The Historical Past Around The Selisistat Accomplishments
Comorbidities were also a commonly reported practical barrier to participation, with individuals feeling that either their current comorbidity or related treatments prevented them from attending hospital to participate in the trial. Other commonly reported practical barriers included carer responsibilities, already PARP inhibitor receiving screening, and not being in the area. Box 1 Practical barriers ��I would like to take part but I do not have a car and it is very difficult to get to Papworth��involves train and taxi or two buses and a couple of hours each way�� ��I am being admitted to hospital on December 2nd 2011 for hip replacement otherwise I would have been happy to participate�� ��I have a heart problem and gastric problems and in the last 3?years I have had CT scans and X-rays, and I am going to have another CT scan in Feb this year 2012.
