| Abstract (English): | Objectives. We evaluated the prevalence of microbiologically-confirmed influenza infection among patients with influenza-like symptoms and compared the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of patients with and without influenza infection. Methods. Retrospective study of a cohort of patients with influenza-like symptoms from 2016 to 2018 who participated in a clinical trial in thirteen urban primary centres in Catalonia. Different epidemiological data were collected. Patients rated the different symptoms and signs on a Likert scale (absent, little problem, moderate problem and severe problem) and self-reported the measure of health status with the Euro-Qol visual analogue scale. A nasopharyngeal swab was taken for microbiological isolation of influenza and other microorganisms. Results. A total of 427 patients were included. Microbiologically confirmed influenza was found in 240 patients (56.2%). The percentage of patients with moderate-to-severe cough, muscle aches, tiredness and dizziness was greater among patients with microbiologically confirmed influenza. The self-reported health status was significantly lower among patients with true flu infection (mean of 36.3 ± 18.2 vs 41.7 ± 17.8 in patients without influenza; p<0.001). Conclusion. Clinical findings are not particularly useful for confirming or excluding the diagnosis of influenza when intensity is not considered. However, the presence of moderate-to-severe cough, myalgias, tiredness and dizziness along with a poor health status is more common in patients with confirmed flu infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | Objetivos. Evaluar la prevalencia de la infección por gripe confirmada microbiológicamente en pacientes con síntomas gripales y comparar las características clínicas y epidemiológicas de los pacientes con y sin gripe confirmada. Métodos. Estudio retrospectivo de una cohorte de pacientes con síntomas gripales entre 2016 y 2018 que participaron en un ensayo clínico realizado en trece centros de atención primaria urbanos de Cataluña. Se recogieron datos epidemiológicos y los pacientes puntuaron los diferentes síntomas y signos en una escala de Likert (ausente, problema leve, problema moderado y problema intenso) así como su estado de salud autodeclarado con la escala visual analógica de EuroQol. Se tomó un hisopo nasofaríngeo para el aislamiento microbiológico de virus influenza y otros microorganismos. Resultados. Se incluyeron 427 pacientes. Se confirmó gripe microbiológicamente en 240 pacientes (56,2%). El porcentaje de pacientes con sensación moderada a intensa de tos, dolores musculares, cansancio y mareos fue significativamente más alta entre los pacientes con gripe que aquellos sin infección confirmada. El estado de salud autodeclarado fue significativamente menor en el grupo de pacientes con gripe confirmada (media de 36,3 ± 18,2 vs 41,7 ± 17,8 en pacientes sin gripe; p<0,001). Conclusión. Los hallazgos clínicos no son particularmente útiles para confirmar o excluir el diagnóstico de gripe cuando no se considera su intensidad. Sin embargo, la presencia de tos, mialgias, cansancio y mareos de forma moderada-intensa y un estado de salud malo es más frecuente entre los pacientes con gripe confirmada. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
