UnknownA simple validated method for predicting the risk of hospitalization for worsening of heart failure in ambulatory patients: the Redin-SCORE.

Aims

Prevention of hospital readmissions is one of the main objectives in the management of patients with heart failure (HF). Most of the models predicting readmissions are based on data extracted from hospitalized patients rather than from outpatients. Our objective was to develop a validat...

UnknownEDUCORE project: a clinical trial, randomised by clusters, to assess the effect of a visual learning method on blood pressure control in the primary healthcare setting.

Background

High blood pressure (HBP) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). European hypertension and cardiology societies as well as expert committees on CVD prevention recommend stratifying cardiovascular risk using the SCORE method, the modification of lifestyles to prev...

UnknownRationale and study design for an individualized perioperative open lung ventilatory strategy (iPROVE): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background

Postoperative pulmonary and non-pulmonary complications are common problems that increase morbidity and mortality in surgical patients, even though the incidence has decreased with the increased use of protective lung ventilation strategies. Previous trials have focused on standar...

UnknownPhysical activity patterns in type 1 diabetes in Spain: The SED1 study.

Aims

To describe the physical activity (PA) frequency and intensity in the Spanish type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) population and its association with their glycemic control.

Methods

A cross-sectional observational study was carried out in 75 Spanish public hospitals (the SED1 study). ...

UnknownNovel genes and sex differences in COVID-19 severity.
Here, we describe the results of a genome-wide study conducted in 11 939 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) positive cases with an extensive clinical information that were recruited from 34 hospitals across Spain (SCOURGE consortium). In sex-disaggregated genome-wide association studies for COVID-1...

UnknownCharacteristics and predictors of death among 4035 consecutively hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in Spain.

Objectives

To analyse the characteristics and predictors of death in hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Spain.

Methods

A retrospective observational study was performed of the first consecutive patients hospitalized with COVID-19 confirmed by real-time P...

UnknownClonal chromosomal mosaicism and loss of chromosome Y in elderly men increase vulnerability for SARS-CoV-2.
The pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19) had an estimated overall case fatality ratio of 1.38% (pre-vaccination), being 53% higher in males and increasing exponentially with age. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study,...

UnknownIdentification and validation of clinical phenotypes with prognostic implications in patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19: a multicentre cohort study.

Background

The clinical presentation of COVID-19 in patients admitted to hospital is heterogeneous. We aimed to determine whether clinical phenotypes of patients with COVID-19 can be derived from clinical data, to assess the reproducibility of these phenotypes and correlation with prognosis,...

UnknownShaping current European mitochondrial haplogroup frequency in response to infection: the case of SARS-CoV-2 severity.
The frequency of mitochondrial DNA haplogroups (mtDNA-HG) in humans is known to be shaped by migration and repopulation. Mounting evidence indicates that mtDNA-HG are not phenotypically neutral, and selection may contribute to its distribution. Haplogroup H, the most abundant in Europe, improved sur...

UnknownInternal fixation versus revision arthroplasty for Vancouver B2-B3 fractures: mortality and functional outcomes in frail patients. Insights from the PIPPAS study of 485 patients.

Background

Periprosthetic femoral fractures following hip arthroplasty (FH-PPF) represent a severe complication, especially in elderly patients with compromised health. Traditionally, revision arthroplasty is recommended for B2-B3 FH-PPF, yet internal fixation has emerged as a debated altern...
