In fact, stress during preg... | 1.533794 | 1,024 | 1,023 |

Moving to a new house is a beautiful experience for a family. However, with a baby, everything is much more complicated. Babies are very sensitive and have special needs that need to be addressed. Combine this fact and the physical demands of travelling, disaster can be brewing. Because of this, family who is planning ... | 1.560551 | 995 | 993 |

Moreover, screening tests which are repeated regularly (e.g. faecal tests) impact on the eligible population, since people diagnosed with cancer or adenoma(s) are no longer eligible to be invited for screening. Thus consideration needs to be given to capacity requirements immediately upon programme implementation and ... | 1.476438 | 1,024 | 1,023 |

Since FIT-based screening was considered the optimal option in terms of cost-effectiveness, health service requirements associated with alternative scenarios for implementing FIT-screening were also considered. The two main alternative implementation a... | 1.457904 | 1,024 | 1,023 |

As a consequence of the numbers of colonoscopies, more individuals would suffer adverse events with screening based on FIT, than with screening ... | 1.588988 | 1,024 | 1,023 |
based on gFOBT (with FIT as the second-line test in those who test weakly positive) or FSIG. FIT-based screening will generate demand for 11,000-15,000 additional colonoscopies annually in Ireland. In Ireland, in 2008, 44,000 publically-funded colonoscopies were performed, 2,000 of these under the National Treatment P... | 1.608082 | 1,024 | 1,023 |
51% of almost 10,000 Dublin residents invited to complete a FIT did so [66], suggesting the base-case estimate may be reasonably realistic. For FSIG, there was no local data to inform what level of uptake might be realistic.
