ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate the association between integrated care and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in a primary care practice population.DesignA cross-sectional survey study.SettingPrimary care practice population.ParticipantsA sample (n=5562) of patients in two general practitioner practices in the Netherlands.Primary outcome measuresThe Rainbow Model of Integrated Care Measurement Tool patient version and EQ-5D was used to assess integrated service delivery and HRQOL. The association between integrated care and HRQOL groups was analysed using multivariate logistic regression.ResultsOverall, 933 respondents with a mean age of 62 participated (20% response rate) in this study. The multivariate analysis revealed that positive organisational coordination experiences were linked to better HRQOL (OR=1.87, 95% CI 1.18 to 2.95), and less anxiety and depression problems (OR=0.36, 95% CI 0.20 to 0.63). Unemployment was associated with a poor HRQOL (OR=0.15, 95% CI 0.08 to 0.28). Ageing was associated with more mobility (OR=1.06, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.09), self-care (OR=1.06, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.11), usual activity (OR=1.03, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.05) and pain problems (OR=1.02, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.04). Being married improved the overall HRQOL (OR=1.60, 95% CI 1.13 to 2.26) and decreased anxiety and depression (OR=0.47, 95% CI 0.31 to 0.72). Finally, females had a poor overall HRQOL (OR=1.67, 95% CI 0.48 to 0.93) and more pain and discomfort problems (OR=1.47, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.95).ConclusionThis study shows for the first time that organisational coordination activities are positively associated with HROQL of adult patients in a primary care context, adding to the evidence of an association between integrated care and HRQOL. Also, unemployment, ageing and being female are accumulating risk factors that should be considered when designing integrated primary care programmes. Further research is needed to explore how various integration types relate to HRQOL for people in local communities.

SynopsisThis study uses methods of latent trait analysis to examine the relationships between psychiatric symptoms that constitute the common psychiatric disorders encountered in primary-care settings. Two highly correlated symptom dimensions of anxiety and depression are shown to underlie these disorders. Neurovegetative sysmptoms of depression are shown to be on the same dimension as psychic symptoms of depression, but to represent a more severe manifestation of depression.

5 days of antibiotic for uncomplicated pneumonia is enough: the non-inferiority results of the SAFER RCT The most important guidelines for the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) indicate amoxicillin as the drug of first choice, however there is a lack of evidence-based indications about the duration of this therapy. This study conducted in 2 emergency departments in Canada randomized 281 children aged 6 months to 10 years with CAP without the need for hospitalization to treatment with high-dose amoxicillin for 5 days versus a traditional 10 day therapy. In terms of clinical recovery, both groups presented comparable results. In fact, the “per protocol” analysis, recommended for a “non-inferiority” design, did not formally provide this result. The exclusively clinical recruitment criteria (any investigations were optional), well reflect the reality of primary care, and the results, albeit with some limitations, suggest that in uncomplicated CAP, brief therapy should be considered in the guidelines.
