Mercado y solidaridad

A free society should reconcile market and solidarity. This is getting difficult to achieve in a global economy, by the means of Welfare State. But this could be achieved by liberal means, if we had a more adequate concept of capital, including moral capital (with within it solidarity and peace), and a more adequate concept of responsibility (including the duty of reproducing the capital adequately conceived). The practical mean of reaching this goal is the working together of free enterprises and free associations, so that social and moral efficiency of the market could become as good as its economic efficiency. Such a market is called a subtle market

Uptake of new treatment strategies for deep vein thrombosis: an international audit

Objective. Study of the uptake of new medical technologies provides useful information on the transfer of published evidence into usual practice. We conducted an audit of selected hospitals in three countries (Canada, France, and Switzerland) to identify clinical predictors of low-molecular-weight (LMW) heparin use and outpatient treatment, and to compare the pace of uptake of these new therapeutic approaches across hospitals. Design. Historical review of medical records. Setting and participants. We reviewed the medical records of 3043 patients diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in five Canadian, two French, and two Swiss teaching hospitals from 1994 to 1998. Measures. We explored independent clinical variables associated with LMW heparin use and outpatient treatment, and determined crude and adjusted rates of LMW heparin use and outpatient treatment across hospitals. Results. For the years studied, the overall rates of LMW heparin use and outpatient treatment in the study sample were 34.1 and 15.8%, respectively, with higher rates of use in later years. Many comorbidities were negatively associated with outpatient treatment, and risk-adjusted rates of use of these new approaches varied significantly across hospitals. Conclusion. There has been a relatively rapid uptake of LMW heparins and outpatient treatment for DVT in their early years of availability, but the pace of uptake has varied considerably across hospitals and countrie
