Avanzamos en salud gracias a la aplicación salud infantil papi: programa de actividades preventivas de la infancia y adolescencia / We advance in health thanks to the PAPI children's health application

Introducción: La estructura familiar y la crianza están cambiando en la sociedad, se incrementa el sedentarismo, el uso de pantallas y de redes sociales. Las familias y los profesionales sanitarios deben aprender a educar, adaptando sus consejos de salud al nuevo entorno social y digital. Material y métodos: Para renovar el Programa de Salud Infantil (PSI) de la Asociación Española de Pediatría de Atención Primaria (AEPap) se envió una encuesta a los representantes de más de 5.000 pediatras. Se incorporaron aportaciones de los programas preventivos de Andalucía, Baleares y Asturias. Se distribuyeron las diferentes intervenciones y consejos en 9 grupos etarios. Resultados: Parte de las recomendaciones están basadas en el trabajo del grupo PrevInfad, llevadas a cabo con metodología de medicina basada en la evidencia, mediante la evaluación y la síntesis de la evidencia de las actividades preventivas propuestas. La AEPap considera que el PSI debe realizarse por el equipo de pediatría: pediatra y enfermera/o, potenciándose así las competencias específicas. La OMS considera primordial empoderar a las personas, familias y comunidades para que optimicen su salud al convertirlas en cuidadoras de sí mismas y de otros, dotándolas de herramientas que protegen el bienestar. Conclusiones: Por todo ello se decide plasmar el PSI en formato de app para dispositivos móviles gratuita, como método innovador y asequible de divulgación de salud infantojuvenil. Se informa sobre consejos de crianza para los familiares, para los niños/as y adolescentes y describe las revisiones de salud para los sanitarios. (AU)

Introduction: The family structure and parenting are changing in society, sedentary lifestyle, the use of screens and social networks is increasing. Families and health professionals must learn to educate, adapting their health advice to the new social and digital environment. Materials and methods: A survey was sent to the representatives of more than 5000 paediatricians to renew the Well Child Visits Program of the Spanish Association of Primary Care Paediatrics (AEPap). Contributions from preventive programs from Andalusia, the Balearic Islands and Asturias were incorporated. The different interventions and advice were distributed in nine age groups. Results: Part of the recommendations are based on the work of the PrevInfad group. It uses the methodology of evidence-based medicine and performs the evaluation and synthesis of the evidence in the proposed preventive activities. The AEPap considers that the Well Child Program should be carried out by the paediatric team: the paediatrician and the nurse, thus enhancing specific skills. The WHO considers it is essential to empower individuals, families, and communities to optimize their health by making them caretakers of themselves and others, equipping them with tools that protect their well-being. Conclusions: Hence, it was decided to capture the Well Child Program in the format of a free APP for mobile devices, as an innovative and affordable method of disseminating child and adolescent health. Information is given on parenting advice for family members, for children and adolescents and describes health check-ups for health workers. (AU)

COVID-19 en pediatría: valoración crítica de la evidencia / COVID-19: Critical appraisal of the evidence

Presentamos el resumen de un documento de valoración crítica de la evidencia disponible sobre la COVID-19, elaborado con formato de guía de práctica clínica siguiendo la metodología GRADE. El documento trata de dar respuestas a una serie de preguntas clínicas estructuradas, con definición explícita de la población, intervención/exposición, comparación y resultado, y una jerarquización de la importancia clínica de las medidas de efecto valoradas. Realizamos revisiones sistemáticas de la literatura para responder a las preguntas, agrupadas en 6 capítulos: epidemiología, clínica, diagnóstico, tratamiento, prevención y vacunas. Valoramos el riesgo de sesgo de los estudios seleccionados con instrumentos estándar (RoB-2, ROBINS-I, QUADAS y Newcastle-Ottawa). Elaboramos tablas de evidencia y, cuando fue necesario y posible, metaanálisis de las principales medidas de efecto. Seguimos el sistema GRADE para realizar síntesis de la evidencia, con valoración de su calidad y, cuando se consideró apropiado, emitir recomendaciones jerarquizadas en función de la calidad de la evidencia, los valores y preferencias, el balance entre beneficios, riesgos y costes, la equidad y la factibilidad.

We present the summary of a critical appraisal document of the available evidence on COVID-19, developed with a clinical practice guide format following GRADE methodology. The document tries to provide answers to a series of structured clinical questions, with an explicit definition of the population, intervention/exposure, comparison and outcome, and a rating of the clinical relevance of the outcome measures. We conducted a systematic review of the literature to answer the questions, grouped into six chapters: epidemiology, clinical practice, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and vaccination. We assessed the risk of bias of the selected studies with standard instruments (RoB-2, ROBINS-I, QUADAS and Newcastle-Ottawa). We constructed evidence tables and, when necessary and possible, meta-analysis of the of the most relevant outcome measures. We followed the GRADE system to synthesize the evidence, assessing its quality, and, when appropriate, giving recommendations, rated according to the quality of the evidence, the values and preferences, the balance between benefits, risks and costs, equity and feasibility.

Paediatricians provide higher quality care to children and adolescents in primary care: A systematic review.

AIM: The number of primary care paediatricians is decreasing in Europe without a justifiable reason. We aimed to compare the clinical practice of paediatricians and family doctors attending children and adolescents in primary care. METHODS: MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, TRIP and Google Scholar were searched from December 2008 to February 2018. No language or study design restrictions were applied. Three reviewers assessed eligibility of the studies. Seven pairs of reviewers performed the data extraction and assessed the methodological quality independently. Discrepancies were resolved by consensus. RESULTS: Fifty-four, out of 1150 studies preselected, were included. We found that paediatricians show more appropriate pharmacology prescription patterns for the illness being treated; they achieve higher vaccination rates and have better knowledge of vaccines and fewer doubts about vaccine safety; their knowledge and implementation of different screening tests are better; they prescribe psychoactive drugs more cautiously and more in line with current practice guidelines; their evaluation and treatment of obesity and lipid disorders follow criteria more consistently with current clinical practice guidelines; and they perform fewer diagnostic test, show a more suitable use of the test and request fewer referrals to specialists. CONCLUSION: According to published data, in developed countries, paediatricians provide higher quality care to children than family doctors.

Prevalencia de la lactancia materna y factores asociados con el inicio y la duración de la lactancia materna exclusiva en la Comunidad de Madrid entre los participantes en el estudio ELOIN / Prevalence of breastfeeding and factors associated with the start and duration of exclusive breastfeeding in the Community of Madrid among participants in the ELOIN

INTRODUCCIÓN: La lactancia materna tiene importantes beneficios para la salud poblacional. Los objetivos de este estudio son: a) conocer la prevalencia y duración de la lactancia materna y lactancia materna exclusiva; b) analizar las razones de no inicio y de abandono de la lactancia materna, y c) describir los factores asociados a la lactancia materna exclusiva y con su mantenimiento durante 6meses. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Estudio transversal a partir de datos basales de la cohorte ELOIN, obtenidos por cuestionario epidemiológico. Se estudió una muestra de 2.627 niños de 4años nacidos en 2008-2009 de la Comunidad de Madrid. Se utilizaron modelos de regresión logística. RESULTADOS: La prevalencia de lactancia materna exclusiva y lactancia materna fue del 77,6 y del 88%, respectivamente; la lactancia materna exclusiva a los 6 meses fue del 25,4%, y la lactancia materna a los 2 años, del 7,7%. Las razones principales de finalización de la lactancia fueron la producción insuficiente de leche (36%) y la incorporación al trabajo (25,9%). Las variables asociadas con el inicio o mantenimiento de la lactancia materna exclusiva fueron: madre de más de 35años, estatus económico medio-alto, extranjera con menos de 10 años de residencia en España y haber participado en taller de lactancia tras el parto. CONCLUSIONES: La prevalencia de lactancia materna en la Comunidad de Madrid no alcanzó en 2008-2009 las recomendaciones internacionales. Es necesario intensificar estrategias de promoción, protección y apoyo a la lactancia materna, incluyendo su monitorización periódica

INTRODUCTION: Breastfeeding has important benefits for population health. The aims of this study are: (I) to determine the prevalence and duration of breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding; (II) analyse the reasons for not starting or abandoning of breastfeeding, and (III) describe the factors associated with the initiation and duration of exclusive breastfeeding. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Cross sectional study using the baseline data of the ELOIN cohort, obtained using an epidemiological questionnaire. A sample of 2,627 children born in 2008-2009 from the Community of Madrid was studied. Logistic regression models were used. RESULTS: Prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding and breastfeeding was 77.6% and 88% respectively; prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding at 6 months 25.4%, and prevalence of breastfeeding at 2 years was 7.7%. The most common reasons for abandoning breastfeeding were insufficient milk (36%), and incorporation to work (25.9%). The variables associated with starting or maintaining of exclusive breastfeeding were: mother older than 35 years, medium-high economic status, foreigner residing in Spain less than 10 years, and having participated in a breastfeeding workshop. CONCLUSIONS: Breastfeeding prevalence in the Community of Madrid did not reach the international recommendations in 2008-2009. It is necessary to intensify strategies for breastfeeding promotion, protection, and support, including their periodic monitoring

Gastroenteritis aguda bacteriana: 729 casos reclutados por una red nacional de atención primaria / Acute bacterial gastroenteritis: 729 cases recruited by a Primary Care national network

Objetivo: Conocer las principales características clínicas y epidemiológicas de la gastroenteritis bacteriana pediátrica en nuestro medio. Pacientes y métodos: Estudio observacional en el ámbito de la población española. Recogida de encuestas durante un año de niños con coprocultivo positivo a bacterias. Análisis bivariado y 2 modelos multivariantes (para las variables tratamiento antibiótico, y comparación Campylobacter/Salmonella). Resultados: Un total de 729 episodios de gastroenteritis bacteriana en las 17 comunidades autónomas (41,2% mujeres y 58,8% varones). La mediana de la edad fue 3,41 años (rango intercuartílico 1,55 a 6,72). El 59,9% de los aislamientos fueron Campylobacter, el 31,8% Salmonella no tifoidea, el 2,7% Aeromonas, el 2,5% Yersinia y más de un germen el 1,5%. La mayoría de contagios (70%) son directos, y la intoxicación alimentaria es más improbable (25,9%). Salmonella es significativamente menos frecuente que Campylobacter en menores de 3 años (OR ajustada: 0,61; IC95%: 0,43 a 0,86; p = 0,005), y Campylobacter es más habitual en el medio rural (OR ajustada 1,48; IC95%: 1,07 a 2,07; p = 0,012). Se indicó antibiótico en el 33,2% de los casos, significativamente más si hubo productos patológicos en heces (OR ajustada: 1,53; IC95%: 1,04 a 2,27; p=0,031), duró más de 7 días (OR ajustada: 2,81; IC95%: 2,01 a 3,93; p<0,000), o se hospitalizó (OR ajustada: 1,95; IC95%: 1,08 a 3,52; p=0,027). Conclusiones: La etiología de la diarrea bacteriana pediátrica es la propia de un país desarrollado. El mecanismo de contagio es principalmente directo, y se tratan con antibióticos más casos de los que parecería recomendable (AU)

Objective: To determine the main clinical and epidemiological features of bacterial gastroenteritis in our environment. Patients and methods: An observational study of a Spanish population in 17 Autonomous Communities. Questionnaires of children with a stool positive culture to bacteria were collected over a one year period. A bivariate analysis was performed on the variables involved, as well as two multivariate models (for antibiotic treatment variables, and comparison Campylobacter/Salmonella). Results: A total of 729 bacterial gastroenteritis episodes were recorded in the 17 Spanish autonomous regions, of which 41.2% were girls and 58.8% boys. The median age was 3.41 years old (interquartile range 1.55 to 6.72). The bacteria isolated were 59.9% Campylobacter, 31.8% non-Typhi Salmonella, 2.7% Aeromonas, 2.4% Yersinia, and 1.5% had more than one strain. Most infections (70%) were direct contacts, and food poisoning was less probable (25.9%). Salmonella is significantly less frequent than Campylobacter in children under the age of 3 years (adjusted OR 0.61; 95%CI: 0.43 to 0.86; P=.005), and Campylobacter is more frequent in rural areas (adjusted OR 1.48; 95%CI: 1.07 to 2.07; P=.012). Antibiotic was prescribed in 33.2% of cases. There was a greater significant difference if stools contained blood or mucus (adjusted OR 1.53; 95% CI: 1.04 to 2.27; P = .031), if the symptoms lasted more than 7days (adjusted OR 2.81; 95% CI: 2.01 to 3.93; P < .000), or if the child was admitted to hospital (adjusted OR 1.95; 95% CI: 1.08 to 3.52; P = .027). Conclusions: The aetiology of bacterial diarrhoea in paediatrics is typical of that of a developed country. The transmission mechanism is mainly direct, and more cases than appropriate are treated with antibiotics (AU)
