Burnout is a growing problem among healthcare professionals and may be mitigated even prevented by measures designed to promote empathy resilience.We studied the association between burnout in primary care practitioners Lleida, Spain investigated possible differences according age, sex, profession, place of practice (urban versus rural).All general (GPs) family nurses health district Lleida (population 366 000) were asked email anonymously complete Maslach Inventory (MBI) Jefferson Scale...
The study of endogenous insulin secretion may provide relevant insight into the comparison natural history adult onset latent autoimmune diabetes (LADA) with types 1 and 2 mellitus. aim this was to compare results C-peptide response mixed-meal stimulation in LADA patients different disease durations subjects type adult-onset diabetes. Stimulated assessed using tolerance test (n = 32), mellitus 33) 30). All were 30 70 years old at onset. duration all groups ranged from 6 months 10 years....
Background— Predictors of antiplatelet therapy discontinuation (ATD) during the first year after drug-eluting stent implantation are poorly known. Methods and Results— This was a prospective study with 3-, 6-, 9-, 12-month follow-up patients receiving at least 1 between January April 2008 in 29 hospitals. Individual- hospital-level predictors ATD were assessed by hierarchical-multinomial regression analysis. could be 1622 candidates for (82.5%). A total 234 (14.4%) interrupted drug,...
At present, there are no objective data specifically examining the clinical impact of variations in exercise capacity post-transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We describe changes between baseline and 6 months post-TAVR, ascertain factors associated with implications a lack improvement post-TAVR.A total 305 patients (mean age, 79±9 years; 44% men; Society Thoracic Surgeons predicted risk mortality score, 6.7±4.2%) undergoing TAVR completed both follow-up assessments at post-TAVR....
The risk of selection bias in registries and its consequences are relatively unexplored. We sought to assess a recent registry about acute coronary syndrome explore the way conducting reporting patient syndrome.We analyzed data from patients national undergoing an audit comprehensiveness recruitment/inclusion. Patients initially included by hospital investigators (n=3265) were compared eligible nonincluded (missed) (n=1439). assessed, for 25 exposure variables, deviation in-hospital...
To determine the prevalence of aortic valve sclerosis (ASC) and stenosis (AS) in elderly a Mediterranean area to identify associated clinical factors. Population cross-sectional study random sample 1068 people ≥65 years area. ASC was categorized as absent, mild-to-moderate, or moderate-to-severe depending on severity thickening calcification. The relation between potential risk factors assessed by multinomial logistic regression analysis. Some degree and/or calcification present 45.4%,...
The aim of this study was to characterize the clinical characteristics and insulin secretion in adults with latent autoimmune diabetes (LADA). We also compared these subjects antibody-negative type 2 (T2DM) or adult-onset 1 (T1DM) LADA.In cross-sectional study, 82 patients LADA, 78 T1DM 485 T2DM were studied. Clinical metabolic data, particular those that related syndrome, fasting C-peptide islet-cell autoantibodies [glutamic acid decarboxylase (GADAb) IA2 (IA2Ab)] measured.The frequency...
The occurrence of new-onset migraine attacks is a complication transcatheter atrial septal defect (ASD) closure. It has been suggested that clopidogrel may reduce after ASD closure.To assess the efficacy clopidogrel, used in addition to taking aspirin, for prevention following closure.Randomized, double-blind clinical trial performed 6 university hospitals Canada. Participants were 171 patients with an indication closure and no history migraine.Patients randomized (1:1) receive dual...
Objectives To investigate the association between sick leave prescription and physician burnout empathy in a primary care health district Lleida, Spain. Methods This descriptive study included 108 doctors from 22 centers Lleida 2014 (183,600 patients). Burnout was measured with Maslach Inventory Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy. The reliability instruments by calculating Cronbach's alpha normal distribution analyzed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov-Lilliefors χ2 tests. scores were age, sex,...
Type 2 diabetes comorbidity is common in patients with COPD. One of the most frequent causes hospital admission COPD are exacerbations.Prospective cohort study, which included 512 recruited a primary care centre Mollerussa (Lleida, Spain). Inclusion criteria were: >40 years age according to Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease. Variables collected were as follows: age, gender, civil status, education level, smoking habit, severity (Global Disease), comorbidities (Charlson),...
Abstract Background Because of their high prevalence, chronic respiratory diseases, like asthma and obstructive pulmonary disease, represent main public health problems. They are mainly treated through inhaled therapy. There is low adherence to such therapy, resulting in poor control diseases. However, more research needed on the association several factors with adherence. The purpose this study was estimate age, sex, type drug, frequency administration In order do this, we performed a...
