RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: Have the most current evidence in relation to the evaluation of medical healthcare for patients with diabetes in primary care. METHOD: During the review process, we followed the recommendations to improve the publication of systematic reviews and meta-analyses and the preferred reporting points for PRISMA systematic reviews. The bibliographic search was carried out in Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), SCOPUS, Scielo, MedLine/ PubMed, Cochrane databases and in the Google Scholar search engine, with free and controlled language, using the MeSh search terms: «Physicians, Primary Care¼, «Diabetes Mellitus, Type2¼. Eight selected articles were analyzed. The articles were selected based on their relevance, published in peer-reviewed academic journals and published between 2019 and 2023. RESULTS: The main study tool represents interventions in knowledge and practice about the care of patients with diabetes among primary care physicians. The most important discussion topics extracted in the analyzed articles refer to knowledge, clinical inertia, patients' housing challenges, adherence intervention programs, and a self-care application for patients with diabetes. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study indicate the need to improve medical health care through knowledge, attitudes and practices in primary care regarding patients with diabetes. In this way, it could be considered a useful tool to promote medical healthcare in primary care.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: Children are at a higher risk of influenza infection compared to the general population. The World Organization Health and recommendations of the Vaccine Advisory Committee of the Spanish Association of Pediatrics contemplate annual vaccination as the most effective way to prevent the disease. Therefore, the purpose of this review was to update information on efficacy and safety in the anti -shed vaccine in children and adolescents. METHODS: A search in four electronic databases (Scopus, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Medline / Pubmed, Google Scholar and Cochrane), as well as a manual search to identify original research published between 2012 and 2022. The guidelines of ANALYSIS (PRISMACR) as a preferred report element for systematic reviews. RESULTS: Seven original research articles were included where two issues of antigripal vaccination were identified in healthy children/adolescents and with pathologies. The efficacy (between approximately 30% and 80%) varied depending on the vaccine used and circulating subtypes. Most adverse reactions were mild intensity, and the most common local adverse event was pain in the injection site. CONCLUSIONS: We positively highlight the safety of pediatric flu vaccination in analyzed studies, on the contrary, with respect to the efficacy of flu vaccination, we observe a wide variability of results. There is a clear need to continue conducting efficacy and safety studies in the child.

INTRODUCTION: Influenza is one of the diseases with the greatest epidemiological impact and the greatest relevance in the management of health services. The flu vaccine can have great variability each season, so our objective was to know the effectiveness of the flu vaccine for the 2017/2018 season for the prevention of severe cases of flu in a general acute hospital in 385 beds. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Case control study. All hospitalized patients with laboratory confirmed influenza during the 2017/2018 season were included. Those who met the criteria for a severe case of influenza were considered cases. Those that did not meet the severity criteria were considered controls. The factors associated with the development of severe influenza were calculated. RESULTS: The effectiveness adjusted by age group and comorbidity was 60.7% (20.5-80.5). The vaccinated and unvaccinated groups were different in terms of age (P<.0381). The highest proportion of cases were concentrated in those over 65 years of age (45.5%). Vaccination status against severe influenza was found to be an independent protective factor (OR=.746; .694-.831). CONCLUSIONS: The effectiveness of influenza vaccination provided greater protection against infection and reduced the severity of influenza in hospitalized patients. These findings should be considered to improve vaccination strategies and achieve better vaccination coverage in the population at risk.
