Accidentes de trabajo en un hospital universitario. 2000-2004 Prevención y control
2013
INTRODUCCIÓN Dadas las peculiares condiciones del trabajo sanitario, derivadas de las caracte-rísticas epidemiológicas y socioculturales de la población atendida, de la propia ubica-ción geográfica del hospital que origina diferencias climáticas, e incluso de la idiosincrasia de la organización y de las relaciones interpersonales, cada hospital tendrá unas distintas tasas de siniestralidad laboral, una propia causalidad y una diferente manera de afrontar las posibles acciones preventivas, por lo que deberán promoverse diferentes es-trategias correctoras para eliminar o reducir los riesgos laborales que condicionan los accidentes de trabajo. MATERIAL Y MÉTODO Se ha realizado un estudio obser…

Smoking ban in public places and myocardial infarction hospitalizations in a European country with high cardiovascular risk: insights from the Polish…
2019
INTRODUCTION Previous studies demonstrated a possible positive effect of a smoking ban in public places on cardiovascular outcomes. However, little is known about the influence of such regulations in Poland, a country with a high cardiovascular risk. OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate the association of hospitalization rates for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Poland before and after the introduction of the smoking ban in public places in November 2010. PATIENTS AND METHODS The Nationwide Acute Myocardial Infarction Database (AMI‑PL) was searched for the cases of AMI that occurred between 2009 and 2014. The analysis considered sex, age (20–64 years vs 65 years or older), and the place of …
Pressure support ventilation + sigh in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure patients: Study protocol for a pilot randomized controlled trial, the PROT…
2018
Background Adding cyclic short sustained inflations (sigh) to assisted ventilation yields optimizes lung recruitment, decreases heterogeneity and reduces inspiratory effort in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). These findings suggest that adding sigh to pressure support ventilation (PSV) might decrease the risk of lung injury, shorten weaning and improve clinical outcomes. Thus, we conceived a pilot trial to test the feasibility of adding sigh to PSV (the PROTECTION study). Methods PROTECTION is an international randomized controlled trial that will be conducted in 23 intensive care units (ICUs). Patients with AHRF who have been intubated from 24 h to 7 days and under…

Adapting and validating scale of customer engagement in online travel communities
2020
Increasing attention towards customer engagement has caused its measurement to remain a highly debated issue among scholars. This study adapts and validates measurement scales for customer engagement in Online Travel Communities. It builds on previous studies on scale development for customer engagement. Data were collected from 450 members of Online Travel Communities in eight countries: Australia, Canada, Hong Kong (Chinese territory), New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The process of adapting and validating the scale involved exploratory factor analysis, testing for differential item functioning, examination of item response theory,…
Explaining local governments' cost efficiency: Controllable and uncontrollable factors
2020
Abstract Efficient and effective management of public resources is essential at all levels of government. This issue has gained momentum due to the strains that affected public sector finances after the onset of the 2007/08 crisis in many countries, particularly in Europe. In this article, we evaluate the influence of environmental variables that affect local government efficiency in one European country, Spain, during the crisis years (2009–2015). To this end, and considering the possible influence of both controllable and uncontrollable factors, we use an approach that is able to analyse their impact across the conditional distribution of performance, and which controls for the (likely) e…
