Put out, as a result (5)

I believe the answer is:

issue

This clue is a double definition.

'put out' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'a result' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'as' is the link.

(Other definitions for issue that I've seen before include "Point in dispute" , "Point under discussion" , "Edition of a publication" , "Children, offspring" , "Hot topic; outcome" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
