The WHO has recently published the FRAX® tool to determine absolute risk of osteoporotic fracture at 10 years. This not yet been validated in Spain. A prospective observational study was undertaken women FRIDEX cohort (Barcelona) receiving bone active drugs baseline. Baseline measurements: known factors including those and a DXA. Follow up data on self-reported incident major fractures (hip, spine, humerus wrist) verified against patient records. calculation hip by website. work follows...
Objective Intravenous iron is widely used to treat deficiency in day-care units. Ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) allows administration of larger doses than sucrose (IS) each infusion (1000 mg vs. 200 mg). As FCM reduces the number infusions required but more expensive, we performed a cost-minimization analysis compare cost impact two drugs. Materials and Methods The dose 111 consecutive patients who received intravenous at gastrointestinal diseases unit from 8/2007 7/2008 were retrospectively...
Age-related bone loss is asymptomatic, and the morbidity of osteoporosis secondary to fractures that occur. Common sites fracture include spine, hip, forearm proximal humerus. Fractures at hip incur greatest mortality give rise highest direct costs for health services. Their incidence increases exponentially with age. Independently changes in population demography, age - sex- specific osteoporotic appears be increasing developing developed countries. This could mean more than double expected...
BACKGROUND: Ferric Carboxymaltose (FCM), Iron Sucrose (IS) and Oral (OI) are alternative treatments for preoperative anaemia.OBJECTIVE: To compare the cost implications, using a cost-minimization analysis, of three alternatives: FCM vs. IS OI treating iron-deficient anaemia before surgery in patients with colon cancer.METHODS: Data from 282 colorectal cancer were obtained previous study.One hundred eleven received FCS, 16 155 OI.Costs intravenous iron drugs Spanish Regulatory Agency.Direct...
To prospectively validate a model to predict hospital admission of patients given low-priority classification on emergency department triage and indicate the safety reverse triage.Single-center observational study prospective cohort risk incorporating demographic care process variables as well vital signs.

The rates of hidden infection and late diagnosis HIV still remain high in Western countries. Missed diagnostic opportunities represent the key point changing course epidemic.To evaluate feasibility results implementation a selective strategy to test for emergency department (ED) patients with six pre-defined medical situations: sexually transmitted infections, herpes zoster, community-acquired pneumonia, mononucleosis syndrome, practice chemsex (CS) or request post-exposure prophylaxis.This...
Dyspepsia and Helicobacter pylori are two of the most relevant digestive conditions in primary care. Several consensuses on subject have been published, but assimilation/implementation these guidelines is uncertain.To evaluate attitudes, perceptions, limitations, adherence to recommendations Spanish care physicians using an open online survey. Responses were anonymously codified. Estimated margin error was 3.4%. weighted by province, gender, age, type practice. Survey performed AEG-REDCap...
Bismuth quadruple therapies (BQTs) including bismuth, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and two antibiotics have been shown to be highly effective for treating
Background: Triple therapy with a proton pump inhibitor, clarithromycin and amoxicillin is widely used for H. pylori infection. The appropriate length of treatment remains controversial. Aim: To determine whether has an impact on the cost‐effectiveness triple therapy. Methods: study took form analysis spanning 2 years. perspective was societal setting, ambulatory care. Subjects were Helicobacter ‐positive patients duodenal ulcer. trials spanned 7, 10 or 14 days main outcome measures cost per...
Objective. To estimate the prevalence of unknown HIV infection in patients who consulted hospital emergency services (ED) for conditions defined SEMES-GESIDA Consensus Document (DC), evaluate efficiency its im-plementation and investigate serology determination other conditions. Methods. Results were reviewed 10 Catalan EDs 12 months (July-21-June-22) after implementing CD recommendations: request case suspected sexually transmitted infection, chemsex, post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP),...
The FRAX® tool estimates the risk of a fragility fracture among population and many countries have been evaluating its performance their populations since creation in 2007. purpose this study is to update first FRIDEX cohort analysis comparing FRAX with bone mineral density (BMD) model, predictive abilities.The discriminatory ability was assessed using 'area under curve' receiver operating characteristic (AUC-ROC). Predictive by estimated fractures incidence after 10-year follow up...
