Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common chronic disease with an increasing global prevalence.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to analyse all-cause mortality and its associated factors in people with DM in Spain.
Methods: We conducted a population-based retrospective study based on the 2011/2012 Spanish National Health Survey and the Spanish national death register, with six years of follow-up.
Article Synopsis
- The ERAS protocol for colorectal surgery has been evaluated for its impact on long-term survival and recurrence, but results show no significant advantages compared to traditional care.
- The study analyzed data from 981 patients, finding that 5-year overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates were similar between ERAS and non-ERAS groups.
- Key risk factors for poor outcomes included age, low BMI, smoking, high ASA score, and laparotomy, with age identified as a protective factor for RFS when adjusted for the ERAS group.
Introduction: Researchers conducting studies based on electronic health records (EHRs) often have to deal with missing data. We aimed to analyze patterns of missing data in lipid profile, sociodemographic variables and risk factors contained in the EHRs of the CARDIABETES project and compare different strategies for addressing the issue.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of people with diabetes, based on EHRs in the Spanish Pharmacoepidemiological Research Database for Public Health Systems (BIFAP).

Article Synopsis
- Standard treatment for resectable peritoneal metastases (PM) involves cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), but recurrence rates are high, prompting consideration for repeat procedures in some patients.
- A study analyzed 132 repeat CRS/HIPEC surgeries between 1994 and 2024, finding that most patients had multiple procedures with similar complications and recovery times, and no 90-day postoperative mortality was recorded.
- Results indicated that while overall survival and recurrence-free survival varied, the procedure offers comparable outcomes for both initial and repeat surgeries, with improved survival observed, particularly for patients with peritoneal pseudomyxoma (
