Effect of Primary Care Center Characteristics, Healthcare Worker Vaccination Status and Patient Economic Setting on Patient Influenza Vaccination Coverage Rates.

Background: Reaching the public health organizations targets of influenza vaccination in at-risk patient groups remains a challenge worldwide. Recognizing the relationship between the healthcare system characteristics and the economic environment of the population with vaccination uptake can be of great importance to improve.

Methods: Several characteristics were correlated in this retrospective ecological study with data from 6.

Increasing Influenza Vaccination in Primary Healthcare Workers Using Solidary Incentives: Analysis of Efficacy and Costs.

Introduction: Influenza vaccination campaigns have difficulty in reaching the 75% uptake in healthcare workers (HCWs) that public health organizations target.

It also analyses the efficacy and cost of the campaign.

The effect of weekends and public holidays on the care of acute coronary syndrome in the Spanish National Health System.

Introduction And Objectives: To analyze whether admission on weekends or public holidays (WHA) influences the management (performance of angioplasty, percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI]) and outcomes (in-hospital mortality) of patients hospitalized for acute coronary syndrome in the Spanish National Health System compared with admission on weekdays.

Methods: Retrospective observational study of patients admitted for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or for non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS) in hospitals of the Spanish National Health system from 2003 to 2018.

Results: A total of 438 987 episodes of STEMI and 486 565 of NSTEACS were selected, of which 28.
