In most seasons, the influenza vaccine is effective in preventing influenza, but it not clear whether equally mild and severe cases. We designed a case-control study to compare effectiveness of outpatient, inpatient, or fatal cases laboratory-confirmed influenza.Hospitalized patients (n = 691) with 2010-2011 season recruited 29 Spanish hospitals were individually matched by age, admission/visit date, province an outpatient control. Severe considered those admitted intensive care units who...
Background We aimed to assess the changes in health-related quality of life (HRQL) patients with confirmed diagnosis influenza (H1N1)2009, and estimate individual societal loss quality-adjusted years (QALYs) caused by pandemic. Methods Results Longitudinal study recruited at major hospitals primary care centers Spain. Patients reported their HRQL (EQ-5D) during episode seven days prior it. A subsample was monitored evaluate after recovery. estimated as difference between EQ-5D Individual...
The aim of this study was to estimate healthcare resource utilization, work absenteeism and cost per patient with pandemic influenza (H1N1)2009, from its beginning March 2010, in Spain. We also estimated the economic impact on services.
Model validation is a challenging Machine Learning task, usually more difficult for consumer credit default models because of the availability small datasets, modeling low-frequency events (imbalanced data), and bias in explanatory variables induced by train/test sets split techniques (covariate shift). While many methodologies have been developed, cross-validation perhaps most widely accepted, often being part model development process optimizing hyperparameters predictive algorithms. This...
The role of different risk exposures and preventive measures against influenza has not been well established.The aim this study was to evaluate factors prevent infection in the community.We conducted a multicenter case-control study. Cases were 481 outpatients aged 18 years or older with laboratory-confirmed A(H1N1)09 2009-2010 season Spain. A control selected for each case from same area matched by age date consultation. Information on situations, other variables obtained interview review...
Potentially useful pharmaceutical measures to limit the impact of pandemic influenza in community include antiviral drugs (neuraminidase inhibitors) and pneumococcal vaccines, as predisposes bacterial pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. Non-pharmaceutical hand washing respiratory hygiene. Due lack knowledge effectiveness these a situation, September 2009, CIBER de Epidemiología y Salud Pública presented multicenter case-control study, with controls matched for age, hospital date...
The emergence and pandemic spread of a new strain influenza A (H1N1) virus in 2009 resulted serious alarm clinical public health services all over the world. One distinguishing feature this was different profile hospitalized patients compared to those from traditional seasonal infections. Our goal analyze sociodemographic factors associated hospitalization following infection by A(H1N1) virus. We report results Spanish nationwide study with laboratory confirmed case-control design based on...
The H1N1 influenza pandemic strain has been associated with a poor prognosis in hospitalized patients. present report evaluates the factors influencing prognosis. A total of 813 patients 36 hospitals (nationwide) Spain were analysed. Detailed histories variables preceding hospital admission obtained by interview, validating data on medications and vaccine their attending physicians. Data treatment complications during stay recorded. As definition outcome, endpoints death to intensive care...
Background : Smoking may facilitate influenza virus infections and their severity. The objective was to investigate the risk of hospitalization due in Spanish smokers ex-smokers. Methods We carried out a multicentre, case-control study 2011. Cases [patients ≥ 18 years hospitalized > 24 h with real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)-confirmed influenza] were selected from 29 hospitals. For each case, we an outpatient aged RT-PCR-confirmed matched by age (±5 years), date case (±10 days)...
To describe the distribution of role limitation in European population aged 18-64 years and to examine contribution health conditions using a public-health approach.Representative samples adult general (n=13,666) from 10 countries World Mental Health (WMH) Surveys Initiative, grouped into three regions: Central-Western, Southern Central-Eastern. The Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI 3.0) was used assess six mental disorders standard checklists for seven physical conditions....
The present report compares prognosis in hospitalized cases with the H1N1 pandemic virus two seasons. Two series of patients laboratory-confirmed influenza have been compared: 813 season 2009-2010 and 707 2010-2011. A detailed history variables preceding hospital admission during hospitalization was obtained by interview clinical charts. combined endpoint death to intensive care used as outcome due low number deaths. Logistic regression applied analysis for adverse outcome. Patients second...
The present study aimed to compare the main features of infection with pandemic influenza A virus in pregnant and nonpregnant women admitted hospitals Spain during first waves 2009–2010 pandemic. This was a prospective (November 2009 June 2010), multicenter observational study. All cases were reproductive age who had not been vaccinated against seasonal or A. Influenza confirmed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). sociodemographic clinical data all reviewed. total...
Influenza epidemics cause not only both morbidity and mortality but also have a great socio-economic impact. Occasionally, influenza infections become pandemics, such as the case of last (H1N1) 2009 virus outbreak. Taking into account current available evidence, being flu syndrome main epidemiologic impact maximum relevance for health services managers, evaluation social resources use its associated costs should be priority. With objective addressing that need, this study was set in motion....
