Comparative Study
[Clinical validation of 2 morbidity groups in the primary care setting].
Adjusted Morbidity Groups (GMAs) and the Clinical Risk Groups (CRGs) are population morbidity based stratification tools which classify patients into mutually exclusive categories. ⋯ The evaluators considered that both grouping systems classified the studied population satisfactorily, although the GMAs showed a better performance for more complex strata. In addition, the clinical raters preferred the GMAs in most cases.

Observational Study
[Effects of changing the appearance of medications in safety and adherence in chronic patients over 65 years of age in primary care. CAMBIMED Study].
To study whether the changes in bioequivalent drugs with different appearances are associated with an increase in lack of adherence and medication use errors, in patients >65years old treated with antihypertensive and lipid-lowering medications. ⋯ The changes made in bioequivalent drugs with different appearance could increase the number of medication use errors and decrease the adherence. More studies should be carried out to assess how much this affects the control of the disease. The intervention section is not considered because it is an observational study.
-
To measure the impact of the peer-led training for chronic patients on their health status and behaviors. ⋯ The peer training had a positive impact, with differences depending on social profiles. 1-year and 2-years posttest measurements are needed and a qualitative study is required in order to better evaluate the peer-led strategy and to adapt it to participants' needs and expectations.

To demonstrate the usefulness, for use by the primary care pediatrician, of the BASC questionnaire (Behavior Assessment System for Children) for the early detection of psychological and behavioral problems in premature infants. ⋯ The BASC questionnaire is useful for the detection and early diagnosis at the primary care level of the behavioral and emotional problems of premature children.
