Contextual Drivers of HIV Vulnerability and Retention in Care in the Central African Republic: An Ecological Analysis
What Can We Learn for Future Integrated Care Models in Long Term Care Facilities After the Covid-19 Emergency? Lessons From an Observational Study in Catalonia
Increasing proactivity and adapting interventions based on updated information were key to minimize infections and mortality. Improving the communication and the collaboration between actors, and people involvement in the response planning, need to be considered for the future
Environmental predictors of Sars-CoV-2 infection incidence in Catalonia (northwestern Mediterranean)
Numerous studies have explored whether and how the spread of the SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), responds to environmental conditions without reaching consistent answers. Sociodemographic factors, such as variable population density and mobility, as well as the lack of effective epidemiological monitoring, make it difficult to establish robust correlations. Here we carry out a regional cross-correlation stu…
Disseminated tuberculosis and diagnosis delay during the Covid-19 era in a Western European country: A case series analysis
Background Disseminated tuberculosis is frequently associated with delayed diagnosis and a poorer prognosis. Objectives To describe case series of disseminated TB and diagnosis delay in a low TB burden country during the COVID-19 period. Methodology We consecutively included all patients with of disseminated TB reported from 2019 to 2021 in the reference hospital of the Northern Crown of the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona. We collected socio-demo…
Retention in care among people living with HIV in the national antiretroviral therapy programme in Guinea: A retrospective cohort analysis
Few studies have investigated retention in HIV care in West Africa. We measured retention in antiretroviral therapy (ART) programmes among people living with HIV and re-engagement in care among those lost to follow up (LTFU) in Guinea and identified associated risk factors using survival analysis. Patient-level data were analysed from 73 ART sites. Treatment interruptions and LTFU were defined as missing a ART refill appointment by over 30 days a…
Schistosomiasis Among Female Migrants in Non-endemic Countries: Neglected Among the Neglected? A Pilot Study
Background Schistosomiasis among migrant populations in Europe is an underdiagnosed infection, yet delayed treatment may have serious long-term consequences. In this study we aimed to characterize the clinical manifestations of Schistosoma infection among migrant women, and the degree of underdiagnosis. Methods We carried out a prospective cross-sectional study among a migrant population living in the North Metropolitan Barcelona area and coming …
Los expertos y su laberinto. Una reflexión sobre ética en tiempos de pandemia
Los expertos o líderes de opinión en el ámbito biomédico han cobrado una enorme relevancia en tiempos de la epidemia de Covid-19. Su influencia en las circunstancias particulares de la pandemia, plantea de forma acuciante los posibles conflictos de interés que puedan tener. Un conflicto de interés se define por aquella situación en que la integridad y el juicio de una persona puede verse influenciado por un interés secundario, y que puede apartar…
