Full description

Background [Extract from related publication]: The international border between Australia and Papua New Guinea (PNG) serves as a gateway for the delivery of primary and tertiary healthcare for PNG patients presenting to Australian health facilities with presumptive tuberculosis (TB). An audit of all PNG nationals with presumptive TB who presented to clinics in the Torres Strait between 2016 and 2019 was conducted to evaluate outcomes for PNG patients and to consider the consistency and equity of decision-making regarding aeromedical evacuation. We also reviewed the current aeromedical retrieval policy and the outcomes of patients referred back to Daru General Hospital in PNG. The cross-border movement of people from PNG into Australia is associated with an emergent duty of care. Ongoing monitoring and evaluation of patient outcomes are necessary for transparency and justice.

This dataset consists of:

  • 1 SPSS (.sav) file which includes variables for descriptive statistics, patients who fell under the 3rd percentile for age and weight using the World Health Organization (WHO) weight-for-age charts, medical evacuation status and location, outcome variables, TB diagnostics, and high scores associated with patient presentations using relevant Queensland Adult Deterioration Detection Score (Q-ADDS), Children’s Early Warning Tool (CEWT). 
  • 1 MS Excel (.xlxs) file which includes age, whether the patient had a neurological condition, the limitation (‘ceiling of care’) placed on the patient, whether consent to limit the patient’s movement or access to care was documented, whether the patient had an early warning high score applied upon presentation, and the outcome upon discharge.

Data files are also saved in csv. format
