RESUMO

At the end of January, the current outbreak of COVID-19 coronavirus disease was declared an important international public health emergency. In Spain, since the government declared the state of alarm on 14 March 2020, doctors responsible for carrying out neurophysiological tests have been performing them without any consensus criterion or clear safety guidelines for doctors, technicians or patients. The following recommendations, based on current knowledge of the disease and therefore liable to change in the future, are proposed when the pandemic appears to have entered a process of decreasing virulence and, with it, the strict containment measures established to date. However, in view of the possibility of a second wave of the pandemic, it seems necessary to establish basic and minimum recommendations to respect the patient's right to appropriate care, similar to that provided prior to the pandemic, and to maintain minimum safety standards for the patients themselves and for the doctors, technicians and health personnel carrying out these tests. These recommendations concern the constitution of a priority based on the reason for consultation, the establishment of calls to check the patient's clinical situation before going to the outpatient department and the rules for carrying out neurophysiological tests, which are generally based on the preservation of hospital circuits, respect for and observation of the known barriers to contagion of this disease, and the use of disposable material. These recommendations are of particular interest, especially given the uncertainty of not knowing the evolution of the SARS-CoV-2 infection in the coming weeks or months.


TITLE: Recomendaciones sobre estudios neurofisiológicos en tiempos de pandemia de COVID-19.A finales de enero, la Organización Mundial de la Salud declaró el brote actual de la enfermedad por coronavirus COVID-19 como emergencia de salud pública de importancia internacional. En España, desde que el 14 de marzo de 2020 el Gobierno decretase el estado de alarma, los médicos encargados de las pruebas neurofisiológicas las hemos estado realizando sin tener un criterio consensuado ni unas pautas adecuadas de seguridad claras para los facultativos, los técnicos ni los pacientes. Las siguientes recomendaciones, basadas en el actual conocimiento de la enfermedad y, por tanto, susceptibles de variaciones en el futuro, se proponen cuando la pandemia parece que ha entrado en un proceso de disminución de la virulencia y, con ello, las medidas estrictas de confinamiento hasta ahora mantenidas; sin embargo, ante la posibilidad de una segunda oleada de rebrotes de la pandemia, parece necesario establecer unas recomendaciones básicas y de mínimos para respetar el derecho del paciente a una atención adecuada, similar a la previa a la pandemia, y mantener unos mínimos de seguridad para los propios pacientes y los médicos, técnicos y personal sanitario que realizan estas pruebas. Se trata de recomendaciones sobre el establecimiento de una prioridad basándose en el motivo de consulta, el establecimiento de llamadas de comprobación de la situación clínica del paciente antes de acudir a la consulta externa y las normas de ejecución de las pruebas neurofisiológicas, que se basan, en general, en la preservación de circuitos hospitalarios, el respeto y el cuidado de las barreras de contagio conocidas de esta enfermedad, y la utilización de material desechable. Estas recomendaciones son de especial interés, sobre todo por la incertidumbre de no saber la evolución de la infección por el SARS-CoV-2 en las próximas semanas o meses.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Disorders of the lower urinary tract are frequent in patients with multiple sclerosis throughout the course of the disease and reach variable prevalences close to 75%. It is essential to obtain an early diagnosis in the initial phases and to implement an optimal therapeutic management. Burks et al developed the Actionable Bladder Symptoms Screening Tool (ABSST) as a useful screening test in such disorders. Later, Bates et al developed a short version of the ABSST with the objective of minimising the time required to complete it and making it easier to use. AIMS: To carry out the transcultural validation into Spanish of the short version of the ABSST. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The ABSST was translated into Spanish and then back-translated into English, which confirmed the semantic equivalence. A field test was conducted on 40 patients with multiple sclerosis, with two extra questions being included at the end in order to check the comprehension and acceptability of the tool, together with a final item that asked for the time spent on completing it. RESULTS: Forty patients were selected In accordance with the eligibility and exclusion criteria; 67.5% of them were females and the overall mean age was 46.2 years. The rate of comprehension of the test was 100%, and that of acceptability was 97.5%. Results showed that 57.5% obtained scores >= 3, and an average of 5.33 minutes were spent on completing it. CONCLUSIONS: As a brief screening questionnaire for urinary disorders in multiple sclerosis, the ABSST is a useful tool for detecting them at an early stage and has now been validated for use in Spanish.


TITLE: Validacion transcultural al castellano del Actionable Bladder Symptoms Screening Tool.Introduccion. Los trastornos del tracto urinario inferior son frecuentes en pacientes con esclerosis multiple a lo largo del transcurso de la enfermedad y alcanzan prevalencias variables cercanas al 75%. Es primordial realizar un diagnostico precoz en fases tempranas y un abordaje terapeutico optimo. Burks et al elaboraron el Actionable Bladder Symptoms Screening Tool (ABSST) como herramienta de cribado util de dichos trastornos. Posteriormente, Bates et al desarrollaron una version corta del ABSST con el objetivo de minimizar el tiempo de realizacion y facilitar su manejo. Objetivo. Realizar la validacion transcultural al castellano de la version breve del ABSST. Pacientes y metodos. Se realizo la traduccion al castellano del ABSST y una posterior retrotraduccion al ingles que confirmaba su equivalencia semantica. Se llevo a cabo una prueba de campo en 40 pacientes con esclerosis multiple, incluyendo dos preguntas finales para comprobar la comprension y aceptabilidad de la herramienta y un ultimo item que recogia el tiempo empleado para su realizacion. Resultados. Se seleccionaron 40 pacientes conforme a los criterios de inclusion y exclusion; el 67,5% eran mujeres y la media global de edad era de 46,2 años. La comprension del test fue del 100%, y la aceptabilidad, del 97,5%. El 57,5% obtuvo puntuaciones >= 3, y se emplearon 5,33 minutos de media. Conclusiones. El ABSST como cuestionario de cribado breve de trastornos urinarios en la esclerosis multiple es una herramienta util para su deteccion temprana y queda validado para su uso en castellano.

RESUMO

Objetivos. Evaluar la efectividad clínica y la seguridad del acetato de glatiramero en las condiciones de la práctica diaria. Pacientes y métodos. Estudio retrospectivo, observacional, en pacientes con esclerosis múltiple tratados con acetato de glatiramero en las condiciones de la práctica clínica. El criterio principal de valoración fue la efectividad clínica del acetato de glatiramero. Resultados. En el estudio se incluyeron un total de 104 pacientes (mujeres: 59,6%; edad de inicio del acetato de glatiramero: 39,9 ± 10,9 años; tratamiento anterior para la esclerosis múltiple: 30,8%). Los pacientes recibieron acetato de glatiramero durante 3,6 ± 1,9 años. Durante el primer año de tratamiento con el acetato de glatiramero, la tasa de recidivas se redujo un 60%, en 47 pacientes (45,1%) se redujo el número de recidivas, 67 pacientes (68,4%) no sufrieron recidiva y 78 pacientes (75%) no mostraron progresión. Durante el segundo año de tratamiento con acetato de glatiramero, la tasa de recidivas había disminuido un 70%, en 43 pacientes (41,3%) se redujo el número de recidivas, 63 pacientes (75,9%) no sufrieron recidiva y 59 pacientes (56,7%) no mostraron progresión. No se notificaron recidivas ni progresión en 56 (53,8%) y 41 pacientes (39,4%) durante el primer y segundo año de tratamiento, respectivamente. La suspensión del acetato de glatiramero sólo fue necesaria en tres pacientes. Los acontecimientos adversos más frecuentes fueron cansancio (28,9%) y espasticidad (7,7%). Conclusión. La evaluación del acetato de glatiramero en las condiciones de la práctica clínica respalda el perfil de eficacia y seguridad observado en ensayos clínicos previamente publicados (AU)


Aim. To evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of glatiramer acetate for use in routine clinical practice. Patients and methods. A retrospective, observational study was conducted on patients with multiple sclerosis who were treated with glatiramer acetate in clinical practice. The primary outcome was the clinical effectiveness of glatiramer acetate treatment. Results. The study included a total of 104 patients (women, 59.6%; age at onset of glatiramer acetate treatment, 39.9 ± 10.9 years; prior treatment for multiple sclerosis, 30.8%). The patients had received glatiramer acetate treatment for an average of 3.6 ± 1.9 years. During the first year of glatiramer acetate treatment, the relapse rate decreased by 60%. At this time, the number of relapses had decreased for 47 patients (45.1%), 67 patients (68.4%) had not suffered a relapse and 78 patients (75.0%) showed no signs of progression. During the second year of glatiramer acetate treatment, the relapse rate decreased by 70%. At this time, the number of relapses had decreased for 43 patients (41.3%), 63 patients (75.9%) had not suffered a relapse and 59 patients (56.7%) showed no signs of progression. There were no reported relapses or progression in 56 patients (53.8%) and 41 patients (39.4%) during the first and second years of treatment, respectively. Discontinuation of glatiramer acetate was necessary in only three patients. The most common adverse effects included fatigue (28.9%) and spasticity (7.7%). Conclusion. This evaluation of glatiramer acetate use in clinical practice supports the effectiveness and the safety profile observed in previously published clinical trial studies (AU)

RESUMO

AIM: To study pre-treatment clinical features and influence of neutralising antibodies (NABs) in clinical response to interferon-beta (IFNB). PATIENTS AND METHODS: We analysed clinical characteristics and NABs to IFNB in 96 multiple sclerosis patients treated with IFNB. Clinical response was established by clinical criteria: = 1 relapse or an increase = 0.5 or 1 point in the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score after one year of treatment compared with the year prior to IFNB therapy. RESULTS: Baseline clinical characteristics were similar for responders and non-responders, except for a significantly higher baseline mean EDSS score in non-responders. Time-to-first-relapse was longer and the number of patients relapse-free was higher for NAB-negative patients, but we were unable to show an association with the disability status, probably due to sample size. CONCLUSIONS: Response to IFNB was significantly associated with pre-treatment disability measured by the EDSS. The presence of NABs to IFNB presented a delayed negative effect for relapses.

RESUMO

Objetivo. Estudiar las características clínicas y la influenciade los anticuerpos neutralizantes (NAB) en la respuestaclínica al interferón beta (IFNB). Pacientes y métodos. Analizamoslas características clínicas y los NAB frente al IFNB en 96 pacientescon esclerosis múltiple tratados con IFNB. La respuesta clínicase estableció mediante criterios clínicos: ≥ 1 brote o un incremento≥ 0,5 o 1 punto en la escala expandida del estado de discapacidad(EDSS, Expanded Disability Status Scale) tras un año de tratamientocomparado con el año previo al inicio del tratamiento con IFNB.Resultados. Las características clínicas basales fueron similarespara los pacientes respondedores y los no respondedores, exceptopor la EDSS media previa al tratamiento, que era significativamentemayor en los pacientes no respondedores. El tiempo hasta el primerbrote era mayor y el número de pacientes libres de brote eramayor entre los pacientes NAB-negativos, pero fuimos incapaces dedemostrar una asociación del estado de NAB y el estado de discapacidad,probablemente debido al tamaño muestral. Conclusiones.La respuesta al IFNB está significativamente asociada a la discapacidadprevia al tratamiento medida con la EDSS. La presencia deNAB frente al IFNB presentaba un efecto negativo retardado conrespecto a los brotes
