RESUMO

Objetivo. Evaluar de forma comparada la demanda de atención sanitaria pública en dos unidades de trastornos de la identidad de género (Andalucía y Cataluña) durante la década 2000-2009. Método. Estudio descriptivo y comparativo de la demanda sanitaria, características de los solicitantes y cirugías realizadas. Resultados. Han solicitado asistencia sanitaria 828 pacientes en Andalucía y 549 en Cataluña. En ambas comunidades es similar el porcentaje de casos que cumplen criterios de transexualismo (88 vs. 89,8%), la frecuencia de casos excluidos del programa de reasignación sexual (16,7 vs. 15,3%), la razón de sexos hombre/mujer (1,6:1 vs. 2,1:1), y la edad media (28 vs. 29 años). Se han realizado 284 cirugías de reasignación sexual en Andalucía y 50 en Cataluña. Conclusiones. La demanda en Andalucía se ha mantenido estable y en Cataluña se ha incrementado en los últimos años. Las características demográficas y clínicas de los pacientes transexuales son similares y acordes con la mayoría de estudios realizados en otros países(AU)

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the epidemiology of transsexualism in the autonomous community of Catalonia according to data gathered at the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona, the single public hospital providing specialized psychiatric and endocrinological care for transsexual patients in this community. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Prevalence was calculated on the basis of the total number of patients diagnosed of transsexualism (ICD-10, F64.0) at the Hospital Clinic and living in Catalonia, and the incidence by counting all new cases of transsexuals for the last 5 years, based on the population census between 15 and 65 years of age. RESULTS: During the period from 1996 through 2004 a total of 201 subjects were referred to this hospital with complaints of gender dysphoria. Transsexualism was diagnosed in 182 patients, 161 of whom were living in Catalonia. This yields a prevalence rate in Catalonia of 1:21,031 males and 1:48,096 females. The sex ratio was 2.6. Annual incidence in the last five years was 0.73/100,000/year. DISCUSSION: The low prevalence compared with recently published data from European Union countries may be due to the relatively few years of data collection and to the low clinical demand because surgical procedures costs are not covered by the public health insurance. In contrast, the high incidence may be due to the increasing demand since 2000, when a more benevolent and tolerant social climate in Spain started.

RESUMO

Introducción. Se realiza una estimación de la distribución epidemiológica del transexualismo en Cataluña según la demanda observada en el Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, que es el único hospital público que proporciona atención psiquiátrica y endocrinológica especializada a estos pacientes en esta comunidad autónoma. Pacientes y método. La prevalencia se calculó según el número total de pacientes diagnosticados de transexualismo (CIE-10, F64.0) en el Hospital Clínic residentes en Cataluña y la incidencia según el número de pacientes con nuevo diagnóstico durante los últimos 5 años en relación con los datos de población de edad entre 15 y 65 años. Resultados. Entre los años 1996 y 2004 solicitaron atención por disforia de género un total de 201 pacientes. Se diagnosticó transexualismo en 182 pacientes, de los cuales 161 vivían en Cataluña. La prevalencia estimada de transexualismo en Cataluña fue de 1:21.031 varones y 1:48.096 mujeres. La razón de sexos fue de 2,6 a favor del grupo de transexuales hombre a mujer. La incidencia media anual en los últimos 5 años fue de 0,72/100.000 habitantes/año. Discusión. La baja prevalencia observada, en comparación con los datos publicados por países de la Unión Europea, se puede atribuir al período corto de recogida de datos y a la baja demanda registrada al no estar financiado el tratamiento de reasignación de sexo por el Sistema Nacional de Salud. La elevada incidencia se puede atribuir al incremento de la demanda desde el año 2000, que coincide con un clima social de mayor aceptación y tolerancia

RESUMO

Fundamento: El Síndrome de Fatiga Crónica (SFC) es una enfermedad claramente invalidante que altera la calidad de vida y tiene una marcada repercusión funcional en los pacientes. Objetivos: En pacientes con SFC, valorar: 1)Parámetros de Calidad de Vida Relacionada con la Salud (CVRS) y Repercusión funcional (RF), 2) Grado de afectación con una escala clínica funcional. 3) Presencia e influencia de comorbilidad asociada y 4) Relación de los parámetros de CVRS y RF con los valores poblacionales de referencia (VPR) y con los de un grupo de pacientes de similar edad afectos de artritis reumatoide (AR). Metodología: Trabajo descriptivo transversal con inclusión consecutiva de 100 pacientes afectos de SFC. 1) Estudio de datos epidemiológicos y de situación laboral. 2) Valoración de grado de afectación del SFC en una escala clínica de afectación progresiva (grados I a IV). 3) Valoración de comorbilidades: Fibromialgia, Síndrome seco, Obesidad, Distimia, Disfunción tiroidal, Colon irritable y Endometriosis 4) Valoración de CVRS con el cuestionario genérico validado Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form (SF-36) y de la RF con el cuestionario específico validado Standford Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ). 5) Comparación de resultados con VPR y con pacientes afectos de AR. Resultados y conclusiones: El grado de afectación funcional era moderado (II) en la mitad de casos, y leve (I) o grave (III-IV) en un 25% de casos, respectivamente. Existían alteraciones valorables en los índices de puntuación de todas las dimensiones del cuestionario HAQ. En los pacientes con SFC existía una mayor afectación de parámetros de CVRS (SF-36) en comparación tanto con parámetros poblacionales como con pacientes con AR. Las dimensiones más relacionadas con el empeoramiento funcional fueron la Función física, el Rol físico, la Vitalidad, la Función Social y el Rol emocional. Existía una correlación positiva entre la escala clínica de afectación funcional y la mayoría de dimensiones del SF- 36. El índice de incapacidad funcional medida con el HAQ presentaba una alta correlación con las puntuaciones de la dimensión función física del SF-36 y de la dimensión dolor corporal. Se objetivó una media de 2,4 tipos diferentes de co-morbilidad en cada paciente con SFC, existiendo una correlación inversa con las dimensiones de CVRS. Conclusiones: En pacientes con SFC existe una marcada afectación de los parámetros de CVRS y RF, superior a los parámetros poblacionales e incluso a los de pacientes afectos de AR. La presencia de comorbilidad supone un mayor empeoramiento funcional. El empleo de una escala clínica de afectación progresiva es útil en la valoración funcional de estos pacientes. Para mejorar potencialmente la CVRS en pacientes con SFC deberá incidirse en modificar las dimensiones afectadas, sobre todo la función física, el dolor corporal y el tratamiento de las comorbilidades


Background: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a disabling disease that modifies the quality of life and supposes a marked functional impairment of patients. Aim of Study: In patients with CFS, to evaluate: 1) Health-related quality of life (HRQL) and Functional impairment (FI) parameters, 2) Gradation of FI with a clinical scale. 3) Presence and influence of comorbidity related to CFS, and 4) Relationship between HRQL and FI parameters in CFS with standard population values, and with values form a group of patients of similar age affected of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Patients and Methods: Cross-sectional study with consecutive inclusion of 100 patients affected of CFS. Evaluation of: 1) Epidemiological data and work situation at diagnosis. 2) Function impairment evaluation with a clinical scale of progressive involvement (degrees I to IV). 3) Evaluation of comorbilities: Fibromyalgia, Sicca Syndrome, Obesity, Dysthymia, Thyroid dysfunction, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Endometriosis 4) Evaluation of HRQL with the validated Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form (SF-36) questionnaire and evaluation of FI with the specific Standford Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ). 5) Comparison of results in CFS with those of general population and also with patients affected of RA. Results: In CFS, the functional impairment was moderate (II) in half of patients, and slight (I) or severe (III-IV) in a quarter, respectively. All dimensions of HAQ questionnaire were affected. HRQL parameters measured with SF-36 questionnaire were more affected in patients with CFS as compared to standard population values as well as in comparison to patients affected of RA. The dimensions mainly related to FI were physical function, physical role, vitality, social function and emotional role. There was a direct relationship between the clinical functional scale and most of the SF-36 dimensions. The function disability index measured by HAQ highly related with values of physical role and body pain from SF-36 questionnaire. Patients with CFS presented a mean of 2.4 different types of comorbidity, with an inverse relationship with HRQL dimensions. Conclusions: In patients with CFS there is a clear decrease of HRQL and FI parameters, with significantly lower values as compared to standard population and also to patients with RA. The presence of co morbidity supposes a major degree in functional disability. A clinical scale evaluating progressive degree of involvements was useful in the functional evaluation of patients with CFS. To potentially improve the HRQL and FI in patients with CFS we should address to modify those dimensions clearly affected, mainly physical function, body pain as well as treatment of comorbidities
