Assessment instruments: standardization of the European Service Mapping Schedule (ESMS) in Spain.

Acta Psychiatr Scand Suppl

Departamento de Neurociencias, Universidad de Cadiz, Spain.

Published: February 2001

Objective: To adapt the European Service Mapping Schedule (ESMS) for use in Spain and assess the quality of this schedule.

Method: Following linguistic and conceptual translation, 77 services in five Spanish catchment areas were described by independent local raters, including two experts in health services research. Feasibility (applicability. acceptability and practicality), descriptive validity and overall percentage agreement were assessed.

Results: ESMS feasibility was considered adequate. The tree system facilitates reporting and comparison of data. Face, content and discriminant validity are adequate for almost all services. The overall reliability was high but completion of the service utilization section required expert supervision. The ESMS revealed large differences in service availability and utilization in the five different areas of Spain.

Conclusion: The ESMS has proved useful for describing mental health services in Spain, and facilitates comparisons between catchment areas.

Centre National de Référence du Paludisme, Paris, France; Centre de Recherche en Epidémiologie et Santé des Populations (CESP), INSERM U1018, Paris, France; Université Paris-Saclay, Service des Maladies infectieuses et tropicales, APHP, Hôpital Bicêtre, Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, France; Société Française de Médecine des Voyages.

Background: Post-Artesunate delayed hemolysis (PADH) occurs in approximately 15% of treated patients 2 to 3 weeks after artesunate administration. Identifying risk markers for PADH would help predict which patients are at higher risk.

Methods: In this prospective national cohort study conducted in a non-malaria endemic area from 2011 to 2016, a Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess the association between clinical and biological data available at Day 0 and the occurrence of PADH within 30 days of artesunate administration.
