• Preoperative hemogram as a predictive factor for iron deficit and/or transfusion in patients scheduled for arthroplasty 30 noviembre 2021
  CONCLUSIONS: The hemogram contains parameters that correlate with iron deficiency, however, mean cell volume, so widely used for the orientation of iron deficiency, is not valid as a discriminator of iron deficiency in this group of patients. Low Hb and transferrin saturation index are modifiable predictors for transfusion risk.

• The Portuguese Model of Home Respiratory Care: Healthcare Professionals' Perspective 27 noviembre 2021
  Patients' and carers' views regarding the Portuguese model of home respiratory care were recently described, yet the complementary perspective of healthcare professionals (HCPs) is still to be investigated. Thus, this study explored HCPs experience in the management of patients needing home respiratory therapies (HRT), and their perspective about the Portuguese model. A phenomenological descriptive study, […]

• Baseline Drug Treatments as Indicators of Increased Risk of COVID-19 Mortality in Spain and Italy 27 noviembre 2021
  This study aims to identify baseline medications that, as a proxy for the diseases they are dispensed for, are associated with increased risk of mortality in COVID-19 patients from two regions in Spain and Italy using real-world data. We conducted a cross-country, retrospective, observational study including 8570 individuals from both regions with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection […]

• Differences in breast cancer-risk factors between screen-detected and non-screen-detected cases (MCC-Spain study) 24 noviembre 2021
  CONCLUSION: Reproductive risk factors are associated with SD BC, as are HR+ tumors. Differences in BC-risk factor associations according to detection method may be related to prevailing phenotypes among categories.

• Persistence of SARS-CoV-2 infection on personal protective equipment (PPE) 20 noviembre 2021
  CONCLUSIONS: SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected on different PPE materials for 5 to 30 days, but PPE contaminated with the virus was infectious up to 5-7 days. These findings demonstrate the need to improve PPE management and to formulate strategies to introduce viricidal compounds in PPE fabrics.

• Dietary Fatty Acids, Macronutrient Substitutions, Food Sources and Incidence of Coronary Heart Disease: Findings From the EPIC-CVD Case-Cohort Study Across Nine European Countries 19 noviembre 2021
  Background There is controversy about associations between total dietary fatty acids, their classes (saturated fatty acids [SFAs], monounsaturated fatty acids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids), and risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Specifically, the relevance of food sources of SFAs to CHD associations is uncertain. Methods and Results We conducted a case-cohort study involving 10 529 […]

• Multimorbidity patterns of chronic conditions and geriatric syndromes in older patients from the MoPIM multicentre cohort study 16 noviembre 2021
  CONCLUSIONS: In older patients admitted to hospital because of the exacerbation of chronic health problems, it is possible to define multimorbidity clusters using soft clustering techniques. These clusters are clinically relevant and could be the basis to reorganise healthcare circuits or processes to tackle the increasing number of older, multimorbid patients.

• Differences in Dietary Habits, Physical Exercise, and Quality of Life between Male and Female Patients with Overweight 13 noviembre 2021
  CONCLUSIONS: Pre-admission, women had better habits related to a healthy diet and did not differ from men in habits related to physical exercise but had a higher BMI. At discharge, women reported worse self-perceived health and greater pain/discomfort. These differences should be considered for the adequate clinical management of patients with overweight.

• Chronic diseases associated with increased likelihood of hospitalization and mortality in 68,913 COVID-19 confirmed cases in Spain: A population-based cohort study 12 noviembre 2021
  CONCLUSIONS: Age and specific cardiovascular and metabolic diseases increased the risk of severe SARS-CoV-2 infections in men and women, whereas the effects of certain comorbidities are sex specific. Future studies in different settings are encouraged to analyze which profiles of chronic patients are at higher risk of poor prognosis and should therefore be the targets […]

• Quality certification standard proposal "SpACE" for axial spondyloarthritis treatment units 5 noviembre 2021
  BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Axial spondyloarthritis is an immune-mediated disease with a high cost, diagnostic delay and associated complications that makes it a particularly important condition. This work aims to establish a certification standard (SpACE Project) for monographic consultations in its diagnosis and treatment.

• Diagnostic accuracy of adenosine deaminase for pleural tuberculosis in a low prevalence setting: A machine learning approach within a 7-year prospective multi-center study 4 noviembre 2021
  CONCLUSION: The level of adenosine deaminase in pleural fluid together with cell count, other routine biochemical parameters and age, combined with a machine-learning approach, is suitable for the diagnosis of pleural tuberculosis in a low prevalence scenario. Secondly, non-tuberculous effusions that are suspected to be malignant may also be identified with adequate accuracy.

• Shared Decision-Making and Information Needs among People with Generalized Anxiety Disorder 28 octubre 2021
  Shared decision making (SDM) aims to involve patients in the decisions about their care, considering their preferences, values and concerns about the different treatment options. However, research shows that people with mental health problems have considerable unmet information needs about their condition. This community-based cross-sectional study explores the SDM process and information needs among people […]

• Exercise facilities and the prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes in the city of Madrid 28 octubre 2021
  CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: People living in areas with low availability of exercise facilities had a higher prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes, and this association was strongest in low-SES areas and for women. Understanding the potential role of exercise facilities in driving inequities in obesity and type 2 diabetes prevalence may inform interventions to reduce health […]
