Impact of an SMS intervention to support type 2 diabetes self-management: DiabeText clinical trial.

Background: Complications arising from uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) pose a significant burden on individuals' well-being and healthcare resources. Digital interventions may play a key role in mitigating such complications by supporting patients to adequately self-manage their condition.

Aim: To assess the impact of DiabeText, a new theory-based, patient-centered, mobile health intervention integrated with electronic health records to send tailored short text messages to support T2DM self-management.

DiabeText, a mobile health intervention to support medication taking and healthy lifestyle in adults with type 2 diabetes: Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of DiabeText, a low-intensity, multifaceted, mobile health (mHealth) intervention to support medication taking and lifestyle change targeted to people with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Design: Phase III, 12-months, two-arm (1:1 allocation ratio), randomized parallel-group trial.

Methods: We will recruit 740 adults with glycated hemoglobin (A1c) >8% (>64 mmol/mol) and with at least one prescription of a non-insulin antidiabetic drug.

Non-adherence to non-insulin glucose-lowering drugs: Prevalence, predictors and impact on glycemic control and insulin initiation. A longitudinal cohort study in a large primary care database in Spain.

Background: A better understanding of patient non-adherence to type 2 diabetes medication is needed to design effective interventions to address this issue.

Objectives: (1) To estimate the prevalence of non-adherence to diabetes medication; (2) to examine its impact on glycemic control and insulin initiation; (3) to develop and validate a prediction model of non-adherence.

Methods: We conducted a longitudinal cohort study based on data from electronic health records.

[Evolution of the outpatient antibiotic prescription between 2012 and 2018. Characteristics of the ABPresclín platform created for the analysis of antibiotic prescription in the health service of the Balearic Islands.].

Objective: One of the fist lines of action of the National Plan against Antibiotic Resistance (PRAN) is to monitor the use of antibiotics as a fundamental basis for the fight against resistance. In order to know the antibiotic prescription habits, we pretended to describe the outpatient prescription of systemic antibiotics in the Balearic Islands through exploitation of ABPresclín database.

Methods: It was an ecological descriptive study of the electronic outpatient prescriptions of systemic antibiotics of the Health Service of the Balearic Islands from 2012 to 2018.

[Dietary habits and physical activity in a secondary school in the Balearic islands].

Objective: To evaluate the changes in dietary habits and physical activity, as well as the prevalence of obesity and overweight that have occurred in a cohort of 1st and 4th year secondary school pupils after non-structured health education activities.

Method: A descriptive, longitudinal study, in which anthropometric variables, dietary habits, leisure and physical activity were collected in the 1st year secondary school pupils (n=61), and they were measured again when they were in the 4th year. The differences between the two school years were analysed using the Mc Nemar-Bowker Test.

[Estimating the coverage of systematic vaccinations among the Balearic Island infant population].

Background: In order for vaccination programs to be carried out properly, it is essential for the vaccination coverage to be known. On the Balearic Islands, the reported coverage was much less than for the rest of Spain. The objective of this study is that of estimating the coverage of the vaccinations included on the recommended schedule up to 18 months of age (4 doses of oral polio, tetanus and diphtheria; 3 doses of whooping cough; 1 dose of measles, rubella and mumps).
