Assessing TDApp
TDApp is an advanced prototype of an CDSS offering automated, participatory, personalized, and explanatory treatment recommendations for ADHD. It represents a promising alternative to CPGs for aiding clinicians and patients in shared treatment decision-making
A qualitative exploration of patient safety in a hospital setting in Spain
INTRODUCTION: Patients' and companions' participation in healthcare could help prevent adverse events, which are a significant cause of disease and disability. Before designing interventions to increase participation, it is first necessary to identify attitudes to patient safety. This study aimed to explore patients' and companions' perceptions, attitudes and experiences of patient safety, taking into account contextual factors, such as cultural …
Reference values of EORTC QLQ-C30, EORTC QLQ-BR23, and EQ-5D-5L for women with non-metastatic breast cancer at diagnosis and 2 years after
These HRQoL reference norms can be useful to interpret the scores of women with non-metastatic breast cancer, comparing them with country-specific reference values for this population
Non-Pharmacological Preventive Measures Had an Impact on Covid-19 in Healthcare Workers before the Vaccination Effect
Healthcare workers have been and still are at the forefront of COVID-19 patient care. Their infection had direct implications and caused important challenges for healthcare performance. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of non-pharmacological preventive measures against COVID-19 among healthcare workers. This study is based on a dynamic cohort of healthcare workers ( n = 5543) who had been hired by a Spanish hospital for at least one …
Long-Term Risk of Breast Cancer after Diagnosis of Benign Breast Disease by Screening Mammography
Assessing the long-term risk of breast cancer after diagnosis of benign breast disease by mammography is of utmost importance to design personalised screening strategies. We analysed individual-level data from 778,306 women aged 50-69 years with at least one mammographic screening participation in any of ten breast cancer screening centers in Spain from 1996 to 2015, and followed-up until 2017. We used Poisson regression to compare the rates of i…
Elección informada en el cribado del cáncer de mama
Evaluar el efecto de recibir información sobre los beneficios y los efectos adversos del cribado del cáncer de mama en la elección informada, en función del nivel educativo. Análisis secundario de un estudio experimental aleatorizado y controlado, en cuatro programas de cribado en Cataluña y Canarias. Se analizaron 400 mujeres que iban a ser invitadas a participar por primera vez. El grupo de intervención recibió una herramienta informativa que m…
Effect of an information leaflet on breast cancer screening participation
Overall participation in our program was unaffected by a new information leaflet on the risk-benefit balance of breast cancer screening. However, participation was lower in certain populations with lower socioeconomic status TRIAL REGISTRATION: Trial registration number ISRCTN13848929
Quality of Life in a Cohort of 1078 Women Diagnosed with Breast Cancer in Spain
Breast cancer is the most frequent cause of tumors and net survival is increasing. Achieving a higher survival probability reinforces the importance of studying health-related quality of life (HR-QoL). The main aim of this work is to test the relationship between different sociodemographic, clinical and tumor-intrinsic characteristics, and treatment received with HR-QoL measured using SF-12 and the FACT/NCCN (National Comprehensive Cancer Network…
P1-307 Higher cancer detection risk in women with a false positive result in breast cancer screening in Spain
Introduction Breast screening reduces mortality from breast cancer through early detection. Despite its benefits, breast cancer screening presents some adverse effects, as false positive (FP) results. Our aim was to estimate the risk of cancer detection associated to have experienced a previous FP mammography. Methods The Cumulative False Positive Risk study includes eight population-based screening programs in Spain, between 1990 and 2006, that …
P1-309 Differences in radiological patterns, tumour characteristics and diagnostic precision between digital mammography and screen-film mammography in four breast cancer screening programs in Spain
Introduction Since 2000 Digital Mammography (DM) has been commercially available and implemented in many breast cancer screening programs. Although available information suggests that differences, if exist, are low, complete evaluation of DM is needed to perform a more accurate balance of risks and benefits of these programs. Our purpose was to compare tumour characteristics between cancers detected with Screen-Film Mammography (SFM) and DM, and …
P1-308 Effect of false-positives and women's characteristics on the long-term attitude towards breast cancer screening
Introduction Adherence to breast cancer screening is affected by presence of previous false-positives and regular participation in previous invitations. Our aim was to estimate the long-term adherence to breast cancer screening and how false-positive and women9s characteristics affect the probability of re-attending screening. Methods Retrospective Cohort study of women aged 45–69 years invited to participate in any of 10 Spanish breast cancer sc…
P1-132 Description of a nationwide and multidisciplinary project for the evaluation of interval breast cancer rates, determinants and characteristics, in Spain. Inca study
Introduction Interval cancer (IC) rate, risk factors and biological characteristics have been scarcely evaluated. In January 2010 started a multicentric project with the aim to estimate rates and determinants of IC and to compare their characteristics with those detected in the routine screening mammography. Methods Information from women aged 45/50 to 69, participating in seven population-based screening programs in Spain from January 2000 to De…
Determining the lifetime density function using a continuous approach
OBJECTIVE: To apply a continuous hazard function approach to calculate the lifetime density function (LDF) at any age, and to compare the life expectancies derived from the LDF with those obtained with standard life table (SLT) methods. METHODS: Age-specific mortality rates were modeled through a continuous hazard function. To construct the cumulative hazard function, appropriate integration limits were considered as continuous random variables. …
Cumulative false positive recall rate and association with participant related factors in a population based breast cancer screening programme
Study objective: To investigate the cumulative false positive recall rate throughout the period of participation in a population based breast cancer screening programme and to examine its association with women related factors. Design: Analysis of a database to estimate the cumulative false positive recall rate after 10 biennial mammograms in a cohort of women. Cumulative risk after 10 rounds was calculated by projecting forward the information a…
