What is not being achieved with state-of-the-art interventions is the unavoidable burden that identifies the BJD research agenda (impact reduced with the application of private and government resources). What is not being achieved in routine practice is the avoidable burden that identifies the BJD political agenda (impact reduced with the application of state-of-the-art interventions as well as with more health care resources and/or higher governmental priority).
