Article Synopsis
- - The study developed and validated a diagnostic model to quickly identify individuals at risk for first episode psychosis (FEP) by analyzing data from 2,627 participants across six countries.
- - A binary logistic regression model was used, incorporating 22 predictor variables, and achieved high accuracy in distinguishing between individuals with FEP and controls, with specificity and sensitivity rates indicating strong overall performance.
- - Despite showing some signs of overfitting in certain countries, the model demonstrated good discrimination and calibration, suggesting it could be broadly applicable in diverse ethnic settings.
Utility of probability scores for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection: A systematic review.
Rev Clin Esp (Barc)

Servicio de Medicina Interna, Hospital Universitario Infanta Leonor - Hospital Virgen de la Torre, Madrid, Spain.
Background And Objective: Clinical prediction models determine the pre-test probability of pulmonary embolism (PE) and assess the need for tests for these patients. Coronavirus infection is associated with a greater risk of PE, increasing its severity and conferring a worse prognosis. The pathogenesis of PE appears to be different in patients with and without SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Corticosteroids are one of the few drugs that have shown a reduction in mortality in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In the RECOVERY trial, the use of dexamethasone reduced 28-day mortality compared to standard care in hospitalized patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 requiring supplemental oxygen or invasive mechanical ventilation. No benefit in patients not requiring respiratory support at randomization was observed.

Introduction: Mental health (MH) care has important challenges, especially in the field of humanization. Our objectives were to identify the humanization measures in MH plans of the Spanish autonomous communities (AC) and the priorities to be developed in this area.
Material And Methods: A large and multidisciplinary group of people involved in MH care participated in a consensus, according to a modified Delphi method, based on «design thinking», in three phases: (1) identification of humanization measures in MH plans of AC; (2) analysis of the implementation of these measures; and (3) identification of humanization priorities in MH.
