Randomised controlled trial comparing hospital at home care with inpatient hospital care. I: three month follow up of health outcomes

Objectives: To compare hospital at home care with inpatient hospital care in terms of patient outcomes.

Quantitative analysis of chromosomal CGH in human breast tumors associates copy number abnormalities with p53 status and patient survival

We present a general method for rigorously identifying correlations between variations in large-scale molecular profiles and outcomes and apply it to chromosomal comparative genomic hybridization data from a set of 52 breast tumors. We identify two loci where copy number abnormalities are correlated with poor survival outcome (gain at 8q24 and loss at 9q13). We also identify a relationship between abnormalities at two loci and the mutational status of p53. Gain at 8q24 and loss at 5q15-5q21 are linked with mutant p53. The 9q and 5q losses suggest the possibility of gene products involved in breast cancer progression. The analytical techniques are general and also are applicable to the analysis of array-based expression data.
