[Low concordance between primary care and hospital clinical information]. / Baja concordancia entre la información clínica de atención primaria y hospital.

OBJECTIVES: To measure the diagnostic agreement between Primary Care (PC) and hospital information systems, in order to assess the usefulness of health care records for research purposes. SETTING: Cross-sectional retrospective study integrating PC and hospital diagnostic information for the Aragon population admitted to hospital in 2010. PARTICIPANTS: 75.176 patients were analysed. INTERVENTIONS: Similarities, differences and the kappa index were calculated for each of the diagnoses recorded in both information systems. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: The studied diseases included COPD, diabetes, hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, ischaemic heart disease, asthma, epilepsy, and heart failure. RESULTS: Diagnostic concordance was higher in men and between 45 and 64 years. Diabetes was the condition showing the highest concordance (kappa index: 0.75), while asthma had the lowest values (kappa index: 0.34). CONCLUSIONS: The low concordance between the diagnostic information recorded in PC and in the hospital setting calls for urgent measures to ensure that healthcare professionals have a comprehensive picture of patient's health problems.

Executive summary of the consensus document on the shared care of patients with HIV infection between primary and hospital care.

The current reality of the diagnosis and treatment of HIV infection justifies a multidisciplinary and coordinated approach between Primary Care and Hospital Care, contemplating bidirectionality and communication between the two care settings. The consensus document, coordinated by the AIDS Study Group of the Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology (SEIMC-GeSIDA) and the Spanish Society of Family and Community Medicine (semFYC), was born out of this need. Here, the recommendations of the four sections that comprise it are summarized: the first deals with aspects of prevention and diagnosis of HIV infection; the second contemplates the clinical care of people living with HIV; the third deals with social factors, including legal and confidentiality issues, quality of life, and the role of NGOs; finally, the fourth block addresses bidirectional and shared training/teaching and research.

Increase in hospital care at the end of life: Retrospective analysis of the last 20 years of life of a cohort of patients.

BACKGROUND: There is an increasing need for end-of-life care due to society's progressive aging. This study aimed to describe how hospitalizations evolve long-term and in the last months life of a cohort of deceased patients. METHODS: The study population were those who died in one year who lived in a district in southern Spain. The number of hospital stays over the previous 20 years and number of contacts with the emergency department, hospitalization, outpatient clinics, and medical day hospital in the last three months of life were determined. The analyses were stratified by age, sex, and pattern of functional decline. RESULTS: The study population included 1773 patients (82.5% of all who died in the district). The hospital stays during the last 20 years of life were concentrated in the last five years (66%) and specially in the last six months (32%). Eighty percent had contact with the hospital during their last three months of life. The older group had the minimun of stays over the last 20 years and contacts with the hospital in the last months of life. CONCLUSIONS: The majority of hospitalizations occur at the end of life and these admissions represent a significant part of an acute-care hospital's activity. The progressive prolongation of life does not have to go necessarily along with a proportional increase in hospital stays.

Rational application of the ESPGHAN 2022 recommendations for the follow-up of the paediatric coeliac patient: consensus document of scientific societies (SEGHNP, AEPAP, SEPEAP, SEEC, AEG, SEPD, SEMFYC, SEMG and SEMERGEN).

Coeliac disease is a common condition for which the only current treatment is a gluten-free diet. Adherence to this diet is not always easy and is associated with a reduction in quality of life for the patient and their family. Non-adherence is associated with complications of varying severity. The lack of control at the outpatient care level in a high percentage of these patients evinces the need to improve follow-up protocols and the approach to care delivery with coordination of paediatric gastroenterology units (PGU) and primary care paediatricians. With this aim in mind, the present document was developed by consensus to offer a set of recommendations adapted to our region, based on the recent recommendations published by the European Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN), and with participation of the pertinent scientific societies, including those concerning the adult population, for the management and follow-up of adolescents and the transition to adult care.

[Morbidity due to chronic diseases and their health care in Asturias: a gender analysis]. / Morbilidad por enfermedades crónicas y su atención sanitaria en Asturias: análisis de género.

OBJECTIVE: To determine gender differences in the magnitude and complexity of chronic diseases and gender inequalities in health care in the adult population of Asturias in 2022. METHOD: A cross-sectional population study in people (>14 years) with at least one diagnosis of chronic disease (780,566 inhabitants). SOURCES OF INFORMATION: computer program for morbidity groups (Ministry of Health), Electronic medical record of primary care and hospital. Comparative analysis by sex and age, the mean values of chronic diseases and complexity index (Student's t test and one-way ANOVA), and probability (odds ratio and 95% CI) of suffering from specific chronic diseases, making one or more visits to the hospital emergency department or one or more admissions to hospital. RESULTS: 89.9% of women and 82.1% of men were registered with at least one chronic disease. The mean was higher in women (4.36) than in men (3.22) (p<0.001). Complexity index: men 4.56 and women 5.85 (p<0.001). Results show that women are more likely to attend the hospital emergency department, with an attendance rate of 50% for the diseases cited, compared with men at 29%. The rate of hospital admission is higher in men in 13 of the 14 diseases studied (85%). CONCLUSIONS: Gender analysis can also be applied to secondary sources of the National Health System. Despite the greater magnitude and complexity of chronic diseases in women, there is a higher frequency of hospital admissions in men compared to women with the same diseases. This implies an unequal care profile in the field of hospital admissions that the scientific literature associates with gender biases in health care.

[Attending COVID-19 patients during the first wave of the pandemic in a Medium Stay Hospital: Variables associated with mortality in hospitalized patients in an acute situation]. / Atención a pacientes COVID-19 durante la primera ola de la pandemia en un hospital de media estancia. Variables asociadas con mortalidad en ingresados en situación aguda.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Spain has been one of the countries most affected by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The objective of this study is to describe the characteristics of the patients treated for COVID-19 at Guadarrama Hospital and to identify the associated mortality factors in those admitted in an acute situation. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective observational study of COVID-19 patients admitted from 3/15 to 5/15/2020. Sociodemographic, mental, functional, analytical, clinical, radiological and therapeutic variables were collected. Factors associated with mortality were analysed using a bivariate and multivariate study. RESULTS: Two hundred eleven patients were included: 102 (48.3%) in an acute situation and 109 (51.7%) in the convalescent phase, the median (interquartile range) age was 82 (72, 85) years. The most frequent symptoms were fever, cough and respiratory failure. The 89.9% had pneumonia. An acute mortality rate of 26.5% (27/102) was detected and the associated factors were: respiratory failure (P 0.002), Charlson index (ChI)≥3 (P<0.001), CURB≥2 (P 0.011), low SatO2/FiO2 ratio (<0.001), elevated urea (P<0.001) and creatinine (P 0.036), hypoproteinemia (P 0.037) and age (P<0.018). The deceased had a worse functional situation than the survivors (P 0.025). In the multivariate analysis, SatO2/FiO2 ratio (OR: 2.23; 95% CI: 1.07-4.63; P 0.031) and ChI≥3 (OR: 4.25; 95% CI: 1.06-17.04; P 0.041) were independent factors of mortality. CONCLUSIONS: The COVID-19 patients treated were mostly severe cases. The variables associated with mortality were age, respiratory failure, comorbidity, kidney failure, and malnutrition. Respiratory failure and comorbidity outweigh age as independent risk factors for mortality.

Specific model for the coordination of primary and hospital care for patients with diabetes mellitus. Evaluation of two-year results (2015-2017).

INTRODUCTION: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most prevalent chronicdiseases and has a significant health and social impact. Strict control of blood glucose levels and other risk factors for vascular disease (VD) reduces complications and mortality and is related to the quality of care received. Although care should be interdisciplinary, based on the coordination of primary care (PC) and hospital care (HC), little information is available on the effectiveness of the different existing intervention models. OBJECTIVE: To assess, in a population with DM from a healthcare area, the impact on health, quality of care, and effectiveness in the use of resources of a specific model of shared management of patients with DM (Instrument for Evaluation of Models of Chronic Care in Diabetes Mellitus; IEMAC-DM). PATIENTS AND METHODS: A quasi-experimental before-after intervention study in patients with DM in the Cádiz-San Fernando Healthcare Area (Andalusia, Spain) that allows for identifying the capacity of the program to improve the quality indicators both in the whole population with DM and in that referred to HC. For this, a working group consisting of healthcare professionals of different profiles and care levels was set up. An initial self-assessment was done using the IEMAC-DM tool and, after analysis of the preliminary results, improvement strategies were established and implemented. Finally, the clinical and resource management results were assessed before and two years after the implementation of the model. RESULTS: During the study period, no significant changes were seen in process indicators related to laboratory practices or examinations in the health area. The proportion of patients with acceptable metabolic control [glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level < 8%] was 49% in 2015 and 45% in 2017. The number of admissions related to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and stroke remained constant, but there was an increase in the standardized ratio of major lower limb amputations (1.5 vs. 1.9). Of the 295 patients referred from PC to HC, the proportion of adequate referrals increased from 40% in 2015 to 76% in 2017 (P = .001). In the referred patients, a significant improvement was seen in the mean difference in glycosylated hemoglobin levels (HbA1c; 1.14 ± 1.73%; 95% CI: 0.73-1.55; P = .0001) and cholesterol (11.28 ± 40 mg/dL; 95% CI: 2.07-20.48; P = .012). CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that an intervention based on a chronicity care model adapted to patients with DM improves certain aspects related to the quality of care and the degree of metabolic control. Improving health outcomes will require long-term evaluation and, probably, other additional interventions.

Relationship beetween Primary and Hospital Care in cardiovascular prevention and treatment of dyslipidemias. Derivation algorithm. Discharge criteria. / Relación entre Atención Primaria y Hospitalaria en la prevención cardiovascular y tratamiento de las dislipidemias. Algoritmo de derivación. Criterios de alta.

Effective cardiovascular prevention requires taking advantage of all opportunities for patient contact with the Health Services in order to detect risk factors (CVRF) and global cardiovascular risk stratification (CVR). This particularly involves the Primary Care (PC) services, which must be coordinated with the Hospital Care (HC) in order to make all health resources available to the population. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the contribution of Occupational Health and Pharmacy services. There are hopeful signs as regards the possibility of overcoming the barriers that limit the necessary exchange of information between PC and HC professionals, as a basis for adequate coordination between both levels of care. This includes the implementation of referral and discharge algorithms (in this review this means those related to dyslipidaemias) accepted by professionals at both levels, and currently facilitated by the availability of new corporate tools (mobile, email, virtual consultations). The challenge lies in seizing the opportunity they offer to make their implementation effective.

Flu and VRS 2018-19 Season and vaccine effectiveness against the need for hospital flu treatment in Guadalajara province, Spain. / Temporada de gripe y VRS 2018-19 y efectividad vacunal frente a la necesidad de atención hospitalaria por gripe en la provincia de Guadalajara.

INTRODUCTION: The objective was to estimate the effectiveness of inactivated trivalent vaccine (VE) in preventing hospital flu care (HFC) in Guadalajara, Castile-La Mancha (CLM), Spain, 2018-19 season. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective cohort study (40/2018 to 13/2019 weeks). SOURCES: Microbiology programme; electronic medical history; population census (INE, 1/7/2018). CASES: Population requiring HFC (hospital emergencies and/or emergency observation unit and/or hospital admissions), confirmed by antigenic test and/or PCR. Preventive fractions [PFv(vaccinated) and PFp(population)] and Necessary number of patients to be vaccinated (NNV) were calculated. RESULTS: 228 HFT occurred [cumulative incidence rate (IR)=8.9/104; ≥65 years=65%; vaccination coverage=13% (≥65 years=58%); mortality=9%); maximum incidence in the 6th week (IR=1.7/104) (in CLM, in 4th)]. Highest peak of RSV occurred in the 3rd (in CLM, in the 52th). PFv (14-65 years) was 96% (PFp=58%) and in ≥65, 32% (PFp=21%). NNV=414. As in Spain, influenza virus A predominated, with A(H3N2) being 13% more prevalent (strain not included in the vaccine). CONCLUSIONS: The season was delayed by sustained VRS circulation. The VE was lower than the national one. It is be essential to promote future campaigns to improve vaccination coverage.

Análise do desempenho dos hospitais públicos e privados que atendem ao Sistema Único de Saúde / Analysis of the performance of public and private hospitals serving the Brazilian Unified National Health System / Análisis del desempeño de hospitales públicos y privados que cubren el Sistema Único de Salud brasileño

Resumo: O artigo tem como objetivo analisar o desempenho da rede hospitalar do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) com base nos bancos de dados nacionais do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares (SIH) e do Cadastro Nacional de Estabelecimentos de Saúde (CNES). A pesquisa utilizou um conjunto de indicadores abrangendo a produção de internações, o perfil de atendimentos, a qualidade e o desempenho, associados ao porte dos hospitais e à natureza jurídica. Para análise de dados, empregou-se: a análise da variância com teste de Tukey-Kramer para evidenciar as diferenças entre hospitais públicos e privados; a análise de moderação para verificar o efeito do porte hospitalar; e o modelo Pabon Lasso para integrar os resultados. Estes demonstram que o aumento no número de leitos influencia o desempenho dos indicadores de maneira distinta para hospitais públicos e privados. Hospitais públicos apresentaram ganhos de eficiência de escala superiores com o aumento de leitos e os privados sem fins lucrativos, um desempenho superior no conjunto de indicadores e mais equilibrado nos diferentes portes. A aplicação do modelo Pabon Lasso demonstrou que hospitais pequenos, tanto públicos quanto privados, apresentam baixo desempenho, e evidenciou também que, a partir do médio porte, os hospitais públicos e privados apresentam um bom desempenho. No entanto, cada categoria exibe particularidades em seu perfil de performance, refletindo uma diversidade de práticas e resultados operacionais. Desse modo, o estudo confirma achados anteriores de que o desempenho hospitalar tende a melhorar com o aumento do número de leitos, mas revela também que ele varia significativamente em função da natureza jurídica dessas instituições.

Abstract: This article aims to analyze the performance of the Brazilian Unified National Health System (SUS, acronym in Portuguese) hospital network based on the national databases of the Brazilian Hospital Information System (SIH, acronym in Portuguese) and the Brazilian National Registry of Health Establishments (CNES, acronym in Portuguese). The research used a set of indicators covering the production of admissions, the profile, quality and performance of care, associated with hospital size and legal nature. For data analysis, the Analysis of Variance with Tukey-Kramer test was used to highlight the differences between public and private hospitals, the moderation analysis to verify the effect of hospital size and the Pabon Lasso model to integrate the results. The results show that the increase in the number of beds influences the performance of the indicators differently for public and private hospitals. Public hospitals showed higher gains in scale efficiency with the increase in beds, whereas private non-profit hospitals showed a higher performance in the set of indicators and a more balanced performance in the different sizes. The application of the Pabon Lasso model showed that small hospitals, both public and private, perform poorly. It also showed that from medium-sized onwards, public and private hospitals perform well. However, each category displays particularities in its performance profile, reflecting a diversity of practices and operational results. This study thus confirms previous findings that hospital performance tends to improve as the number of beds increases, but also reveals that it varies significantly depending on the legal nature of these institutions.

Resumen: Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar el desempeño de la red hospitalaria del Sistema Único de Salud brasileño (SUS, por sus siglas en portugués) a partir de las bases de datos nacionales del Sistema de Información Hospitalaria (SIH, por sus siglas en portugués) y del Registro Nacional de Establecimientos de Salud (CNES, por sus siglas en portugués). Para ello, se utilizó un conjunto de indicadores que cubren la producción de hospitalizaciones, el perfil de la atención, la calidad y el desempeño asociados con la capacidad de los hospitales y la naturaleza legal. El análisis de varianza con prueba de Tukey-Kramer se utilizó en el análisis de datos para identificar las diferencias entre los hospitales públicos y privados; el análisis de moderación para verificar el efecto de la capacidad del hospital; y el modelo Pabon Lasso para integrar los resultados. Los resultados mostraron que un aumento en la cantidad de camas influye en el desempeño de los indicadores de manera distinta tanto en los hospitales públicos como en los privados. Los hospitales públicos tuvieron mayor ganancia de eficiencia de escala con el aumento de camas, mientras que los hospitales privados sin fines de lucro mostraron un mejor desempeño en el conjunto de indicadores y más equilibrado en las diferentes capacidades. La aplicación del modelo Pabon Lasso demostró que los pequeños hospitales, tanto públicos como privados, tuvieron un bajo desempeño. También mostró que los hospitales públicos o privados de mediano tamaño tuvieron un buen desempeño. Sin embargo, cada categoría guarda particularidades en su perfil de desempeño, reflejando una diversidad de prácticas y resultados operativos. Por lo tanto, los resultados de este estudio confirman los hallazgos previos de que el desempeño hospitalario tiende a mejorar con el aumento del número de camas, pero también revela que hay una variación significativa dependiendo de la naturaleza legal de estas instituciones.

Tempo de espera no atendimento e internação: satisfação dos usuários e a perspectiva do planejamento e avaliação em saúde / Waiting time for service and hospitalization: user satisfaction and the perspective of planning and health evaluation / Tiempo de espera de servicio y hospitalización: satisfacción del usuario y la perspectiva de la planificación y evaluación en salud

Introdução:A relevância da participação e controle social, promulgados pela Constituição Federal de 1988, garante o exercício da cidadania ao permitir que a população participe ativamente na formulação das políticas públicas de saúde. Neste contexto, surgiram as ouvidorias públicas, com o objetivo de permitir a escuta direta da população, dando protagonismo à sociedade civil.Objetivo:Elaborar um planejamento estratégico e avaliação sobre o tempo de espera por atendimento e internação em um hospital universitário. Metodologia:Trata-se de um estudo ecológico, realizado em junho de 2023 num hospital de ensino no Nordeste do Brasil. Os dados foram obtidos de relatórios da avaliação de usuários atendidos no ambulatório e internação, nos anos de 2016, 2017, 2019 e 2022.Resultados:A partir da análise dos dados foi identificado que há discrepâncias nos índices de satisfação entre os anos estudados. A ausência de detalhes nos relatórios, causa vieses nas pesquisas de satisfação, uma vez que a cada ano é variável o número de usuários pesquisados e o questionário utilizado sofre mudanças nas perguntas, sem justificativa para as alterações. O tempo de espera pelo atendimento e internação foi avaliado e considerado o que obteve piores índices de satisfação.Conclusão:Os resultados deste estudo mostraram que a pesquisa de satisfação com o usuário é uma importante ferramenta de avaliação para a gestão, contudo, há necessidade de um método mais seguro para a execução da avaliação de satisfação. Otempo de espera tem sido uma variávelquefrequentementenão tem atendido de forma satisfatória, sendo necessário identificar e corrigir as causas desse desconforto. Espera-se que este estudo possa contribuir para o fortalecimento da ouvidoria e da pesquisa de satisfação como ferramentas de gestão (AU).

Introduction:The relevance of participation and social control, promulgated by the Federal Constitution of 1988, ensures the exercise of citizenship by allowing the population to participate actively in the formulation of public health policies.In this context, public ombudsmen arise, in order to allow direct listening of the population, giving prominence to civil society.Objective:The study aims to Elaborate a strategic planning and evaluation of the waiting time for care and hospitalization in a university hospital. Methodology:This is an ecological study, carried out in June 2023 in a teaching hospital in Northeast Brazil. Data were obtained from evaluation reports of users treated at the outpatient clinic and hospitalization, in the years 2016, 2017, 2019 and 2022.Results:From the data analysis it was identified that there are discrepancies in the satisfaction rates between the years studied. The absence of methodology described in the reports causes bias in the satisfaction surveys, since each year the number of users surveyed is variable and the questionnaire used undergoes changes in the questions, without justification for the changes. The waiting time for care/hospitalization was considered the one that had the worst satisfaction rates.Conclusion:The results of this study showed that the user satisfaction survey is an important assessment tool for management, however, there is a need for a safer method for carrying out the satisfaction assessment. The waiting time has been a variable that has often not been attended satisfactorily, and it is necessary to identify and correct the causes of this discomfort. It is hoped that this study can contribute to strengthening the ombudsman and the satisfaction survey as management tools (AU).

Introducción:La relevancia de la participación y control social, promulgados por la Constitución Federal de 1988, garantiza el ejercicio de la ciudadanía al permitir que la población participe activamente en la formulación de las políticas públicas de salud.En este contexto, surgen las defensorías públicas, con el objetivo de permitir la escucha directa de la población, dando protagonismo a la sociedad civil.Objetivo:Elaborar una planificación estratégica y evaluación del tiempo de espera para atención y hospitalización en un hospital universitario.Metodología:Se trata de un estudio ecológico, realizado en junio de 2023 en un hospital universitario del Norestede Brasil. Los datos se obtuvieron de informes de evaluación de usuarios atendidos en el ambulatorio y hospitalización, en los años 2016, 2017, 2019 y 2022.Resultados:A partir del análisis de los datos fue identificado que hay discrepancias en los índices de satisfacción entre los años estudiados. La ausencia de metodología descrita en los informes, causa sesgos en las encuestas de satisfacción, una vez que cada año es variable el número de usuarios investigados yel cuestionario utilizado sufre cambios en las preguntas, sin justificación para las alteraciones. El tiempo de espera por la atención/internación fue considerado el que tuvo los peores índices de satisfacción.Conclusión:Los resultados de este estudio mostraron que la encuesta de satisfacción del usuario es una herramienta de evaluación importante para la gestión, sin embargo, existe la necesidad de un método más seguro para llevar a cabo la evaluación de la satisfacción. El tiempo de espera ha sido una variable que muchas veces no ha sido atendida satisfactoriamente, siendo necesario identificar y corregir las causas de este malestar. Se espera que este estudio pueda contribuir a fortalecer la Defensoría del Pueblo y la encuesta de satisfacción como herramientas de gestión (AU).

Adaptation and validation of the Adherence Barriers Questionnaire for HIV Patients on Antiretroviral Therapy (ABQ-HIV) for the Brazilian context / Adaptação e validação do Adherence Barriers Questionnaire for HIV Patients on Antiretroviral Therapy (ABQ-HIV) para o contexto brasileiro / Adaptación y validación del Adherence Barriers Questionnaire for HIV Patients on Antiretroviral Therapy (ABQ-VIH) para el contexto brasileño

Despite significant advancements in antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV, adherence remains a challenge. While Brazil has validated scales for treatment adherence, few assess treatment adherence barriers. This underscores the necessity for validated questionnaires on adherence barriers to identify patient-specific challenges and enhance strategies for ART adherence. This study aimed to adapt and validate the Adherence Barriers Questionnaire for HIV Patients on Antiretroviral Therapy (ABQ-HIV), a 17-item questionnaire assessing the adherence barriers to ART, for the Brazilian context and to evaluate its psychometric properties in HIV patients. A methodological study on the psychometric properties and factorial structure of ABQ-HIV was conducted. The study followed seven steps: consent of the original authors, two translations, synthesis of the translations, expert committee, back-translation, pre-test, and reliability test. A high content validity index (0.93) was achieved with the expert committee. The study sample consisted of 230 adults with HIV, with 37.0 (29.3-45.0) years as the median age (IQR), and 52.2% were male. The exploratory factor analysis with a three subscales structure of 17 items showed good interpretability (Bartlett's sphericity (1167.2 [136]; p < 0.001) and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin = 0.602) and internal consistency (α = 0.76; Ω = 0.76). The fit indicators were satisfactory (χ2 = 89.931; df = 88; p > 0.005; RMSEA = 0.010; RMSR = 0.07; CFI = 0.996; GFI = 0.940; AGFI = 0.907; NNFI = 0.995). The Brazilian version of ABQ-HIV is a potential instrument for identifying specific barriers to adherence to ART in adults living with HIV in Brazil.

Apesar dos avanços significativos na terapia antirretroviral (TARV) para o HIV, a adesão continua sendo um desafio. Embora o Brasil tenha escalas validadas para a adesão ao tratamento, poucas avaliam as barreiras de adesão ao tratamento. Isso ressalta a necessidade de questionários validados sobre as barreiras de adesão para identificar os desafios específicos dos pacientes e aprimorar as estratégias de adesão à TARV. Este estudo teve como objetivo adaptar e validar o Adherence Barriers Questionnaire for HIV Patients on Antiretroviral Therapy (ABQ-HIV), um questionário de 17 itens que avalia as barreiras de adesão à TARV, para o contexto brasileiro e avaliar suas propriedades psicométricas em pacientes com HIV. Foi realizado um estudo metodológico sobre as propriedades psicométricas e a estrutura fatorial do ABQ-HIV. O estudo seguiu sete etapas: consentimento dos autores originais, duas traduções, síntese das traduções, comitê de especialistas, retrotradução, pré-teste e teste de confiabilidade. Um comitê de especialistas obteve um alto índice de validade de conteúdo (0,93). A amostra do estudo foi de 230 adultos com HIV, com idade média (IQR) de 37,0 (29,3-45,0) anos, e 52,2% eram homens. A análise fatorial exploratória com uma estrutura de três subescalas de 17 itens mostrou boa interpretabilidade (esfericidade de Bartlett (1167,2 [136]; p < 0,001) e Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin = 0,602) e consistência interna (α = 0,76; Ω = 0,76). Os indicadores de ajuste foram satisfatórios (χ2 = 89,931; df = 88; p > 0,005; RMSEA = 0,010; RMSR = 0,07; CFI = 0,996; GFI = 0,940; AGFI = 0,907; NNFI = 0,995). A versão brasileira do ABQ-HIV é um instrumento em potencial para identificar barreiras específicas à adesão à TARV em adultos vivendo com HIV no Brasil.

A pesar de los avances significativos de la terapia antirretroviral (TARV) para el VIH, la adherencia sigue siendo un desafío. Aunque Brasil ha validado las escalas de adherencia al tratamiento, pocas escalas evalúan las barreras de adherencia al tratamiento. Esto subraya la necesidad de cuestionarios validados sobre las barreras de adherencia para identificar los desafíos específicos de los pacientes y mejorar las estrategias de adherencia a la TARV. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo adaptar y validar el Adherence Barriers Questionnaire for HIV Patients on Antiretroviral Therapy (ABQ-VIH), un cuestionario de 17 ítems que evalúa las barreras para la adherencia a la TARV para el contexto brasileño, y evaluar sus propiedades psicométricas en pacientes con VIH. Se realizó un estudio metodológico sobre las propiedades psicométricas y la estructura factorial del ABQ-VIH. Este estudio consistió en siete etapas: consentimiento de los autores originales, dos traducciones, síntesis de traducciones, comité de expertos, retrotraducción, prueba previa y prueba de confiabilidad. Un comité de expertos obtuvo un alto índice de validez de contenido (0,93). La muestra del estudio estuvo conformada de 230 adultos con VIH, con una edad media (IQR) de 37,0 (29,3-45,0) años, y el 52,2% de ellos son del sexo masculino. El análisis factorial exploratorio con una estructura de tres subescalas de 17 ítems mostró una buena interpretabilidad (esfericidad de Bartlett (1167,2 [136]; p < 0,001) y Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin = 0,602) y consistencia interna (α = 0,76; Ω = 0,76). Los indicadores de ajuste fueron satisfactorios (χ2 = 89,931; df = 88; p > 0,005; RMSEA = 0,010; RMSR = 0,07; CFI = 0,996; GFI = 0,940; AGFI = 0,907; NNFI = 0,995). La versión brasileña de ABQ-VIH es una potencial herramienta para identificar barreras específicas en la adherencia a la TARV en adultos que viven con VIH en Brasil.

Nursing care for hospitalized older adults - fall accidents versus safe mobility: a scoping review / Atención de enfermería a personas mayores hospitalizadas: accidentes de caída versus movilidad segura: revisión del alcance / Cuidado de enfermagem à pessoa idosa hospitalizada - acidentes por quedas versus mobilidade segura: revisão de escopo

ABSTRACT Objectives: to map the constituent elements of the safe mobility concept present in hospital care for older adults. Methods: a scoping review of 35 articles searched in databases and gray literature - BDENF/VHL, Scopus, CINAHL/EBSCO, Embase, Web of Science, PEDro, MEDLINE/PubMed and CAPES Theses and Dissertations Catalog. No time or language cut-off was established. Results: none of the studies presented a clear safe mobility concept, however its constituent elements involve factors related to patient (behavioral factors, conditions, diseases, signs and symptoms, nutritional status, age, balance, strength, gait quality, sleep), the institution (environment, treatment devices, guidelines, medications and polypharmacy, material and human resources and clothing/shoes) and the nature of the interventions (related to the patient, institution and family). Final Considerations: the constituent elements of safe mobility express hospital units' capacity to guarantee care and protection from fall accidents for hospitalized older adults.

A saúde indígena na atenção especializada: perspectiva dos profissionais de saúde em um hospital de referência no Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil / Indigenous health in specialized care: perspective of healthcare professionals in a reference hospital in Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil / La salud indígena en la atención especializada: la perspectiva de los profesionales de la salud en un hospital de referencia en Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil

Resumo: Trata-se de estudo transversal com o objetivo de identificar a perspectiva dos profissionais de saúde e residentes acerca dos desafios enfrentados no atendimento aos usuários indígenas em um hospital referência no Mato Grosso do Sul, estado brasileiro que comporta a segunda maior população indígena do país. O estudo utilizou questionário semiestruturado online, enviado por e-mail a cada trabalhador(a) no período entre junho e agosto de 2020. As variáveis discretas foram sintetizadas em média e desvio padrão e mediana e intervalo interquartil (nível de significância de 5%). Participaram do estudo 230 profissionais de saúde e 29 residentes. Entre eles, apenas 14,7% conheciam as etnias atendidas, e 60,2% nunca havia presenciado práticas tradicionais no hospital, indicando baixa articulação entre as formas de cuidado biomédico e indígena. Ao confrontar respostas dos residentes e profissionais, observou-se que residentes têm uma visão mais positiva acerca da aproximação com o contexto indígena, sugerindo que consideram importante melhorar essa articulação. Na comparação entre categorias profissionais, destacam-se algumas divergências de opiniões da categoria médica em relação à assistência. Além disso, profissionais e residentes demonstraram sentir algum nível de dificuldade no atendimento à população indígena. Os resultados evidenciam a centralidade do modelo biomédico, o desconhecimento dos profissionais sobre o contexto das comunidades atendidas e a desvalorização de suas práticas. Além disso, contribuem para discussões sobre as políticas de saúde nos diversos níveis de atenção e gestão, bem como na qualificação da assistência hospitalar aos indígenas.

Abstract: This cross-sectional study aims to identify the perspective of healthcare professionals and residents regarding the challenges faced in providing care to Indigenous users in a reference hospital in Mato Grosso do Sul, a Brazilian state with the second-largest Indigenous population in the country. The study used a semi-structured online questionnaire emailed to each worker between June and August 2020. The discrete variables were summarized as mean and standard deviation and median and interquartile range (5% significance level). Two hundred thirty healthcare professionals and 29 residents participated in the study. Among the findings, only 14.7% of participants knew the ethnicities served, and 60.2% had never witnessed traditional practices in the hospital, indicating low articulation between biomedical and Indigenous forms of care. When comparing responses from residents and professionals, residents were noted to have a more positive view of approaching the Indigenous context, suggesting that they consider it essential to improve this articulation. When comparing professional categories, some differences of opinion among the medical category stand out concerning assistance. In addition, professionals and residents demonstrated some level of difficulty in caring for the Indigenous population. The results highlight the centrality of the biomedical model, the professionals' lack of knowledge about the context of the communities served, and the devaluation of their practices. The findings contribute to discussions about healthcare policies at different levels of care and management and the qualification of hospital care for Indigenous people.

Resumen: Se trata de un estudio transversal con el objetivo de identificar la perspectiva de los profesionales de la salud y los médicos residentes sobre los desafíos que enfrentan en la atención a los usuarios indígenas en un hospital de referencia en Mato Grosso del Sur, el estado brasileño que tiene la segunda población indígena más grande del país. El estudio utilizó un cuestionario semiestructurado en línea, enviado por correo electrónico para cada trabajador y trabajadora entre los meses de junio y agosto de 2020. Se sintetizaron las variables discretas en media y desviación estándar, y mediana y rango intercuartílico (nivel de significación del 5%). Participaron del estudio 230 profesionales de la salud y 29 médicos residentes. En los resultados, solo el 14,7% de los participantes conocían las etnias atendidas, y el 60,2% nunca había presenciado prácticas tradicionales en el hospital, lo que indica una baja articulación entre las formas de atención biomédica e indígena. Al confrontar respuestas de los médicos residentes y los profesionales, se constató que los médicos residentes tienen una perspectiva más positiva sobre el acercamiento al contexto indígena, lo que sugiere que ellos consideran importante mejorar esta articulación. Al comparar las categorías profesionales, se destacan algunas divergencias de opinión de la categoría médica en relación con la asistencia. Además, los profesionales y los médicos residentes demostraron un cierto nivel de dificultad en la atención a la población indígena. Los resultados demuestran la centralidad del modelo biomédico, la falta de conocimiento de los profesionales sobre el contexto de las comunidades atendidas y la desvalorización de sus prácticas. Los resultados contribuyen a las discusiones sobre las políticas de salud en varios niveles de atención y gestión, así como en la calificación de la atención hospitalaria a los indígenas.

Presentaron menores puntuaciones en algunos factores del PES-NWI las enfermeras de centros >500 enfermeras, que trabajan en hemodiálisis y >11 años de experien-cia profesional. Las enfermeras gestoras presentaron mayores puntuaciones en todos los factores del PES-NWI. Puntuación media EBPQ 81,05±21,92 (IC 95%: 78,70-83,4). Presentaron mayores puntuaciones en varios factores del EBPQ las enfermeras con menor experiencia profesional, mejor puntuación en PES-NWI y que poseían estudios de postgrado.Conclusiones: Los factores que más influyen en la percepción de las enfermeras renales en España son la experiencia profesional, el rol dentro de la organización, un contexto favorable y la formación de postgrado.(AU)

Objective: To analyze the perception of renal nurses in Spain regarding the organizational environment for evidence-based clinical practice (EBCP), and to determine what professional and context factors influence such perception.Material and Method: A crosssectional observational multicenter study was carried out in 15 nephrology services from different Spanish hospitals and 2 dialysis centers. The Practice Environment Scale of Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI) and Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire (EBPQ) tools were used. A descriptive, bivariate statistical analysis (ANOVA, Kruskall-Wallis) and logistic regression were performed with the EBPQ total score as the dependent variable.Results: A total of 397 surveys were received (participation rate: 84.28%), and after processing the surveys 382 were valid (81.1% of the population): 82.7% were women, with a mean age of 42 years, a mean of 18.2 years of professional experience as a nurse (12.2 years in nephrology), 94.8% were clinical nurses, and 81.9% worked in hemodialysis. The average PES-NWI score was 62.35±15.10 (95% CI:60.78-48.06). Nurses in centers with more than 500 nurses, those who worked in hemodialysis, and those with more than 11 years of professional experience had lower scores on some PES-NWI factors. Nurse managers had higher scores in all PES-NWI factors. The average EBPQ score was 81.05±21.92 (95% CI:78.70-83.4). Nurses with less professional experience the better PES-NWI scores; also, postgraduate nurses had higher scores on several EBPQ factors. Conclusions: Factors that most influence the perception of Spanish renal nurses are professional experience, role within the organization, a favorable context, and postgraduate education.(AU)

Análisis de los procesos asistenciales hospitalarios por silicosis en España, 1997-2020 / Analysis of Hospital Care Registers due to Silicosis in Spain, 1997-202

Fundamentos: la remergencia de la silicosis en españa desde 2007 ha sido objetivada por el incremento de partes de enfermedad profesional. El objetivo de nuestro estudio fue analizar los procesos asistenciales por silicosis atendidos por el sistema nacional De salud entre 1997 y 2020 para una mejor comprensión de la dimensión epidemiológica del problema. Métodos: se empleó el rae-cmbd, aplicando los códigos cie-9-cm 500 y 502 (1997-2016) y cie-10-cm j60, j62.0 y j62.8 (2017-2020). Se aplicaron métodos de estadística descriptiva y modelización por regresiones logísticas y metodología de regresión Joinpoint. Resultados: se obtuvieron 111.325 registros (veinte-cien años), el 4,3% por silicosis como diagnóstico principal (dp) y el 95,7% Como diagnóstico secundario (ds). El 98% eran hombres y el 2% mujeres. La edad media de los procesos por ds fue de 75,1, y de68,7 para los procesos por dp. La mediana de edad aumentó ocho años para los ds y disminuyó tres para los dp. Aunque la carga Asistencial global disminuyó, los procesos en menores de cincuenta años por dp entre 2006 y 2009 registraron una tendencia Ascendente (apc=27,01%). Los procesos por ds mostraron una tendencia ascendente no significativa (apc=1,92%) entre 2005 y 2020.Conclusiones: la tendencia al crecimiento de los procesos asistenciales por silicosis en menores de cincuenta años desde 2005 confirma el impacto asistencial de la remergencia de la silicosis en españa. La carga asistencial asociada constituye un problema de salud pública presente y futuro dada la reducción de edad de los afectados.(AU)

Background: the re-emergence of silicosis in spain since 2007 has been identified by the increase in the number of occupational disease reports. The aim of our study was to analyse the silicosis care processes attended by the national health system between 1997 and 2020 to better understand the epidemiological dimension of the problem. Methods: processes were obtained from the Registro de actividad sanitaria especializada (rae-cmbd), with icd-9-cm codes 500 and 502 (1997-2016) and icd-10-cm j60, j62.0 and j62.8 (2017-2020). Descriptive statistical methods and modelling by logistic regression and Joinpoint regression methodology were applied. Results: a total of 111,325 records were obtained (ages twenty-one hundred years), 4.3% for silicosis as the main diagnosis (pd) And 95.7% as a secondary diagnosis (sd). Men accounted for 98% and women for 2%. The mean age for sd processes was 75.1, and 68.7 for pd processes. The median age increased by eight years for sd and decreased by three years for pd. Although the overall Burden of care decreased, under-fifty pd procedures between 2006 and 2009 showed an upward trend (apc=27.01%). Sd processes Showed a non-significant upward trend (apc=1.92%) between 2005 and 2020. Conclusions: the upward trend in silicosis care processes in people under fifty years of age since 2005 confirms the healthcare Impact of the re-emergence of silicosis in spain. The associated burden of care constitutes a present and future public health problem Given the decreasing age of those affected.(AU)

Morbilidad por enfermedades crónicas y su atención sanitaria en Asturias: análisis de género / Morbidity due to chronic diseases and their health care in Asturias: a gender analysis

Objetivo: Determinar las diferencias según sexo de la magnitud y la complejidad por enfermedades crónicas, y las desigualdades de género, en la atención sanitaria de la población adulta en Asturias en el año 2022. Método: Estudio transversal poblacional en mayores de 14 años con al menos un diagnóstico de enfermedad crónica (780.566 habitantes). Fuentes de información: programa informático de grupos de morbilidad (Ministerio de Sanidad), Historia clínica electrónica de atención primaria y hospitalaria. Análisis comparativo por sexo y edad: medias de patologías crónicas e índice de complejidad (t de Student y ANOVA de un factor), y probabilidad (odds ratio e intervalo de confianza del 95%) de padecer enfermedades crónicas específicas, realizar una o más visitas a urgencias, e ingresos hospitalarios. Resultados: En atención primaria se registraron un 89,9% de mujeres y un 82,1% de hombres con al menos una enfermedad crónica. La media fue mayor en las mujeres (4,36) que en los hombres (3,22) (p < 0,001). Índice de complejidad: hombres 4,56 y mujeres 5,85 (p < 0,001). Mientras que la probabilidad de acudir a urgencias es superior en las mujeres en el 50% de las patologías (hombres 29%), la probabilidad de ingresar es superior en los hombres en 13 de las 14 patologías estudiadas (85%). Conclusiones: El análisis de género también se puede aplicar en fuentes secundarias del Sistema Nacional de Salud. Pese a la mayor magnitud y complejidad en las mujeres, la mayor frecuencia de hospitalizaciones en los hombres que en las mujeres con las mismas patologías supone un perfil de atención desigual en el ámbito de ingresos hospitalarios que la literatura científica relaciona con sesgos de género en la atención sanitaria.(AU)

Objective: To determine gender differences in the magnitude and complexity of chronic diseases and gender inequalities in health care in the adult population of Asturias in 2022. Method: A cross-sectional population study in people (>14 years) with at least one diagnosis of chronic disease (780,566 inhabitants). Sources of information: computer program for morbidity groups (Ministry of Health), Electronic medical record of primary care and hospital. Comparative analysis by sex and age, the mean values of chronic diseases and complexity index (Student's t test and one-way ANOVA), and probability (odds ratio and 95% CI) of suffering from specific chronic diseases, making one or more visits to the hospital emergency department or one or more admissions to hospital. Results: 89.9% of women and 82.1% of men were registered with at least one chronic disease. The mean was higher in women (4.36) than in men (3.22) (p < 0.001). Complexity index: men 4.56 and women 5.85 (p < 0.001). Results show that women are more likely to attend the hospital emergency department, with an attendance rate of 50% for the diseases cited, compared with men at 29%. The rate of hospital admission is higher in men in 13 of the 14 diseases studied (85%). Conclusions: Gender analysis can also be applied to secondary sources of the National Health System. Despite the greater magnitude and complexity of chronic diseases in women, there is a higher frequency of hospital admissions in men compared to women with the same diseases. This implies an unequal care profile in the field of hospital admissions that the scientific literature associates with gender biases in health care.(AU)
