Post-pandemic patient safety: have the characteristics of incidents with harm changed? Comparative observational study in primary care via review of medical records with a trigger tool.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic generated or accelerated healthcare changes, some of which persist thereafter (e.g., healthcare reorganisation, remote consultation).

Association of socioeconomic status with prognosis in hypertensive patients over age 65: a cohort study in the community setting.

Objective: To examine whether socioeconomic status is associated with prognosis after the diagnosis of hypertension (HTN), in a population older than 65 years, in the community setting.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: All the primary care centres of the Community of Madrid (n=392).

Poor compliance with clinical practice guidelines in the management of asthma in primary care in the community of Madrid.

Introduction: Asthma is a common chronic disease in the paediatric age group that requires close follow-up. Clinical practice guidelines offer evidence-based recommendations to achieve adequate control of the disease.

Objective: To assess the management of childhood asthma in the primary care setting in the Community of Madrid, and the adherence of health care professionals to guideline recommendations.

Validation of a Reduced Set of High-Performance Triggers for Identifying Patient Safety Incidents with Harm in Primary Care: TriggerPrim Project.

Objective: The aim of the study was to construct and validate a reduced set of high-performance triggers for identifying adverse events (AEs) via electronic medical records (EMRs) review in primary care (PC).

Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study for validating a diagnostic test. The study included all 262 PC centers of Madrid region (Spain).

Is primary care a patient-safe setting? Prevalence, severity, nature, and causes of adverse events: numerous and mostly avoidable.

Unlabelled: Knowing the frequency and characteristics of adverse events (AEs) is key to implementing actions that can prevent their occurrence. However, reporting systems are insufficient for this purpose and epidemiological studies are also required. Currently, the reviewing of clinical records is the gold standard method for knowing the frequency and characteristics of AEs.

Occupational and work-related disease underestimated and linked to temporary disability through Primary Health Care Services.

Aim: To estimate the occupational disease linked to temporary incapacity (not work-related illness).

Background: The under-reporting of occupational disease is a recognized problem in Europe.

Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted in Spanish adult population using periods of temporary incapacity recorded in primary care during 2015.
