<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Introduction: </bold>Respiratory viral infections, including SARS-CoV-2, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza, rhinovirus, and adenovirus, are major causes of acute illness (ARI) in children. Symptom-based predictive models valuable tools for expediting diagnoses, particularly primary care settings. This study assessed the effectiveness machine learning-based estimating infection probabilities these common pediatric viruses using symptom data....
Provide a method for reusing National Institute of Statistics (INE) socioeconomic data and reconstructing the Spanish Health System primary care areas (PCA) from INE census tracts. The reconstruction PCA boundaries entailed aligning, assigning, integrating tracts within limits using 2022 2018 Atlas VPM digital maps. 36,282 were assigned to 2,405 PCA. alignment maps showed programmatic assignment 99.7% PCA; just ten must be manually assigned. net average income per capita distribution was...
Recently, the once archetype of public private partnership (PPP) in Spanish National Health System (SNHS), namely Alzira's Model, has come to an end. Advocates defended superiority PPPs over public-tenured provision, terms quality and technical efficiency. This paper profiles compares life-cycle performance with similar providers. Observational study on secondary data from virtually all hospital care episodes produced 51 integrated providers (i.e., administrative healthcare areas) 67...
There has been a growing awareness of the need for rigorously and transparent reported health research, to ensure reproducibility studies by future researchers. Health economic evaluations, comparative analysis alternative interventions in terms their costs consequences, have promoted as an important tool inform decision-making. The objective this study will be investigate extent which articles evaluations healthcare indexed MEDLINE incorporate research practices that promote transparency,...
Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) has been promoted as an important research methodology for determining the efficiency of healthcare technology and guiding medical decision-making. Our aim was to characterize collaborative patterns CEA conducted over past two decades in Spain.A systematic analysis carried out with information obtained through updated comprehensive literature review from reports health assessment agencies. We identified CEAs outcomes expressed a time-based summary measure...
In the statutory Spanish National Health System (SNHS), role of public provision is prominent. Nonetheless, since inception SNHS, Regional Authorities have also purchased hospital care from private not-for-profit or for-profit providers, usually complementing provision. Over years, autonomous community Valencia has championed use Public Private Partnerships (PPP) in form administrative concessions (AC) awarded to providers.

Several randomized clinical trials on the treatment of meniscal tears have shown that surgery is not superior to nonoperative in middle-aged and older adults. However, practice has changed consistently worldwide response this evidence, arthroscopic meniscectomy remains one most frequently performed operations.
Abstract Background Geographical variations in medical practice are expected to be small when the evidence about effectiveness and safety of a particular technology is abundant. This would case prescription conservative surgery breast cancer patients. In these cases, variation larger than by need, socioeconomic factors have been argued as an explanation. Objectives: Using ecologic design, our study aims at describing variability use surgical versus non-conservative treatment. Additionally,...
The aims of this study were to estimate the rate hospital emergency services (HES) visits per health area, associated percentage admissions and standardized HES utilization ratio, analyze their relationship with resources.We performed an ecological that combined information from distinct sources (Survey Health Care Hospitalization Establishments 2006 Minimum Data Set 2006) in 164 areas 14 autonomous communities (AC).Among 35.3 million inhabitants examined, there 16.2 (45.75 100 inhabitants);...
The objective of this study will be to synthesize the epidemiological evidence and evaluate validity associations between central nervous system disorders risk developing or dying from cancer. We perform an umbrella review systematic reviews conduct updated meta-analyses observational studies (cohort case-control) investigating association any cancer specific types Searches involving PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS Web Science used identify studies. In addition, online databases checked for...
Potentially Preventable Hospitalizations (PPH) are hospital admissions for conditions which preventable with timely and appropriate outpatient care being Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) one of the most relevant PPH. We estimate population age-sex standardized relative risk admission COPD-PPH by year area residence in Spanish National Health System (sNHS) during period 2002–2013. The study was conducted 203 Hospital Service Areas sNHS, using 2002 to 2013 a condition patients aged...
