Functional Status of Patients over 65 Years Old Intervened on for a Hip Fracture One Year after the Operation.

Objectives: Evaluation of the functional status one year after a hip fracture surgery and the influence of sarcopenia and other clinical factors at the time of admission.

Method: Prospective observational study with 135 patients over 65 years of age. Functional status of basic (modified Katz) and instrumental activities (Lawton and Brody) and walking ability (Functional Ambulation Classification, FAC) was measured on admission, at discharge, and telephonically one year later.

[Knowledge, use and opinion about written informed consent in primary healthcare nurses: CONOSER pilot project].

Objective: To know the knowledge, implementation and opinion on informed consent of generalist nurses, specialists and primary care residents.

Medicines in exceptional circumstances for solid tumours: focusing on evidence, effectiveness, and toxicity profiles.

Objective: To analyse the applications for drugs in special situations (compassionate use, off-label use and foreign drugs) for solid  tumours, and to assess the level of evidence supporting these applications, as  well as the effectiveness and safety of most frequent drugs.

Method: We performed a cross-sectional study of all applications for drugs in  special situations during 2018 and 2019 in a representative third-level centre.  We collected data about generic names of drugs, clinical indications, and level  of evidence provided on the application form.

Harmonizing and improving European education in prescribing: An overview of digital educational resources used in clinical pharmacology and therapeutics.

Aim: Improvement and harmonization of European clinical pharmacology and therapeutics (CPT) education is urgently required. Because digital educational resources can be easily shared, adapted to local situations and re-used widely across a variety of educational systems, they may be ideally suited for this purpose.

Methods: With a cross-sectional survey among principal CPT teachers in 279 out of 304 European medical schools, an overview and classification of digital resources was compiled.
