RESUMO
AIM: assess the prescription of oral nutritional supplements (ONS) in the Northern Area of Gran Canaria in the period 2016-2021. MATERIALS AND METHODS: based on electronic prescription data, the first ONS prescription during 2016-2021 was analyzed considering age, gender, nutritional requirements (NR), body mass index (BMI), percentage of weight loss (%WL), albumin and number of prescribed ONS per patient. RESULTS: 10,595 prescriptions were identified corresponding to 6661 patients with the following characteristics: 46.3 % men, mean age 72.84 ± 15.93 years, BMI 20.60 ± 3.98 kg/m2, %WL 11.89 ± 8.32 %; albumin 3.08 ± 0.63 g/dl. The most frequent etiologies of DRE were: neoplasms 42.6 %; degenerative processes of the CNS 28.9 %; stroke 3.9 %; short intestine 6.9 %, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) 5.5 %. The percentages of NR covered by the prescribed ONS were: 100 % in 8.9 % of cases, 50 % in 36.9 %, and 25 % in 54.2 %; 40.4 % of patients received 1 unit of ONS daily, 36.3 % took 2 units of ONS, and 23 % received > 3 units of ONS per day. Greater NR were associated with a greater number of ONS (p < 0.001), but 40.8 % of patients who needed to cover > 50 % of NR received only one unit of ONS. CONCLUSION: a significant percentage of patients with DRM do not receive a number of ONS according to their NR.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Aim: to present the results of the Spanish home enteral nutrition (HEN) registry of the NADYA-SENPE group for the years 2018 and 2019. Material and methods: from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019 the home enteral nutrition registry was recorded, and afterwards a further descriptive and analytical analysis was done. Results: in 2018, 4756 active patients were registered and the prevalence was 101.79 patients per one million inhabitants; in 2019 there were 4633 patients with a prevalence of 98.51 patients per one million inhabitants. They originated in 46 hospitals: 51.3 % were male, and median age was 71.0 years in both periods. The most frequent diagnosis was a neurological disorder that presents with aphagia or severe dysphagia - 58.7 % and 58.2 %, respectively. The main cause of episode termination was death. A total of 116 pediatric patients were registered in 2018 and 115 in 2019. Females represented 57.8 % and 59.1 %, respectively, in each of the periods. Median age at the beginning of HEN was 5 and 7 months. The most commonly recordered diagnostic group (42.2 % and 42.6 %) was included within the other pathologies group, followed by neurological disorders that present with aphagia or severe dysphagia in 41.4 % and 41.7 % of children. The route of administration was gastrostomy in 46.6 % and 46.1 %, respectively, in each of the periods. Conclusions: the NED registry of the NADYA-SENPE group continues to operate uninterruptedly since its inception. The number of registered patients and the number of participating hospitals remained stable in the last biennium analyzed.
INTRODUCCIÓN: Objetivo: exponer los resultados del registro de nutrición enteral domiciliaria (NED) de los años 2018 y 2019 del Grupo NADYA-SENPE. Material y métodos: se recopilaron los pacientes introducidos en el registro desde el 1 de enero al 31 de diciembre de 2018 y en las mismas fechas para 2019, procediendo al análisis descriptivo y analítico de los datos. Resultados: en el año 2018 se registraron 4756 pacientes activos con una tasa de prevalencia de 101,79 pacientes/millón de habitantes; en 2019 fueron 4633 con una tasa de prevalencia de 98,51 pacientes/millón de habitantes. Procedían de 46 hospitales. Fueron el 51,3 % los varones registrados y la edad mediana fue de 71,0 años en ambos periodos. El diagnóstico más frecuente fue el de enfermedad neurológica que cursa con afagia o disfagia severa (58,7 % y 58,2 %), respectivamente. La causa principal de finalización de los episodios fue el fallecimiento. Los pacientes pediátricos registrados fueron 116 en 2018 y 115 en 2019. Las niñas representaron el 57,8 % y 59,1 %, respectivamente, en cada uno de los periodos. La edad mediana de inicio de la NED fue de 5 y 7 meses. El grupo diagnóstico más registrado (42,2 % y 42,6 %) se englobó dentro del grupo de otras patologías, seguido de la enfermedad neurológica que cursa con afagia o disfagia severa de los niños (41,4 % y 41,7 %). Se alimentaban a través de gastrostomía el 46,6 % y 46,1 %, respectivamente, en cada uno de los periodos. Conclusiones: el registro de NED del grupo NADYA-SENPE sigue operativo de forma ininterrumpida desde sus inicios. El número de pacientes registrados y el de hospitales participantes permanece estable en el último bienio analizado.

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease whose health outcomes are related to patients and healthcare professionals' decision-making. The Diabetes Intervention study in the Canary Islands (INDICA study) aims to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of educational interventions supported by new technology decision tools for type 2 diabetes patients and primary care professionals in the Canary Islands. METHODS/DESIGN: The INDICA study is an open, community-based, multicenter, clinical controlled trial with random allocation by clusters to one of three interventions or to usual care. The setting is primary care where physicians and nurses are invited to participate. Patients with diabetes diagnosis, 18-65 years of age, and regular users of mobile phone were randomly selected. Patients with severe comorbidities were excluded. The clusters are primary healthcare practices with enough professionals and available places to provide the intervention. The calculated sample size was 2,300 patients. Patients in group 1 are receiving an educational group program of eight sessions every 3 months led by trained nurses and monitored by means of logs and a web-based platform and tailored semi-automated SMS for continuous support. Primary care professionals in group 2 are receiving a short educational program to update their diabetes knowledge, which includes a decision support tool embedded into the electronic clinical record and a monthly feedback report of patients' results. Group 3 is receiving a combination of the interventions for patients and professionals. The primary endpoint is the change in HbA1c in 2 years. Secondary endpoints are cardiovascular risk factors, macrovascular and microvascular diabetes complications, quality of life, psychological outcomes, diabetes knowledge, and healthcare utilization. Data is being collected from interviews, questionnaires, clinical examinations, and records. Generalized linear mixed models with repeated time measurements will be used to analyze changes in outcomes. The cost-effectiveness analysis, from the healthcare services perspective, involves direct medical costs per quality-adjusted life year gained and two periods, a 'within-trial' period and a lifetime Markov model. Deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses are planned. DISCUSSION: This ongoing trial aims to set up the implementation of evidence-based programs in the clinical setting for chronic patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Clinical Trial.gov NCT01657227.
