Mortality prediction models after radical cystectomy for bladder tumour: A systematic review and critical appraisal.

Introduction: To identify risk-predictive models for bladder-specific cancer mortality in patients undergoing radical cystectomy and assess their clinical utility and risk of bias.

Methods: Systematic review (CRD42021224626:PROSPERO) in Medline and EMBASE (from their creation until 31/10/2021) was screened to include articles focused on the development and internal validation of a predictive model of specific cancer mortality in patients undergoing radical cystectomy. CHecklist for critical Appraisal and data extraction for systematic Reviews of prediction Modelling Studies (CHARMS) and Prediction model Risk Of Bias ASsessment Tool (PROBAST) were applied.

Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome in Adulthood: Clinical Characteristics, Prognosis, and Risk Factors.

Background: Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) in adults is being increasingly recognized; however, little is known about its characteristics.

Objective: To describe the clinical characteristics, prognosis, and associated factors in adult FPIES.

Methods: A 10-year prospective study was conducted in the Allergy Section of Alicante General Hospital in adults diagnosed with FPIES.

A new fastening system for temporary pacing with active-fixation leads: effectiveness and safety.

Aims: Temporary cardiac pacing with active-fixation leads (TPAFL) using a reusable permanent pacemaker generator has been shown to be safer than lead systems without fixation. However, TPAFL requires the off-label use of pacemaker leads and generators. We designed a fastening system to ensure the safety and efficacy of the procedure: the KronoSafe System®.

Impact of a clinical pathway on cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes.

Objectives: Clinical pathways (CPs) are interventions that target the way clinical practice guidelines are applied. They can be implemented in different diseases, including diabetes. In this study we evaluated the impact of the implementation of a CP in the control of cardiovascular risk factors and the occurrence of new events in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Sexuality, Quality of Life, Anxiety, Depression, and Anger in Patients with Anal Fissure. A Case-Control Study.

Anal fissures (AFs) are lesions located in the lower anal canal. They can be primary (chronic or acute) or secondary to a basic disease. There is high comorbidity of depression and anxiety in patients with chronic AF, with poorer quality of life (QoL) and sexual function.
