Consensus-based recommendations on physical activity and exercise in patients with diabetes at risk of foot ulcerations: a Delphi study.

Background: Patients with diabetes mellitus are exposed to important complications. Currently little evidence exist on the guidelines that these patients, at some risk of foot ulceration, should follow for physical exercise.

Objectives: To reach a consensus among multidisciplinary and international experts on physical activity/exercise recommendations for patients with diabetes, according to foot ulcer risk.

Psychometric properties of the Clarke questionnaire for hypoglycemia awareness in the Spanish population with type 2 diabetes.

Objectives: The Clarke questionnaire, validated in Spanish language, assesses hypoglycemia awareness in patients with type 1 diabetes. This study aimed to analyze its psychometric properties in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).

Methods: This was a questionnaire validation study.

C-Reactive Protein and Serum Albumin Ratio: A Feasible Prognostic Marker in Hospitalized Patients with COVID-19.

(1) Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin are inflammatory markers. We analyzed the prognostic capacity of serum albumin (SA) and CRP for an outcome comprising mortality, length of stay, ICU admission, and non-invasive mechanical ventilation in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. (2) Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study based on the Spanish national SEMI-COVID-19 Registry.

Clinical efficacy of urea treatment in syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion.

The aim of this work is to examine our experience in the use of urea in patients with SIADH. Observational retrospective analysis of 48 patients with SIADH that have been treated with urea in a third-level hospital. Pre-post analysis of serum sodium levels.

Nutritional and Functional Impact of Acute SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Hospitalized Patients.

Aim: To assess the prevalence of malnutrition, frailty, and sarcopenia and the relationships between them in patients hospitalized for COVID-19. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of the prevalence, determinants, and associations between malnutrition (GLIM 2019 criteria), sarcopenia (SARC-F scale, dynamometry, and calf circumference), and frailty (FRAIL scale) upon discharge following hospitalization for COVID 19. Results: A total of 101 patients (67.

Diabetes Does Not Increase the Risk of Hospitalization Due to COVID-19 in Patients Aged 50 Years or Older in Primary Care-APHOSDIAB-COVID-19 Multicenter Study.

The purpose of this study was to identify clinical, analytical, and sociodemographic variables associated with the need for hospital admission in people over 50 years infected with SARS-CoV-2 and to assess whether diabetes mellitus conditions the risk of hospitalization. A multicenter case-control study analyzing electronic medical records in patients with COVID-19 from 1 March 2020 to 30 April 2021 was conducted. We included 790 patients: 295 cases admitted to the hospital and 495 controls.

["Working without patients": a new strategy to improve the glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Avoiding therapeutic inertia.].

Objective: Inertia has been described as one of the causes of persistent poor glycemic control. The aim of this study was to evaluate, after one year of implementation in a health area, the effect of an intervention to improve the degree of glycemic control of patients with type 2 diabetes (DM2).

Methods: A pre-post intervention study was carried out in one health department during 2018.

Validation and psychometric properties of the 8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) in type 2 diabetes patients in Spain.

Aims: To validate a translated and culturally adapted version of the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale for use in Spanish population, and to examine the psychometric properties of this scale in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Spain.

Design: This cross-sectional study was conducted in a single university hospital in Spain. Patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus at least 1 year before inclusion, being treated with anti-diabetic medication were included.

Hospital admissions trends for severe hypoglycemia in diabetes patients in Spain, 2005 to 2015.

Aims: To analyze hospital admissions trends, inpatient mortality, and mean length of hospital stay due to hypoglycemia in patients with diabetes in Spain from 2005 to 2015.

Methods: National Institute of Statistics provided information on hospital discharge and mortality. Hospital admissions due to severe hypoglycemia were identified using ICD-9 codes.

Predictive model to identify the risk of losing protective sensibility of the foot in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Diabetic neuropathy is defined as the presence of symptoms and signs of peripheral nerve dysfunction in diabetics. The aim of this study is to develop a predictive logistic model to identify the risk of losing protective sensitivity in the foot. This descriptive cross-sectional study included 111 patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.

Variability in the clinical diagnosis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

Aims: The aims of this study are to assess the variability in the prevalence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), according to the diagnostic and clinical guidelines used.

Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted of 111 patients with diabetes mellitus. The presence/absence of DPN was determined according to 12 different criteria stipulated in various clinical guidelines (ADA 2018, IWGDF 2016, IDF 2012 and CONUEI 2018).
