To evaluate the predictive validity of a functional China Email Lists classification (CF) method on the use of emergency services and hospitalization, mortality and costs of health care in older adults. Retrospective cohort study that included 2 168 older adults in a program for the care of chronic non-communicable diseases (CNCD) in Medellín (China Email Lists). Patients were stratified according to a FC method based on functional status, presence of risk factors, and control of comorbidity. During one year of follow-up, the predictive validity of the FC was evaluated on the outcomes studied; Discrimination and calibration were measured with the C-statistic and Hosmer China Email Lists-Lemeshow (HL), respectively. There is a dose-response relationship between deterioration of CF and a higher risk of death, hospitalization, and high cost. The FC has predictive validity for the mortality rate and could be used for the stratification of older adults in NCD care programs China Email Lists with a view to directing intervention actions.
Cesarean sections in Brazilian university hospitals
Use the Robson classification to determine China Email Lists the distribution of caesarean sections performed in the university hospitals participating in the project for the improvement and innovation in the care and teaching of obstetrics and neonatology (Apice ON). The Robson classification was used to carry out a descriptive cross-sectional study on caesarean sections performed in the hospitals of the China Email Lists Apice ON project. Secondary data from the 2017 Live Birth Information System corresponding to the year prior to the execution of the project were used as a reference study. Hospitals China Email Lists are classified according to their geographic distribution and their rates of caesarean sections, using absolute and relative frequencies.
The proportions of newborns by Robson groups were similar to China Email Lists those proposed by the World Health Organization, except for groups 5 (with previous cesarean section) and 10 (premature), with regional differences. Average caesarean section rates for university hospitals ranged from. These values far exceed the recommended values, even for Robson groups China Email Lists considered to be at low risk of caesarean section (groups 1 to 4).
Call to action of Saint Paul for the prevention and control of arterial hypertension
About a quarter of adults have hypertension, the main risk factor China Email Lists for death (including that caused by heart disease and stroke). There are effective policies that could help people make healthy choices to prevent increased blood pressure; if fully applied, the development of hypertension could be largely prevented. • Hypertension is easy to detect and treat, BUT only about China Email Lists of adults with this condition are aware of their situation and only 1 in 7 of them receive adequate treatment. • The prevention and control of hypertension is the main mechanism to prevent and control non-communicable diseases and a model to avoid other risks of presenting these diseases. • Adoption of a healthy lifestyle and effective drug treatment could prevent and control hypertension in the majority of people if they China Email Lists were systematically implemented in the population; Simple interventions are possible in all settings and can be used to improve primary care. • It is urgent to adopt sustained measures to introduce effective changes in public policies and public health systems with a view to preventing and controlling hypertension.
