“…More recently, with patient-centred medicine helping to balancing the doctor and the patient perspectives, Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) emerged [34] with items used to measure psychosocial attributes oriented by the patients' perspectives [35]. These perspectives can be assessed qualitatively to generate items, which are later tested for content validity to create a draft questionnaire that can then be investigated for its psychometric properties [36].…”

Background: Hypertension is the most prevalent risk factor for cardiovascular disease globally. Roughly one-third of the adult population has hypertension. However, most people diagnosed with hypertension do not benefit from blood pressure control with pharmacologic interventions: they are overdiagnosed and overtreated and might experience negative psychosocial consequences of being labelled. These consequences are relevant outcomes that need to be assessed and validly measured to identify all benefits and harms related to interventions designed to prevent cardiovascular disease. Objectives: To develop a pool of items with high content validity for a draft version of a condition-specific questionnaire to measure the psychosocial consequences of being labelled with mild hypertension. Methods: We selected relevant items from existing Consequences of Screening (COS) questionnaires. These items belonged to two groups: COS core items and potential condition-specific items. All items were originally in Danish and were translated into Brazilian Portuguese using the dual-panel method. Individual and group interviews were conducted with people with mild hypertension and low risk for cardiovascular disease, and were designed to test the translated items for face and content validity and were also used to generate new relevant items. Structured individual interviews were conducted to categorise all the items into domains. Results: The Brazilian Portuguese dual-panel translation of both groups of items was found to be relevant for adults diagnosed with hypertension. We generated 52 new items to achieve high content validity. The result was a set of 132 items divided into 22 domains in 2 parts. Part I was directed at the general population, whereas part II was directed only at people diagnosed with hypertension and it consisted of 38 items in 8 domains. Twelve items remained as single items. High content validity was achieved with the pool of 132 items divided into 22 domains in 2 parts. Discussion: High content validity was achieved for a condition-specific questionnaire measuring the psychosocial consequences of being labelled with mild hypertension. This instrument encompassed 132 items divided into 22 domains in 2 parts. Thereby, a draft of the Consequneces of Hypertension questionnaire (COH) was developed. The psychometric properties of this questionnaire will be discussed in a diferent paper.

“…Scientific literature widely documents the current overuse of antibiotics 13,14 and recent studies have determined that antibiotics are the most frequently prescribed drugs 15 . On the other hand, high blood pressure is a major public health problem and a leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality [16][17][18] . One-quarter of the world's adult population has hypertension 16 and more than 7 million of deaths can be attributed to the effects of hypertension 17 .…”

LICENSE 3.0 UNPORTED. RESUMENIntroducción. Las Reacciones Adversas a Medicamentos (RAM) constituyen una importante fuente de morbilidad y mortalidad en todo el mundo, generando altos costes económicos. Por ello, el objetivo de este estudio fue determinar aquellos tratamientos que producen una mayor cantidad de RAM en la población general así como conocer los principales síntomas que generan. Material y métodos.Se realizó un estudio transversal observacional mediante la cumplimentación de un cuestionario. Para ello, 510 pacientes fueron encuestados sobre qué patologías tenían diagnosticadas, sus tratamientos farmacológicos y las RAM sufridas.Resultados. Un 26,7% de los pacientes encuestados había sufrido alguna RAM. Obtuvimos resultados estadísticamente significativos (p ≤ 0.05) al clasificar a los pacientes según el tratamiento prescrito y el número de RAM sufridas para los tratamientos farmacológicos de artrosis, anemia y enfermedades del sistema nervioso (ansiedad, depresión, insomnio). Además cuantificamos frecuencias de aparición de RAM mayores en aquellos fármacos prescritos contra la artrosis (22,6% de los casos sufrieron RAM), anemia (14,28%), alteraciones nerviosas (13,44%) y asma (16%). En cuanto a los síntomas producidos, los más frecuentes fueron gastrointestinales (60% de los pacientes) y alteraciones nerviosas (mareos, dolor de cabeza, problemas de conciliación del sueño etc, 24,6%).Discusión. La principal conclusión de nuestro estudio es que aquellos fármacos que producen mayor número de RAM están prescritos para el tratamiento de la artrosis, la anemia, las alteraciones nerviosas y el asma. Además, los síntomas que aparecen principalmente tras una RAM son alteraciones gastrointestinales y nerviosas. Los profesionales sanitarios deberían estar alerta ante la posible aparición de RAM en dichos tratamientos y proporcionar a sus pacientes el empoderamiento necesario para que ellos mismos pudieran detectarse RAM. Esto evitaría consecuencias negativas tanto en su estado de salud como en el gasto sanitario.Palabras clave: reacciones adversas, farmacoterapia, síntomas, frecuencia, enfermedad crónica. ABSTRACTObjectives. Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and generate high health costs. Therefore, the aims of this study were to determine the treatments which produce more ADRs in general population and the main symptoms they generate.Methods. An observational, cross-sectional study consisting in performing a self-rated questionnaire was carried out. 510 patients were asked about the treatments, illnesses and ADRs, they had suffered from.Results. 26.7% of patients had suffered from some ADR. Classifying patients according to the type of prescribed treatment and studying the number of ADR that they had, we obtained significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) for treatments against arthrosis, anemia and nervous disorders (anxiety, depression, insomnia). Moreover, determining absolute frequencies of these ADRs appearance in each treatment, higher frequencies were ag...

“…Indeed, the influence of the factors associated with quality of life can predict long-term functional independence, adherence to anti-hypertensive therapy and incidence of survival in hypertensives. [16][17][18] Previous studies have suggested that clinical aspects directly affect the quality of life in hypertensive individuals, 19 such as comorbidities (heart failure, acute myocardial infarction and angina pectoris), 20 medication, 21,22 disease knowledge level and blood pressure values. 22 On the other hand, it is unknown whether physical fitness and demographic characteristics are related to quality of life in hypertensive individuals.…”

Background: Hypertensive patients present, in addition to worse cardiovascular health, lower health-related quality of life compared to normotensive subjects. Factors such as functional capacity, functional status, pain, participation in social activities, mental and emotional health, fatigue and energy level, along with perception of general health, seem to be relevant for evaluation in this population. However, evidence is unclear in hypertensive patients. Objective: To analyze the factors associated with quality of life in hypertensive patients. Methods: Forty-five patients were recruited. The dependent variables of the present study are the quality of life domains. Demographic data and clinical conditions were considered independent variables. The Medical Outcomes Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaire was used to measure quality of life. Handgrip strength, blood pressure and anthropometric indicators were evaluated. Crude and adjusted linear regression analysis was used. Results: It was verified that education level, body mass index and muscle strength were associated with the functional capacity domain (p < 0,05), whereas systolic blood pressure was associated with the physical domain (p < 0,05). Women presented lower quality of life on the pain domain compared to men and educational level was associated with the social domain (p < 0,05). Conclusion: Hypertensive patients with lower levels of body mass index, higher levels of education and muscle strength presented a better quality of life on the physical domain, while the social aspects presented a positive relationship with education level. Women presented a worse quality of life on the pain domain compared to men.
