International trade and migrant networks: Is It really about qualifications?
2014
Personal characteristics of migrants could help to strengthen the impact of migrant networks on bilateral trade. While most of the attention has been focused on immigrants' educational attainment, this paper focuses on the relevance of the tasks carried out by migrants. Our empirical results confirm that the existence of a large number of foreign-born workers with managerial duties is critical to explain the reduction of transaction costs caused by migrant networks.
Epidemiology and patterns of tracheostomy practice in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome in ICUs across 50 countries
2018
Background: To better understand the epidemiology and patterns of tracheostomy practice for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), we investigated the current usage of tracheostomy in patients with ARDS recruited into the Large Observational Study to Understand the Global Impact of Severe Acute Respiratory Failure (LUNG-SAFE) study. Methods: This is a secondary analysis of LUNG-SAFE, an international, multicenter, prospective cohort study of patients receiving invasive or noninvasive ventilation in 50 countries spanning 5 continents. The study was carried out over 4 weeks consecutively in the winter of 2014, and 459 ICUs participated. We evaluated the clinical characteris…
Immunocompromised patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome: Secondary analysis of the LUNG SAFE database
2018
Background: The aim of this study was to describe data on epidemiology, ventilatory management, and outcome of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in immunocompromised patients. Methods: We performed a post hoc analysis on the cohort of immunocompromised patients enrolled in the Large Observational Study to Understand the Global Impact of Severe Acute Respiratory Failure (LUNG SAFE) study. The LUNG SAFE study was an international, prospective study including hypoxemic patients in 459 ICUs from 50 countries across 5 continents. Results: Of 2813 patients with ARDS, 584 (20.8%) were immunocompromised, 38.9% of whom had an unspecified cause. Pneumonia, nonpulmonary sepsis, and noncardiog…
Economic evaluation of a guided and unguided internet-based CBT intervention for major depression: Results from a multicenter, three-armed randomized…
2017
Depression is one of the most common mental disorders and will become one of the leading causes of disability in the world. Internet-based CBT programs for depression have been classified as well established following the American Psychological Association criteria for empirically supported treatments. The aim of this study is to analyze the cost effectiveness at 12-month follow-up of the Internet-based CBT program Smiling is fun with (LITG) and without psychotherapist support (TSG) compared to usual care. The perspective used in our analysis is societal. A sample of 296 depressed patients (mean age of 43.04 years; 76% female; BDI-II mean score = 22.37) from primary care services in four Sp…

Aplicabilidad de un Score de TCAR para determinar la gravedad y el pronóstico en el momento del diagnóstico de la fibrosis pulmonar idiopática.
2016
Introducción: La TCAR es una exploración de primer orden en el diagnóstico y seguimiento de la fibrosis pulmonar idiopática (FPI), sin embargo no se utiliza para ponderar la gravedad. Bajo la hipótesis de que cuantificar la extensión de FPI en TCAR sería muy útil para establecer la gravedad al diagnóstico y monitorizar su evolución, nos propusimos evaluar la utilidad de un score semicuantitativo de FPI en TCAR en relación con parámetros funcionales habitualmente empleados para establecer la gravedad y monitorizar la evolución del proceso fibrótico. Pacientes y Método: Estudio prospectivo incluyendo 48 pacientes consecutivos diagnosticados de FPI. Mediante un score semicuantitativo se puntuó…
