Neves, Ana Luisa; Jácome, Cristina; Taveira-Gomes, Tiago; Pereira, Ana Margarida; Almeida, Rute; Amaral, Rita; Alves-Correia, Magna; Mendes, SandraBackground: Health and fitness apps have potential benefits to improve self-management and disease control among patients with asthma. However, inconsistent use rates have been reported across studies, regions, and health systems. A better understanding of the characteristics of users and nonusers is critical to design solutions that are effectively integrated in patients’ daily lives, and to ensure that these ...

Amaral, Rita; Jácome, Cristina; Almeida, Rute; Pereira, Ana Margarida; Alves-Correia, Magna; Mendes, Sandra; Rodrigues, José Carlos CidraisWe aimed to identify persistent asthma phenotypes among adolescents and to evaluate longitudinally asthma-related outcomes across phenotypes. Adolescents (13-17 years) from the prospective, observational, and multicenter INSPIRERS studies, conducted in Portugal and Spain, were included (n = 162). Latent class analysis was applied to demographic, environmental, and clinical variables, collected at a baseline med...

Cardiovascular events reported in randomized controlled trials in restless legs...
Duarte, Gonçalo Silva; Alves, Mariana; Silva, Maria A.; Câmara, Raquel; Caldeira, Daniel; Ferreira, Joaquim J.Objective: Evaluate the frequency of cardiovascular adverse events reported in randomized controlled trials (RCT) in Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). Methods: Databases were searched up to October 2015. Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials of patients with RLS were included if quantitative data were extractable. The primary outcome was cardiovascular adverse events defined as cardiac diseases, blood ...
