- ‘Pela Saúde de Portugal’ – data from a screening on blood pressurePublication . Ribeiro, Heloisa; Silva, Luis Nogueira; Viana, Manuel; Assis, José Guilherme; Coelho, Telmo Borges; Patrocínio, João Pedro; Ferreira, Rogério; Ambrósio, Inês; Féria, Rita Palma; Abecasis, Francisca; Pinto, Inês; Gonçalves, Fernando Martos; Pinho, Rosa dePurpose The Portuguese Society of Hypertension is responsible for the Mission 70/26 Project, a movement that aims to achieve 70% control of hypertensive patients aged 18-65 years old, under Primary Healthcare by 2026. To reach the general population, different activities were done, in this article we will describe one in particular, the campaign called 'Pela Saude de Portugal'. Materials and methods From December 2023 to July 2024, there were nine screenings for hypertension done in eight cities in Portugal. Volunteers were asked about medical history, their weight and blood pressure were assessed and they were informed about Hypertension (HTN) and target organ damage. Results479 screenings were performed. Of the participants, 243 (51%) were female. History of hypertension was reported in 34,7% of them and 32,4% of these were taking medication. There was a significant blood pressure (BP) reduction from the first to the third measurement and both systolic and diastolic BP (mean of the second and third measurements) were higher in hypertensive patients. There were significant BP differences between the cities. Conclusion 'Pela Saude de Portugal' was not a study of the prevalence of hypertension but merely an awareness campaign with HTN screening done all around the country. This type of campaign is important to draw attention to HTN and other risk factors, improving health literacy in this field. The analysis of the volunteer's characteristics is important to design future interventions.

OBJECTIVES To survey hospital patients to investigate their trust, concerns, and preferences toward the use of AI in health care and diagnostics and to assess the sociodemographic factors associated with patient attitudes. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This cross-sectional study developed and implemented an anonymous quantitative survey between February 1 and November 1, 2023, using a nonprobability sample at 74 hospitals in 43 countries. Participants included hospital patients 18 years of age or older who agreed with voluntary participation in the survey presented in 1 of 26 languages. EXPOSURE Information sheets and paper surveys handed out by hospital staff and posted in conspicuous hospital locations. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was participant responses to a 26-item instrument containing a general data section (8 items) and 3 dimensions (trust in AI, AI and diagnosis, preferences and concerns toward AI) with 6 items each. Subgroup analyses used cumulative link mixed and binary mixed-effects models.
