Randomized Controlled Trial
Cost-effectiveness of a primary care-based exercise intervention in perimenopausal women. The FLAMENCO Project.
Adequate physical activity levels and a healthy lifestyle may prevent all kinds of non-communicable diseases, promote well-being and reduce health-care costs among perimenopausal women. This study assessed an exercise programme for perimenopausal women. ⋯ The programme could be considered cost-effective, although the overall difference in health benefits and costs was very modest. Longer term follow-up is needed.

To measure and assess differences by educational level in the place of death for cancer patients, and to determine whether patterns of geographical disparities are associated with access to palliative care services in the municipality of residence. ⋯ Developing specific plans for palliative care, with an active role being played by primary care teams, may help improve end-of-life care in Spain.

To analyze the causes of retracted publications and the main characteristics of their authors. ⋯ Currently, misconduct is the main cause of retraction. Specific strategies to limit this phenomenon must be implemented. It would be useful to standardize reasons and procedures for retraction. The development of a standard retraction form to be permanently indexed in a database might be relevant.

To analyse how team level conditions influenced health care professionals' responses to intimate partner violence. ⋯ Better individual responses to intimate partner violence were implemented in the teams which: 1) had social workers who were knowledgeable and motivated to engage with others; 2) sustained a structure of regular meetings during which issues of violence were discussed; 3) encouraged a friendly team climate; and 4) implemented concrete actions towards women-centred care.

Multicenter Study Comparative Study
[Comparison of predictive models for the selection of high-complexity patients].
To compare the concordance of complexity weights between Clinical Risk Groups (CRG) and Adjusted Morbidity Groups (AMG). To determine which one is the best predictor of patient admission. To optimise the method used to select the 0.5% of patients of higher complexity that will be included in an intervention protocol. ⋯ strong concordance was found between stratifiers, and higher predictive capacity for admission from AMG, which can be increased by adding other dimensions.
