ABSTRACT

Introduction We aimed to develop a decision aid to support shared-decision making between physicians and women with average breast cancer risk when deciding whether to participate in breast cancer screening. Methods We included women at average risk of breast cancer and physicians involved in supporting the decision of breast cancer screening from an Academic Hospital in Buenos Aires, Argentina. We followed the International Patient Decision Aid Standards to develop our decision aid. Guided by a steering group and a multidisciplinary consultancy group including a patient advocate, we reviewed the evidence about breast cancer screening and previous decision aids, explored the patients' information needs on this topic from the patients' and physicians' perspective using semi-structured interviews, and we alpha-tested the prototype to determine its usability, comprehensibility and applicability. Results We developed the first prototype of a web-based decision aid to use during the clinical encounter with women aged 40 to 69 with average breast cancer risk. After a meeting with our consultancy group, we developed a second prototype that underwent alpha-testing. Physicians and patients agreed that the tool was clear, useful and applicable during a clinical encounter. We refined our final prototype according to their feedback. Conclusion We developed the first decision aid in our region and language on this topic, developed with end-users' input and informed by the best available evidence. We expect this decision aid to help women and physicians make shared decisions during the clinical encounter when talking about breast cancer screening.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: La recomendación de tamizaje mamográfico de cáncer mamario se encuentra en discusión debido al riesgo de falsos positivos y de sobrediagnóstico. Algunas asociaciones científicas, que comenzaron a reevaluar su indicación, propician suministrar información e involucrar a las pacientes en la toma de decisión. OBJETIVOS: Comprender las motivaciones y opiniones de las mujeres a la hora de realizarse una mamografía de tamizaje. MÉTODOS: Se realizó un estudio cualitativo, con 16 entrevistas en profundidad a mujeres con una media de edad de 59 años, que estaban afiliadas a un seguro privado de salud de la ciudad de Buenos Aires. RESULTADOS: La motivación se construye en el marco de la creencia de que es mejor prevenir que curar, inscripta en una relación médicopaciente asimétrica a favor del saber médico y con una fuerte influencia de los medios de comunicación, que promueven los beneficios de la técnica e invisibilizan sus potenciales riesgos. CONCLUSIONES: Dado que muchas mujeres entrevistadas se mostraron interesadas en recibir información completa acerca del rastreo mamográfico, se sugiere mejorar el proceso de toma de decisiones de las prácticas preventivas de salud

ABSTRACT

El tratamiento de fracturas desplazadas de húmero proximal puede realizarse de manera conservadora o quirúrgica. A partir de una viñeta clínica en la cual una señora adulta mayor tiene una fractura de húmero proximal por una caída de su propia altura se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica que identificó una revisión sistemática Cochrane que compara ambas alternativas de tratamiento. Los resultados clínicos que resume esta revisión indican que el tratamiento quirúrgico no sería superior al tratamiento conservador y se asociaría a un número mayor de procedimientos quirúrgicos adicionales. (AU)


The treatment of displaced fracture of the proximal humerus can be managed surgically or conservatively. From a clinical vi-gnette in which an elderly woman suffers a proximal fracture of the humerus due to a fall from her own height, a bibliographic search was run and identified a Cochrane systematic review which compared both treatment options. The clinical results sum-marized in this review indicated that surgical treatment would not be superior to conservative management. Furthermore, surgi-cal treatment would be associated with a greater number of additional surgical procedures. (AU)
