Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
[Efficacy of educational sessions to modify the prescription of new drugs].
To evaluate the efficacy of an educational intervention to minimise the prescription of those new medicines whose therapeutic effects are of little benefit. ⋯ The group educational sessions, run by doctors trained in aspects of evidence-based medicine and prepared jointly with the pharmacy unit, reduced discreetly the prescription of new medicines that were not very innovative.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
[Effectiveness of a recuperative primary care intervention in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].
The main objective is to assess the effect of a respiratory rehabilitation programme on the quality of life of patients with COPD. Secondary aims are to determine whether the intervention, as against the habitual monitoring, improves tolerance to exercise and pulmonary function, and reduces dyspnoea, the number of crises and hospital admissions due to COPD and the medication used to control the disease. ⋯ This research project aims to show that a basic recuperative intervention, which is feasible and primary care-based, can achieve improvements in the quality of life of patients with COPD.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
[Randomised clinical trial of an intensive intervention into life-styles of patients with hyperfibrinogenaemia in primary prevention of cardiovascular pathology in primary health care].
To study the effect of an intensive programme to modify life-style on levels of plasma fibrinogen in patients without cardiovascular pathology, with high fibrinogen and normal cholesterol levels. To analyse whether the effect on fibrinogen is independent, or otherwise, of the effect on lipids. ⋯ The introduction of an intensive primary prevention intervention (life-style changes) in patients with hyperfibrinogenaemia could be a more effective measure than the habitual intervention for reducing plasma fibrinogen figures. In addition, these measures could be translated into a reduction of cardiovascular risk and an improvement in the patient s quality of life.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
[Effectiveness of self-measurement of blood pressure in patients with hypertension: the Dioampa study].
To evaluate the effectiveness of self-measurement of blood pressure (SMBP) in controlling hypertension. ⋯ Self-measurement of blood pressure was effective in controlling blood pressure in the short term, but its effects faded over time.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study Clinical Trial
[Effectiveness of an intervention to provide information to patients with hypertension as short text messages and reminders sent to their mobile phone (HTA-Alert)].
To analyze the effect of an intervention to provide information with mobile phone text messages to patients with hypertension on compliance with therapy for hypertension. ⋯ The telephone messaging intervention with alerts and reminders sent to mobile phones did not improve compliance with therapy in patients with hypertension.
