Absence of short-term changes in knowledge and attitudes among household contacts of Covid-19 cases during the post-acute phase of the pandemic in Catalonia and Navarre, Spain
Objectives To evaluate short-term changes in knowledge and attitude towards COVID-19 and preventive measures during the post-acute phase of the pandemic in Spain. Methods A survey was performed in Catalonia and Navarre between May-2022 and July-2023 in household contacts of COVID-19 cases. Knowledge and attitude were assessed at baseline and at three months, using a Likert scale. Responses were grouped according to correct or incorrect. Results A…
Validación del cuestionario sobre vacunas y reticencia a vacunarse en la Sociedad Española de Epidemiología
Confeccionar y validar una encuesta dirigida a profesionales de epidemiología para medir factores asociados a la reticencia vacunal. La reticencia a la vacunación se refiere al retraso en la aceptación o el rechazo de la vacunación a pesar de la disponibilidad de ella. La OMS la incluyó entre las diez amenazas a la salud global en 2019. En este marco conceptual propuesto por la OMS, un comité de seis expertos de la Sociedad Española de Epidemiolo…
Patient satisfaction with HIV care service in Spain
Understanding patient satisfaction with healthcare services can help identify patients' unmet needs and increase treatment adherence. This study aimed to evaluate the satisfaction of people living with HIV with overall HIV care service in Navarra, Spain, using a cross-sectional survey. The survey included a patient-reported experience measure (PREMs) consisting of five statements, and participants were also asked to rate the overall care they rec…
Hacia el control de la Covid-19 a través de la vacunación
En España se inició el programa de vacunación en un contexto de alta transmisión y baja disponibilidad de vacunas. El objetivo de este artículo es revisar el programa de vacunación frente a la COVID-19 (3-3-2022) y valorar los obstáculos, los desafíos y las oportunidades que plantea el control de esta enfermedad. Se dispone actualmente de cinco vacunas: dos basadas en la tecnología ARNm (Comirnaty® y Spikevax®), dos basadas en un vector no replic…
Altitude and Sars-CoV-2 Infection in the First Pandemic Wave in Spain
After the first pandemic wave, a nationwide survey assessed the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in Spain and found notable differences among provinces whose causes remained unclear. This ecological study aimed to analyze the association between environmental and demographic factors and SARS-CoV-2 infection by province. The seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies by province was obtained from a nationwide representative survey performed in…

Dietary Constituents
The aim of this study was to characterize the relationship between the intake of the major nutrients and prognosis in breast cancer. A cohort based on 1350 women with invasive (stage I-IV) breast cancer (BC) was followed up. Information about their dietary habits before diagnosis was collected using a semi-quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire. Participants without FFQ or with implausible energy intake were excluded. The total amount consumed…
Health-related quality of life in hepatitis C patients who achieve sustained virological response to direct-acting antivirals
Managing an Online Survey about Influenza Vaccination in Primary Healthcare Workers
Online surveys are increasingly used due to their speed and efficiency. The aim of this study was to analyze factors that may have contributed to the quality and speed of response of an online survey on influenza vaccination in primary healthcare workers. A multicenter study including family physicians, nurses and pediatricians from primary healthcare teams from seven Spanish Autonomous Communities was designed. The centers were selected by simpl…
Effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical measures in preventing pediatric influenza
Frequent hand washing should be recommended to prevent influenza infection in the community setting and in special in the school age group
Comparison of body mass index (BMI) with the CUN-BAE body adiposity estimator in the prediction of hypertension and type 2 diabetes
The overall correlation between BMI and CUN-BAE was not good. The AFp of obesity for AHT and DM may be underestimated if assessed using the BMI, as may the prevalence of obesity when estimated from the percentage of BF
Social factors related to the clinical severity of influenza cases in Spain during the A (H1N1) 2009 virus pandemic
In addition to individual factors such as comorbidity, other factors such as educational level, ethnicity or overcrowding were associated with hospitalization due to A (H1N1) 2009 influenza virus infections
Effectiveness of the trivalent influenza vaccine in Navarre, Spain, 2010–2011
The 2010-2011 seasonal influenza vaccine had a moderate protective effect in preventing laboratory-confirmed influenza
Pandemic Influenza A (H1N1) in Non-vaccinated, Pregnant Women in Spain (2009–2010)
Using surveillance data to estimate pandemic vaccine effectiveness against laboratory confirmed influenza A(H1N1)2009 infection
Point estimates of the pandemic influenza vaccine effectiveness suggested a protective effect of the pandemic vaccine against laboratory-confirmed influenza A(H1N1)2009 in the season 2009-2010. Both studies were limited by the low vaccine coverage and the late start of the vaccination campaign. Routine influenza surveillance provides reliable estimates and could be used for influenza vaccine effectiveness studies in future seasons taken into acco…
Mortality by causes in HIV-infected adults
Persons with HIV infection continue to have considerable excess mortality despite the availability of effective antiretroviral treatments. However, excess mortality in the HIV patients has declined since these treatments were introduced, especially in persons without a history of intravenous drug use
Human immunodeficiency virus testing uptake and risk behaviours in Spain
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of human immunodeficiency (HIV) testing in the general population; to analyse factors related to voluntary testing; and to describe the main reasons for testing, the kinds of health services where testing takes place and the relations between self-risk perception and HIV testing. METHODS: A probability sample survey of health and sexual behaviour in men and women aged 18-49 year…
Sociodemographic characteristics and HIV risk behaviour patterns of male sex workers in Madrid, Spain
This paper describes the sociodemographic and work characteristics, prevalence of HIV infection and associated risk behaviours among male sex workers (MSWs) in Madrid (Spain). Using an anonymous semi-structured questionnaire, educators attached to a mobile unit under a street-based prostitution programme surveyed 84 MSWs from several Madrid areas. Of the total surveyed: 35% were immigrants, mean age was 23 years, mean period in prostitution was f…
The completeness of Aids surveillance in Europe
The aim of epidemiological monitoring is to describe, as realistically as possible, the magnitude, evolution and distribution of a disease or health problem affecting a given population. In most instances this goal is not fully attainable, because of shortcomings of greater or lesser importance affecting the completeness and validity of systems that may themselves vary, not only as between populations but also over time. In practice, a surveillan…
Sexual behaviour and condom use in the general population of Spain, 1996
A national household survey of a representative sample of 9,984 individuals aged 15 years or over, carried out in 1996 using a combination of face-to-face interviews and self-completion questionnaires, was analyzed in order to describe the frequency of HIV sexual risk behaviours and condom use in Spain. Of a total of 8,101 persons (81%) who completed the questionnaire, 37% reported no sexual partner during the previous 12 months, 57% reported one…
The Aids epidemic among Spanish drug users
OBJECTIVES: In Spain the number of new acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) cases among injection drug users continues to rise. The time trend up to 1994 has been analyzed, with special attention paid to the different generations. METHODS: The source for injection drug use-related cases was the Spanish AIDS Register. Independent analyses of annual specific rates were run for each sex with the use of an age-period-cohort log-linear model. RES…
