Background Published influenza vaccination coverage in health care workers (HCW) are calculated using two sources: self-report and records. The objective of this study was to determine whether is a good proxy for recorded HCW, as the degree relationship not known, vaccine behaviour influences self-reporting. Methods A cross-sectional conducted self-administered survey during September 2010. Considering record gold standard vaccination, properties (sensitivity, specificity, positive...
The usefulness of cardiovascular disease (CVD) predictive equations in different populations is debatable. We assessed the efficacy Framingham-REGICOR scale, validated for Spanish population, to identify future CVD participants, who were predefined as being at high-risk PREvención con DIeta MEDiterránea (PREDIMED) study-a nutrition-intervention primary prevention trial-and impact adherence Mediterranean diet on across risk categories.In a post hoc analysis, we value baseline estimated 5966...
The low acceptance of influenza vaccination by both medical students and healthcare workers (HCWs) signals the need for innovative strategies. We administered an anonymous questionnaire to 410 University Barcelona who were asked about using Internet find information on HCWs their willingness use technical informal Facebook pages as channel this topic. Of participants, 74.1 percent female 58.3 in first preclinical 3-year university cycle. A total 7.6 participants reported queries vaccination,...
Influenza vaccination coverage in medical students is usually low. Unlike health care workers, there little information on the attitudes to and predictors of among students, their towards institutional strategies for improving rates are unknown. This cross-sectional study evaluated effect three influenza promotional (Web page, video tri-fold brochure) students' intention get vaccinated associated factors. A total 538 were asked answer an anonymous questionnaire assessing after exposure any...
Vaccine effectiveness (VE) studies with long-term follow-up are needed to understand durability of protection against severe COVID-19 outcomes conferred by primary-series vaccination in individuals not receiving boosters. COVIDRIVE is a European public-private partnership evaluating brand-specific vaccine (VE). We report prespecified interim analysis AZD1222 (ChAdOx1 nCoV-19) VE.Seven Study Contributors Europe collected data on aged ≥18 years who were hospitalised acute respiratory infection...
Background COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy seems to be universal across countries and subgroups, so are its determinants. We studied the willingness factors associated with decision vaccinated against in healthcare workers (HCW) a Spanish tertiary hospital. Furthermore, we compared percentage of vaccinate COVID actual vaccination rates among HCW our Methods From December 21, 2020 January 4, 2021, before initiation campaign at Germans Trias i Pujol University Hospital (HUGTiP), an anonymous...
Influenza vaccination coverage remains low among health care workers (HCWs) in many facilities. This study describes the social network defined by HCWs’ conversations around an influenza campaign order to describe role played behavior and other HCW characteristics configuration of links subjects. used cross-sectional data from 235 HCWs interviewed after 2010/2011 at Hospital Clinic Barcelona (HCB), Spain.

Abstract Influenza is an important cause of severe illness and death among patients with underlying medical conditions in the elderly. The aim this study was to investigate factors associated ICU admission hospitalized laboratory-confirmed influenza during 2017–2018 season Catalonia. An observational epidemiological case-to-case carried out. Reported cases requiring hospitalization were included. Mixed-effects regression analysis used estimate death. A total 1306 included, whom 175 (13.4%)...
Introduction Influenza vaccination rates in risk groups remain suboptimal. Evidence supporting a significant association between influenza and severe illness is limited. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the epidemiological characteristics of out- inpatients with laboratory-confirmed infection attended during 2018–19 epidemic season. coverage by indication was analyzed. Logistic regression used to compare odds non-severe influenza-positive patients. Severe cases were defined as presenting...
Health Care Workers (HCW) may have an occupational risk of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and TB disease. The objective this study was to evaluate the performance 2-step strategy: tuberculin skin test (TST) followed by confirmation with Interferon (IFN)-γ- release assays (IGRAs) in HCW. A secondary determine factors related conversions reversions. HCW at exposure who attended Occupational Department Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol were included during period (2013–2016). All...
