Adaptation and Refinement of Validated Risk Screening Tools in the Spanish Healthcare System
2013
Abstract The aim of this study is to develop a tool to screen elders at risk of hospital readmissions adapted to Spanish target population. The development of this new tool is based on the validated instrument The Community Assessment Risk Screen – CARS –, which is being applied in a sample of 1.000 older patients. The adaptation and refinement of CARS is being carried out through the compilation of new potential variables from primary care clinicians to predict patients at risk of readmissions. The introduction of this new instrument adapted to Spanish target population will provide a potential tool to identify prematurel y patients at risk of hospital readmissions.
Trastorno mental y tipo de sustancia consumida: estudio piloto sobre la utilización de la Entrevista de Cribado de Patología Dual (ECDD)
2017
Introduction: Dual pathology defines an illness case when a substance abuse disorder and a mental disorder simultaneously affect an individual patient. Both disorders influence each other, mutually, that its recommended what recommends to treat them together. Objective: to analyse the psychopatologic character and its association with different types of substances, evaluated through the Dual Pathology Screening interview (ECDD). Method: the participants were 63 patients between 18 and 45 years, with an average age of 37.7 years (SD = 9.6), assisted in the Unit of Addictive Behaviours of a Valencia town. The sociodemographic variables, clinical and toxycologic, were evaluated through the que…
Improving the management of potentially predictable hospital readmissions of the elderly and their quality of life through new icts
2013
3rd International Conference on the Elderly and New Technologies. III Jornadas Internacionales de Mayores y Nuevas Tecnologías. The ageing population is currently beginning to create economic repercussions, as ageing often implies an increase of health expenditure related to, specially, hospital admissions and/or unplanned readmissions and long term care services. The present paper deals with two strategies that could be implemented through the establishment and use of new technologies to avoid these increasing costs: 1) screening tools of health information systems aimed at identifying patients at risk of hospital readmissions or repeated use of health resources; and 2) new icts at elderly…
Redzes asuma attālinātās pārbaudes iespēju novērtēšana
2021
Bakalaura darbs ir uzrakstīts angļu valodā uz 25 lapaspusēm. Tas satur 19 attēlus, 1 tabulu un 34 atsauces uz literatūras avotiem. Attālinātās pārbaudes rīkiem šodien nav nekādu vadlīniju vai regulējumu. Tāpēc ir nepieciešams nepārtraukti novērtēt šos rīkus. Šī pētījuma mērķis bija novērtēt redzes asuma skrīninga rīku pielietošanu attālināti. Pētījumā piedalījās 45 dalībnieki (vidējais vecums 31±5,3 gadi). Izmantojot FrACT10, redzes asums tika mērīts un analizēts divos dažādos attālinātās pārbaudes apstākļos: (1) ar optometrista palīdzību, (2) ar instrukcijas palīdzību. Rezultāti parādīja būtisku vidējā redzes asuma atšķirību starp abām grupām (p < 0,05). Tika veikta arī kvalitatīva aptauja…
Depression prevalence using the HADS-D compared to SCID major depression classification: An individual participant data meta-analysis.
2020
Objectives Validated diagnostic interviews are required to classify depression status and estimate prevalence of disorder, but screening tools are often used instead. We used individual participant data meta-analysis to compare prevalence based on standard Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale – depression subscale (HADS-D) cutoffs of ≥8 and ≥11 versus Structured Clinical Interview for DSM (SCID) major depression and determined if an alternative HADS-D cutoff could more accurately estimate prevalence. Methods We searched Medline, Medline In-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citations via Ovid, PsycINFO, and Web of Science (inception-July 11, 2016) for studies comparing HADS-D scores to SCID major…
