RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of two strategies aimed at improving the prescription of antibiotics in the primary care context. DESIGN: Experimental crossed-intervention study, with control group and randomised allocation to groups. SETTING: Two primary care helth districts (Camas and Sierra Norte). PARTICIPANTS: 84 general practitioners for whom computerised prescription data were available, and who worked for over 40% of the working days of the study period. Interventions. In the intervention group, training sessions were conducted and written information was sent out. In the control group, only written information was sent. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: The impact of the interventions was evaluated through the student´s t test for paired data. Variables were the DHD of antibiotics, selection of first-level antibiotics and %RSP of antibiotics out of total pharmaceutical cost. Secondary measurements included duration of the effect of the intervention and description of the group who responded. RESULTS: In the intervention group, the DHD dropped significantly (from 17.4±1.4 to 12.2±0.9) (P<.05), as did the %RSP (from 6.96%±0.6 to 5.19%±0.8), as against the control group. The impact of the intervention lasted 1.5 years, when information was sent at one year from the intervention. The profile of the doctors who responded to the intervention was women aged 46 with MIR (residential) training. CONCLUSIONS: To modify antibiotic prescription habits, training sessions accompanied by written information gives good lasting results. The profiles of respondents/non-respondents depended on sex, age and training.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To define and validate a battery of prescription indicators on the use of anti-hypertensives, lipid-lowerers, diabetes drugs, and insulin, as measurements of family doctors' quality of prescription in primary health care. DESIGN: Transversal, descriptive study. SETTING: Two primary care health districts, Camas and Sierra Norte, Spain. PARTICIPANTS: Eighty three family doctors, 94.32% of the doctors in the study area. DEFINITION AND VALIDATION OF INDICATORS: To construct the prescription indicators, we used evidence found in the scientific bibliography available. To validate it, we analysed its statistical relationship with a series of selected clinical tests, collected from the clinical records. RESULTS: For each doctor, there was a statistically significant relationship between the index of quality of prescription and the clinical quality seen in the records (P=.004). The variables of age, sex, and training fine-tuned the model. CONCLUSIONS: There is a statistically significant relationship between a good prescription indicator and proper control of intermediate health variables.

RESUMO

CONTEXT: [corrected] Diabetes is an important, complex, expensive, and increasingly frequent disease. The objective of this study was to investigate the diabetes mellitus prevalence and evolution in the Adalusian population between 1994 and 2000. METHODS: We used and indirect method for estimating the rate of prevalence of the disease based on antidiabetic drug consumption data at regional level, using the official billing data, and the annual population data. RESULTS: The prevalence estimated for diabetes mellitus in Andalusia was, 4.41%. This prevalence ranged from 2.47% in 1994 up to 4.41% in 2000. Oral antidiabetics/insulin use ratio was 2.31. The study shows an important variability of the prescription habits in diabetic patients in Andalucía. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence observed in diabetes mellitus in Andalucía increased between 1994 and 2000. An important variability was observed among the different provinces.

RESUMO

Objetivo. Definir y validar una batería de indicadores de prescripción sobre el uso de antihipertensivos, hipolipemiantes, antidiabéticos e insulinas, como medidores de la calidad de la prescripción de médicos de familia en el ámbito de la atención primaria de salud (APS). Diseño. Estudio descriptivo, transversal. Emplazamiento. Agrupación de 2 distritos sanitarios de atención primaria, Camas y Sierra Norte. Participantes. Un total de 83 médicos de familia, lo que supone el 94,32% de los médicos del área de estudio. Definición y validación de indicadores. Para la construcción de los indicadores de prescripción nos basamos en las evidencias halladas en la bibliografía científica disponible. Para su validación analizamos su relación estadística con una serie de pruebas clínicas seleccionadas, que se recogieron de las historias clínicas. Resultados. Se observó una relación estadísticamente significativa entre el índice de calidad de prescripción y la calidad clínica observada en las historias, para cada médico (p = 0,004). Las variables edad, sexo y formación ajustan mejor el modelo. Conclusiones. Hay una relación estadísticamente significativa entre un buen indicador de prescripción y el adecuado control de variables intermedias de salud

RESUMO

Fundamento. La diabetes es una enfermedad importante, compleja, costosa y cada vez más frecuente. El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar la prevalencia y evolución de la diabetes mellitus en la población andaluza entre 1994 y 2000. Métodos. Utilizamos un método indirecto para estimar la tasa de prevalencia de la enfermedad a partir de datos de consumo de medicamentos para la diabetes a nivel regional, usando los datos de facturación oficial y los datos de población anuales. Resultados. La prevalencia estimada en diabetes mellitus en Andalucía fue de 4,41 por ciento. Esta prevalencia varió desde el 2,47 por ciento en 1994 hasta el 4,41 por ciento en 2000. La razón entre antidiabéticos orales/insulina fue de 2,31. El estudio muestra una importante variabilidad de los hábitos de prescripción en pacientes diabéticos en Andalucía. Conclusiones. La prevalencia observada en diabetes mellitus en Andalucía aumentó entre 1994 y 2000.Se observó una importante variabilidad entre las diferentes provincias (AU)
