En este trabajo abordamos las transformaciones del universo hospitalario de la provincia de Córdoba durante el peronismo (1946-1955), a partir de la articulación entre fuentes primarias y aportes bibliográficos especializados. Para ello, abandonamos una tradición historiográfica dominante, tributaria de estudios de las dinámicas de la ciudad de Buenos Aires o de análisis de procesos que involucran, como principal protagonista, cuando no único, al nivel federal. Ponemos en perspectiva las limitaciones y los alcances en las intervenciones articuladas por las instancias estatales, nacional y provincial, en el plano local, y la institucionalidad formal entre nación y provincias a lo largo del período. Mostramos que los ritmos de las políticas públicas y sus resultados fueron radicalmente distintos a los vaivenes identificados al nivel de las políticas nacionales orientadas al ámbito hospitalario. En esta línea, consideramos las novedades e inercias materiales y las complejidades en el proceso de avance estatal, en relación a las tradicionales atribuciones que las asociaciones de beneficencia tenían sobre la administración de un vasto conjunto de nosocomios existentes en la provincia. Finalmente, buscamos dar cuenta de dicha especificidad,  abordando un conjunto de variables ligadas a complejos procesos sociopolíticos de afirmación y consolidación de un peronismo local que nació sin la huella de la industrialización.Palabras claves:historia social, Estado, sistema hospitalario, políticas públicas, peronismo,  Córdoba, Argentina.Public Health Care Policies During Peronism: The Case of the Province of Córdoba, Argentina (1946-1955)AbstractFrom primary sources and specialized academic literature this paper analyzes changes that have occurred in the hospital system of the province of Córdoba during Peronism (1946-1955). It leaves both a historiographical tax-based tradition view focused on the city of Buenos Aires and an analysis of the process occurred at the federal level. The paper puts in perspective the scope and limitations of national and provincial governmental interventions at the local level as well as the formal institutional relationships between the national state and the Argentinean provinces. It shows that the dynamics of the public health care policies and changes at the provincial hospital system were radically different from what happened at the national level. For this purpose, it takes into account the actions taken by the state regarding the several attributions that the charities had on the administration of numerous hospitals in the province of Córdoba. Finally, it shows this specificity through the analysis of a set of variables associated with the consolidation of a local Peronism which was originated without the trace of the industrialization system.Keywords: social history, state, hospital system, public policies, Peronism, Córdoba, Argentina.

Background: After a national policy change in 2013 disallowing body checking in Pee Wee ice hockey games, the rate of injury was reduced by 50% in Alberta. However, the effect on associated health care costs has not been examined previously. Hypothesis: A national policy removing body checking in Pee Wee (ages 11-12 years) ice hockey games will reduce injury rates, as well as costs. Study Design: Cost-effectiveness analysis alongside cohort study. Level of Evidence: Level 3. Methods: A cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted alongside a cohort study comparing rates of game injuries in Pee Wee hockey games in Alberta in a season when body checking was allowed (2011-2012) with a season when it was disallowed after a national policy change (2013-2014). The effectiveness measure was the rate of game injuries per 1000 player-hours. Costs were estimated based on associated health care use from both the publicly funded health care system and privately paid health care cost perspectives. Probabilistic sensitivity analysis was conducted using bootstrapping. Results: Disallowing body checking significantly reduced the rate of game injuries (−2.21; 95% CI [−3.12, −1.31] injuries per 1000 player-hours). We found no statistically significant difference in public health care system (−$83; 95% CI [−$386, $220]) or private health care costs (−$70; 95% CI [−$198, $57]) per 1000 player-hours. The probability that the policy of disallowing body checking was dominant (with both fewer injuries and lower costs) from the perspective of the public health care system and privately paid health care was 78% and 92%, respectively. Conclusion: Given the significant reduction in injuries, combined with lower public health care system and private costs in the large majority of iterations in the probabilistic sensitivity analysis, our findings support the policy change disallowing body checking in ice hockey in 11- and 12-year-old ice hockey leagues.
