients, comprising Black, Asian and mixed ethnicity patients (as recorded in MINAP); further analyses compared the constituents of the ethnic-minority group. Logistic regression models examined the role of the IMD, ethnicity and their interaction on the odds of in-hospital mortality. Results More patients from the most deprived quintile (Q5) were from ethnic-minority backgrounds (Q5; 15% vs Q1; 4%). In-hospital mortality (OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.19, p=0.025) and major adverse cardiovascul
