“…Sin embargo, somos concientes que el nivel de evidencia es una herramienta básicamente monodimensional que tiene en el diseño de los estudios el enfoque de su evaluación 5,6 . Al revisar la puntuación de la escala según el diseño de los estudios; encontramos que sólo hay un artículo evaluado como meta-análisis; revisión sistemática y corte transversal.…”

Methodological quality in prognostic papers (scale MinCir Pr)Introduction: Our team reported the development of a scale for assessing methodological quality in prognostic papers (scale MinCir Pr). The aim of this paper is to report the process of validation of scale MinCir Pr. Material and Methods: We reviewed 121 papers about prognosis. Score was performed according to the scale MinCir Pr and level of evidence. In addition we recorded the number of publications of the author. For the construct validity of the measurement was made through the technique known extreme groups, which claims that the evaluations differ regarding the critical attribute. To this end, we used the level of evidence items 2 and 4, waiting for a difference in scale scores of articles published at the ends of the score. Results: For validation of extreme groups we compare the performance of the scale in relation to the level of evidence 2 and 4, since in these groups had more papers (55 and 48 respectively). The average score of the scale in papers with level of evidence 2 was 82.21 ± 13.79 compared with the score in papers with level of evidence 4 which was 64.97 ± 17.10 (p = 0.000). Conclusion: We performed the validity of the scale builder MinCir Pr using the technique known extreme groups.

“…Internal validity in the qualitative inquiry is described as truthfulness with respect to representation of the participant (Holloway, 2005:p277) and refers to the confidence that the study design, conduct, and analysis has minimized or avoided biases (Bornhöft et al, 2006).…”

Migrants to Norway disproportionately use emergency medical services while under-using primary care, obviating the medical and cost advantages of the Regular General Practitioner (RGP) scheme. Little is known about migrants' use of the RGP scheme and the obstacles that affect ability and motivation to obtain or comply with treatment. The authors questioned 12 GPs around Oslo who serve migrants, using a semi-structured interview guide. GPs defined migrants in terms of socio-cultural difference rather than legal status, these differences often obstructing doctor-patient communication and understanding. GPs reported that migrants often seem helpless in dealing with the public health service owing to language difficulties, differences in expectations and a systemic failure to co-ordinate care. The findings suggest the importance of providing information about health services in a migrant's mother tongue upon arrival in Norway, of GPs taking detailed patient histories from the beginning to identify obstacles to communication and treatment, and of co-ordinating emergency services with other care
