Language and Cultural Barriers and Facilitators of Sexual and Reproductive Health Care for Migrant Women in High-Income European Countries: An Integrative Review.

Introduction: Dealing with intercultural communicative barriers in European countries' national health services is an increasing and necessary challenge to guarantee migrant women's right to health care. This integrative review describes the communication barriers and facilitators that migrant women encounter to access and use sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services in Europe.

Methods: A literature search was performed to identify original studies in PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and Scopus, using keywords associated with migrant women and SRH services.

Heart failure admission across glomerular filtration rate categories in a community cohort of 125,053 individuals over 60 years of age.

A reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) has been described as a predictor of heart failure (HF). However, the increased risk across eGFR categories has not been fully evaluated, which is especially relevant in older individuals in whom both the prevalence of HF and decreased eGFR are higher. Furthermore, this association has not been studied in Mediterranean populations, where coronary heart disease (CHD), a frequent cause of HF, has a low prevalence.

[Heart failure in primary care: Attitudes, knowledge and self-care].

Objective: To determine the attitudes, knowledge, and self-care practices in patients with heart failure (HF) in Primary Care, as well as to identify factors associated with better self-care.

Design: Cross-sectional and multicentre study.

Setting: Primary Care.

[Heart failure: a view from primary care].

Objective: Our aim was to find out the situation of heart failure (HF) in primary care.

Design: Cross-sectional multicentre study.

Setting: Four primary health care centres and a hospital in an urban area of Barcelona.
