2020
The acquisition of physical activity habits during adolescence is fundamental to guarantee its adherence throughout life. However, these levels decrease during this stage, with women experimenting a more significant decrease. This paper aims to analyze if there are significant differences in the variables related to the intention to be physically active between men and women and if there is a moderating effect of gender on the variables that predict this intention. The sample is composed of 256 adolescents, aged between 16 and 19 years, 55.50% of whom are men, and 44.50% women. The results show that there are statistically significant differences (p <
Modelo predictivo preliminar para la identificación de pacientes con oportunidades de mejora farmacoterapéutica
2010
Objective: To develop a prediction model for identifying patients with the possibility of improving pharmacotherapy during the process of pharmaceutical validation of the prescription. Method: Cross-sectional study over two months, performed in the Internal Medicine and Infectious Disease divisions. Detecting opportunities for improving quality of pharmaco¬therapy is done by means of a pharmacist's validation of the prescription. Based on the information we obtained through this process, we performed a multivariate logistic regression analysis using as prognostic factors the demographic, pharmacotherapy and clinical variables related to identifying any drug-related problems (DRPs) in the pa…
Relationship between perception of malocclusion and the psychological impact of dental aesthetics in university students.
2014
Introduction and Objectives: The objectives were to assess the relationship between perceived smile aesthetics and perceived psychological impact as measured by the Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ), and their own perception of it using the Aesthetic Component of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN-AC) and a Visual Analog Scale (VAS); relate the IOTN-AC and VAS to the PIDAQ; and study the predictive capacity of the scales for psychological impact. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 447 college students in Spain and Portugal (average age 20.4 years, 33.1% men and 66.9% women). The online self-completed surveys used the recent…

Clinical retrospective study of dental implant removal : do patients who require implant removal desire implant prosthesis again?
2020
Background This study investigated the causes of dental implant removal due to complications, and examined whether patients who had dental implant removal desired re-implant prosthesis treatments. Material and Methods A retrospective case–control study was conducted on patients who had their dental implants removed. We investigated whether the removed dental implant was replaced with other implant prostheses. Age, sex, diabetes, smoking, implant site distribution, reason for implant removal, and blade and root-form implants were categorized as predictive variables. The outcome variable was desire for re-implantation or use of other prosthetic methods after implant removal. A logistic regres…
