Medico-legal implications of sleep apnoea syndrome: driving license regulations in Europe.

2008

Background: Sleep apnoea syndrome (SAS), one of the main medical causes of excessive daytime sleepiness, has been shown to be a risk factor for traffic accidents. Treating SAS results in a normalized rate of traffic accidents. As part of the COST Action B-26, we looked at driving license regulations, and especially at its medical aspects in the European region. Methods: We obtained data from Transport Authorities in 25 countries (Austria, AT; Belgium, BE; Czech Republic, CZ; Denmark, DK; Estonia, EE; Finland, FI; France, FR; Germany, DE; Greece, GR; Hungary, HU; Ireland, IE; Italy, IT; Lithuania, LT; Luxembourg, LU; Malta, MT; Netherlands, NL; Norway, EC; Poland, PL; Portugal, PT; Slovakia,…

Effect of COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns on planned cancer surgery for 15 tumour types in 61 countries: an international, prospective, cohort study

2021

This international, prospective, cohort study enrolled 20 006 adult (≥18 years) patients from 466 hospitals in 61 countries with 15 cancer types, who had a decision for curative surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic and were followed up until the point of surgery or cessation of follow-up (Aug 31, 2020). Average national Oxford COVID-19 Stringency Index scores were calculated to define the government response to COVID-19 for each patient for the period they awaited surgery, and classified into light restrictions (index 60). The primary outcome was the non-operation rate (defined as the proportion of patients who did not undergo planned surgery). Cox proportional-hazards regression models wer…

Autonomy and patient prisoners

2007

Los autores estudian una reciente sentencia de la Sala 3ª del Tribunal Supremo en la que se declara la responsabilidad patrimonial de la Administración por la muerte de un paciente preso. Se analizan los argumentos de la Sala desde una perspectiva jurídica, ética, médica y social. Concluyen que: 1: la Administración no está legitimada para imponer tratamientos médicos a los reclusos, salvo que medie riesgo grave y cierto para su vida, incapacidad para decidir o riesgo para la salud de terceros; 2: que la sentencia supone un ataque frontal a la autonomía de los pacientes presos en la toma de decisiones sanitarias que les afecten; 3: que desde un punto de vista médico es discriminatoria, ya q…
