IMPORTANCEOpioid prescriptions for treatment of pain in emergency departments (EDs) are associated with long-term opioid use. The temporal pattern of opioid prescribing in the context of the opioid epidemic remains unknown. OBJECTIVE To examine the temporal pattern of opioid prescribing within an ED for varying pain conditions between 2009 and 2018. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A population-based, cross-sectional study was conducted at the ED of an urban academic medical center. All patients treated within that ED between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2018, were included. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURESThe proportion of patients prescribed an opioid for treatment of pain in the ED temporally by condition, condition type, patient demographics, and physician prescriber.

Aim: To determine the effectiveness of a case management model for approaching multi-pathological people in a health promoting entity of the contributory healthcare scheme in Bogotá, Colombia between 2018 -2019. Design: Mixed methods research. Method: The study contemplates two components: a quantitative component using a quasi-experimental analytical design before and after longitudinal intervention to determine the effectiveness of the case management model and a qualitative descriptive design to understand the experience of the participants about the model. The Administrative Department of Science, Technology and Innovation of Colombia (Colciencias) funded this project by means of call 777-November 2017, under the financing agreement No. 848-December 2017.Discussion: Addressing problems deriving from the structure of the Colombian healthcare system is crucial for implementing case management models. Furthermore, the effectiveness of such models may be affected by power relations and market failures, but the proved potential of a model may represent a generalized benefit for the Colombian health system. Impact:In Colombia, considering complications and management of chronic noncommunicable diseases as isolated cases is considered as the highest cost events in healthcare provision, since an average of 12.8 million pesos is invested in each patient. This has led to rethink the management in these patients by means of a comprehensive model that guarantees the effectiveness of healthcare delivery, in the framework of a healthcare system heavily affected by payment capacity, where the market has a strong predominance, such as the case of Colombia.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue sintetizar en términos de evidencias cualitativas o evidencias Q hallazgos derivados de estudios cualitativos frente al tema de las terapias de sustitución de la función renal (TSFR). Método: metaestudio cualitativo desarrollado en cuatro momentos. Resultados: se integraron 75 estudios. De los cuales, 52 exploraban experiencias relacionadas con hemodiálisis (HD), 10 de diálisis peritoneal (DP), 6 trasplante, 6 DP y HD al mismo tiempo y 1 estudio exploró las 3 TSFR. Los estudios incluidos describen y representan el fenómeno de vivir en una condición de cronicidad y estar sometido a una TSFR de manera muy semejante, que se agruparon en patrones comunes del fenómeno, estos son descritos en tres grandes temáticas: la metamorfosis de la vida; dolores diversos y la terapia invade la vida. Conclusión: los resultados dan cuenta de la estrecha interrelación de las dimensiones humanas, por esto el fenómeno de vivir en una TSFR genera una transfiguración el “Ser”, como totalidad, pues no es posible desligar una dimensión de otra, de allí la importancia de pensar la atención de las necesidades en perspectiva relacional y no jerarquizada.

Objetivo: comprender las experiencias de cuidado de enfermeras integrantes de grupos de trasplante de la ciudad de Bogotá. Materiales y métodos: investigación cualitativa, utilizó la estrategia de grupos focales; la organización y el análisis de datos siguieron la propuesta de codificación de Janice M. Morse; participaron, previo consentimiento informado, 10 de 20 enfermeras de unidades de trasplante. Se realizó triangulación entre las integrantes del equipo investigador y la literatura relevante. Resultados: emergieron 6 categorías: 1) los múltiples significados del trasplante: cambio, pasión, satisfacción, esperanza, libertad, mayor cercanía, responsabilidad, compromiso, complejidad; 2) las redes de apoyo: familia, asociación de enfermeras, grupo de trabajo interdisciplinario, empresas promotoras de salud, industria farmacéutica; 3) implicaciones del día a día: relación cercana con el paciente y la familia, fortalecimiento de la autoestima profesional, estatus dentro del grupo de trasplante, manejo de las cargas; 4) trayectorias del cuidado profesional: acompañamiento de la enfermera a través del ciclo vital del paciente y posibilidad de identificar necesidades por la estrecha relación con él; 5) el perfil de la enfermera: carácter, conocimiento, compromiso, disponibilidad permanente y capacidad de gestión; 6) contradicciones del trasplante: rechazo al injerto, sufrimiento, desesperanza, sistema de salud; para enfermería, las agotadoras jornadas de trabajo.

Background Some reports suggest there are differences in health needs between the population affiliated to the subsidized health insurance scheme (SS) and those affiliated to the contributory health insurance scheme (CS) in Colombia. The objective of this study was to identify the epidemiological profile of the population affiliated to the SS in Colombia and to compare the main epidemiological features of the SS to the CS. Methods Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) methodology, the search was carried out from 1993, with no other restriction. The information was synthesized into five categories according to the most important risk populations. We estimated combined incidences from epidemiological surveillance data, prevalence ratio, and other measures to estimate the difference between the studied groups. A 95% confidence interval was considered. A random effects model was used weighted by the inverse of the variance of the cumulative incidence calculated for each disease. The risk of bias was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute’s critical appraisal tools. Results A total of 16,236 articles were identified; 14,972 were excluded after title and abstract screening, 725 articles were verified as full text, and finally 268 articles were included. The relative risk of non-communicable and communicable diseases was lower in the SS than in the CS (RR: 0.37 and 0.72, respectively, p-value < 0.05). However, the risk of presenting obstetric and maternal conditions in the SS versus the CS was RR 1.55 for frequent conditions during early childhood, and for other diseases it was RR 1.28 with a p-value of < 0.05. The use of health services was different by scheme, with less demand, access, and provision being found in health services in the SS. Conclusions This study allowed us to conclude that there are differences in the incidence, prevalence, and use of health services between health affiliation schemes (SS and CS) in Colombia, thereby assisting in decision-making for stakeholders.
