RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Medical guidelines summarize evidence based knowledge and give helpful recommendations for diagnostics and therapy in daily practice. Most Swiss medical societies therefore adapt international guidelines for the Swiss setting. In primary care this adaption must not only take into account the specific Swiss healthcare system, but also the specific setting of primary care, which is characterized by a low prevalence of most diseases as well as by chronic conditions and multimorbidity. Exactly these multimorbid patients are underrepresented in the studies, which underline the current guidelines of medical societies. The institute of primary care at the university of Zurich, IHAMZ, therefore creates evidence based guidelines according to international established quality criteria for the Swiss primary care setting.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Due to their advantageous benefit-risk-profile, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are preferred over vitamin-K-antagonists for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation as well as therapy and secondary prevention of venous thromboembolism. This guideline provides information on the practical use of DOACs, their advantages and disadvantages and limitations. It is based on recommendations from international guidelines (ESC, EHRA, DGA) and adapts them for the general practitioner setting in Switzerland.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Although there is a strong relationship between depression, chronic pain, and physical activity, there are few findings regarding the prevalence and predictors of depression in patients with osteoarthritis (OA). The goal of the present study was to assess the prevalence and severity of depression in a large sample of patients with OA and to reveal predictors of depression. METHODS: Patients were approached consecutively in 75 general practices. Of 1,250 distributed questionnaires, 1,021 were returned and analyzed. Besides sociodemographic data, medication and comorbidities, depression, and arthritis were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and the Arthritis Impact Measurement Scale. A stepwise multiple linear regression analysis with the PHQ-9 score as the dependent variable was performed. RESULTS: On the PHQ-9, 19.76% of men and 19.16% of women achieved a score of >or=15, indicating at least a moderately severe depression. Significant sex differences could not be revealed. The strongest predictor for depression severity was perceived pain (beta = 0.243, P < 0.001) and few social contacts (beta = 0.218, P < 0.001). Further predictors were physical limitation of the lower body (beta = 0.157, P < 0.001) and upper body (beta = 0.163, P < 0.001), age (beta = -0.168, P < 0.001), and body mass index (beta = 0.080, P = 0.020). CONCLUSION: These findings suggest an increased prevalence of depression among patients with OA and emphasize the need for recognition and appropriate treatment. Most of the revealed predictors are influenceable and should be potential targets in a comprehensive treatment of OA to interrupt the vicious circle of pain, physical limitation, and depression.
