“…The results of this study agree with the results of similar studies on the use of hospital services [31][32][33] , consumption of pharmaceuticals 18,20 and the use of PC services 34 in Spain published before. The literature review done by Uiters 24 found a lower rate of visits in the immigrant population, but showed wide variability between studies.…”

“…This could lead us to conclude that immigrant children would use hospital emergency services more often than Spanish children. However, several studies on the frequency of the use of emergency hospital services by immigrants conclude that this rate is not higher than the one found among Spanish nationals [31][32][33] . Along these lines, a study of the frequency of use of paediatric emergency services in the Hospital Universitario Miguel Servet (the reference centre for many of the HCC under study, which receives most of the paediatric emergency cases in Zaragoza), shows that immigrant children use these services less frequently than native children 19 .…”

Diferencias en la utilización de los servicios de Atención Primaria entre niños autóctonos e inmigrantes Introduction: the current study pretends: to analyze the use of Primary Health Care Services by the immigrant population under 15 years of age in comparison to the Spanish population of the same age group; and to analyze differences in the frequentation according to different origins of the immigrant population. Material and methods: this is an observational retrospective study including all consultations of children under 15 years of age to 26 health centers in Zaragoza, Spain, during the year 2007. The main variable, frequentation, was defined as total number of visits/year. Secondary variables were the type of attention that was requested and region of origin of the. The information about the number and type of visits was obtained from the agenda in the electronic data base ("OMI©: oficina médica informatizada") of the health centers. The frequentation was adjusted according to age and sex. Results: A total of 547,524 pediatric appointments in a population of 71,114 children (of which 10.87% were immigrants) were analyzed. The adjusted annual frequency of visits in autochthonous children was 8.05 while this frequency was 5.66 in immigrant children. Among immigrant children, the highest annual frequentation (6.15) was seen among children from Sub-Saharan Africa and the lowest frequentation (4.02) was seen in children from Asia. This lower frequentation among immigrant children was seen in all types of attention (visits on request, programmed visits, emergency visits and home visits) and was independent of the opening hours of the different health centers (only morning or morning and afternoon). Conclusions: the immigrant children's population shows a lower use of the public primary health care than the autochthonous population of the same age group, independent of the region of origin. Introducción: el presente estudio pretende: 1) analizar el uso de los servicios de Atención Primaria de la población infantil inmigrante en relación con la española, y 2) analizar las diferencias existentes en esta frecuentación según la distinta procedencia. Material y métodos: se trata de un estudio observacional retrospectivo de todas las consultas a menores de 15 años llevadas a cabo el año 2007, en 26 centros de salud de Zaragoza. La variable principal, la frecuentación, se definió como el número total de visitas/año. La variable secundaria fue el tipo de atención solicitada. La información sobre los datos de las visitas se obtuvieron a partir de la agenda de la historia clínica electrónica (OMI©: oficina médica informatizada) de los centros de salud. Las tasas de frecuentación se ajustaron por edad y sexo. Resultados: se analizaron un total de 547 524 citas pediátricas sobre una población de 71 114 niños (el 10,87% eran inmigrantes). La frecuencia anual ajustada de visitas en los niños autóctonos fue de 8,05 frente a la de inmigrantes, que fue de 5,66. Dentro de los niños inmigrantes, la mayor frecuentación (6,15) se da ...

“…Respecto al uso de los servicios sanitarios, conocemos que las tasas de utilización de la población autóctona de las consultas externas, urgencias, hospitalizaciones y visitas a la atención primaria son más elevadas que las de los inmigrantes 4,5 . Es necesario analizar concretamente el impacto que supone la atención de esta población.…”

“…The use of dermatology [ 175 , 176 ], dental [ 177 ] and other specialist services [ 172 ] was lower in HAs vs locals and an economic analysis found that the health “expenditure” generated by this population was below the local average [ 174 ]. Findings regarding the use of emergency services in Spain show some inconsistent results with reports of HA men resorting to emergency services more [ 172 ] and less [ 174 ] frequently than locals. Still, qualitative inquiries suggest that emergency services are preferred for practical reasons [ 183 ] and may be used for non-urgent conditions by HAs who are not entitled to see a family physician [ 178 ].…”

Hispano-Americans in Europe: what do we know about their health status and determinants? A scoping review

et al. 2015

BackgroundPolicy makers and health practitioners are in need of guidance to respond to the growing geographic mobility of Hispano-American migrants in Europe. Drawing from contributions from epidemiology, social sciences, demography, psychology, psychiatry and economy, this scoping review provides an up-to-date and comprehensive synthesis of studies addressing the health status and determinants of this population. We describe major research gaps and suggest specific avenues of further inquiry.MethodsWe identified systematically papers that addressed the concepts “health” and “Hispano Americans” indexed in five data bases from Jan 1990 to May 2014 with no language restrictions. We screened the 4,464 citations retrieved against exclusion criteria and classified 193 selected references in 12 thematic folders with the aid of the reference management software ENDNOTE X6. After reviewing the full text of all papers we extracted relevant data systematically into a table template to facilitate the synthesising process.ResultsMost studies focused on a particular disease, leaving unexplored the interlinkages between different health conditions and how these relate to legislative, health services, environmental, occupational, and other health determinants. We elucidated some consistent results but there were many heterogeneous findings and several popular beliefs were not fully supported by empirical evidence. Few studies adopted a trans-national perspective and many consisted of cross-sectional descriptions that considered “Hispano-Americans” as a homogeneous category, limiting our analysis. Our results are also constrained by the availability and varying quality of studies reviewed.ConclusionsBurgeoning research has produced some consistent findings but there are huge gaps in knowledge. To prevent unhelpful generalisations we need a more holistic and nuanced understanding of how mobility, ethnicity, income, gender, legislative status, employment status, working conditions, neighbourhood characteristics and social status intersect with demographic variables and policy contexts to influence the health of the diverse Hispano-American populations present in Europe.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12889-015-1799-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
