Consejo Interterritorial del Sistema Nacional de Salud. Plan estratégico para la eliminación del sarampión y la rubeola en España. Ministerio de Sanidad. Enero 2021 [ES] El sarampión y la rubeola constituyen importantes problemas de salud pública y ambas enfermedades son potencialmente candidatas a erradicarse mediante vacunación. La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) coordina a nivel mundial la eliminación del sarampión y la rubeola y realiza un seguimiento anual de los progresos que se van alcanzando en las diferentes Regiones. La Comisión Regional de Verificación de la eliminación del sarampión y la rubeola declaró que España está en situación de eliminación de la rubeola desde 2015 y del sarampión desde 2016, manteniéndose esta situación en las evaluaciones anuales sucesivas. El 2º Estudio de Seroprevalencia en España, realizado en 2017-2018, muestra un descenso de la población con títulos de anticuerpos frente a sarampión protectores en la población que los ha obtenido mediante vacunación, en un contexto sin circulación del virus salvaje. En relación a la rubeola, se observa una muy elevada inmunidad de la población frente al virus de la rubeola en todos los grupos de edad, demostrando el mantenimiento de la inmunidad conferida por la vacunación. Este Plan Estratégico para la Eliminación del Sarampión y la Rubeola en España 2021-2025, en adelante el Plan, actualiza el Plan Nacional de Eliminación del Sarampión, del año 2000 y el Protocolo de Vigilancia de la Rubeola y el Síndrome de Rubeola Congénita, de 2007, que juntos formaban el Plan de Eliminación del Sarampión y la Rubeola para España. El Plan para 2021-2025 está estructurado en tres estrategias y seis objetivos: Estrategia 1 – Fortalecer la inmunidad de la población: Objetivo 1 – Alcanzar y mantener coberturas de vacunación de al menos el 95% con dos dosis de vacuna triple vírica en España y en cada una de las CCAA y ciudades de Ceuta y Melilla mediante el programa sistemático de vacunación. Objetivo 2 – Identificar, captar y asegurar la vacunación de la población susceptible. Estrategia 2 – Fortalecer el sistema de vigilancia y la actuación en brotes: Objetivo 3 – Detectar, investigar y controlar los casos aislados y los brotes de sarampión y rubeola. Objetivo 4 – Garantizar una investigación de laboratorio de calidad. Objetivo 5 – Implementar de forma rápida las medidas de control de brotes que supongan un evento de salud pública e importancia nacional o internacional. Estrategia 3 – Crear y reforzar estrategias de comunicación, información y asesoría: Objetivo 6 – Informar, capacitar, relacionar e involucrar a todos los agentes de los que depende directa o indirectamente la eliminación del sarampión y la rubeola. Para cada uno de los objetivos se han establecido actividades para su consecución. Se realizará un seguimiento anual del Plan, en el que se recogerá una evaluación de las actividades realizadas mediante la recogida de los indicadores que se han definido para cada una de las estrategias y objetivos. El informe técnico anual se revisa y evalúa por el Comité Nacional de Verificación y se envía online para la evaluación que a su vez realiza la Comisión Regional Europea de Verificación de la Eliminación del Sarampión y la Rubeola. [EN] Measles and rubella are major public health problems, and both diseases are potentially candidates for eradication by vaccination. The World Health Organization (WHO) coordinates the elimination of measles and rubella at a global level and annually monitors the progress made in the different Regions. The Regional Commission for the Verification of the elimination of measles and rubella at European level declared that Spain has been in a situation of elimination of rubella since 2015 and measles since 2016, maintaining this situation in successive annual evaluations. The 2nd Seroprevalence Study in Spain carried out in 2017-2018, shows a decrease in the population with protective measles antibody titers is observed in those that obtained immunity by vaccination, and in a context without circulation of the wild virus. Regarding rubella, a very high immunity of the population against the virus is observed in all age groups, demonstrating the maintenance of the immunity conferred by vaccination. The Strategic Plan for the Elimination of Measles and Rubella in Spain 2021-2025, hereinafter the Plan, updates the National Plan for the Elimination of Measles, of the year 2000 and the Protocol for the Surveillance of Rubella and Congenital Rubella Syndrome, of 2007, which together formed the Measles and Rubella Elimination Plan for Spain. The Plan for 2021-2025 is structured in three strategies and six objectives: Strategy 1 - Strengthen the immunity of the population: Objective 1 - Achieve and maintain vaccination coverage of at least 95% with two doses of MMR vaccine in Spain and in each of the Autonomous Communities and cities of Ceuta and Melilla through the systematic vaccination program. Objective 2 - Identify, capture and ensure vaccination of the susceptible population. Strategy 2 - Strengthen the surveillance system and action in outbreaks: Objective 3 - Detect, investigate and control isolated cases and outbreaks of measles and rubella. Objective 4 - Guarantee quality laboratory research. Objective 5 - Quickly implement outbreak control measures that involve a public health event of national or international importance. Strategy 3 - Create and reinforce communication, information and advice strategies: Objective 6 - Inform, train, relate and involve all the agents on whom the elimination of measles and rubella depends directly or indirectly. Activities have been established for each of the objectives. Annual monitoring of the Plan, including an evaluation of the activities, will be carried out by collecting the defined indicators for each of the strategies and objectives. The National Verification Committee will review and evaluate the annual technical report that will be sent for the assessment conducted by the European Regional Commission for the Verification of the Elimination of Measles and Rubella.

VERTIGO ,DIFFUSE large B-cell lymphomas ,LYMPHOMAS - Abstract
Intraocular involvement in patients with primary central-nervous-system lymphoma (oPCNSL) usually affects the retina, vitreous or optic nerve and can occur in isolation or, more commonly, in association with brain lymphoma.1,2 It has been estimated that 10%-25% of patients with PCNSL have ocular dissemination at diagnosis.3 For these reasons, an ophthalmic examination at diagnosis is highly recommended. In five out of the 26 (19%) patients, ocular symptoms, usually described as a decrease in visual acuity, preceded the CNS symptoms. In the oPCNSL group, diagnosis of PCNSL was done by vitrectomy (three patients) or brain biopsy (23 patients). [Extracted from the article]

RESUMEN Fundamentos: La cultura de seguridad del paciente (CSP) en las instituciones sanitarias depende de diversos factores organizativos y humanos. Nuestro objetivo fue evaluar, como estrategia docente, los conocimientos y percepciones sobre la CSP. Métodos: Muestra de conveniencia, con 122 profesionales sanitarios y no sanitarios, que asistieron en 2015 a cursos sobre seguridad del paciente organizados por la Consejería de Sanidad de Madrid. Antes de cada curso, autocompletaron un cuestionario de conocimientos sobre seguridad del paciente (elaboración propia) y otro cuestionario validado sobre CSP (estimando 3 dimensiones: apoyo directivo, percepción de seguridad y expectativas/acciones). Las valoraciones sobre la CSP se recategorizaron en positivas, negativas y neutras, identificando fortalezas (≥75% de valoraciones positivas) y oportunidades de mejora (≥50% de valoraciones negativas). Al finalizar cada curso, cumplimentaron un cuestionario anónimo de satisfacción. Resultados: El 60% respondió correctamente a las preguntas sobre conocimientos en seguridad del paciente, identificando áreas de mejora en prácticas seguras (higiene de manos y microorganismos resistentes a antibióticos, con 66% y 61% de respuestas incorrectas, respectivamente), y en gestión de riesgos sanitarios (investigación e identificación de eventos adversos, con el 62% y 56% de respuestas incorrectas, respectivamente). El 80% consideró positiva la CSP institucional, y la percepción de seguridad como oportunidad de mejora (63,9% de valoraciones negativas). Así, el 88% reconocía preocuparse por la seguridad del paciente sólo tras incidentes adversos, y el 65% sentía miedo a hablar sobre estos. La satisfacción con la metodología docente fue de 9,3 puntos sobre 10. Conclusiones: La valoración global de la CSP fue mayoritariamente positiva, identificándose áreas de mejora específicas utilizadas como estrategia docente para ilustrar conceptos, motivar a los participantes y sugerir estrategias de intervención para mejorar la cultura de seguridad del paciente en nuestras organizaciones.

- Abstract
Background The magnitude of intimate partner violence (IPV) in young women is a source of increasing concern. The prevalence of IPV has not been analysed in Europe as a whole. The objective was to assess the prevalence and main characteristics of experiencing physical and/or sexual and psychological-only IPV among young women in the European Union and to identify individual and contextual associated risk factors. Methods We analysed a cross-sectional subsample of 5976 ever-partnered women aged 18–29 years from the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights Violence Against Women Survey, 2012. The main outcomes were current physical and/or sexual IPV and lifetime psychological-only IPV. Risk factors were assessed by the prevalence ratio (PR) from multilevel Poisson regression models. Results Current prevalence of physical and/or sexual IPV was 6.1%, lifetime prevalence of psychological-only IPV was 28.7%. Having suffered physical and/or sexual abuse by an adult before age 15 was the strongest risk factor for IPV (PR: 2.9 for physical and/or sexual IPV, PR: 1.5 for psychological-only IPV). Other individual risk factors were: perceived major difficulties in living within their household income (PR: 2.6), having children (PR: 1.8) and age 18–24 years (PR: 1.5) for physical/sexual IPV and immigration background for psychological-only IPV (PR: 1.4). Living in countries with a higher prevalence of binge drinking or early school dropout was positively associated with IPV. Conclusions Findings show that the fight against violence in young women should consider individual characteristics, childhood experiences of abuse and also structural interventions including reduction of alcohol consumption and improvement in the education-related indicators.

- Abstract
Background: The patient safety culture (PSC) in health institutions depends on various organizational and human factors. Our aim was to evaluate, as a teaching strategy, the knowledge in patient safety and perceptions about the PSC. Methods: A convenience sample, with 122 health professionals from Regional Minister of Health’s patient safety courses attendees in 2015. Before each course, were delivered a knowledge questionnaire about patient safety (own elaboration) and a validated PSC questionnaire (estimating 3 dimensions: managerial support, perception of safety and expectations / actions). Valuations on CSP were recategorized in positive, negative and neutral, identifying strengths (≥75% of positive evaluations) and opportunities for improvement (≥50% of negative evaluations). At the end of each course an anonymous satisfaction questionnaire was delivered. Results: 60% responded correctly to questions about knowledge in patient safety, identifying areas for improvement in safe practices (hand hygiene and microorganisms resistant to antibiotics, with 66% and 61% of incorrect answers, respectively), and in management of health risks (investigation and identification of adverse events, with 62% and 56% of incorrect answers, respectively). 80% considered the institutional PSC positive, and the perception of safety as an opportunity for improvement (63.9% of negative evaluations). Thus, 88% admitted worrying about patient safety only after adverse incidents, and 65% felt afraid to talk about them. The satisfaction with the teaching methodology was 9.3 points out of 10. Conclusions: The overall assessment of PSC was mostly positive, identifying specific areas for improvement that allowed orienting the training in patient safety, motivating the participants and suggesting intervention strategies to improve patient safety in our organizations., RESUMEN Fundamentos: La cultura de seguridad del paciente (CSP) en las instituciones sanitarias depende de diversos factores organizativos y humanos.

Objective:To know the rates of infection of the surgical wound in the Department of Neurosurgery between 2011 and 2014. Methods:An observational, prospective study was conducted of the rates of surgical wound infection among patients admitted for more than 48 h to the Neurosurgery Department of a tertiary-level university hospital between July 2011 and December 2014. Results:The study surveyed a total of 536 surgical procedures performed in 521 patients. The rate of diagnosed surgical site infection (SSI) was 4.85% (26 infections), below the established acceptable threshold of 5%. Of these, 65.38% were organ-space infections, 30.77% deep infections, and 7.69% superficial infections. Infection rates for each type of surgical procedure were 4.35% for spinal fusion, 0.00% for refusion of spine, 2.08% for laminectomy, 5.95% for ventricular shunt, and 5.14% for craniotomy. Antibiotic prophylaxis was evaluated as suitable in 80.22% of surgical procedures. Discussion and conclusions:Infection rates were lower when the surgery was elective, clean, the patient had a lower ASA, and when suitable antimicrobial prophylaxis was administered. The rate of suitable antimicrobial prophylaxis shows that there is room for improvement. In order to minimize the risk of surgical wound infection, all professionals involved in patient care need to know and apply current recommendations, especially those relating to proper hand hygiene and suitable antibiotic prophylaxis.

- Abstract
Objective: Asthma is an important public health issue. The goal of this study is to analyse the trends in self-reported asthma prevalence in the Madrid Region and its association with socio-demographic and health factors., Methods: Data from the "Non-Communicable Disease Risk Factor Surveillance System" in adult population (SIVFRENT-A) 1996-2013 were used. Prevalences and 95% CI were estimated for: current asthma, cumulative prevalence of asthma and asthma attack in the last 12 months, in five periods. Changes in inter-period prevalence were estimated by calculating prevalence ratios (PR) with 95% CI by Poisson regression. The association between asthma prevalence socio-demographic and health variables was evaluated by multivariate logistic regression., Results: Current prevalence of asthma and cumulative prevalence of asthma increased per study period an average of 14%. Asthma attack prevalence in the last 12 months increased an average of 19%. It was associated (statistically significant) to an increase of current prevalence of asthma, cumulative prevalence of asthma and asthma attack prevalence in the last 12 months: being a woman, ORa: 1.55; ORa: 1.35 and ORa: 1.46 respectively; have poor self-perceived health, ORa: 3.09; ORa: 2.63 and ORa: 2.89; and intense physical activity, ORa: 1.48; ORa: 1.32 and ORa: 1.49. In the case of current prevalence of asthma and cumulative prevalence of asthma also be studying, ORa: 1.34 and ORa: 1.46 respectively., Conclusions: Self-reported asthma prevalence increased in the last decades. The prevalence was higher in woman, persons with poor self-perceived health and adults with intense physical activity., Competing Interests: Disclosure The authors report no conflicts of interest in this work.
