Factors influencing mortality trends of pancreatic cancer in Spain, 1955-2020.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the trends of pancreatic cancer mortality in Spain from 1955-2020 in both genders and every age group, in order to describe the changes in the prevalence of some risk factors and their possible influence on mortality.

Methods: Direct standardized mortality rates were calculated using the World Standard Population 2000-2025 and Joinpoint analysis was performed for age-specific and age-standardized mortality trends for the period from 1955-2020.

Results: Mortality rates increased with age in both genders, with a marked increase in older groups.

[Postoperative dehiscence of the abdominal wound and its impact on excess mortality, hospital stay and costs].

Introduction: The objectives of this study were to investigate the relationship between several factors and the incidence of postoperative abdominal wall dehiscence (POAD), and to estimate the influence of POAD on in-hospital mortality, excess length of stay and costs.

Methods: Retrospective observational study of a sample of abdominal surgery patients from a minimal basic data set of 87 Spanish hospitals during 2008-2010.

Results: Among 323,894 admissions for abdominal surgery reviewed there were 2,294 patients with POAD.

Surgical site infections in patients who undergo radical cystectomy: Excess mortality, stay prolongation and hospital cost overruns.

Background: The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of surgical site infections (SSI) in patients who underwent radical cystectomy, in terms of excess hospital mortality, stay prolongation and cost overruns.

Material And Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted on a sample of patients who underwent radical cystectomy as recorded in the basic minimum data sets of 87 Spanish hospitals from 2008-2010.

Results: We studied 4377 patients who underwent radical cystectomy (3904 men and 473 women) of whom 849 (19.

Alcohol use disorders among surgical patients: unplanned 30-days readmissions, length of hospital stay, excessive costs and mortality.

Aims: Alcohol use disorders (AUD) have been associated with an increased risk of unplanned hospital readmissions (URA). We analyzed in a sample of 87 Spanish Hospitals if surgical patients with AUD had a higher risk of URA and if among patients with URA, those with AUD had an excess length of hospital stay, higher hospital expenses and increased risk of mortality.

Method: We analyzed data of patients who underwent surgical operations during the period between 2008 and 2010.
