Background: Adaptation of existing guidelines can be an efficient way to develop contextualized recommendations. Transparent reporting the adaptation approach support transparency and usability adapted guidelines. Objective: To extension RIGHT (Reporting Items for practice Guidelines in HealThcare) statement (including recommendations that have been adopted, adapted, or developed de novo), RIGHT-Ad@pt checklist.

Stakeholder participation is a key component of fair and equitable priority-setting in health. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for priority setting, hence, stakeholder participation. To date, there limited literature on development plans (including setting plans) that were rapidly developed during pandemic. Drawing global study national preparedness response plans, we present secondary analysis from 70 countries six WHO regions, focusing We found most prepared by Ministry Health...
Background In recent years, citizens have become more interested and willing to influence health policy decision-making, governments worldwide are prone citizen engagement in such processes. Prioritising which technologies should be publicly funded is one decision that requires prudence consideration of the values expectations people who will affected by it. Objective To identify understand citizens’ perceptions about Colombia. Design Sequential exploratory mixed methods study; first was a...
Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) are among those regions most affected by COVID-19 pandemic worldwide. The has strained health systems in region. In this context of severe healthcare resource constraints, there is a need for systematic priority-setting to support decision-making which ensures best use resources while considering needs vulnerable groups. aim paper was provide critical description analysis how considered response preparedness plans sample 14 LAC countries; identify...
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced governments across the world to consider how prioritise allocation of scarce resources. There are many tools and frameworks that have been designed assist with challenges priority setting in health care. purpose this study was examine extent which formal evident plans produced by countries World Health Organisation's EURO region, during first wave pandemic. This compliments analysis similar other regions world. Twenty four preparedness were obtained had...
Despite the swift governments' response to COVID-19 pandemic, there remains a paucity of literature assessing degree which; priority setting (PS) was included in pandemic plans and were publicly accessible. This paper reflects on methods employed global comparative analysis which countries integrated PS into their based Kapiriri & Martin's framework. We also assessed if accessibility related country's transparency index. Through three stage search strategy, we accessed reviewed 86 national...
El concepto de calidad vida (CV) se ha venido posicionando como un desenlace muy relevante en el ámbito clínico y la economía salud. Existen muchos instrumentos para medirla basados diferentes teorías. En esfuerzo por dar respuesta a esos enfoques introdujo resultados percibidos paciente (RPP), referirse toda información aportada los pacientes quienes completan instrumento; busca clasificar actuales acuerdo con modelos conceptuales que faciliten una selección aplicación más adecuadas. campo...
Priority setting represents an even bigger challenge during public health emergencies than routine times. This is because such compete with programmes for the available resources, strain systems and shift health-care attention resources towards containing spread of epidemic treating those that fall seriously ill. paper part a larger global study, aim which to evaluate degree national COVID-19 preparedness response plans incorporated priority concepts. It provides important insights into what...

This study aims to describe how was used support the initial stage of response a subset countries Western Pacific Region (WPR).
Cassava bacterial blight, caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis, is a widespread disease that affects cassava (Manihot esculenta). We collected 238 X. manihotis strains intensively sampling single fields in four edaphoclimatic zones (ECZs) Colombia. DNA polymorphism of different populations was assessed restriction fragment length (RFLP) analyses, repetitive sequence-based polymerase chain reaction (rep-PCR), and amplified (AFLP) assays. Genetic diversity, phenetic relationships...
ABSTRACT Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) were used to study the population genetics and temporal dynamics of cassava bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis. The addressed by comparing samples collected from 1995 1999 six locations, spanning four different edaphoclimatic zones (ECZs). Forty-five X. manihotis RFLP types or haplotypes identified between 1999. High genetic diversity strains was evident within most fields sampled. In all but one site, decreased...
The family of KIDSCREEN instruments is the only one with trans-cultural adaptation and validation in Colombia. These validations have been performed from classical test theory approach, which has evidenced satisfactory psychometric properties. aim this study was to evaluate properties KIDSCREEN-27 children parent-proxy versions, through Rasch analysis. participants present were two different sets populations, 321 kids a mean age 12.3 (SD 2.6), 41 % 8 11 years old 59 12 18 old; 1150 an...
The World Health Organization- South-East Asia Region (WHO-SEARO) accounted for almost 17% of all the confirmed cases and deaths COVID-19 worldwide. While literature has documented a weak response in WHO-SEARO, there been no discussion degree to which this could have influenced/ mitigated with integration priority setting (PS) region's response. purpose paper is describe plans from sample WHO-SEARO countries included setting.The study was based on an analysis national pandemic preparedness...
Background: Chile and Colombia are examples of Latin American countries with health systems shaped by similar values. Recently, both have crafted policies to regulate the participation private for-profit insurance companies in their systems, but through very different mechanisms. This study asks: what values important decision-making processes that these policies? And how why they used? Methods: An embedded multiple-case design was carried out for 2 specific decisions each country: (1)...
