Comprehensive analysis of clinical characteristics, management and prognosis in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy discharged from Spanish hospitals.

Introduction: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a leading cause of heart failure (HF) characterized by left ventricular dilatation and systolic dysfunction not explained by abnormal loading conditions. Despite its prevalence, DCM's epidemiology and prognosis remain poorly studied in our country.

Material And Methods: A retrospective observational study encompassed patients discharged from all Spanish public hospitals between 2016 and 2021 diagnosed with DCM.

Influence of patient characteristics and discharge destination on circulatory system diseases readmissions among older heart failure patients.

Introduction: Heart failure (HF) prevalence is rising, particularly among older people, constituting a significant cause of hospitalization. Discharge destinations, including nursing homes (NH), play a crucial role in post-hospitalization outcomes but remain underexplored.

Methods: A retrospective study utilizing the Spanish National Health System's Minimum Basic Data Set identified older HF patients (≥75 years) discharged from acute hospitals between 2016 and 2019.

Transcultural adaptation to Spain of the CDPQOL questionnaire specific for coeliac children.

This study aimed to translate, cross-culturally adapt, and validate the CDPQOL questionnaire, a coeliac disease (CD)-specific paediatric health-related quality of life (HRQoL) instrument (CDPQOL), in Spanish children with CD. The CDPQOL questionnaire has two versions for children aged 8-12 and 13-18. Translation and linguistic validation were performed following an international consensus process.

The unique risk factor profile of triple-negative breast cancer: a comprehensive meta-analysis.

Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has a poor prognosis compared with other breast cancer subtypes. This systematic review and meta-analysis examines whether known risk factors for breast cancer are also associated with TNBC in adult women.

Methods: EMBASE, Medline, SCOPUS, and gray literature were queried with no limit on the date or language of publication.

Regional differences in infective endocarditis epidemiology and outcomes in Spain. A contemporary population-based study.

Introduction And Objectives: Our aim was to describe the contemporary epidemiological profile of infective endocarditis (IE) in Spain, and to evaluate variations in IE incidence, characteristics, and outcomes among the different Spanish regions (autonomous communities [AC]).

Methods: We conducted a retrospective, population-based study, using data obtained from national in-patient hospital activity of all patients discharged with a diagnosis of IE from hospitals included in the Spanish National Health System, from January 2016 to December 2019. Differences in the IE profile between the 17 Spanish AC were analyzed.
