Estudio comparativo del indicador biológico Velocity con el Cyclesure 24 / No disponible

Debido a que los hospitales tienen una cantidad de material quirúrgico muy ajustada, y a la cantidad de intervenciones, especialmente por la mañana, los tiempos de limpieza y esterilización tienen que reducirse al mínimo posible. La esterilización a baja temperatura requiere control biológico en todos los ciclos (sea cual sea método usado) y en peróxido de hidrógeno se ve-nía utilizando indicadores biológicos (IB) que requerían 24 horas de incubación. La aparición del nuevo IB Velocity que necesita 30 minutos, reduce este tiempo de modo drástico. Hemos realizado un estudio comparando los resultados obtenidos en diferentes ciclos con ambos IB, encontrando una correlación completa

Since hospitals have constrained availability of surgical material and the schedule of interventions is more common in the morning, the time needed for cleaning and sterilization should be reduced to the minimum. Low temperature sterilization requires biological control in all cycles (whatever method is used) and hydrogen peroxide has been using biological indicators (IB) that required 24 hours of incubation. The appearance of the new IB Velocity that needs 30 minutes, reduces this time drastically. We have carried out a study comparing the results obtained in different cycles with both IBs, finding a complete correlation

Effectiveness of influenza vaccination programme in preventing hospital admissions, Valencia, 2014/15 early results.

Preliminary results for the 2014/15 season indicate low to null effect of vaccination against influenza A(H3N2)-related disease. As of week 5 2015, there have been 1,136 hospital admissions, 210 were due to influenza and 98% of subtype A strains were H3. Adjusted influenza vaccine effectiveness was 33% (range: 6-53%) overall and 40% (range: 13% to 59%) in those 65 years and older. Vaccination reduced by 44% (28-68%) the probability of admission with influenza.

[Evolution of the main diagnoses of hospital discharges amongst the prison population in Valencia, 2000-2009]. / Evolución de los principales diagnósticos al alta hospitalaria de la población penitenciaria de la provincia de Valencia, 2000-2009.

The aim of our study was to quantify the hospital demand originating from prisons and describe the main diagnoses as a measure of prevalence, as well as communicable diseases and their evolution during the period 2000-09. Using the discharge records of the University General Hospital under the terms of an agreement that meets the demand for hospitals from prisons in the province of Valencia, we carried out a cross-sectional study of the frequency distribution of diagnoses and their distribution according to personal characteristics. More than 2,415 discharges were recovered, which, after the removal of inconsistencies, provided 2,332 episodes of hospitalization. The average age of the subject ranged from 32.8 to 39.5 years. The most common grouped primary and secondary diagnoses (table 2) were: 1. HIV (34.05%), 2. Hepatitis C (14.67%), 3 º. Drug dependence (10.25%), 4 º. Pneumonia (8.58%), 5. TBC (7.46%). In the last decade there has been a change in the patterns of infection in the prison population. This may be related to: the relative aging of the prison population, the replacement of intravenous use by other non-invasive means, the change of nationality of prisoners and therapeutic advances in the treatment of HIV infection.

Evolución de los principales diagnósticos al alta hospitalaria de la población penitenciariade la provincia de Valencia, 2000-2009 / Evolution of the main diagnoses of hospital discharges amongst the prison population in valencia, 2000-2009

El objetivo de nuestro trabajo ha sido cuantificar la demanda hospitalaria de origen penitenciario y caracterizar los principales diagnósticos como una medida de prevalencia y las patologías transmisibles y su evolución durante el periodo 2000-09. A partir del registro de altas del Consorcio Hospital General Universitario que atiende por convenio la demanda hospitalaria de los centros penitenciarios de Valencia provincia, se realizo un estudio transversal de las frecuencias de los diagnósticos y su distribución de acuerdo a las características personales. Se recuperaron 2.415 altas que tras la eliminación de inconsistencias aportaron 2.332 episodios de hospitalización. La edad media de los sujetos evolucionó desde 32,8 a 39,7 años. Los diagnósticos principales y secundarios agrupados (tabla 2) más frecuentes fueron: 1º. VIH (34,05%), 2º. Hepatitis C (14,67%), 3º. Dependencia Drogas (10,25%), 4º. Neumonías (8,58%), 5º. TBC (7,46%). A lo largo de la década se ha producido un cambio en el patrón infeccioso de la población penitenciaria que podemos considerar relacionado con: el envejecimiento relativo de la población reclusa, la sustitución de la vía intravenosa por otras vías no invasivas, el cambio relativo del origen nacional de los reclusos y los avances terapéuticos en el tratamiento de la infección por VIH(AU)
