Abstract

To examine the impact of comprehensive smoke-free legislation (SFL) (Law 42/2010) on the incidence and prevalence of adult asthma and coronary disease in primary health care (PHC) patients from three Spanish regions, overall and stratified by sex. Longitudinal observational study conducted between 2007 and 2013 in the population over 15 years of age assigned to 66 PHC teams in Catalonia, Navarre and the Balearic Islands. Crude rates and age-standardized (truncated: asthma ≥ 16 years and coronary disease ≥ 35 years) incidence and prevalence rates using the direct method based on the European Standard Population were estimated based on data from PHC electronic health records. Joinpoint analysis was used to analyse the trends of age-standardized incidence and prevalence rates. Trends were expressed as annual percentage change and average annual percent change (AAPC). The standardized asthma incidence rate showed a non-significant downward trend and the standardized prevalence rates rose significantly in the three regions. Standardized coronary disease incidence and prevalence rates were considerably higher for men than for women in all regions. The standardized coronary disease incidence rates in Catalonia (AAPC: -8.00%, 95% CI: -10.46; -5.47) and Navarre (AAPC: -3.66%, 95% CI: -4.95;-2.35) showed a significant downward trend from 2007 to 2013, overall and by sex. The standardized coronary disease prevalence trend rate increased significantly in the whole period in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands, although a non-significant downward trend was observed from 2010 in Catalonia. No changes in the trends of adult asthma and coronary disease in PHC Spanish patients were detected after the introduction of comprehensive SFL.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 14. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 March 2019.
All research outputs
#2,304,845
of 23,020,670 outputs
Outputs from European Journal of Public Health
#479
of 3,515 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#56,903
of 440,103 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Journal of Public Health
#14
of 44 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,020,670 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 89th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,515 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.1. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 440,103 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 44 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its contemporaries.
