Objective Reducing backlogs for elective care is a priority healthcare systems. We conducted an interrupted time series analysis demonstrating the effect of algorithm placing automatic test order sets prior to first specialist appointment on avoidable follow-up appointments and attendance rates. Design Interrupted analysis. Setting 4 academic hospitals from Madrid, Spain. Participants Patients referred primary attending 10 033 470 outpatient 16 clinical specialties during 6-year period (1...
Studies exploring the experience of patients receiving home respiratory therapies (HRT), such as long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) and mechanical ventilation (HMV), are still limited. This study focused on patients' carers' with LTOT HMV. An exploratory, cross-sectional qualitative study, using semi-structured focus groups, was carried out 18 HRT (median 71y, 78% male, 56% both HMV) 6 carers age 67y, 67% female). Three groups were conducted in three regions Portugal. Thematic analysis...
Mitochondrial myopathies are a group of diseases characterized by metabolic defects at the mitochondrial respiratory chain level which result in impaired oxidative phosphorylation and ATP synthesis. As with other neuromuscular diseases, muscles can be affected ventilatory failure may occur. There have been isolated case reports pregnant patients due to such as polio spinal muscular atrophy. We describe 34-year-old patient myopathy requiring non-invasive ventilation who carried two...
The objective of this study was to estimate the economic impact introduction DuoResp® Spiromax®, budesonide/formoterol fixed-dose combination (FDC), focusing on an increase in medication adherence due enhancement inhalation technique for treatment COPD patients Spain and 5 regions including Andalusia, Catalonia, Galicia, Madrid, Valencia.A 4-year budget model developed time period 2015-2018. This aimed at evaluating associated with DuoResp Spiromax comparison Symbicort® Turbuhaler® Rilast®...
Home-based models represent one of the solutions to respond poor accessibility pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) services in patients with chronic respiratory disease (CRD). The main goal this protocol is present implementation first nationwide home-based PR program—reabilitAR—in Portugal and strategies assess its benefits CRD. program consists 2 phases: a 12-week intensive phase 40-week maintenance (total: 52 weeks, 1 year). intervention both phases composed presential home visits phone-call...
The health effects of air pollution have been subject to intense study in recent years. These found short-term studies, which relate day-to-day variations and health, long-term followed cohorts exposed individuals over time. Epidemiological evidence has concurred with clinical experimental correlate current levels ambient pollution, both indoors outdoors, respiratory effects. association between exposure lung cancer risk indicates that may cause cancer. In the 1950s an ongoing epidemic...
Patients’ and carers’ views regarding the Portuguese model of home respiratory care were recently described, yet complementary perspective healthcare professionals (HCPs) is still to be investigated. Thus, this study explored HCPs experience in management patients needing therapies (HRT), their about model. A phenomenological descriptive study, using focus groups, was carried out with 28 (median 42 y, 68% female) distinct backgrounds (57% pulmonologists, 29% clinical physiologists, 7%...
