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),...
<title>Abstract</title> Background The proportion of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease who have never smoked (COPD-NS) is very high. However, the clinical-epidemiological characteristics these and their association severe exacerbation been poorly studied. Objective To determine COPD-NS if incidence higher compared to COPD smokers/ex-smokers, comparing both cohorts risk factors. Patients Methods: A cohort study that analyzed associated factors in 490 monitoring 2 years....
The objective of this work was to determine predictive factors hospital admission for exacerbation during primary care visits in patients with COPD.A retrospective cohort study undertaken assess risk COPD from November 1, 2010 October 31, 2013. Data sources were electronic medical records and the discharge minimum data set. A total 2,501 subjects >40 y age a spirometry-based diagnosis included followed up 3 y. dependent variable exacerbation; independent variables were: clinical parameters,...
Although acute exacerbations are key events in the progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), their frequency and factors associated with exacerbation not fully known.To determine incidence risk very frequent COPD (⩾3 per year).In a cohort study to analyse 512 primary care patients during 2-year follow-up, variables interest were collected for each patient. Acute was defined as an event that required antibiotics and/or systemic steroids (moderate) or hospital admission...
Anxiety and depression are underdiagnosed in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. Few studies have tried to identify their association with hospitalization (severe exacerbation). The objective of this study was determine whether the anxiety/depression associated severe exacerbation.A prospective cohort study, based on a sample 512 patients diagnosed COPD originating from primary care rural area Lleida (Spain) monitored between November 1, 2012 October 31, 2014. For each...
The risk of exacerbation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) depends on the severity and other less well known factors. Predictive models are more accurate than forced expiratory volume one second (FEV1). objective was to design a model that predicts COPD.Retrospective cohort study with data from electronic medical records patients diagnosed COPD province Lleida (Spain). A total 2501 were followed during 3 years. dependent variable acute exacerbation; independent variables were:...
To identify risk factors of mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).A retrospective cohort study.Primary care setting Lleida, Spain.2.501 older than 40 years at least a spirometry the 24 months prior to beginning study were followed for 3 years.The dependent variable was overall period 11/01/2010-10/31/2013; and independents: spirometric parameters, severity (GOLD) clinical variables. Their association analyzed by calculating adjusted odds ratio using...
The objective of the study was to know profile patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and who have never been smokers.A transversal study.Primary Care Centre Pla d'Urgell (Primary care setting in Lleida, Spain).512 older than 40 years COPD from Primary a compatible spirometry [forced expiratory volume one second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio <0.7) beginning study.The dependent variable de non-smokers independents were variables collected information...
Abstract Background The risk of developing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), the associated comorbidities and response to bronchodilators might differ in men women. objective this study was determine prevalence COPD clinic-epidemiological characteristics primary care patients with according gender. Methods This is a cross-sectional using electronic healthcare records Catalonia (Spain), during 01/01/2012–31/12/2017 period. Patients from SIDIAP database (System for Development...
To identify the influenza vaccination coverage in healthcare workers primary care and to determine factors associated with (2013-2014 season).A cross-sectional study was carried out among 287 who completed a questionnaire that included questions about knowledge, beliefs attitudes vaccination. We estimated vaccine identified variables of by using non-conditional logistic regression models.The participation rate 47.2%. Vaccination 60.3% higher older than 55 years, women pediatricians. The...
