RESUMO

Introducción: El objetivo es evaluar la eficacia y seguridad de los neuroestimuladores periféricos del ganglio esfenopalatino (GEP) para el tratamiento de la cefalea en racimos crónica refractaria al tratamiento.DesarrolloRevisión sistemática de la literatura científica. Se identificaron estudios mediante una búsqueda en diferentes bases de datos. Las estrategias de búsqueda se realizaron hasta el 31 de octubre de 2016, incluyendo ensayos clínicos, revisiones sistemáticas o metaanálisis, informes de evaluación de tecnologías sanitarias y guías de práctica clínica que recogieran medidas de eficacia/efectividad o efectos adversos asociados al tratamiento. Se excluyeron estudios de cohortes, casos y controles, series de casos, revisiones narrativas, cartas al director, artículos de opinión, editoriales y estudios duplicados o desfasados por estudios posteriores de la misma institución. Respecto a la eficacia, los resultados son positivos tras la estimulación del GEP en relación con el alivio de dolor, el número de episodios, el uso de la medicación o la calidad de vida del paciente. En relación con la seguridad, hay un número importante de efectos adversos en los primeros 30 días de la intervención y en algunos pacientes fue necesaria la retirada del dispositivo. Los datos de seguimiento son a corto plazo y escasos.ConclusionesLos resultados resultan prometedores a pesar de que la evidencia disponible es limitada. Consideramos fundamental continuar con la investigación sobre la seguridad y eficacia de los neuroestimuladores del GEP en la cefalea en racimos crónica. En aquellos casos en que pueda estar indicada la intervención, el tratamiento debería realizarse supervisado en un estudio de monitorización. (AU)


Introduction: This study aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of peripheral neurostimulation of the sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) in the treatment of refractory chronic cluster headache.DevelopmentVarious medical databases were used to perform a systematic review of the scientific literature. The search for articles continued until 31 October 2016, and included clinical trials, systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses, health technology assessment reports, and clinical practice guidelines that included measurements of efficiency/effectiveness or adverse effects associated with the treatment. The review excluded cohort studies, case-control studies, case series, literature reviews, letters to the editor, opinion pieces, editorials, and studies that had been duplicated or outdated by later publications from the same institution. Regarding effectiveness, we found that SPG stimulation had positive results for pain relief, attack frequency, medication use, and patients’ quality of life. In the results regarding safety, we found a significant number of adverse events in the first 30 days following the intervention. Removal of the device was necessary in some patients. Little follow-up data, and no long-term data, is available.ConclusionsThese results are promising, despite the limited evidence available. We consider it essential for research to continue into the safety and efficacy of SPG stimulation for patients with refractory chronic cluster headache. In cases where this intervention may be indicated, treatment should be closely monitored. (AU)

RESUMO

Contexto: Nuevas alternativas terapéuticas pueden mejorar la eficacia y seguridad del tratamiento del cáncer de próstata. Objetivo. Evaluar si la radioterapia hipofraccionada conlleva mejor eficacia y seguridad en el tratamiento del cáncer de próstata. Adquisición de la evidencia Revisión sistemática de la literatura con búsqueda en Pubmed, Cochrane Libarry, CRD, ClinicalTrials y Euroscan, recogiéndose indicadores de efectividad y seguridad. Síntesis de la evidencia: Se incluyeron 2 revisiones sistemáticas y un ensayo clínico. En relación con la eficacia existe una gran heterogeneidad entre los estudios, y no se encuentran resultados concluyentes de la superioridad de la opción hipofraccionada sobre la normofraccionada. En relación con la seguridad no se encuentran diferencias significativas en la aparición de complicaciones genitourinarias agudas entre ambos tratamientos. Sin embargo, una de las revisiones encuentra más complicaciones gastrointestinales agudas en los pacientes tratados con radioterapia hipofraccionada. En las complicaciones a largo plazo no se encuentran diferencias significativas según el tipo de radioterapia utilizada, aunque los estudios presentan limitaciones. Conclusiones: Hasta el momento no existen resultados concluyentes que demuestren que la radioterapia hipofraccionada es más eficaz o segura que la normofraccionada en el tratamiento del cáncer de próstata localizado


Context: New therapeutic alternatives can improve the safety and efficacy of prostate cancer treatment. Objectives: To assess whether hypofractionated radiation therapy results in better safety and efficacy in the treatment of prostate cancer. Acquisition of evidence: Systematic review of the literature through searches on PubMed, Cochrane Library, CRD, ClinicalTrials and EuroScan, collecting indicators of safety and efficacy. Synthesis of the evidence: We included 2 systematic reviews and a clinical trial. In terms of efficacy, there is considerable heterogeneity among the studies, and no conclusive results were found concerning the superiority of the hypofractionated option over the normal fractionated option. In terms of safety, there were no significant differences in the onset of acute genitourinary complications between the 2 treatments. However, one of the reviews found more acute gastrointestinal complications in patients treated with hypofractionated radiation therapy. There were no significant differences in long-term complications based on the type of radiation therapy used, although the studies did have limitations. Conclusions: To date, there are no conclusive results that show that hypofractionated radiation therapy is more effective or safer than normal fractionated radiation therapy in the treatment of localized prostate cancer

RESUMO

AIM: The aim of this study was to present the results from the Monitoring Use Programme (MUP) for endovascular repair (ER) of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) using stent grafts in Spain, carried out to determine the procedure's effectiveness and safety. METHODS: This was a follow-up study carried out through a multicentric-case registry between 2001-2003. Variables were grouped into: 1) general information, 2) postoperative period and 3) follow-up period. RESULTS: The study enrolled 740 cases (97% males), from 32 hospitals. Mean age of patients was 72.7+/-7.3 years. Mean AAA diameter was 59.5+/-13.7 mm. Forty-seven percent of patients required additional intervention procedures; 19% patients presented intervention complications (53% were endoleaks). The endovascular intervention could not be completed in 6 patients, and in 2 patients the operation was changed to conventional surgery; 24% patients suffered, mostly minor, postoperative complications. Between 4-24 months, follow-up was normal in 81-85% cases with the most common complication being endoleaks (7%). After 24 months, and especially after 37, reinterventions and complications, in particular angulation and stent migration, increased, mainly associated to the Vanguard device. After 37 months, an increase in AAA size was observed. Among patients with preoperative AAA<50 mm, there was a greater proportion of individuals requiring additional procedures (60% vs 41%, P<0.01), suffering postoperative complications (26% vs 24%), and presenting more leaks (71% vs 52%), than among patients with AAA >or= 50 mm. CONCLUSIONS: ER of AAA shows favourable results in the short/medium term with regards to procedure safety and effectiveness. The appearance of some complications and increase in AAA size 2-3 years after ER raises the need for caution. Care should be taken when considering ER of small AAA.

RESUMO

Fundamento: La mamografía de cribado es el procedimientomás efectivo para la detección precoz del cáncer de mama. El objetivodel presente estudio es conocer las diferencias en los factores relacionadoscon el uso de mamografía en 1994 y en 2000 en las mujeresespañolas de 40-70 años, y en aquéllas con al menos una mamografíaen los dos años previos.Método: Comparación de los resultados de dos encuestas realizadasen 1994 y en 2000 en sendas muestras de mujeres representativasde las mujeres españolas de 40-70 años (3.218 en 1994 y 2.409en 2000). Se analizaron variables sociodemográficas, socio-sanitariasy de actitudes e información de la mujer.Resultados: De 1994 a 2000 se encuentran diferencias estadísticamentesignificativas en las actitudes, destacando la intención dehacerse una mamografía en el futuro (96% en 2000 vs 79% en 1994)(p<0,0001). El porcentaje de realización de la prueba en el grupo de51-65 años es de 59% en 2000 vs 50% en 1994.Conclusiones: El perfil de las mujeres españolas ha cambiado de1994 a 2000, aunque las mujeres que se habían realizado una mamografíapresentan características sociodemográficas y socio-sanitariassimilares. No obstante, en el año 2000 la mamografía se realiza enmayor medida en el grupo de 51-65 años de edad y las mujeres muestranactitudes más positivas ante la mamografía


Background: The screening mammography is the most highlyeffective procedure for early breast cancer detection. This study isaimed at ascertaining the differences in the factors related to Spanishwomen 40-70 years of age having had mammograms in 1994and 2000 and among those having had at least one mammogramwithin the two years prior.Method: Comparison of the results of two surveys conducted in1994 and 2000, each on samples of women representative of Spanishwomen 40-70 years of age (3,218 in 1994 and 2,409 in 2000). Ananalysis was made of sociodemographic, sociosanitary and thewomen's attitude and awareness-related variables.Results: Statistically significant differences were found between1994 and 2000, the intention of having a mammogram in the future(96% in 2000 vs. 79% in 1994) (p<0.0001). A total of 59% of the 51-65 age group had a mammogram in 2000, as compared to the 50%who had one in 1994.Conclusions: The profile of Spanish women has undergone achange from 1994 to 2000, although those women who had had amammogram were of similar sociodemographic and sociosanitarycharacteristics. However, the screening is being done to a greaterextent on the age 51-65 age group in 2000, and the women are showingmore positive attitudes toward having a mammogram
