“…Studies have consistently reported that hypertensive patients often have inaccurate subjective risk perceptions of adverse CVD event 33 , 34 and underestimate their risk when compared to objective measures such as the FRS. 35–37 For example, despite an increased risk of CVD events from comorbidities such as diabetes and unhealthy lifestyle behaviors (smoking), hypertensive patients were unable to provide an accurate risk estimate 33 , 38 , 39 even in high-income countries (HICs) such as the Netherlands, 33 US, 40 and Switzerland.…”

Background Accurate cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk appraisal is essential for hypertensive patients to identify correctly their risk status and take efficient behavioral measures timely to avoid major adverse outcomes. However, hypertensive patients’ risk perceptions of CVD events in Ethiopia are unknown. Thus, the study aimed to compare the subjective CVD risk perception level of patients with the nonlaboratory Framingham Risk Score (nl-FRS). Methods A cross-sectional design was used. The Attitudes and Beliefs about Cardiovascular Disease Risk Questionnaire and the nl-FRS were used to compare subjective versus objective measures of CVD risk. Agreement between participants’ risk perceptions and the nl-FRS were examined using the kappa statistic. Bivariate chi-square test and multinomial logistic regression analyses were run to identify factors associated with risk perceptions. The statistical significance was set at a p-value < 0.05 level. Results Participants (n=377) had a mean age of 53.61 ± 12.80-years, range (18–82 years), 51.2% were males, 42.7% had less than high school education, 45.1% achieved target BP control, and mean HTN duration was 8.01 ± 6.07 years. The majority (58.62%) of the participants had a low subjective risk perception of CVD events (mean 17.79, 95% CI: 17.43–18.15). Approximately three-fourths (72.4%) had a moderate nl-FRS risk calculation (mean, 13.84, 95% CI: 13.36–14.33). Agreement between participants perceived-risk and the nl-FRS was poor (kappa = 0.0002, standard error = 0.023, p =0.99). Participants’ CVD risk-perception inaccuracy was also high (76%) primarily due to underestimation. Hypertension duration, frequency of physician visits, and level of diabetes control were significant predictors of CVD risk underestimation. Conclusion Hypertensive patients had inaccurate and low subjective risk perceptions of CVD events compared to moderate objective risks identified using the nl-FRS. Planned education on HTN and CVD risk factors is essential to improve patients’ CVD risk perception to reduce adverse CVD events.

“…La expresión "el conocimiento es poder" (scientia potestas est) pronunciada por Francis Bacon en 1597 es, cuatro siglos más tarde, una ecuación perfectamente extrapolable a la realidad actual (Rodríguez García 2001). Este "poder" ha sido usado a lo largo de la historia reciente como un instrumento capaz, entre otras cuestiones, de incidir en unos resultados electorales, de provocar la dimisión de altos cargos públicos e incluso, más recientemente, de contrastar información para evitar la difusión de fake news.…”

Pese a que la ciudadanía, en algunos países de nuestro entorno, ya gozaba en el siglo XX de tímidas medidas para conocer información en poder de las Administraciones y gobiernos, no fue hasta comienzos del siglo XXI cuando en el continente europeo comenzó a surgir el debate de si este derecho de acceso a la información pública debía ser considerado como derecho fundamental y, por tanto, merecedor de la protección que ello conlleva. En una sociedad, como la nuestra, donde prima el conocimiento, se ha llevado a cabo una transformación normativa que ha permitido acercar la información pública a la ciudadanía, ya sea de forma directa proporcionada por la Administración, o bien, ejerciendo el derecho de acceso reconocido en la Ley 19/2013, de 9 de diciembre, de transparencia, acceso a la información pública y buen gobierno. Palabras clave Derecho de acceso a la información; transparencia; leyes de libertad de información; sociedad de la información.
