A general practice view of cardiovascular disease and diabetes in Australia
This report provides a snapshot of general practice care of cardiovascular conditions, diabetes and some related risk behaviours. It is based on the Bettering the Evaluation and Care of Health (BEACH) program, a study of general practice activity in Australia, for the period April 1998 - March 1999. The data in this report represent a baseline against which future patterns in general practice can be compared and, together with other information, will help to interpret trends in cardiovascular disease incidence. These data may also be useful in the development of guidelines for general practice care of patients with cardiovascular conditions and diabetes, and will help to guide the allocation of resources to improve practice.
Diabetes as a cause of death, Australia, 1997 and 1998
This is the first comprehensive national report on diabetes mortality that examines diabetes as an associated cause of death as well as the underlying cause of death. It presents data for Australia and each State and Territory, and for special population groups such as Indigenous Australians, people living in rural and remote areas of Australia, and people who are at a socioeconomic disadvantage. It is a valuable resource for policy makers, health professionals, researchers, and those interested in knowing the extent to which diabetes contributes to mortality in Australia. This report is the first in the Diabetes Series.
