Effectiveness of multiple health behavior change interventions in reducing symptoms of anxiety in the adult population: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

There is limited evidence regarding the effectiveness of preventive interventions for anxiety disorders. We aim to test the effectiveness of multiple health behavior change (MHBC) interventions in the reduction of symptoms of anxiety in the adult population. A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted by searching the most relevant databases and registry platforms in the area. Reference lists of included articles and relevant systematic reviews and meta-analyses of MHBC interventions that examined anxiety or depression as outcomes were also manually searched. To identify RCTs that evaluated preventive interventions, we excluded studies in which the target population included only patients meeting the diagnostic criteria for anxiety disorders. To pool results, the standardized mean difference (SMD) was calculated using the random effects model. Sensitivity, subgroup and meta-regression analyses were performed. Forty-six RCTs were included in the qualitative synthesis, and 34 RCTs were included in the meta-analysis. Thirty RCTs were focused on promoting healthy diet and physical activity, whereas the other 16 studies also focused on smoking cessation. The pooled SMD was small (-0.183; 95% CI -0.276 to -0.091) but significant (p < 0.001). The effect became non-significant when only studies with a low risk of bias were included. There was substantial and significant heterogeneity between the studies. There is currently insufficient evidence regarding the effectiveness of MHBC interventions to reduce symptoms of anxiety in the adult population.

Utility of PHQ-2, PHQ-8 and PHQ-9 for detecting major depression in primary health care: a validation study in Spain.

BACKGROUND: Primary health care (PHC) professionals may play a crucial role in improving early diagnosis of depressive disorders. However, only 50% of cases are detected in PHC. The most widely used screening instrument for major depression is the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ), including the two-, eight- and nine-item versions. Surprisingly, there is neither enough evidence about the validity of PHQ in PHC patients in Spain nor indications about how to interpret the total scores. This study aimed to gather validity evidence to support the use of the three PHQ versions to screen for major depression in PHC in Spain. Additionally, the present study provided information for helping professionals to choose the best PHQ version according to the context. METHODS: The sample was composed of 2579 participants from 22 Spanish PHC centers participating in the EIRA-3 study. The reliability and validity of the three PHQ versions for Spanish PHC patients were assessed based on responses to the questionnaire. RESULTS: The PHQ-8 and PHQ-9 showed high internal consistency. The results obtained confirm the theoretically expected relationship between PHQ results and anxiety, social support and health-related QoL. A single-factor solution was confirmed. Regarding to the level of agreement with the CIDI interview (used as the criterion), our results indicate that the PHQ has a good discrimination power. The optimal cut-off values were: ⩾2 for PHQ-2, ⩾7 for PHQ-8 and ⩾8 for PHQ-9. CONCLUSIONS: PHQ is a good and valuable tool for detecting major depression in PHC patients in Spain.

Mid-aortic Syndrome in a Pediatric Cohort.

Mid-aortic syndrome (MAS) is an uncommon condition characterized by severe narrowing of the abdominal aorta, usually involving visceral and renal arteries. Most patients are asymptomatic and typically present with incidental hypertension which might evolve into end-organ damage if untreated. Our aim was to review 8 new pediatric MAS cases. A retrospective observational study of all pediatric patients with MAS diagnosis (April 1992-November 2021) was conducted. Patients underwent systematic evaluation (medical and family history; 12-lead electrocardiogram; echocardiogram; angiography and/or computed tomography or magnetic resonance angiography). 8 pediatric patients with MAS were included. Median age at diagnosis was 2.6 [0.2-4.7] years; median follow-up time was 8.6 [6.6-10.0] years. 6/8 patients presented with incidental hypertension, 1/8 with heart murmur, and 1/8 with heart failure symptoms. All patients were on antihypertensive treatment. 1/8 patients underwent surgery and 7/8 an endovascular treatment. At the end of the study period, among the 6 patients that underwent a successful endovascular procedure, 2 achieved good blood pressure (BP) control, 2 acceptable BP control, 1 stage 1 hypertension and, another, stage 2 hypertension. There was 1 death during follow-up. BP monitoring in pediatric patients is crucial for early recognition of MAS. Treatment should be based on the individual clinical characteristics of patients with careful planning of surgical revascularisation, if possible, after adult growth is completed. Our study demonstrates that endovascular treatment might be a good alternative to surgery. Nevertheless, further trials with larger sample size and longer-term follow-up are required to determine the best treatment approach.

Myhre syndrome: expanding its paediatric phenotypic spectrum.

Myhre syndrome is a rare disease secondary to pathogenic variants in SMAD4 gene. It is a multisystem disease characterised by short stature, deafness, joint stiffness, craniofacial dysmorphism, and potential cardiac manifestations. Herein, we report two new paediatric cases of Myhre syndrome who, additionally, presented with mid-aortic syndrome. This confirms and extends the scarce reports describing the association between these two entities.

[The Research Network on Preventive Activities and Health Promotion (redIAPP): a reference network and promoter of primary care research]. / La Red de Investigación en Actividades Preventivas y Promoción de la Salud (redIAPP): una red de referencia e impulsora de la investigación en atención primaria.

The Research Network on Preventive Activities and Health Promotion (redIAPP), a reference network and promoter of primary care research was created in 2003 thanks to the program Thematic Networks for Cooperative Research in Health (RETICS) of the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII). Its creation has meant a radical change in the situation of research in primary care. Throughout its 19 years (2003-2021), different research groups and autonomous communities have participated, and different lines of research have been developed with numerous projects and publications. Despite the difficulties suffered, it has created a collaborative research experience between different autonomous communities with great vitality and with important results for primary care. The redIAPP, therefore, has been a great reference for research in primary care and for the deepening of its area of knowledge. Several lines of improvement are suggested for the future of primary care research.

Effectiveness of psychological interventions in preventing postpartum depression in non-depressed women: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Postpartum depression (PPD) is one of the most common disorders following childbirth. This systematic review and meta-analysis (SR/MA) aimed to assess the effectiveness of psychological interventions in preventing PPD in non-depressed women. PRISMA guidelines were followed. MEDLINE (Ovid and PubMed), PsycINFO, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, CENTRAL, OpenGrey, Australian New Zealand Clinical Trial Registry and clinicaltrial.gov were searched. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) conducted with pregnant or postpartum (up to 12 months) women who were non-depressed at baseline were selected. The outcomes were the incidence of PPD and/or the reduction of postpartum depressive symptoms. The standardized mean difference (SMD) using random-effect models was calculated. Sensitivity, sub-group and meta-regression analyses were performed. 17 RCTs were included in the SR and 15 in the MA, representing 4958 participants from four continents. The pooled SMD was -0.175 [95% confidence interval (CI) -0.266 to -0.083; p < 0.001] and sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of this result. Heterogeneity was low (I2 = 21.20%) and was fully explained by a meta-regression model including one variable (previous deliveries). The meta-regression model and MA stratified by previous deliveries indicated that interventions focused on primiparous women are more effective. There was no evidence of publication bias. Few RCTs had an overall low risk of bias. According to GRADE, the quality of evidence was moderate. Psychological interventions have very little effectiveness in preventing PPD in non-depressed women, although this effectiveness is greater in interventions focused on primiparous women. Further RCTs with a low risk of bias and more effective interventions are needed.

Behaviour at the peritoneal interface of next-generation prosthetic materials for hernia repair.

BACKGROUND: When using a prosthetic material in hernia repair, the behaviour of the mesh at the peritoneal interface is especially important for implant success. Biomaterials developed for their intraperitoneal placement are known as composites and are made up of two different-structure materials, one is responsible for good integration within host tissue and the other is responsible to make contact with the viscera. This study examines the behaviour at the peritoneal level of two composites, the fully degradable Phasix-ST® and the partially degradable Symbotex®. A polypropylene mesh (Optilene®) served as control. METHODS: Sequential laparoscopy from 3 to 90 days, in a preclinical model in the New Zealand white rabbit, allowed monitoring adhesion formation. Morphological studies were performed to analyse the neoperitoneum formed in the repair process. Total macrophages were identified by immunohistochemical labelling. To identify the different macrophage phenotypes, complementary DNAs were amplified by qRT-PCR using specific primers for M1 (TNF-α/CXCL9) and M2 (MRC1/IL-10) macrophages. RESULTS: The percentage of firm and integrated adhesions remained very high in the control group over time. Both composites showed a significant decrease in adhesions at all study times and in qualitative terms were mainly loose. Significant differences were also observed from 7 days onwards between the two composites, increasing the values in Phasix over time. Neoperitoneum thickness for Phasix was significantly greater than those of the other meshes, showing mature and organized neoformed connective tissue. Immunohistochemically, a significantly higher percentage of macrophages was observed in Symbotex. mRNA expression levels for the M2 repair-type macrophages were highest for Phasix but significant differences only emerged for IL-10. CONCLUSIONS: Fewer adhesions formed to the Symbotex than Phasix implants. Ninety days after implant, total macrophage counts were significantly higher for Symbotex, yet Phasix showed the greater expression of M2 markers related to the tissue repair process.

Effectiveness of exercise-based interventions in reducing depressive symptoms in people without clinical depression: systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

BACKGROUND: In most trials and systematic reviews that evaluate exercise-based interventions in reducing depressive symptoms, it is difficult to separate treatment from prevention. AIMS: To evaluate the effectiveness of exercise-based interventions in reducing depressive symptoms in people without clinical depression. METHOD: We searched PubMed, PsycINFO, Embase, WOS, SPORTDiscus, CENTRAL, OpenGrey and other sources up to 25 May 2020. We selected randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that compared exclusively exercise-based interventions with control groups, enrolling participants without clinical depression, as measured using validated instruments, and whose outcome was reduction of depressive symptoms and/or incidence of new cases of people with depression. Pooled standardised mean differences (SMDs) were calculated using random-effect models (registration at PROSPERO: CRD42017055726). RESULTS: A total of 14 RCTs (18 comparisons) evaluated 1737 adults without clinical depression from eight countries and four continents. The pooled SMD was -0.34 (95% CI -0.51 to -0.17; P < 0.001) and sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of this result. We found no statistical evidence of publication bias and heterogeneity was moderate (I2 = 54%; 95% CI 22-73%). Only two RCTs had an overall low risk of bias and three had long-term follow-up. Multivariate meta-regression found that a larger sample size, country (Asia) and selective prevention (i.e. people exposed to risk factors for depression) were associated with lower effectiveness, although only sample size remained significant when adjustment for multiple tests was considered. According to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation tool, the quality of evidence was low. CONCLUSIONS: Exercise-based interventions have a small effect on the reduction of depressive symptoms in people without clinical depression. It could be an alternative to or complement psychological programmes, although further higher-quality trials with larger samples and long-term follow-up are needed.

Expanding percutaneous treatment of mitral valve diseases: Transcatheter closure of mitral valve leaflet perforation.

Mitral valve perforation is a rare cause of mitral regurgitation. We present a case of a 16-year-old patient with mitral valve regurgitation after redo-cardiac surgery for recurrent subaortic stenosis. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a mitral regurgitation with an eccentric jet causing a significant regurgitation documented by the presence of a convergence flow over the hole. This finding was corroborating by transesophageal echocardiography locating the perforation from the region of A2 scallop. Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography confirmed these findings and played a key role guiding the procedure. Typical approach is usually a cardiac surgical procedure based on repair the perforation, but the mitral orifice was successfully closed percutaneously using an Amplatzer Duct Occluder II (ADO II; Abbott Vascular, IL).

Cost-effectiveness analysis of a multiple health behaviour change intervention in people aged between 45 and 75 years: a cluster randomized controlled trial in primary care (EIRA study).

BACKGROUND: Multiple health behaviour change (MHBC) interventions that promote healthy lifestyles may be an efficient approach in the prevention or treatment of chronic diseases in primary care. This study aims to evaluate the cost-utility and cost-effectiveness of the health promotion EIRA intervention in terms of MHBC and cardiovascular reduction. METHODS: An economic evaluation alongside a 12-month cluster-randomised (1:1) controlled trial conducted between 2017 and 2018 in 25 primary healthcare centres from seven Spanish regions. The study took societal and healthcare provider perspectives. Patients included were between 45 and 75 years old and had any two of these three behaviours: smoking, insufficient physical activity or low adherence to Mediterranean dietary pattern. Intervention duration was 12 months and combined three action levels (individual, group and community). MHBC, defined as a change in at least two health risk behaviours, and cardiovascular risk (expressed in % points) were the outcomes used to calculate incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICER). Quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) were estimated and used to calculate incremental cost-utility ratios (ICUR). Missing data was imputed and bootstrapping with 1000 replications was used to handle uncertainty in the modelling results. RESULTS: The study included 3062 participants. Intervention costs were €295 higher than usual care costs. Five per-cent additional patients in the intervention group did a MHBC compared to usual care patients. Differences in QALYS or cardiovascular risk between-group were close to 0 (- 0.01 and 0.04 respectively). The ICER was €5598 per extra health behaviour change in one patient and €6926 per one-point reduction in cardiovascular risk from a societal perspective. The cost-utility analysis showed that the intervention increased costs and has no effect, in terms of QALYs, compared to usual care from a societal perspective. Cost-utility planes showed high uncertainty surrounding the ICUR. Sensitivity analysis showed results in line with the main analysis. CONCLUSION: The efficiency of EIRA intervention cannot be fully established and its recommendation should be conditioned by results on medium-long term effects.

Multiple health behaviour change primary care intervention for smoking cessation, physical activity and healthy diet in adults 45 to 75 years old (EIRA study): a hybrid effectiveness-implementation cluster randomised trial.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a) a Multiple Health Behaviour Change (MHBC) intervention on reducing smoking, increasing physical activity and adherence to a Mediterranean dietary pattern in people aged 45-75 years compared to usual care; and b) an implementation strategy. METHODS: A cluster randomised effectiveness-implementation hybrid trial-type 2 with two parallel groups was conducted in 25 Spanish Primary Health Care (PHC) centres (3062 participants): 12 centres (1481 participants) were randomised to the intervention and 13 (1581 participants) to the control group (usual care). The intervention was based on the Transtheoretical Model and focused on all target behaviours using individual, group and community approaches. PHC professionals made it during routine care. The implementation strategy was based on the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). Data were analysed using generalised linear mixed models, accounting for clustering. A mixed-methods data analysis was used to evaluate implementation outcomes (adoption, acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility and fidelity) and determinants of implementation success. RESULTS: 14.5% of participants in the intervention group and 8.9% in the usual care group showed a positive change in two or all the target behaviours. Intervention was more effective in promoting dietary behaviour change (31.9% vs 21.4%). The overall adoption rate by professionals was 48.7%. Early and final appropriateness were perceived by professionals as moderate. Early acceptability was high, whereas final acceptability was only moderate. Initial and final acceptability as perceived by the participants was high, and appropriateness moderate. Consent and recruitment rates were 82.0% and 65.5%, respectively, intervention uptake was 89.5% and completion rate 74.7%. The global value of the percentage of approaches with fidelity ≥50% was 16.7%. Eight CFIR constructs distinguished between high and low implementation, five corresponding to the Inner Setting domain. CONCLUSIONS: Compared to usual care, the EIRA intervention was more effective in promoting MHBC and dietary behaviour change. Implementation outcomes were satisfactory except for the fidelity to the planned intervention, which was low. The organisational and structural contexts of the centres proved to be significant determinants of implementation effectiveness. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov , NCT03136211 .

Mesh Fixation Using a Cyanoacrylate Applied as a Spray Improves Abdominal Wall Tissue Repair.

BACKGROUND: Tissue adhesives are a feasible option to fix a hernia repair mesh, avoiding tissue trauma of suture fixation. Classically, they are applied in the form of a drop, although novel applications such as spray are emerging. This study compares the use of a new experimental cyanoacrylate (n-butyl) in the form of a spray or drops. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three study groups of New Zealand White rabbits were established (n = 6 each) according to the method used to fix a 5 × 3 cm polypropylene mesh in a partial abdominal wall defect model: control group (polypropylene stitches), adhesive drops group, and adhesive spray group. Morphological, immunohistochemical, and biomechanical strength studies were performed at 14 d postimplant. Collagen 1/3 gene ratio was determined by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: In the drops group, the adhesive obstructed the mesh pores and prevented tissue infiltration at the points of application. When the adhesive was applied as a spray, although more numerous, adhesive deposits were smaller and allowed for better host tissue infiltration into the mesh. The inflammatory response was similar in the adhesive groups and more intense than in the control group. Collagen 1/3 mRNA ratio was significantly higher in the spray than the control group. The mechanical resistance of the meshes was similar in all three groups. CONCLUSIONS: The application of the cyanoacrylate adhesive in the form of spray to fix polypropylene meshes in an animal model had a similar inflammatory response compared with droplet application. Neither application impacted the mechanical strength of the repaired area. An increased in collagen 1/3 ratio was found with cyanoacrylate spray compared with suture, and future studies should focus on this pathway.

Effectiveness of universal multiple-risk lifestyle interventions in reducing depressive symptoms: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Though many studies have explored the association between single-risk lifestyle interventions and depression, unhealthy lifestyle factors often co-occur, with adults engaging in two or more risk behaviours. To date, little is known about the effectiveness of universal multiple-risk lifestyle interventions to reduce depressive symptoms. We conducted a SR/MA to assess the effectiveness of universal multiple-risk lifestyle interventions (by promoting a healthy diet, physical activity and/or smoking cessation) to reduce depressive symptoms in adults. We searched MEDLINE, Scopus, CENTRAL, PsycINFO, WOS, OpenGrey, the ICTRP and other sources from inception to 16 September 2019. We selected only randomized controlled trials, with no restrictions on language or setting. Our outcome was the reduction of depressive symptoms. We calculated the standardized mean difference using random-effect models. Sensitivity, sub-group and meta-regression analyses were performed. Of the 9386 abstracts reviewed, 311 were selected for full-text review. Of these, 23 RCTs met the inclusion criteria, including 7558 patients from four continents. Twenty RCTs provided valid data for inclusion in the meta-analysis. The pooled SMD was -0.184 (95% CI, -0.311 to -0.057; p = 0.005). We found no publication bias, but heterogeneity was substantial (I2 = 72%; 95% CI: 56% to 82%). The effectiveness disappeared when only studies with a low risk of bias were included. The quality of evidence according GRADE was low. Although a small preventive effect was found, the substantial heterogeneity and RCTs with lower risk of bias suggested no effectiveness of universal multiple-risk lifestyle interventions in reducing depressive symptoms in a varied adult population. Further evidence is required.

Neonatal Non-compacted Cardiomyopathy: Predictors of Poor Outcome.

Non-compacted cardiomyopathy (NCM) is a heterogenous myocardial disorder. Although much has been published in recent years, little is known about NCM in the neonatal period. The objective of this study is to characterize the involvement of newborns affected with NCM and to identify risk factors associated with increased mortality. This is a retrospective study including all neonates diagnosed with NCM between 2006 and 2018. Diagnosis was based on echocardiographic findings. Data were collected regarding prenatal history, gestational age and weight at birth, gender, age at diagnosis, left or biventricular involvement and associated malformations, medical and surgical treatments, and evolution. Fourteen patients were included. The median follow-up duration was 34 months (range 1-87 months). The left ventricular apex and lateral wall were involved in all cases (100%). Thirteen patients (92.8%) had other associated heart malformations. Six patients (42.8%) died during the follow-up period. Patients who had biventricular involvement and poor ventricular function presented a higher risk of death. The main cause of death was ventricular dysfunction (5/6 [83.3%]). During follow-up, eight patients (57.1%) underwent surgery for their cardiac malformations, without higher mortality. NCM must be included in the differential diagnosis of neonatal cardiomyopathy. The higher mortality observed in our series is related not only to the high association with congenital heart disease, but also to a greater presence of early and severe left ventricular dysfunction. We did not find that patients who underwent surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass had worse outcomes.

Comparing the influence of two immunosuppressants (fingolimod, azathioprine) on wound healing in a rat model of primary and secondary intention wound closure.

In this study, rat models of wound closure by first and second intention were developed to evaluate the influence that two immunosuppressants for treating multiple sclerosis (fingolimod, azathioprine) have on wound healing. Sixty-three Sprague-Dawley rats were daily treated with fingolimod (0.6 mg/kg), azathioprine (2.5 mg/kg), or placebo (saline). Following 6 weeks of treatment, a linear incision (1.5 cm) or a circular excisional defect (diameter 1.5 cm) was made on the dorsal skin. The treatments were uninterrupted and after 7 days (incisional) or 21 days (incisional, excisional), animals were euthanized (n = 7 per group and time-point). Morphometric (wound closure), histological (stainings), and immunofluorescent studies (macrophages) were performed to evaluate the healing process. For both the incisional and excisional defects, animals treated with fingolimod exhibited a healing process equivalent to that of placebo in terms of collagenization, wound closure, and macrophage response. By comparison, groups treated with azathioprine displayed a delay in healing times which was especially evident in the excisional defect, where inflammatory reaction and collagen deposition in the repair tissue remained active by day 21. These results show that immunosuppressants with a selective mechanism of action (fingolimod) can have less impact on wound healing than their classical nonselective counterparts (azathioprine).

Clinical Validation of the Comprehensive Complication Index as a Measure of Postoperative Morbidity at a Surgical Department: A Prospective Study.

OBJECTIVE: Using clinical outcomes, to validate the comprehensive complication index (CCI) as a measure of postoperative morbidity in all patients undergoing surgery at a general surgery department. BACKGROUND: The Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC) is the most widely used system to assess postoperative morbidity. The CCI is a numerical scale based on the CDC. Once validated, it could be used universally to establish and compare the real postoperative complications of each surgical procedure. METHODS: Observational prospective cohort study. All patients who underwent surgery during the 1-year study period were included. All the complications graded with the CDC and related to the initial admission, or until discharge if the patient was readmitted within 90 days of surgery, were included. Surgical procedures were classified according to the operative severity score (OSS) as minor, moderate, major, or major+. The clinical validation of the CCI was performed by assessing its correlation with 4 different clinical outcomes. RESULTS: A total of 1850 patients were included: 513 (27.7%) presented complications and 101 (5.46%) were readmitted. In the multivariate analysis, the CCI and CDC were associated with postoperative stay, prolongation of postoperative stay, readmission, and disability in all OSS groups (P < 0.001). The CCI was superior to the CDC in all models except for prolongation of stay for OSS moderate and major+. CONCLUSIONS: The CCI can be applied in all the procedures carried out at general surgery departments. It is able to determine the morbidity and allows the comparison of the outcomes at different services.

A personalized intervention to prevent depression in primary care: cost-effectiveness study nested into a clustered randomized trial.

BACKGROUND: Depression is viewed as a major and increasing public health issue, as it causes high distress in the people experiencing it and considerable financial costs to society. Efforts are being made to reduce this burden by preventing depression. A critical component of this strategy is the ability to assess the individual level and profile of risk for the development of major depression. This paper presents the cost-effectiveness of a personalized intervention based on the risk of developing depression carried out in primary care, compared with usual care. METHODS: Cost-effectiveness analyses are nested within a multicentre, clustered, randomized controlled trial of a personalized intervention to prevent depression. The study was carried out in 70 primary care centres from seven cities in Spain. Two general practitioners (GPs) were randomly sampled from those prepared to participate in each centre (i.e. 140 GPs), and 3326 participants consented and were eligible to participate. The intervention included the GP communicating to the patient his/her individual risk for depression and personal risk factors and the construction by both GPs and patients of a psychosocial programme tailored to prevent depression. In addition, GPs carried out measures to activate and empower the patients, who also received a leaflet about preventing depression. GPs were trained in a 10- to 15-h workshop. Costs were measured from a societal and National Health care perspective. Qualityadjustedlife years were assessed using the EuroQOL five dimensions questionnaire. The time horizon was 18 months. RESULTS: With a willingness-to-pay threshold of €10,000 (£8568) the probability of cost-effectiveness oscillated from 83% (societal perspective) to 89% (health perspective). If the threshold was increased to €30,000 (£25,704), the probability of being considered cost-effective was 94% (societal perspective) and 96%, respectively (health perspective). The sensitivity analysis confirmed these results. CONCLUSIONS: Compared with usual care, an intervention based on personal predictors of risk of depression implemented by GPs is a cost-effective strategy to prevent depression. This type of personalized intervention in primary care should be further developed and evaluated. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01151982. Registered on June 29, 2010.

Complex multiple risk intervention to promote healthy behaviours in people between 45 to 75 years attended in primary health care (EIRA study): study protocol for a hybrid trial.

BACKGROUND: Health promotion is a key process of current health systems. Primary Health Care (PHC) is the ideal setting for health promotion but multifaceted barriers make its integration difficult in the usual care. The majority of the adult population engages two or more risk behaviours, that is why a multiple intervention might be more effective and efficient. The primary objectives are to evaluate the effectiveness, the cost-effectiveness and an implementation strategy of a complex multiple risk intervention to promote healthy behaviours in people between 45 to 75 years attended in PHC. METHODS: This study is a cluster randomised controlled hybrid type 2 trial with two parallel groups comparing a complex multiple risk behaviour intervention with usual care. It will be carried out in 26 PHC centres in Spain. The study focuses on people between 45 and 75 years who carry out two or more of the following unhealthy behaviours: tobacco use, low adherence to the Mediterranean dietary pattern or insufficient physical activity level. The intervention is based on the Transtheoretical Model and it will be made by physicians and nurses in the routine care of PHC practices according to the conceptual framework of the "5A's". It will have a maximum duration of 12 months and it will be carried out to three different levels (individual, group and community). Incremental cost per quality-adjusted life year gained measured by the tariffs of the EuroQol-5D questionnaire will be estimated. The implementation strategy is based on the "Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research", a set of discrete implementation strategies and an evaluation framework. DISCUSSION: EIRA study will determine the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a complex multiple risk intervention and will provide a better understanding of implementation processes of health promotion interventions in PHC setting. It may contribute to increase knowledge about the individual and structural barriers that affect implementation of these interventions and to quantify the contextual factors that moderate the effectiveness of implementation.
