ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The aim of this paper is to analyze the differences in the coordination of chronic illness care between the different public hospital management models coexisting in the Spanish region of Madrid (25 hospitals) during the period 2013-2017. METHODS: The performance of hospitals might be affected by the characteristics of the population they serve and, therefore, this information should be taken into account when estimating efficiency measures. For this purpose, we apply the nonparametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) conditioned to some contextual variables and adapted to a dynamic framework, so that we can assess hospitals during a five-year period. The outputs considered are preventable hospitalizations, readmissions for heart failure and readmissions for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, whereas the inputs considered are the number of beds, personnel (physicians and other healthcare professionals) and total expenditure on goods and services. RESULTS: The results suggest that the level of efficiency demonstrated by the public-private collaboration models of hospital management is higher than traditionally managed hospitals throughout the analyzed period. Nevertheless, we notice that efficiency differences among hospitals are significantly reduced when contextual factors were taken into account. CONCLUSIONS: Hospitals managed under public-private collaboration models are more efficient than those under traditional management in terms of chronic illness care coordination, being this difference attributable to more agile and flexible management under the collaborative models.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Fundamento: la osteoporosis en el climaterio es una enfermedad prevenible, al evitar los factores de riesgos que llevan a su aparición, mediante la realización de la densitometría ósea para su diagnóstico, tratamiento y prevención. Objetivo: analizar la prevalencia de osteoporosis producida por el climaterio en mujeres de 45 a 60 años. Métodos: se desarrolló una investigación cuantitativa con alcance descriptivo y diseño transversal y retrospectivo. La población estuvo constituida por 50 mujeres del barrio La Propicia, cuatro en la ciudad de Esmeraldas, Ecuador. Para la recolección de datos se realizó una revisión de las historias clínicas de todas las mujeres en etapa menopaúsica. Resultados: el 50 % de la población estudiada estaban en un rango entre 51 a 60 años, el 34 % del total de mujeres padeció osteoporosis, el 60 % de las participantes discontinuaron su menstruación de dos a cinco años y el 76 % no llevaban terapia hormonal sustitutiva. Solo el 16 % del total de mujeres con diagnóstico de osteoporosis se había realizado la densitometría ósea y el 47,05 % sufrió algún tipo de fractura producto de la enfermedad. Conclusiones: existe una alta prevalencia de osteoporosis en mujeres mayores de 60 años, el tiempo más frecuente de la última menstruación fue de dos a cinco años y en su gran mayoría no llevan tratamiento con terapia hormonal. Se observó que muy pocas de ellas se realizaron la densitometría ósea para el diagnóstico de osteoporosis y muchas presentaron fracturas.


ABSTRACT Background: Informed Consent is the acceptance of a medical intervention by a patient, in a free, voluntary and conscious way, after the doctor has informed him of the nature of the intervention, risks, benefits and alternatives. Objective: to assess the quality of structure and content of the informed consent forms in severe patients. Methods: cross-sectional retrospective descriptive study was carried out with 335 IC written forms applied to family members and / or patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of the Joaquín Albarrán Domínguez Hospital, Havana, Cuba, from September 30, 2017 to September 22, 2018. The Chi-square test was performed the frequencies of compliance. A value of p ≤ 0.05 was significant. Results: predominantly, the written formats in patients with a clinical profile complied with the completion of the document and the best were those of surgical profile. In compliance with the general data in the IC written format, there was an adequate compliance, in the forms of the clinical profile, they did not comply with writing the name and description of medical procedures. There was no consent forms to authorize medical researches and it was not delivered a copy of the written document to the interested persons. Conclusions: the quality of the formats was bad, we still have to improve the information offered, clarify the doubts, as well as the request for authorization for medical research and implement mechanisms that facilitate the delivery of a copy of the written document.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Fundamento: la lactancia materna exclusiva hasta los seis meses de edad del lactante, ha sido a través de la historia de la medicina algo muy difícil de complementar en muchas de las madres que lactan. Objetivo identificar las causas de abandono de la lactancia materna exclusiva por parte de las madres. Métodos se realizó un estudio de alcance descriptivo, con enfoque cuantitativo y transversal, en los meses de septiembre a noviembre de 2016. Se aplicó una encuesta y una observación a 73 madres de lactantes de hasta los seis meses de edad, que abandonaron la lactancia materna exclusiva. Resultados al analizar los datos obtenidos, arrojaron que el grupo etario de mayor porciento fue el de 14 a 16 años, el nivel escolar secundario fue el que más prevaleció, el nivel de conocimiento de esta población fue bajo, en cuanto a las fuentes de información el 68,49 % no identificó ninguna. Al observar la técnica de lactar se obtuvo que las madres lo realizaban de forma deficiente. Según el tiempo de abandono de la lactancia materna exclusiva se obtuvo que fue a los tres meses en su mayoría. La principal causa de abandono de la lactancia materna exclusiva fue el comienzo de los estudios. El percápita familiar de esta población es baja donde 32 de ellas son de 100 a 200 dólares mensuales y las enfermedades digestivas fueron las más frecuentes sufridas por los lactantes. Conclusiones la población estudiada fueron adolescentes, que aún estaban en sus estudios, con bajo nivel de conocimiento del tema, bajo nivel económico, que según refieren ellas no tuvieron una fuente de información, todos estos factores contribuyeron a que gran parte de ellas abandonaran la lactancia materna exclusiva antes de los tres meses, lo que trajo consigo enfermedades a los lactantes.


ABSTRACT Background: the exclusive breastfeeding until the six months of age of the baby has been through the medicine´s history something really difficult to achieve with many mothers who breastfeed. Objective: to identify the causes of abandonment of exclusive breastfeeding by the mothers. Methods a descriptive study with a quantitative and cross-sectional approach was carried out between September and November of 2016. It was applied a survey and observation to 73 mothers of infants up to 6 months of age who abandoned exclusive breastfeeding. Results: when analyzing the data obtained, it showed that the highest age group was 14 to 16 years old, the secondary school level was the most prevalent, the level of knowledge of this population was low, as far as the sources of information, 68.49 % did not identify any. When observing the technique of breastfeeding it was found that mothers did it in deficient way. When analyzing the time of abandonment of exclusive breastfeeding it was obtained that it was at 3 months old in the majority. The main cause of exclusive breastfeeding´s abandonment was the onset of the studies. The family per capita of this population is low where 32 of them are of 100 to 200 dollars monthly and the digestive diseases were the most frequent suffered by the infants. Conclusions: the population studied were adolescents, who were still in their studies, with low level of knowledge of the subject, low economic income, which according to them they did not have a source of information, all these factors contributed that a great part of them abandoned exclusive breastfeeding before 3 months, bringing diseases to infants.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-8 (PDQ-8) with three multi-attribute utility (MAU) instruments (EQ-5D-3L, EQ-5D-5L, and 15D) and to develop mapping algorithms that could be used to transform PDQ-8 scores into MAU scores. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted. A final sample of 228 evaluable patients was included in the analyses. Sociodemographic and clinical data were also collected. Two EQ-5D questionnaires were scored using Spanish tariffs. Two models and three statistical techniques were used to estimate each model in the direct mapping framework for all three MAU instruments, including the most widely used ordinary least squares (OLS), the robust MM-estimator, and the generalized linear model (GLM). For both EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L, indirect response mapping based on an ordered logit model was also conducted. Three goodness-of-fit tests were employed to compare the models: the mean absolute error (MAE), the root-mean-square error (RMSE), and the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) between the predicted and observed utilities. RESULTS: Health state utility scores ranged from 0.61 (EQ-5D-3L) to 0.74 (15D). The mean PDQ-8 score was 27.51. The correlation between overall PDQ-8 score and each MAU instrument ranged from - 0.729 (EQ-5D-5L) to - 0.752 (EQ-5D-3L). A mapping algorithm based on PDQ-8 items had better performance than using the overall score. For the two EQ-5D questionnaires, in general, the indirect mapping approach had comparable or even better performance than direct mapping based on MAE. CONCLUSIONS: Mapping algorithms developed in this study enable the estimation of utility values from the PDQ-8. The indirect mapping equations reported for two EQ-5D questionnaires will further facilitate the calculation of EQ-5D utility scores using other country-specific tariffs.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of accumulated internal training load (ITL) during the preseason (4 weeks) on changes in the intermittent performance, in a professional soccer team. Twelve professionals soccer players (Mean ± SD age: 27.7 ± 4.3 years; height: 177.1 ± 6.2 cm; body mass: 73.1 ± 5.2 kg; % body fat [Faulkner]: 10.2 ± 1.2) belonging to a Spanish second division team (2013-2014) participated in this study. The 30-15 intermittent fitness test was performed before and after the preseason, and the speed for the last period completed by each player was recorded (VIFT). During the preseason, the team alternated practice of training sessions (TRNs) with friendly matches (FMs). Session rating of perceived exertion (sRPE), heart rate (HR), and HR reserve were analyzed every TRN and FM to calculate ITL (ITL: sRPE-TL, Edward's-TL and Edward's-TLres). The players' VIFT substantially increased after the preseason period (20.1 ± 0.8 vs. 21.1 ± 0.8 km·h; effect size [ES] = 1.15 ± 0.25; almost certainly). The average value of sRPE throughout FMs was substantially greater than the value of the TRNs (7.4 ± 0.9 vs. 5.25 ± 0.2; ES = 2.31 ± 2.45; almost certainly). sRPE-TL, practice volume, and sum of RPE during the preseason were positively and largely correlated (r = 0.70-0.75) with changes on intermittent performance. No relationships were found between HR-derived measures of exercise load and changes on intermittent fitness. The present results suggest that practice volume and subjective measures of TL, related better than HR-based TL methods to changes on intermittent performance after the preseason, in professional soccer players.

ABSTRACT

This paper aims to extend the literature on measuring efficiency in primary health care by considering the influence of quality indicators and environmental variables conjointly in a case study. In particular, environmental variables are represented by patients' characteristics and quality indicators are based on technical aspects. In order to deal with both aspects, different extensions of data envelopment analysis (DEA) methodology are applied. Specifically, we use weight restrictions to ensure that the efficiency scores assigned to the evaluated units take quality data into account, and a four-stage model to identify which exogenous variables have impact on performance as well as to compute efficiency scores that incorporate this information explicitly. The results provide evidence in support of the importance of including information about both aspects in the analysis so that the efficiency measures obtained can be interpreted as an accurate reflection of performance.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this paper is to extend the existing literature about efficiency measurement in primary health care with the application of a recently developed method to deal with exogenous variables. In this context, these variables are represented by the main characteristics of the covered population. The use of this technique allows calculating more accurate efficiency scores that can reflect the performance of units more properly. Our results show that the inclusion of these variables in the evaluation has a great impact on both the values of efficiency scores and the rank of units. This analysis has been carried out using a great amount of data available about primary health care centers in the Spanish region of Extremadura.
