Objective: To determine the prevalence of COVID-19 and the characteristics of infected patients, as well as the prevalence of mental disorders associated with the infection and the associated risk factors. Secondary: to know the prevalence of the long COVID syndrome and the characteristics of this cohort.
Design: Incidence study of mental disorder in patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and case-control study of long COVID syndrome in the subsample of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 without a history of mental disorder.
Objective: To estimate the incidence of hospitalizations for severe exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and its associated factors in a cohort of patients diagnosed with COPD and diabetes type 2.
Design: Prospective cohort study. SITE: Primary care centres of Lleida city (7 centres totally).
Background: The risk of developing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), the associated comorbidities and response to bronchodilators might differ in men and women. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of COPD and the clinic-epidemiological characteristics of primary care patients with COPD according to gender.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study using electronic healthcare records Catalonia (Spain), during the 01/01/2012-31/12/2017 period.
Background: Type 2 diabetes comorbidity is common in patients with COPD. One of the most frequent causes of hospital admission in patients with COPD are exacerbations.
Methods: Prospective cohort study, which included 512 patients with COPD recruited in a primary care centre in Mollerussa (Lleida, Spain).
Objective: The objective of the study was to know the profile of patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and who have never been smokers.
Design: A transversal study.
Location: Primary Care Centre of Pla d'Urgell (Primary care setting in Lleida, Spain).
Purpose: Anxiety and depression are underdiagnosed in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. Few studies have tried to identify their association with hospitalization (severe exacerbation). The objective of this study was to determine whether the anxiety/depression was associated with severe exacerbation.

The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of undiagnosed COPD and its specific characteristics in a population with CVRF.
Materials And Methods: Study the prevalence of COPD in patients with CVRF.
Background: Anxiety and depression are common entities in patients diagnosed with COPD. However, the impact that they have on the exacerbation of illness is scarcely studied.
Objective: To determine if the presence of anxiety and depression is associated with a greater risk of frequent exacerbation (≥2 per year) in patients diagnosed with COPD.
Background: The risk of exacerbation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) depends on the severity of disease and other less well known factors. Predictive models of exacerbation are more accurate than the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). The objective was to design a model that predicts the risk of exacerbation in COPD.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The objective of this work was to determine predictive factors of hospital admission for exacerbation during primary care visits in patients with COPD.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was undertaken to assess risk of hospital admission for COPD exacerbation in primary care patients from November 1, 2010 to October 31, 2013. Data sources were primary care electronic medical records and the hospital discharge minimum data set.
Objective: To identify risk factors of mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Design: A retrospective cohort study.
Location: Primary care setting in Lleida, Spain.
Objective: To identify the influenza vaccination coverage in healthcare workers in primary care and to determine the factors associated with vaccination (2013-2014 season).
Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 287 healthcare workers who completed a questionnaire that included questions about knowledge, beliefs and attitudes to influenza and vaccination. We estimated the vaccine coverage and identified the variables associated with vaccination of healthcare workers by using non-conditional logistic regression models.
Introduction: The main objective was to determine the effectiveness of influenza vaccination in preventing hospitalization due to exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). One secondary objective was to estimate the prevalence of vaccination, and to describe the factors that were associated with being vaccinated.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted that included 1,323 patients diagnosed with COPD in the Health Centre of the Pla d'Urgell (Lleida, Spain).
