"proformae" - мн.ч. от "proforma", а "proforma" может быть, напр., синонимом "data sheet" или просто "бланка для заполнения"...

AIM: The primary objective was to assess the standard of new-patient referral communications to the Periodontology Department of a teaching hospital and evaluate any differences in referral quality between referrals that used a standardised proforma and conventional letters. Secondary objectives were to evaluate the potential influence on referral performance of age, postgraduate qualifications and country of qualification of the referring practitioners. DESIGN: A retrospective analysis of a randomised sample of all referral letters and proformae received during a nine-month period. SETTING: Letters and referral proformae received by the Periodontal Department of the teaching hospital between 1 January and 30 September 1995 were surveyed. METHODS: An objective Categorisation System for Periodontal Referral Quality (CSPRQ) was devised and tested for inter- and intra-examiner reproducibility. The referral communications in the random sample were then categorised for quality. The year, country of qualification (UK or non-UK) and possession or otherwise of postgraduate qualifications for each of the referring dentists was ascertained from the Dentists' Register. A Standard Normal Deviants (SND), or Z-test was applied to the resulting data. OUTCOME MEASURES: Acceptability or unacceptability of referral letters and proformae, related to the age (assessed by year of qualification), country of qualification and possession or otherwise of postgraduate qualifications. RESULTS: A random sample of 378 referral communications (from a total of 2663) was analysed. Sixty-three of the random sample were referral proformae. The use of the referral proforma was associated with a highly significantly better (P < 0.01) referral performance, than the use of referral letters. There was a trend for referrals from the small numbers of practitioners who were Fellows in Dental Surgery or Masters of Science to be better than those from other practitioners. There was also a trend for use of the referral proforma to enhance the referral performance of practitioners who had been qualified for more than 20 years. Use of the referral proforma highly significantly (P < 0.01) improved the quality of referrals from non-UK qualified practitioners. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, the quality of periodontal referrals was associated for the better with the use of a referral proforma.

Farm mechanization has resulted in extensive use of wheat threshers on Indian farms. It has also increased agricultural injuries. A prospective study was undertaken for analysis of wheat thresher agricultural injuries and their remedial measures. Fifty two patients presenting with thresher injuries during the wheat harvesting season of March to June, 2003 were studied. A study-specific **14-point proforma** was prepared to gather all possible information from site of injury to hospital records. Injuries were mostly of the upper limb and amputations accounted for most of these. Poor light arrangements, unskilled workers, drug / alcohol abuse, fatigue, poor designing and lack of orientation to work on these machines were the contributory factors to such injuries. The analysis emphasizes that the need of the hour is to decrease wheat thresher injuries through specific preventive approaches like improved designing, education, legislation, compensation and surveillance programmes.
