La concertación económica y social en Europa: ¿Crisis o Renacimiento?
En Europa occidental la concertación económica y social entre el gobierno y las confederaciones sindicales y empresariales (el "tripartismo") forman una parte importante de la política nacional y una característica distintiva de las relaciones laborales. Los cambios recientes en las condiciones económicas y sociales, tal como el paro, y en la estructura económica (globalización, flexibilización) han afectado el poder sindical, la motivación patronal de envolverse en contactos nacionales y la libertad de gobiernos nacionales de perseguir políticas nacionales. Sin embargo estos cambios no han disminuido la concertación económica y social. Al contrario, la concertación también ha sido introducida o reforzada en países sin una tradición tripartista. Los cambios económicos y sociales solo han afectado la naturaleza de la concertación: el gobierno tiene más iniciativa y subraya más que antes la moderación salarial

El convenio económico y social en Europa: ¿Crisis o renacimiento? Hans Slomp. En Europa Occidental, el acuerdo económico y social entre el gobierno y los sindicatos y confederaciones empresariales ("sistema tripartito") es una parte importante de la política nacional y una característica distintiva de las relaciones laborales . Los cambios recientes en las condiciones económicas y sociales, como las huelgas laborales, y en la estructura económica (globalización, flexibilidad) afectan el poder del sindicato, la motivación de los empleadores para participar en los contratos nacionales y la libertad que tienen los gobiernos para llevar a cabo políticas nacionales. Sin embargo, estos cambios no han disminuido los acuerdos económicos y sociales. Por el contrario, estos acuerdos se han introducido o reforzado en países sin tradición tripartita. Los cambios económicos y sociales solo han afectado la naturaleza de los acuerdos; Por ejemplo, el gobierno tiene más iniciativa que antes para controlar la restricción salarial.The economic and social agreement in Europe: Crisis or renaissance? Hans Slomp. In Western Europe, the economic and social agreement between the government and trade unions and employer confederations ("tripartite system") is an important part of national politics and a distinctive feature of industrial relations. Recent changes in economic and social conditions, such as labor strikes, and in the economic structure (globalization, flexibility) affect the power of the union, the motivation of employers to participate in national contracts, and the freedom of governments to carry out national policies. However, these changes have not diminished economic and social agreements. On the contrary, these agreements have been introduced or strengthened in countries without a tripartite tradition. Economic and social changes have only affected the nature of the agreements; For example, the government has more initiative than before to control the wage restriction
Guideline development for prevention of transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease:reduction of indications for irradiated blood components after prestorage leukodepletion of blood components
Transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease (TA-GVHD) is a rare, commonly fatal complication of transfusion preventable by irradiation of blood units. The revision of the Dutch transfusion guideline addressed the question whether irradiation is still necessary if blood components are prestorage leukodepleted. We searched for published cases of TA-GVHD following transfusion of prestorage leukodepleted blood and through contacting haemovigilance systems. Six presumed cases were found, dating from 1998 to 2013. Four out of six patients had received one or more non-irradiated units despite recognised indications for irradiated blood components. In the countries providing information, over 50 million prestorage leukodepleted, non-irradiated, non-pathogen-reduced cellular components were transfused in a 10-year period. Potential benefits of lifting indications for irradiation were considered. These include reduced irradiation costs (€ 1.5 million annually in the Netherlands) and less donor exposure for neonates. Findings were presented in an invitational expert meeting. Recommendations linked to human leukocyte antigen similarity between donor and recipient or intra-uterine transfusion were left unchanged. Indications linked to long-lasting deep T-cell suppression were defined with durations of 6 or 12 months after end of treatment (e.g. autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplantation). Need for continued alertness to TA-GVHD and haemovigilance reporting of erroneous non-irradiated transfusions was emphasised.</p
Clinical characteristics of women captured by extending the definition of severe postpartum haemorrhage with 'refractoriness to treatment': a cohort study
Background: The absence of a uniform and clinically relevant definition of severe postpartum haemorrhage
hampers comparative studies and optimization of clinical management. The concept of persistent postpartum
haemorrhage, based on refractoriness to initial first-line treatment, was proposed as an alternative to common
definitions that are either based on estimations of blood loss or transfused units of packed red blood cells
(RBC). We compared characteristics and outcomes of women with severe postpartum haemorrhage captured
by these three types of definitions.
Methods: In this large retrospective cohort study in 61 hospitals in the Netherlands we included 1391 consecutive
women with postpartum haemorrhage who received either ≥4 units of RBC or a multicomponent transfusion. Clinical
characteristics and outcomes of women with severe postpartum haemorrhage defined as persistent postpartum
haemorrhage were compared to definitions based on estimated blood loss or transfused units of RBC within 24 h
following birth. Adverse maternal outcome was a composite of maternal mortality, hysterectomy, arterial embolisation
and intensive care unit admission.
Results: One thousand two hundred sixty out of 1391 women (90.6%) with postpartum haemorrhage fulfilled the
definition of persistent postpartum haemorrhage. The majority, 820/1260 (65.1%), fulfilled this definition within 1 h
following birth, compared to 819/1391 (58.7%) applying the definition of ≥1 L blood loss and 37/845 (4.4%) applying
the definition of ≥4 units of RBC. The definition persistent postpartum haemorrhage captured 430/471 adverse maternal
outcomes (91.3%), compared to 471/471 (100%) for ≥1 L blood loss and 383/471 (81.3%) for ≥4 units of RBC. Persistent
postpartum haemorrhage did not capture all adverse outcomes because of missing data on timing of initial, first-line
treatment.
Conclusion: The definition persistent postpartum haemo
