    A patients group representing several British victims has launched legal action against the Spanish government over claims it failed to safeguard people against the potentially fatal side effects of one of the country’s most popular painkillers, involved in a series of serious illnesses and deaths. The drug metamizole, commonly sold in Spain under the brand name Nolotil, is banned in several countries, including Britain, the US, India and Australia. It can cause a condition known as agranulocytosis, which reduces white blood cells, increasing the risk of potentially fatal infection. The Association of Drug Affected Patients (ADAF) says adverse reactions to the drugs have led to sepsis, organ failure and amputations. It has identified about 350 suspected cases of agranulocytosis between 1996 and 2023, including those of 170 Britons who live in Spain or were on holiday there. The ADAF is examining more than 40 fatalities in which it considers the drug may have led, or contributed, to death. The patients group says that case reports, including a 2009 study, suggest the British population may be more susceptible to the drug’s side effects, but this has not been confirmed by independent scientific study. The group is demanding an investigation into the drug and new controls. It filed its action on 14 November in the national court in Madrid. Cristina García del Campo, founder of the organisation, said: “This drug has destroyed people’s lives and it should now be withdrawn. One lady took three tablets and she had part of her feet amputated and several fingers. Even if it doesn’t kill you, once you’ve had sepsis your body is never the same.” Read full story Source: The Guardian, 26 November 2023

    Healthcare sector strikes are a relatively recent phenomenon, becoming notable only in the last half of the twentieth century. In this article, Spanish medical ethics expert Gonzalo Herranz, from the Bioethics Department at the University of Navarra, examines the ethical issues and legal implications associated with healthcare worker strikes, as well as looking at the moral duty to try and prevent strikes.

    Healthcare workers have had the longest and most direct exposure to COVID-19 and consequently may suffer from poor mental health. Quintana-Domeque et al. conducted one of the first repeated multi-country analysis of the mental wellbeing of medical doctors at two timepoints during the COVID-19 pandemic to understand the prevalence of anxiety and depression, as well as associated risk factors. Rates of anxiety and depression were highest in Italy (24.6% and 20.1%, June 2020), second highest in Catalonia (15.9% and 17.4%, June 2020), and lowest in the UK (11.7% and 13.7%, June 2020). Across all countries, higher risk of anxiety and depression symptoms were found among women, individuals below 60 years old, those feeling vulnerable/exposed at work, and those reporting normal/below-normal health.

    The Regional Patient Safety Observatory of the Community of Madrid is an initiative aimed at increasing the quality of healthcare and the safety of professionals and patients in the healthcare environment. The Observatory is a consultative and advisory body of the Ministry of Health in matters of health risks and is functional in nature.  Its objectives are: Promote and spread the culture of health risk management in the Community of Madrid. Obtain, analyse and disseminate regular and systematic information on health risks. Propose measures to prevent, eliminate or reduce health risks. It hosts the Patient Safety Brief Library, a tool for disseminating scientific knowledge developed by a group of experts within the framework of the Patient Safety Strategy 2027 of the Ministry of Health.

    The COVID-19 crisis triggered high levels of anxiety and depression among doctors in the UK, Italy and Spain, a new study has found The research of 5,000 survey responses, across the three countries, found Italian doctors were most likely to have suffered during the crisis last year. The study, published in PLOS ONE, measured the mental wellbeing of doctors in Catalonia (Spain), Italy and the UK during June, November and December 2020. It found that around one in four medical doctors in Italy had experienced symptoms of anxiety in June and December 2020, with around one in five reporting symptoms of depression over the same period. In Catalonia around 16% of doctors reported anxiety and around 17% experienced depression. In the UK around 12% of doctors reported anxiety and around 14% had symptoms of depression. The study is among the first cross-country analysis of mental wellbeing among healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic and the first to focus on medical doctors. Across all countries, female doctors and doctors under 60 were more likely to have anxiety or depression. Professor Quintana-Domeque, professor of economics at the University of Exeter Business School, who carried out the study said: “The COVID-19 pandemic has been classified as a traumatic event, with healthcare workers arguably having the most direct and longest exposure to this disease." “The results of this study suggest that institutional support for healthcare workers, and in particular doctors, is important in protecting and promoting their mental health in the current and in future pandemics.” Read full story Source: The Independent, 3 November 2021

    This qualitative descriptive study in the journal BMC Nursing aimed to analyse the experiences of patients with type 2 diabetes during the stay-at-home order in place during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. It looked at the experiences of ten patients with type 2 diabetes living in Catalonia and identified the strategies and resources they used to manage their care. The study found that many people with type 2 diabetes reported effective self-care during confinement and were able to adapt well using the resources available, without face-to-face contact with primary care health staff.

    Compensation claims are a useful source of information on patient safety research. This study in The Journal of Patient Safety aimed to determine the main causes of surgical compensation claims and their financial impact on the health system. The authors analysed the frequency, causes, consequences, locations and surgical settings of compensation claims brought against the surgical area of the Murcia Health System between 2002 and 2018. The study found that the most frequent causes for claims were surgical error (42.4%) and treatment error (30.9%), and that the main surgical settings involved were orthopaedic surgery and traumatology (27.4%), gynaecology and obstetrics (25.7%) and “general surgery” (17.2%).
