Atenció a l'ictus agut: comparació del sistema català amb el sistema finlandès

L’ictus és un problema de salut pública on les malalties cerebrovasculars representen la tercera causa de mort del nostre país, la primera causa de discapacitat física en adults i la segona de demència. Segons la OMS es preveu que la malaltia cerebrovascular s’ incrementi un 27% en relació a l’envelliment de la població entre els anys 2000 i 2025Objectius: Conèixer i comparar l’atenció i la organització de les persones afectades per ictus a Catalunya i a Finlàndia, específicament a l’Hospital Universitari Doctor Josep Trueta (Girona) i a l’Hospital Universitari de Kuopio (Finlàndia) Metodologia: Estudi observacional quantitatiu i qualitatiu que compara les diferents atencions a la fase pre-hospitalària, hospitalària i sub-aguda a Girona (Catalunya) i a Kuopio (Finlàndia). S’han estudiat variables relacionades amb l’atenció pre-hospitalària, hospitalària i post-hospitalària específicament, s’han estudiat variables relacionades amb cures d’infermeria. S’han realitzat tècniques qualitatives utilitzant la observació directa en els dos centres estudiats, i tècniques quantitatives mitjançant un qüestionari als responsables d’infermeria

Epidemiology of measles virus outbreaks in Catalonia: importance of immunization in the elimination era

Eradicating measles represents a major public health achievement, yet outbreaks still occur in territories where endemic measles virus (MV) had been eliminated. In Catalonia from the year 2000 cases have occurred as isolated cases or small outbreaks, both linked to imported cases up to the end of 2006 when a large outbreak started out affecting mainly children ≤15m. In consequence, immunization schedule was amended lowering first dose to 12m. Again new MV importations from neighboring countries triggered another outbreak on November 2010 with a different age distribution sparing small children from infection. Differences in incidence (IR), rate ratio (RR) and 95% CI and hospitalization rate (HR) by age group were determined. Statistic z was used for comparing proportions. Total number of confirmed cases was 305 vs 381 in 2006; mean age 20 yrs (SD 14.8yrs; 3m -51yrs) vs 15m (SD13.1yrs; 1m-50yrs). Highest proportion of cases was set in ≥25yrs (47%) vs 24.2% in 2006 (p<0.001). Difference in IR for ≤ 15m was statistically significant (49/100,000 vs 278.2/100,000; RR:3.9; 95%CI 2.9-5.4) and in HR 30.2% vs 15.7% (p<0.001). The change of the month of administration of the first dose proved successful. Given the current epidemiological situation, continued awareness and efforts to reach young adult population are needed to stop the spread of the virus.
