Fundamentos El estilo de vida es un constructo teórico que está formado por los hábitos de vida de un sujeto. El análisis y la cuantificación objetivable del estilo de vida, puede tener un gran impacto sobre la salud de las personas, así como en la evolución del estado de la misma con el transcurso de los años. El objetivo de la presente investigación ha sido la validación de la Escala de valoración del estilo de vida saludable adquirido (E-VEVSA) en adultos españoles. Métodos Sobre una muestra inicial para las pruebas exploratorias de 248 sujetos y final para las pruebas confirmatorias de 780 sujetos, de edades comprendidas entre los 22 y 72 años de edad, se realizaron pruebas psicométricas exploratorias y confirmatorias basadas en el estadístico alfa de Cronbach (fiabilidad) y análisis factorial exploratorio con rotación oblicua (oblimin) y confirmatorio con rotación varimax (validez de constructo), que dieron lugar a un instrumento definitivo formado por 52 ítems y estructurado en siete dimensiones: Responsabilidad individual en el cuidado de la salud (nueve ítems), hábitos de práctica físico-deportiva (seis ítems), hábitos de salud en las relaciones sociales (10 ítems), hábito de consumo de tabaco y alcohol (nueve ítems), hábito de alimentación saludable (siete ítems), hábito de salud psicológica (seis ítems) y hábito de descanso y sueño diario (cinco ítems). Resultados Todos los ítems explicaron una varianza total de 66,87% y un alfa de Cronbach de 0,894, estando por encima de 0,700 el alfa parcial de cada dimensión o factor. Conclusiones Los resultados arrojan pruebas psicométricas que confirman la validez de la escala E-VEVSA como un instrumento útil para medir el estilo de vida saludable adquirido en personas adultas (AU)

[Cross-cultural adaptation to Spanish of the Signs of Depression Scale (SODS) to the early assessment of mood in patients admitted to a Stroke Unit]. / Adaptación transcultural al español de la Signs of Depression Scale (SODS) para la evaluación precoz del estado de ánimo en pacientes ingresados en una unidad de ictus.

INTRODUCTION: Stroke hospitalization negatively affects mood. Clinical guidelines recommend early evaluation of mood disorders. However, there is no consensus on the most appropriate scale in Spanish language. AIM: The objective of the study is the cross-cultural adaptation of the Signs of Depression Scale (SODS) in patients admitted to the stroke unit of the Hospital del Mar. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The work scheme for transcultural adaptation into Spanish was: a) direct translation; b) reconciliation and synthesis of translations; c) reverse translation into English; d) consensus of the back-translated version with original author; e) cognitive interrogation; f) revision and consensus version in Spanish; g) reading test, spelling, and grammar check; h) final version. Analysis and descriptive summary of the adaptation process was performed. RESULTS: There were no differences between direct translation versions. The back-translation version was accepted by the author of the original questionnaire. A convenience sample of patients with/without aphasia (n = 22) was included for cognitive interview from which no major problems were identified in the implementation of the questionnaire. Inclusive language was used in the final version. CONCLUSION: The transcultural adaptation of the scale allows in a simple and early way the evaluation mood in patients admitted to the stroke unit. The Spanish version is equivalent to the original instrument. This adaptation can be incorporated into care in the Stroke Unit and is extrapolated to other Spanish-speaking centres.

OBJETIVO: comunicar los datos de nutrición parenteral domiciliaria (NPD) obtenidos del registro del grupo NADYA-SENPE (www.nadya-senpe.com) del año 2018. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: análisis descriptivo de los datos recogidos de pacientes adultos y pediátricos con NPD en el registro NADYA-SENPE del 1 de enero al 31 de diciembre de 2018. RESULTADOS: se registraron 278 pacientes (54,7 % mujeres), 23 niños y 255 adultos, procedentes de 45 hospitales españoles, lo que representa una tasa de prevalencia de 5,95 pacientes/millón de habitantes/año 2018. El diagnóstico más frecuente en adultos fue "oncológico paliativo" (22,0 %), seguido de "otros". En niños fue la enfermedad de Hirschsprung junto con la enterocolitis necrotizante, con cuatro casos (17,4 %). El primer motivo de indicación fue síndrome de intestino corto tanto en niños (60,9 %) como en adultos (35,7 %). El tipo de catéter más utilizado fue el tunelizado tanto en niños (81,0 %) como en adultos (41,1 %). Finalizaron 75 episodios, la causa más frecuente fue el fallecimiento (52,0 %) y el paso a vía oral (33,3 %). CONCLUSIONES: el número de centros y profesionales colaboradores en el registro de pacientes que reciben NPD se mantiene estable, así como las principales indicaciones y los motivos de finalización de la NPD

AIM: to communicate home parenteral nutrition (HPN) data obtained from the HPN registry of the NADYA-SENPE group (www.nadya-senpe.com) for the year 2018. MATERIAL AND METHODS: descriptive analysis of the data collected from adult and pediatric patients with HPN in the NADYA-SENPE group registry from January 1st, 2018 to December 31st, 2018. RESULTS: there were 278 patients from 45 Spanish hospitals (54.7 % women), 23 children and 255 adults, which represent a prevalence rate of 5.95 patients/million inhabitants/year 2018. The most frequent diagnosis in adults was "palliative cancer" (22.0 %), followed by "others". In children it was Hirschsprung's disease together with necrotizing enterocolitis, with four cases (17.4 %). The first indication was short bowel syndrome in both children (60.9 %) and adults (35.7 %). The most frequently used type of catheter was tunneled in both children (81.0 %) and adults (41.1 %). Ending 75 episodes, the most frequent cause was death (52.0 %) and change to oral feeding (33.3 %). CONCLUSIONS: the number of centers and collaborating professionals in the registry of patients receiving HPN remains stable, as well as the main indications and reasons for termination of HPN

Use of an Electronic Clinical Decision Support System in Primary Care to Assess Inappropriate Polypharmacy in Young Seniors With Multimorbidity: Observational, Descriptive, Cross-sectional Study.

BACKGROUND: Multimorbidity is a global health problem that is usually associated with polypharmacy, which increases the risk of potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP). PIP entails higher hospitalization rates and mortality and increased usage of services provided by the health system. Tools exist to improve prescription practices and decrease PIP, including screening tools and explicit criteria that can be applied in an automated manner. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to describe the prevalence of PIP in primary care consultations among patients aged 65-75 years with multimorbidity and polypharmacy, detected by an electronic clinical decision support system (ECDSS) following the 2015 American Geriatrics Society Beers Criteria, the European Screening Tool of Older Person's Prescription (STOPP), and the Screening Tool to Alert doctors to Right Treatment (START). METHODS: This was an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study. The sample included 593 community-dwelling adults aged 65-75 years (henceforth called young seniors), with multimorbidity (≥3 diseases) and polypharmacy (≥5 medications), who had visited their primary care doctor at least once over the last year at 1 of the 38 health care centers participating in the Multimorbidity and Polypharmacy in Primary Care (Multi-PAP) trial. Sociodemographic data, clinical and pharmacological treatment variables, and PIP, as detected by 1 ECDSS, were recorded. A multivariate logistic regression model with robust estimators was built to assess the factors affecting PIP according to the STOPP criteria. RESULTS: PIP was detected in 57.0% (338/593; 95% CI 53-61) and 72.8% (432/593; 95% CI 69.3-76.4) of the patients according to the STOPP criteria and the Beers Criteria, respectively, whereas 42.8% (254/593; 95% CI 38.9-46.8) of the patients partially met the START criteria. The most frequently detected PIPs were benzodiazepines (BZD) intake for more than 4 weeks (217/593, 36.6%) using the STOPP version 2 and the prolonged use of proton pump inhibitors (269/593, 45.4%) using the 2015 Beers Criteria. Being a woman (odds ratio [OR] 1.43, 95% CI 1.01-2.01; P=.04), taking a greater number of medicines (OR 1.25, 95% CI 1.14-1.37; P<.001), working in the primary sector (OR 1.91, 95% CI 1.25-2.93; P=.003), and being prescribed drugs for the central nervous system (OR 3.75, 95% CI 2.45-5.76; P<.001) were related to a higher frequency of PIP. CONCLUSIONS: There is a high prevalence of PIP in primary care as detected by an ECDSS in community-dwelling young seniors with comorbidity and polypharmacy. The specific PIP criteria defined by this study are consistent with the current literature. This ECDSS can be useful for supervising prescriptions in primary health care consultations.

Influencia de un programa de ejercicio físico terapéutico en diferentes indicadores clínicos relacionados con la dislipidemia en sujetos adultos de 26 a 73 años con algún factor de riesgo cardiovascular / Influence of a programme of therapeutic exercise on different clinical indicators related to dyslipidaemia in adult subjects aged between 26 to 73 years with a cardiovascular risk factor

Introducción: El sedentarismo es señalado en la literatura internacional como una de las principales causas de la aparición de algunos factores de riesgo cardiovascular. Objetivo: Valorar la influencia de un programa de ejercicio físico terapéutico en diferentes indicadores clínicos relacionados con la dislipidemia (colesterol total, HDL y LDL), en sujetos sedentarios que presentan algún factor de riesgo cardiovascular. Método: Estudio de intervención con evaluación antes y después de una muestra formada por 340 pacientes (132 varones y 208 mujeres) derivados de los 2 centros de atención primaria del municipio de Molina de Segura (Murcia) y que participaron en un programa de 30 semanas de ejercicio físico que combinaba circuitos de trabajo de acondicionamiento muscular con otros de resistencia cardiorrespiratoria. En cuanto a los indicadores clínicos, los profesionales sanitarios recogieron en el historial médico aquellos indicadores de salud correspondientes a la evolución biológica del proceso por el cual los sujetos estudiados habían iniciado el programa de ejercicio físico. Resultados: Los análisis estadísticos muestran una mejora significativa (p < 0,005) en el indicador de LDL y una mejora no significativa en los indicadores de colesterol total y HDL tras la realización de un programa de 3 meses de ejercicio físico con una frecuencia de 3 sesiones semanales. Conclusiones: La prescripción de ejercicio físico en sujetos dislipémicos desde los centros de atención primaria se debe valorar como recurso para la mejora de los indicadores clínicos propios de su enfermedad

Introduction: A sedentary lifestyle is indicated in the international literature as one of the main causes for the onset of some cardiovascular risk factors. Objective: To assess the effect of a therapeutic physical exercise programme on different clinical indicators related to dyslipidaemia (total cholesterol, HDL and LDL) in sedentary subjects with a cardiovascular risk factor. Method: Intervention study with before-and-after evaluation of a sample of 340 patients (132 males and 208 females) referred from the 2 primary care centres of the municipality of Molina de Segura (Murcia), and who participated in a 30-week programme of physical exercise combining muscle-conditioning work circuits with other cardio-respiratory resistance workouts. Regarding the clinical indicators, the health professionals collected in the medical history the health indicators corresponding to the biological evolution of the process for which the subjects studied had started the physical exercise programme. Results: The statistical analyses showed a significant improvement (p<.005) in the LDL indicator and a non-significant improvement in total and HDL cholesterol indicators after a 3-month exercise programme of 3 weekly sessions. Conclusions: The prescription of physical exercise in dyslipidaemic subjects from primary care centre should be evaluated as a resource for improving the clinical indicators specific to their pathology

Reconstrucción de la cápsula superior en las roturas irreparables del manguito mediante injerto autógeno de isquiotibiales / Superior capsular reconstruction of irreparable rotator cuff tear using autologous hamstring graft

Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio es investigar los resultados clínicos y los hallazgos radiográficos tras la reconstrucción de la cápsula superior (RCS) en las roturas irreparables posterosuperiores sintomáticas (RIPS) del manguito de los rotadores mediante una nueva técnica de RCS utilizando injerto autógeno de isquiotibiales. Material y métodos: Desde 2014 hasta 2016, 8 hombros en 8 pacientes (edad media de 59,6 años) con RIPS fueron tratados con la RCS utilizando injerto autógeno de isquiotibiales. El examen físico, Rx y RM fueron realizados antes de la cirugía y a los 12 meses. Se ha realizado un análisis descriptivo de las variables y se ha utilizado test no paramétrico de los signos para comparar las medidas tomadas antes de la cirugía y a los 12 meses. Resultados: Encontramos una mejoría en el test de Costant: de 49 antes de ser intervenido a 77,25 al año de la RCS. La media de flexión activa aumentó de forma significativa de 99,3° a 142,5°. La distancia media HA preoperatoria aumentó de 5,25mm (rango de 3 a 7mm) antes de la cirugía a 8,18mm (rango de 6 a 10,5) tras la RCS. No hubo roturas del injerto durante el seguimiento Conclusión: La RCS con injerto de isquiotibiales mejora la función del hombro en las RIPS. Es una técnica alternativa al tratamiento de dichas lesiones sin cerrar las puertas a otras cirugías

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical results and radiographic findings after superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) of postero-superior symptomatic irreparable rotator cuff tears (PSIRCT) using a new SCR technique using autologous hamstring graft Material and methods: From 2014 to 2016, 8 shoulders of 8 patients (mean age 59.6 years) with PSIRCT underwent SCR using autologous hamstring graft. Physical examination, X-ray and MRI were performed before the surgery and 12 months after it. A descriptive analysis was performed of the variables, and the non-parametric test of signs comparing the measurements taken before the operation and 12 months after it. Results: We found an improvement in the Constant test from 49 before the SCR to 77.25 one year after the operation. The mean active flexion significantly increased from 99.3° to 142.5°. The mean preoperative AH distance increased from 5.25 (range from 3 to 7) before surgery to 8.18 (range from 6 to 10.5) after the SCR. There were no tears of the graft during follow-up. Conclusion: SCR with a hamstring graft improves the function of the shoulder in PSIRCT, and is an alternative technique for treating these injuries without closing the door to other types of surgery

El diagnóstico más frecuente en adultos fue "oncológico paliativo" (25,6%), seguido de "otros". En niños fue la enfermedad de Hirschsprung, con seis casos (15,8%). El primer motivo de indicación fue síndrome de intestino corto tanto en niños (55,3%) como en adultos (33,7%). El tipo de catéter más utilizado fue el tunelizado tanto en niños (74,3%) como en adultos (38,2%). Finalizaron 81 episodios; la causa más frecuente fue el fallecimiento (62,9%) y que pasaron a vía oral (34,7%). Conclusiones: se mantiene el incremento progresivo de centros y profesionales colaboradores en el registro de pacientes que reciben NPD. Las principales indicaciones de NPD y de motivo de finalización se mantienen estables

Aim: to communicate HPN data obtained from the HPN registry of the NADYA-SENPE group (www.nadya-senpe.com) for the year 2017. Material and methods: descriptive analysis of the data collected from adult and pediatric patients with HPN in the NADYA-SENPE group registry from January 1st, 2017 to December 31st, 2017. Results: there were 308 patients from 45 Spanish hospitals (54.5% women), 38 children and 270 adults, with 3,012 episodes, which represent a prevalence rate of 6.61 patients/million inhabitants/year 2017. The most frequent diagnosis in adults was "palliative cancer" (25.6%), followed by "others". In children, it was Hirschsprung's disease with six cases (15.8%). The first indication was short bowel syndrome in both children (55.3%) and adults (33.7%). The most frequently used type of catheter was tunneled in both children (73.4%) and adults (38.2%). Ending 81 episodes, the most frequent cause was death (62.9%) and transition to oral feeding (34.7%). Conclusions: the progressive increase of collaborating centers and professionals in the registry of patients receiving NPD is maintained. The main indications of HPN and the motive for ending have remained stable

Persistencia y medicación concomitante en pacientes con vejiga hiperactiva tratados con antimuscarínicos en atención primaria: estudio de base observacional / Persistence and concomitant medication in patients with overactive bladder treated with antimuscarinic agents in primary care. An observational baseline study

Objetivo: Evaluar la persistencia terapéutica y su relación con la medicación concomitante en pacientes tratados con fesoterodina frente a tolterodina y solifenacina para el tratamiento de la vejiga hiperactiva en condiciones de práctica médica habitual. Material y métodos: Se efectuó un diseño observacional, multicéntrico, retrospectivo, realizado a partir de registros médicos de pacientes seguidos en atención primaria. Se analizaron los 3 grupos de estudio. La persistencia se definió como el tiempo (meses), sin abandono del tratamiento inicial o sin cambio a otra medicación al menos 30 días después de la prescripción inicial. La medicación concomitante fue: antidepresivos, ansiolíticos/hipnóticos, antibióticos, antisépticos, laxantes y productos-dermatológicos. Se utilizó el programa SPSSWIN versión 17 (significación estadística: p < 0,05). Resultados: Se seleccionaron para el estudio 3.094 pacientes. La media de edad fue de 54,0 años y el 62,2% fueron mujeres. Los pacientes tratados con fesoterodina mostraron mayor persistencia al tratamiento (12 meses) en comparación con solifenacina y tolterodina (40,2% frente al 34,7% y 33,6%; p = 0,008), respectivamente. Además, también mostraron un menor uso de medicación concomitante (1,1 frente a 1,2 y 1,2 fármacos; porcentajes: 61,6% frente a 67,1% y 70,1%; p < 0,03). Conclusiones: Los pacientes en tratamiento con fesoterodina frente a solifenacina y tolterodina para la vejiga hiperactiva se asociaron a una mayor persistencia al tratamiento, con una reducción de la medicación concomitante

Objective: To assess therapeutic persistence and its relationship with concomitant medication in patients treated with fesoterodine versus tolterodine and solifenacin for overactive bladder (OAB) in standard clinical practice conditions. Material and methods: An observational, multicentre retrospective study was performed based on medical registries of patients followed-up in primary care (PC). Three study groups were analysed. Persistence was defined as the time (in months) without withdrawing from the initial therapy or without changing to another medication for at least 30 days after the initial prescription. The concomitant medications were antidepressants, anxiolytic/hypnotic agents, antibiotics, antiseptic agents, laxatives and skin products. We employed the SPSSWIN program version 17 (statistical significance, P < .05). Results: We selected 3094 patients for the study. The median age was 54.0 years and 62.2% were women. The patients treated with fesoterodine shown greater treatment persistence (12 months) when compared with those who took solifenacin and tolterodine (40.2% vs. 34.7% and 33.6%, respectively; P = .008). They also showed a lower use of concomitant medication (1.1 vs. 1.2 and 1.2 drugs, respectively; percentages: 61.6% vs. 67.1% and 70.1%, respectively; P < .03). Conclusions: The patients undergoing OAB treatment with fesoterodine, when compared with those taking solifenacin and tolterodine, were associated with greater treatment persistence and a reduced use of concomitant medication
