Prognostic factors in Spanish COVID-19 patients: A case series from Barcelona.

Background: In addition to the lack of COVID-19 diagnostic tests for the whole Spanish population, the current strategy is to identify the disease early to limit contagion in the community.

Aim: To determine clinical factors of a poor prognosis in patients with COVID-19 infection.

Design And Setting: Descriptive, observational, retrospective study in three primary healthcare centres with an assigned population of 100,000.

Indicator condition-guided HIV testing with an electronic prompt in primary healthcare: a before and after evaluation of an intervention.

Objective: Indicator condition (IC)-guided HIV testing is a strategy for the diagnosis of patients with HIV. The aim of this study was to assess the impact on the proportion of HIV tests requested after the introduction of an electronic prompt instructing primary healthcare (PHC) physicians to request an HIV test when diagnosing predefined IC.

Methods: A prospective interventional study was conducted in 2015 in three PHC centres in Barcelona to assess the number of HIV test requests made during the implementation of an electronic prompt.

[Indicator condition guided human immunodeficiency virus requesting in primary health care: results of a collaboration].

Introduction: The search of HIV infected patients guided by indicator conditions (IC) is a strategy used to increase the early detection of HIV. The objective is to analyze whether a collaboration to raise awareness of the importance of early detection of HIV in 3 primary care centers influenced the proportion of HIV serology requested.

Methods: Multicenter retrospective study was conducted comparing the baseline and a post-collaboration period.
