To enhance the transparency and quality of this involvement, the GRIPP2 (Guidance for Reporting Involvement of Patients and the Public) guidelines were developed, providing specific guidance for systematic and transparent reporting. This methodological note describes the adaptation and translation of these guidelines into Spanish, with the aim of promoting quality, consistency, and transparency in the evidence on patient and public involvement in research. Two versions are presented: GRIPP2 long form, with 34 items aimed at studies where patient and public involvement is the primary focus, and GRIPP2 short form, with 5 items for studies where involvement is a secondary component. The guidelines are primarily intended for researchers and authors wishing to incorporate patient and public involvement in their research, as well as for reviewers and journal editors. Additionally, they may be of interest to research policy makers, funding agencies, health technology assessment bodies, and, of course, patients and the public.","PeriodicalId":94017,"journal":{"name":"Gaceta sanitaria","volume":" ","pages":"102564"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146159847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis included 27 countries. We fitted multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression models with hospitalization and doctor visits per person per year as dependent variables.Results: The findings suggest that country-level variables explain between 3.3% and 4.9% of the differences in the likelihood of hospitalizations and approximately 10% of the likelihood of visiting a doctor at least once a year. Life expectancy and number of beds were the country-level variables most strongly associated with a reduced probability of hospitalization and doctor visits, respectively. The study also found that comorbidity and employment status were risk factors associated with hospitalization and doctor visits, while physical activity was a protective factor.Conclusions: Country-level factors positively associated with higher health service use are the number of beds, health expenditure per capita and preventable mortality. Life expectancy and treatable mortality are negatively associated with the use of these services. Greater comorbidity increase the likelihood of hospitalization and medical visits, while higher muscular strength or regular physical activity reduce them.","PeriodicalId":94017,"journal":{"name":"Gaceta sanitaria","volume":" ","pages":"102465"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143588962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Five microsimulation scenarios were designed, modifying co-payment percentages and monthly limits, and the effects on public pharmaceutical spending, the economic burden between patients and the Spanish National Health System, and the redistribution of the burden among patient groups were evaluated. The Kakwani index was used to measure the progressivity of each scenario.Results: The results show that equalizing active workers and pensioners and introducing more detailed income brackets can increase the progressivity of the co-payment system. In scenarios 2, 3, 4, and 5, the Kakwani index was higher than 0.2, indicating greater vertical equity. Public budgetary costs ranged from 48 million euros to 710.2 million euros. In all scenarios, the user's share of pharmaceutical expenditure decreased, especially for lower-income groups.Conclusions: A more progressive and equitable pharmaceutical co-payment system is feasible and can better protect low-income individuals without disproportionate budgetary impact. Eliminating the distinction between active workers and pensioners and exempting co-payments for incomes below 6,000 euros can significantly increase the system's equity.","PeriodicalId":94017,"journal":{"name":"Gaceta sanitaria","volume":" ","pages":"102427"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142735415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model coefficients (system scores) were estimated using ordered logistic regression. A second sample from the general population (n=120) was used to validate the points system.Results: A linear points system was developed with five criteria or attributes, each with two or three levels. The scores, calculated as averages from the samples, assigned significant importance to clinical aspects (e.g., risk of deterioration while waiting), but also considered patients' quality of life (pain/discomfort and limitations in daily activities), as well as social criteria (work-related limitations).Conclusions: Prioritization systems help improve equity in access to healthcare and can contribute to reducing waiting times.

Diagnosis, treatment and follow-up costs were considered, as well as the screening costs in the hypothetical scenarios (measured in Euros 2024). From the resident population (50-80 years), the target population and the CT scanners needed to cover the program's demand were calculated. A one-way deterministic sensitivity analysis was performed.Results: The gross budget impact was estimated at €1708.19 million for the current scenario. Among the hypothetical scenarios, it can range from €3737.17 million (biennial screening, 55-65 years) to €10 009.54 million (annual screening, 50-80 years), resulting in a net budget impact of €2028.98-€8301.35 million. By acquiring 100% of the necessary scanners, the investment reached approximately 22% of the annual program's own costs in the first year. The net impact could be reduced to €1858-€7519 million, for 0% acquisition.Conclusions: Implementing a lung cancer screening program would generate a high cost for the Spanish National Health System, amounting more than one billion Euros compared to the scenario without screening.","PeriodicalId":94017,"journal":{"name":"Gaceta sanitaria","volume":" ","pages":"102515"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144610699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We designed a retrospective cohort study to assess the cost-effectiveness of DOAC compared to acenocoumarol in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) with a follow-up of up to 7 years.Method: Basque Health Service-registered patients who started oral anticoagulant treatment between 2013 and 2016 were included in the study and followed up until the end of 2019. Data were extracted from an electronic medical record management system. Effectiveness was expressed in terms of life years gained and adjusted for health-related quality of life (i.e., quality-adjusted life years [QALY]). Propensity score techniques were used to adjust the estimates for differences between groups in baseline characteristics.Results: A total of 10,843 new users of oral anticoagulants with a mean follow-up of 4.1 years were included. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of DOAC compared to acenocoumarol ranged from €1,732 to €2,556/QALY, while the incremental net benefit for different willingness-to-pay thresholds was only negative for values below €3,000/QALY.Conclusions: Based on the analysis of data from clinical practice and the similarity of results using several different techniques to adjust for bias associated with observational studies, we conclude that DOAC would be an efficient alternative for the treatment of patients with NVAF.","PeriodicalId":94017,"journal":{"name":"Gaceta sanitaria","volume":" ","pages":"102451"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143461157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
