The treatment of type 2 diabetes is based on four fundamental pillars: diet, exercise, therapeutic education, and pharmacological therapy. There are ten groups of antidiabetic drugs that can be classified according to their mechanism of action, effects on body weight, risk of hypoglycemia, and ability to reduce the development of complications. The choice of medication will be individualized based on the preferences and characteristics of the individual, taking into consideration the presence of cardiovascular disease, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, obesity, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The type 2 diabetes mellitus treatment algorithm from the RedGDPS Foundation is an evidence-based tool that can help us select the most appropriate pharmacological therapy depending on the characteristics of each patient.

Objective: To examine the perceptions of primary care professionals regarding the integration and effectiveness of mHealth in managing patients with chronic conditions, as well as their digital skills.
Design: Descriptive cross-sectional observational study conducted from April to November 2023.
Setting: Primary care services in the Health Department of Denia, Alicante, Spain.
Participants: Professionals in nursing, medicine, and physiotherapy.
Measurements: Participants completed an anonymized ad hoc questionnaire divided into two sections: sociodemographic data and questions regarding the use of mobile health technologies and the internet.
Results: A total of 181 professionals participated, showing high proficiency in managing mobile applications (median score of 8 out of 10; IQR=2), with higher proficiency observed among younger professionals (P<.001). 56.35% had prescribed official or scientifically endorsed digital information. The primary advantage identified for mHealth was the enhancement of patient self-monitoring and self-control (86.74%). However, 88.95% noted the difficulty of using mobile technologies depending on patient type as a disadvantage. 64.64% believed mHealth should be targeted towards patients or caregivers dealing with cardiometabolic or respiratory chronic conditions.
Conclusions: The study underscores a generally positive perception of mHealth among primary care professionals, highlighting their technological competence. It also emphasizes the potential of mHealth to improve patient self-management and enhance electronic documentation of patient follow-up. Addressing the digital divide is critical to ensuring equitable access to mHealth and thereby improving health care and outcomes.

Objectives
To describe the analgesic treatment of patients with advanced chronic disease (ACD), to determine pain management, and to detect opportunities for improvement.
Three primary care teams, one intermediate care hospital and five nursing homes in Catalonia.
Participants
Patients with ACD and pain according to the Brief Pain Inventory (Short Form) scale (or Pain Assessment in Advanced Dementia scale, in case of advanced dementia).
Main measurements
Place of care (home, nursing home, hospital), end of life (EOL) trajectory (organ failure, cancer, dementia, multimorbidity), type of analgesic treatment and pain management according to the Pain Management Index scale.
Results
The study included 183 patients. The most frequent EOL trajectory was dementia, followed by organ failure, multimorbidity and cancer. The most commonly used analgesic was paracetamol, while weak opioids were testimonial. Analgesic use differed according to EOL trajectory and place of care, with the use of strong opioids prevailing in cancer and hospital, respectively. Almost half of patients had negative PMI, and none non-pharmacological intervention for pain control was recorded.
Conclusions
In patients with ACD and palliative needs, the use of strong opioids continues to prevail in the hospital setting and oncological disease, although pain is highly prevalent in all EOL trajectories and places of care. The high percentage of negative PMI reveals the opportunity for an individualised analgesic ladder stepping for better pain control. Also, incorporating non-pharmacological approaches could help improve pain in these patients.

Objective
To evaluate the validity and reliability of a patient satisfaction questionnaire designed to measure the quality of care in university podiatry clinics, and to analyze the perception of care quality in this teaching-assistance setting.
Design
Descriptive cross-sectional observational study.
Setting
University Podiatry Clinic at the University of A Coruña (CUP-UDC), Spain.
Participants
Three hundred and fifteen adult users capable of completing a questionnaire on podiatric care quality, selected through consecutive sampling. The rejection rate was 4.3%.
Interventions
The “Quality of care in the clinical area of podiatry questionnaire” was used, specifically designed to measure the quality of care in university podiatry clinics. It evaluated clinical aspects, information, administration, facilities, timing, and accessibility on a 5-point Likert scale. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient.
Results
The overall mean score was 4.48 ± 0.34 (“Good”). Factor analysis revealed six dimensions instead of the original five, suggesting a more valid structure. Internal consistency was high (Cronbach's alpha of 0.881). The best-rated factors were “Care”, “Procedures” and “Clinical aspects”.’ Item correlations showed some differences from the original study, highlighting a strong correlation between care received and staff friendliness.
Conclusions
The results indicate high satisfaction with care at CUP-UDC. The analyzed instrument proved to be valid and reliable for assessing care quality in the university podiatry setting from the service user's perspective. The new factor structure provides a more detailed view of the factors influencing care quality, offering valuable information to improve clinical practice and podiatry training.

Introduction
Oral anticoagulation Self-control programs have demonstrated efficiency over recent years.
Objective
The aim of the study was to evaluate the level of knowledge and coagulation level of self-controlled anticoagulated patients after an educational program.
Design
A quasi-experimental study, pre-test and post-test.
Site
Health area of the Hematology Service of the Virgen de la Victoria University Hospital (Málaga, Spain).
Participants
Self-monitored anticoagulated patients.
Interventions
Educational intervention about oral anticoagulation knowledge focused on patients that will initiate the self-control program in our consultation.
Main measurements
To check the patient's adherence and coagulation level, we evaluated the Rosendaal Time in Therapeutic Rank (TTRr), both before and after the intervention.
Results
145 patients have been included from 2016 to 2022 with a mean age of 49.18 years (SD 17.24). The mean score for the first test about knowledge was 14.61 (SD 3.26) and the mean score for the second test was 17.01 (SD 2.14) (p < 0.001). Values before and after interventions were also statistically significant (67.46 vs 70.53, p< 0.001).
Conclusions
The results showed that knowledge improved after the training session and the TTR values are better after the training which appears to be an effective action to improve the knowledge about oral anticoagulation in these patients.

Objective
To analyse the implementation and identify and describe the community activities (CA) developed during 2018–2022, in the Primary Health Care (PHC) of the health area of Santiago de Compostela y Barbanza. In addition, the barriers and facilitators for its development will be determined.
Design
Observational, cross-sectional study.
Setting
The study was conducted in Galicia, an autonomous community located in northwestern Spain, covering the 74 health centres in the health area, which are part of the public network of the Spanish health system.
Participants
All nursing coordinators were invited to participate, as well as heads of service and those PHC professionals with greater knowledge of the CA developed.
Main measurements
A hetero-administered questionnaire on the characteristics, barriers and facilitators of CA was completed by means of a telephone interview.
Results
A total of 95 CA were identified. Most were one-time activities (72.6%), single-session (67.4%), with passive participation of the attendees (100%) and little cross-sectoral collaboration (9.5%). 76.8% of the CA were not evaluated and arose on the initiative of PHC professionals. The flexibility of PHC professionals’ agendas was identified as a key factor in achieving the implementation of CA in PHC.
Conclusions
In order to achieve an effective implementation of CA, greater institutional involvement is crucial to facilitate the flexibility of PHC agendas, the evaluation of CA, the incorporation of professionals with specific training in community care, as well as greater collaboration with community agents.
目标:分析圣地亚哥-德孔波斯特拉和巴尔班萨卫生区初级卫生保健(PHC)在 2018-2022 年期间开展的社区活动(CA)的实施情况,并对其进行识别和描述。此外,还将确定其发展的障碍和促进因素:设计:观察性横断面研究:研究地点:加利西亚,位于西班牙西北部的一个自治区,覆盖该卫生区的 74 家医疗中心,这些医疗中心是西班牙医疗系统公共网络的一部分:邀请所有护理协调员、服务负责人以及对 CA 有较多了解的初级保健专业人员参加:主要测量指标:通过电话访谈的方式,完成一份关于护理协调人的特点、障碍和促进因素的问卷调查:结果:共确定了 95 项社区保健活动。大多数都是一次性活动(72.6%),单次会议(67.4%),与会者被动参与(100%),很少有跨部门合作(9.5%)。76.8%的社区保健活动没有经过评估,是由初级保健专业人员主动发起的。初级保健专业人员议程的灵活性被认为是在初级保健中实施 CA 的关键因素:为了有效实施社区保健,机构的更多参与对于促进初级保健议程的灵活性、评估社区保健、吸收受过社区保健专门培训的专业人员以及加强与社区代理的合作至关重要。

Objective
Our study aimed to assess the association between all-cause mortality and the most prevalent chronic diseases in Spain, including diabetes mellitus.
Design
Population-based retrospective cohort study.
Site
Spanish population (Spanish National Health Survey).
Participants
A population numbering 14,584 respondents of both sexes aged 40 years or older was selected.
Main measurements
The outcome variable was all-cause mortality over 6-year follow-up, measured by probabilistic cross-matching with the national death registry. Socioeconomic variables, health indicators, service use, and behavioral factors were collected. The main data source was the National Statistics Institute.
Results
Of the 14584 people included, 1346 (9.2%) died over 6-year follow-up. Regarding the most prevalent chronic diseases, those showing the strongest association with mortality were cancer (HR 1.74, 95% CI 1.40–2.16); chronic lung diseases (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchitis, or emphysema; HR 1.44, 95% CI 1.19–1.70); acute myocardial infarction (HR 1.33, 95% CI 1.08–1.65); and diabetes (HR 1.23, 95% CI 1.06–1.42). Less prevalent chronic diseases also increased mortality risk, including cirrhosis/liver disease (prevalence 1.5%; HR 1.67, 95% CI 1.22–2.29) and cerebrovascular diseases, including embolism and stroke (prevalence 2%; HR 1.39, 95% CI 1.07–1.81).
Conclusions
Chronic diseases affect over half the population aged 40 years and older in Spain. Some of the most prevalent conditions are closely associated with all-cause mortality. These include chronic lung diseases, acute myocardial infarction, and diabetes. Given their impact on mortality in the population, more efforts are needed in chronic disease prevention and management.
研究目的我们的研究旨在评估全因死亡率与西班牙最常见的慢性疾病(包括糖尿病)之间的关系:设计:基于人群的回顾性队列研究。地点: 西班牙人口(西班牙全国健康调查):主要测量指标:主要测量指标:结果变量为随访 6 年的全因死亡率,通过与国家死亡登记处的概率交叉匹配进行测量。此外,还收集了社会经济变量、健康指标、服务使用情况和行为因素。主要数据来源是国家统计局:在纳入的 14584 人中,有 1346 人(9.2%)在 6 年的跟踪调查中死亡。就最常见的慢性病而言,与死亡率关系最密切的是癌症(HR 1.74,95% CI 1.40-2.16)、慢性肺部疾病(慢性阻塞性肺病、支气管炎或肺气肿;HR 1.44,95% CI 1.19-1.70)、急性心肌梗死(HR 1.33,95% CI 1.08-1.65)和糖尿病(HR 1.23,95% CI 1.06-1.42)。发病率较低的慢性病也会增加死亡风险,包括肝硬化/肝病(发病率 1.5%;HR 1.67,95% CI 1.22-2.29)和脑血管疾病,包括栓塞和中风(发病率 2%;HR 1.39,95% CI 1.07-1.81):慢性疾病影响着西班牙一半以上 40 岁及以上的人口。一些最常见的疾病与全因死亡率密切相关。这些疾病包括慢性肺病、急性心肌梗塞和糖尿病。鉴于这些疾病对人口死亡率的影响,需要在慢性病预防和管理方面做出更多努力。
