ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyse the efficacy of health education (HE) through a group session with two years of intervention by postal back-up on compliance with therapy for light-to-moderate essential hypertension. DESIGN: Controlled, randomised clinical trial. SETTING: La Orden Health Centre. PARTICIPANTS: 110 hypertense patients diagnosed with de novo or unmonitored hypertension. INTERVENTION: 1. Control group (CG): 55 patients who received HE from their doctor. 2. Intervention group (IG): 55 patients who also received a controlled intervention. a) Group HE session, b) Postal back-up to the home every three months for two years. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: After two years, on two surprise home visits made at a month's interval, blood pressure was measured and pressure-lowering pills counted. The person whose consumption was at 80-110% of the amount prescribed was defined as compliant. The percentages of compliant patients and mean compliance were compared for the two visits. The reduction of absolute risk (RAR), of relative risk (RRR) and the number of patients needed to avoid non-compliance (NNT) were calculated. 92 people finished the trial. The two groups (n: CG = 45, IG = 47) did not differ for age, sex, time of evolution, number of illnesses or dosages of medicines prescribed. 78.26% were compliant (CI: 61.5-94.9), CG = 55.6% and IG = 95.7% (p < 0.0001). Mean overall compliance was 90.9 +/- 14, CG = 88.1 +/- 12 and IG = 93.86 +/- 11 (p = 0.01). RAR was 40.1%, RRR 90.3 and NNT 2.49% respectively. CONCLUSIONS: HE intervention is an effective measure to improve therapeutic compliance in essential hypertension and lasts for up to two years.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Analizar la eficacia de la educación para la salud (EPS), mediante sesión grupal con refuerzo postal, tras 2 años de intervención, en el cumplimiento terapéutico de la HTA esencial leve-moderada. Diseño. Ensayo clínico controlado, aleatorio. Ámbito. Centro de Salud La Orden. Sujetos. Ciento diez sujetos hipertensos diagnosticados de HTA de novo o no controlada. Intervención. 1. Grupo control (GC): 55 pacientes, que recibieron EPS de su médico. 2. Grupo intervención (GI): 55 pacientes que recibieron además intervención controlada: a) sesión de EPS en grupo, y b) refuerzo postal domiciliario cada 3 meses durante 2 años. Mediciones y resultados. A los 2 años se llevaron a cabo 2 visitas domiciliarias por sorpresa con un mes de intervalo, realizándose medición de PA y recuento de comprimidos hipotensores. Se definió como cumplidor a aquel paciente cuyo consumo es un 80-110 por ciento del prescrito. Se compararon los porcentajes de cumplidores y cumplimiento medio entre visitas. Se calculó la reducción del riesgo absoluto, relativo y el número de pacientes necesarios para evitar un incumplimiento (RRA, RRR, NNT). Finalizaron 92 individuos. Ambos grupos (GC, 45; GI, 47) no difieren en edad, sexo, tiempo de evolución, número de enfermedades y dosis de fármacos prescritos. Fue cumplidor un 78,26 por ciento (IC, 61,5-94,9; GC, 55,6 por ciento y GI, 95,7 por ciento; p < 0,0001). El porcentaje medio de cumplimiento fue globalmente del 90,9 ñ 14 (GC, 88,1 ñ 12 y GI, 93,86 ñ 11; p = 0,01). La RRA fue del 40,1 por ciento, la RRR del 90,3 por ciento y el NNT del 2,49 por ciento, respectivamente. Conclusiones. La intervención en EPS es una medida eficaz para mejorar el cumplimiento terapéutico en la HTA esencial perdurando hasta los 2 años (AU)

ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio longitudinal descriptivo, retrospectivo, que incluyó el total de pacientes a quienes se les realizó laparoscopía en el Hospital Gineco-Obstétrico Docente Fé del Valle Ramos de Manzanillo del 1 de abril de 1992 al 31 de mayo de 1999, fueran electivas o urgentes, ingresadas o ambulatorias. La procedencia de los datos fue de expedientes clínicos e informes archivados. Las variables estudiadas fueron diagnóstico clínico, laparoscópico, preoperatorio, anatomopatológico, complicaciones, clasificación de la operación, métodos y agente anestésico. Se identificó la frecuencia de diagnóstico, se describieron complicaciones y la coincidencia entre los diagnósticos clínico, laparoscópico y anatomopatológico.Se estudiaron 1700 laparoscopías, 205 fueron con fines quirúrgicos. El diagnóstico más frecuente fue la metroanexitis con predominio de las afecciones inflamatorias ginecológicas. La relación entre los diagnósticos clínicos, resultados del proceder y del estudio histológico fue alta, evidenciando gran eficacia del método, la SPB constituyó la cirugía más frecuente. Predominó el proceder electivo presentando pocas complicaciones, el cual fue de gran valor para decidir la conducta terapéutica.(AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To find the clinical performance after the diagnosis of White Coat Hypertension (WCH) by out-patient monitoring of blood pressure (OMBP). DESIGN: Descriptive, crossover study. SETTING: Primary Care. "La Orden" Health Centre, Huelva. PATIENTS: All the individuals diagnosed with WCH in 1995-6-7. WCH was defined as over 3 clinical measurements of blood pressure (BP) above 140 and/or 90 mmHg, and mean figures after OMBP below 135 and 85 mmHg for day-time systolic and diastolic pressure, respectively. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Initial OMBP was measured (Spacelabs 90207) and clinical histories were audited after monitoring. Means of clinical BP and systolic, diastolic and mean BP through OMBP were calculated. Clinical performance was assessed in four variables: 1) Counselling on life-style; 2) Periodic clinical BP controls; 3) Correct handling of OMBP; and 4) Correct indication of drug treatment. Statistical tests were used. 110 individuals diagnosed with WCH were included (49.14-10 years). Counselling on life-style took place in 41%, periodic control of clinical BP in 50%, correct handling of OMBP in 31.8%. Drug treatment was begun in 30.9%, with its indication correct in 47.1% of them. CONCLUSIONS: Life-style counselling, periodic control of clinical BP and correct handling of OMBP was scant (41, 50 and 31%), with a third of these diagnosed as hypertense and drug treatment without a correct criterion being indicated in half of the latter. Clinical treatment of WCH is not homogeneous.
